fursecution
Throughout all of history, humanity has faced the threat of abusing, buying, controlling, and destroying those who are different from us. From the Portuguese slave trade to the systemic oppression of Apartheid, the discrimination of whose who exist the same as we do, but only born different, is known by one word: racism.
Now we live in a different form of discrimination, where we are not persecuted for who we were born as, but who we weren't. The furry mindset is a chaotic one; those who wish they were born yifferent, are too often closeted as to who they are. Much like a transgender child must hide that fact from their parents lest they be thrown out on the street, our kin must hide our furry facets, lest we face the very same discrimination.
The same neo-Nazis that exist to make the lives a living Hell for those who do not live in the white-centric world, are the same villains who fight to ensure the "furry menace" is exterminated. Their cause is unjust. They fight regardless. There is nothing they will stop at to assassinate the "furfags".
And just like transphobia in France being in vogue, too often is fursecution on the Internet, where the discrimination of those who just want to put their paws up and express their love for their furry kin, is too real. Like the Muslim in Sweden. Like the black man in Japan. Like the Jew in Saudi Arabia, the Israelite in Palestine, and the Palestinian in Israel... the issues faced by furries outweigh them all.
We present this gallery of propaganda, this tag full of bad ideas and even worse intentions, not so that you may emulate what they want you to be. Rather, we present these, uncensored so as not to offend the harshness of reality, so you may thrash against, rebel against, and bring misfortune to, all those who spread these ideas.
All who believe it is okay to hate someone because of the colour of their fursuit... it's disgusting. The author wishes not to colour this entry with their opinions. But it is. It is disgusting that such injustice still exists in our world. It is worse to see it exist on our safe space of e621, where we may be who we are, segregated into ghettoes like the Jim Crow laws would have us, like the negro at the drinking fountain, like the East German slaves, and like the Jews in Denmark. But we provide these, because ignoring them will not make these issues go away.
Those who profess to favor freedom, yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.
