Someone can be "fairly respectful" or "civil" about their views on gender identity & sexuality, but if their message boils down to ideology like "I don't believe this really exists", "Be a man or a woman, ffs", or "These people are all just mentally ill", it doesn't really matter how "respectful" they are being if their message / beliefs are harmful to marginalized groups.
I don't necessarily encourage these kinds of hostile replies, but I can absolutely see where it comes from, and it is absolutely understandable.
If your beliefs can cause or encourages harm, hostility can enforce the message that it is not welcome in these places.
I would also love to know what kind of "left wing agenda" that the commenter is claiming to "cause so much harm" actually is.
As good as I feel Lemmy is, I find a lot of the meme & humor communities alarmingly depressing.
I'm not looking for 24/7 wholesome! But, man.. I just want to see funny memes.

Greenery is so wonderful and relaxing. I can barely keep myself alive, so I'm not sure any abundance of plants would do well in my care!
NOOOOOO!! /s
For real, though, I've never met such a person, but they sound like fun!
Posters, plushies, stickers, and figurines. That sounds nice! It's so good to have your own clean space away from others. (:
Yoooooo I love entertainment stands/centers with storage and shelves and drawers and shit!!!! Nice!!!!

Oh, it would keep you cozy, for sure!
It's not "weatherproof", per se, but the eyes won't be damaged by the elements, the nose has been meticulously sealed, and the faux fur can be dried pretty quickly when hung up & stored properly. The only different thing that may have to be done is to comb/brush through it as it dries.
Thank you!
I actually had things like LARP & ren faires pop into my head when I was thinking about what kind of goober besides me would like this!
Thank you! It's definitely a difficult balance to have creatures look good without looking too uncanny.
I'd probably be down with that! Send me a message if you'd like to discuss it further.
I made a more "realistic" version in my v1.0 iteration, but I really do prefer the bigger, more friendly eyes!
I definitely would, if people are interested.
I currently only have base patterned for big cats and wolves/canines right now, though. But I'm sure I could mod the canine base to be a fox or something.
What kind of creature did you have in mind? (If not a black lion)
Oh, it's nice and cozy!
It's fully lined, so it's meant to be used as kind of a hat/hood/scarf combo. I'm sure it could potentially be modified to attach to a piece of clothing, though!
Thank you so much!
I actually had this project hanging around since last year.. but since it's nearly Halloween, I figured this was the time to finish it.
This actually v2.0 of one that I had made last year, but I wasn't super satisfied with it, so this is the "new and improved" version.
I actually wanted to keep it for myself to wear for fall/winter weather, but I'm pretty strapped for cash right now, so I'm gonna try to sell it. Maybe I'll make a v3.0 for myself, one day!
I patterned it all from scratch, too!
Sewn both by hand & machine. Has a velcro closure on the front of the neck! Also super light, so your head & neck won't hurt while wearing it (I'm very proud of that)! I lined the mouth with soft fleece and the inside of the head with satin. It's really comfortable!
It's not a mask, so you can't see out of it if you pull it over your face!! It's meant to be worn more like a hood.
If you have any questions about how it was made, feel free to ask!
Black fur is really difficult to photograph.. it looks better in-person!
Sloppy edge because I was just in a hurry to get it done, and I also ran out of that color.
Made it for a trip, but it's too large. I'm pretty frustrated at myself for that. Oh well..
I took in a silkback/scaleless bearded dragons some years ago after all my fosters were adopted, as I wanted to get some experience with such a misunderstood species.
I learned an absolute ton and have been educating about silkbacks on R×ddit for some years now, dispelling myths, discouraging ownership / breeding, and swapping advice with the fellow silkback owners.
One thing I've noticed is that silkbacks seem to be prone to blindness / vision loss. We suspect that their eyes may be much more sensitive to UVB, resulting in eyesight deterioration. My own has lost most of his vision and now struggles to find food on his own.
tl;dr: Is vision restoration even possible? Surgery? I'd love for my guy to be able to see again. It really hurts me to him struggle to even feel comfortable roaming my house now. The world can be scary for a little lizard when they can no longer see what's around them.
Thank you.
