You find them gross? That is a you problem. You think their aesthetic is icky? Well, again, that is a you problem. They are adults playing with adults. If you are not engaging with them with a consent framework, you are fucking doing it wrong. Consent is key.
"Oh but I think they are pedophiles" "Oh but I think the feral furries are all zoophiles" come the fuck on. It is not like you need to dig deep into people who are PUBLICLY into animal or child abuse. You do not need to accuse people who are playing with aesthetics you find close to those.
Golden rule: If everybody involved is enthusiastically consenting : All good. I do not like ABDL or diapers at all. Don't see myself in a situation with them. Does that mean I do not enjoy watching people share their passion for it? Absolutely not. Curate your space, don't kink shame 😤
It gets even more hilarious when you find out how many babyfurs are basically running the conventions and local meetups 😂😂😂
I'm uncomfortable with ABDL, but so what? My tastes are irrelevant to whether something is actually harmful, which ABDL isn't. People need to develop the maturity to say "I'm not into this thing, but it's fine for others to be" instead of starting these ridiculous moral crusades
