A) That's the mission statement in this whole discussion. I don't think about politics when I'm dancing in fursuit. Honestly I rather not think about politics at all, not in the furry fandom.
B) WHAT? I have an issue with badges that say "I hate (a collective)". Why do you need to hate certain collectives at a convention? Hate speech shouldn't happen at a convention.
Unless the badge is something like "I hate brussel sprouts". Or some joke, or self-deprecation. I love those "Furry Trash" badges.
C) I'm not familiar with Daryl Davis' case and really I just used it as an analogy to make a point. I can't vouch for anything you're saying about his experiences.
I don't have a special interest in fighting against white supremacy. ESPECIALLY not in a silly animals fandom. If you do though, I suggest you reassess your strategy to one that:
1.- Is actually effective. Dogpatch can denounce all the groups he wants but they keep popping up because people like them.
2.- Doesn't fuck up everyone else's day who's just trying to have a bit of enjoyment or learn about furry stuff. Yes, I get it, you don't like Nazis. I get it. Yes, I get it, thank you. You despise Nazis, yes, thank you. I get it. Yes, Nazis are bad, yes, thank you. Okay now you're being annoying.
3.- Doesn't have Dogpatch as a vocal representative because his 'journalism' / activism has gone beyond yellow. The quality of his written work is very poor. Not entirely related, you should check out his profile at Kiwi Farms, it's quite funny (if you like offensive humor). I grade the Kiwi Farms profile a B-
