    Honestly, dude needs to watch his mouth. Not a furry myself, but from what I’ve seen, like 80% of the infrastructure for, y’know, the ENTIRE FUCKING PLANET’S ECONOMY, appears to be furry run or furry adjacent. It’s a super popular community among techy types, and it’s completely harmless. I’d be genuinely concerned about pissing off the only community that might actually be capable of organizing a general strike.

    Also, to my furry amigues… General strike… Just consider it…

    I mean, if it would keep unhinged conservatives off planes and out of airports, I’m onboard with pushing this propaganda.

    It’s only a matter of time until some ultra-conservative politician or hate-preacher is caught in flagrante delicto, only not this time helping a rentboy “pray the gay away” but living a double life as a sexually adventurous cheetah or something.

    In your title, “One in every” is missing any sort of numerical entry to finish the clause, but your title is also highly misleading because all he really said was that there are a lot of them. Unless you’ve got some context that wasn’t in the article.

    Supposedly this is the quote

    Listen to this. Many airline pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers are part of the furry community. Lord help us. It’s terrifying when you think about this. When you walk onto a commercial flight, it’s possible that the pilot of your plane could have a deranged fetish of dressing up like an animal.

    He’s probably underestimating that number, honestly. We’re kinda everywhere.

    That said, I don’t actually know any furry pilots outside the military, so…

      Yeah, I saw the actual headline and my first thought was “What do you mean ‘secretly’?” I don’t think there’s an airforce in the world that isn’t 90% queer and furry.

        Yeah, from what I hear of them we should be surprised the tarmac techs at airpots aren’t wearing animal ears and tails :

          Furries keep our planes in the air and the entire Internet running, when they’re not making essential medical breakthroughs, and I think it’s about time they got the respect they deserve.

            hen they’re not making essential medical breakthroughs

            If furries are so good at medical breakthroughs, how come they haven’t invented cat ear transplant technology?

            Turning Point Anti-fur.

    I heard the maybe-not-that-highly rambunctious claim that one in every politician is a closeted pedo.
