    It’s not a “phobia”, if I’m pissed at you for what you do, not where you’re from. I’m not even mad at Russians, I’m mad at Putin.

    I have a russian friend, he’s a furry, great guy, his fursona’s a bee. I honestly hope he gets to leave Russia because the police can and would have him killed for being bisexual.

        I’d put them in a similar category as scalies, where they’re technically not furry, but close enough that the distinction hardly matters. In the end they’re all personas based on anthropomorphic animals. Insect-sonas are decently common, I’ve seen lots of bee and moth sonas.

    Ahh yes, russophobia, just like antisemitism when talk about the shit done by the government.

      They’re explicitly against free speech over on .ml. And that’s for a reason. The auth-left and the auth-right are uncomfortably alike.
