The Forbidding Unlawful Representation of Roleplaying in Education, or FURRIES, Act, filed by Austin-area Republican State Rep. Stan Gerdes, would “prohibit any non-human behavior by a student, including presenting himself or herself, on days other than exempt days, as anything other than a human being.”
The law would allow for exempt days, such as Halloween and other school dress-up days.
The law defines “non-human” behavior as “any type of behavior or accessory displayed by a student in a school district other than behaviors or accessories typically displayed by a member of the homo sapiens species,” with provided examples being:
Using a litter box for the passing of stool, urine or other human byproducts
A personal or outward display, except during a school play or by a school mascot, through surgical or superficial means of features that are non-human such as using tails, leashes, collars or other accessories designed for pets
Using fur, other than naturally occurring human hair or a wig made to look like human hair
Artificial, animal-like ears
Other physiological features that have not historically been assigned to the human race through a means of natural biological development
Students who bark, meow, hiss or make other animal noises that are not human speech
Licking oneself or others for the purpose of grooming or maintenance.
I always tell people, that they won’t stop at LGBTQ+ people, and will eventually go into persecuting other subcultures.
It would be so funny if schools start “dressup weeks/months” with rotating theme in protest
Is the hacker known as 4Chan at it again?
Ironic really, given how right here the cuntservatives are just chasing their own tail.
Fascists are so stupid, they start to believe their own propaganda. Can’t even remember, or at least be bothered to remember, that they made this up to scare normies.
well also. once you drum up enough fear, you can act on that fear. when you act on that fear you can do something that masquerades as something else. they say this is about keeping furrie play out of school. but the powers they got themselves will go a long way to labeling any kind of “out of the ordinary” behavior autistic kids do as being furrie play. this is all going accrording to plan
i cannot begin to describe how utterly fucking stupid this is.
I genuinely thought i died and went to hell when i first read this, this bill doesn’t even make any fucking sense. Child exhibiting “non human behaviors” could be considered “child abuse” according to this bill.
How the fuck do you even enforce this?
Overreaching Authoritarianism.
Standard Republican kit.
pretty much.
The law defines “non-human” behavior “any type of behavior… [not typically] displayed by a member of the homo sapiens species,”
NATHON!! STOP ACTING LIKE A HOMO ERECTUS YOU NEANDERTHAL!
also im pretty sure “human” means ‘under the homo genus’ not ‘homo sapien’ but its not like it matters to them
The law defines “non-human” behavior “any type of behavior… [not typically] displayed by a member of the homo sapiens species,”
“My fellow Americans, I’m pleased to tell you today that I’ve signed legislation that will outlaw Florida forever.”
These are the same people that defined us all as female afterall.
Why on earth are they pursuing this. We all know this is not a real problem.
If it was a scare crow to attack trans rights, they have achieved that. They have pulverized trans rights in many places, especially bathroom access.
Who stands to gain from this? It is not a real problem!
The rage machine requires fuel.
This is at the very core of everything that is happening.
not all of it! some of it is just exploitation and pillaging.
I swear to fuck; nobody ever gives pillaging the credit it deserves.
the rage is the point. the feeling of a win is the point.
the cost to the tech industry is an acceptable cost; these people do not connect cause and effect.
Fascists are always trying to enforce their idiotic worldview as a display of power - it also has a bonus of distracting people from their disasterous economic policies.

‘non-human’
this could go much darker than anti-furry biotry, which already isn’t great, real fast. is your nose too big? in a non-human way? does a man have tits that are too large? in a non-human way?
Is your skin too dark to be considered human? Are you acting in a manner that the white elite deem
thuggishnon-human?Considering this is a Texas bill it’s not hard to see how it will be abused.
does your hair curl in a way that’s human? is your accent fully human? what about your genitals? is that a dick, or some non-human shit?
Rent free.
Surgical means‽
Also why are they legislating about this. Texas schools have real problems like gun violence and illiteracy. Furries and animal role play are just things some people have always done that don’t really harm anyone and given how they persist across so many cultures and times could actually be considered a natural behavior of homo sapiens like parrots’ mimicry
and if parents are whining about THE FURRY MENACE and don’t want their kids to learn how computers work, then they won’t be making a fuss about the difficult or expensive problems, like keeping their children from being murdered or giving them an education.
In these trying times republicans are banning ghosts and bigfoots, which are real and legitimate concerns and not fake anecdotes that have spiralled out of control in some kind right wing fetish news circles.
Fuck how the heck they find double entendre.acronyms for any shit they pull. Coincidentally eat shit assholes what the fuck did those poor people do to you? I don’t consider myself a furry but have friends that does.
“Backronym” is the term I’ve always heard- starting with the acronym then coming up with what it stands for
LLMs are good at that. It could be a tool in their toolbox.
Man they keep coming back to the litterbox thing, it really freaks them tf out. Even though its been debunked dozens of time, my conservative friends all swear they know a guy that knows a guy that swears he saw one for real!
The litterbox thing is so outrageous that it gives their tyrannical proposals the vineer of addressing a real problem.
But the litterbox story was fabricated, and the only grain of truth of it is that some classrooms did keep kitty litter as a mitigation against being trapped by an active shooter - another conservative-created problem.
They will continue to glom onto outrageous stories, to justify their outrageously oppressive proposals.
Oh, the litter boxes are real…
It’s just that their purpose is to be used during a school shooting lockdown.
Oh, that’s fine then. School shootings are an American tradition so Republicans won’t prevent that
This is no more outlandish or unscientific than the WHOLE anti-trans thing:
Men pretending to be trans to access woman spaces does not happen any more frequently than furry students shitting in litterboxes.
The right is consistently and historically mobilized by fantastic beasts their cult leaders brainwash them about.
The kitty litter is not for pooping in. It is for covering up the blood. (The bucket is for pooping though)
I would not be able to stop myself from laughing if i saw that happening for real but these people think of it as a threat to their existence, as a crime.
What a witless world we live in.
This started out as a far-far-fetched construction to attack trans rights. In fact, whoever designed this hoax is Goebbels-level diabolical. If you break it down, it subconsciously re-arranges the notions of self-identification and toilet use, in a way that presents “reckless liberalism” as an immediate threat to normalcy.
The people who eat this shit up may be stupid, but the people who design it are not. This goes beyond straw-man attack and slippery slope fallacy. It rather combines both into a powerful manipulation technique that bears resemblance to mass hypnosis. They have someone really malevolent on the propaganda payroll, folks.
Oppress furries Get cyberhacked
