    Hi I’m gay. Kink isn’t a sexuality. People who like Bluey can also be kinky, but that doesn’t mean the show should show kink. You do you, but I still don’t like seeing kink in public places. 🤷‍♂️

      Genuine question: Why should anyone care what you like to see in public spaces? I’m honestly curious if you’ve examined that train of thought. Why should your personal feelings even enter into what is and is not acceptable in public?

      Besides, you’re a furry, yes? Every argument against kink in public is equally applicable to fursuits in public. “But those people do weird sex stuff and when I see them it makes me think about it” is every bit as true of furries as it is of kinksters.

      Personally, I’m a little grossed out by some of the things I see among kinksters at pride. But I’m an adult and I can ignore harmless things I dislike.

        I didn’t say anyone should care. I even explicitly said “you do you,” I just don’t personally like to see it. Go out in a pup mask half naked into a Starbucks for all I care, but don’t expect respect from me.

        Also, there’s a massive difference between a fursuit in public and blatant kink gear, and if you can’t see that difference then we’re not going to find any common ground and this discussion is a waste of time.

      Kink isn’t “a” sexuality. It is a label we put on some people’s sexuality that covers galaxies of different things. It can and often does refer to fundamental features of a persons sexuality without which they do not function on a sexual level. What they all have in common is being marginalized. Like you’re doing now.
