Disney makes and/or releases quite a lot of furry bait. Zootopia? (the) Bad Guys? Bluey? (which is so popular that it has a musical now) Also, there’s Turning Red, both Sing movies, all four Kung Fu Panda movies, all 3 Madagascar movies + the spinoff, older movies like Robin Hood, The Rescuers, The Fox and the Hound, etc.

Got a spinning wheel when posting that comment. This is a test to see how long that lasts. (update: forever, but it posts instantly)

To make sure that this comment isn’t useless: You could always do a diminutive of Darren (i.e. Darrie, Dara*, Darrey, etc.)

*Dara, while fitting the whole feminization thing, is actually a male name from Irish and as such is used as a masculine name in the British Isles, although most cases elsewhere are as a female name

Had a long-winded comment but it never got posted. whoops. my main suggestions would be Croatian “Darija”, Ukrainian “Daryna”, or Russian “Dasha” (not slavic, slavic names just sound cool)

Or, if you wanna go super crazy, “Odarka” is somehow related to “Daryna”, and Finnish has “Tarja” that’s related to all the other names I’ve listed

That might just be what it is. I decided to look up the differences, and apparently according to The Site That Shall Not Be Named “The Bing image creator is using the 2.exp model of dalle” or may even have something newer.

Indeed.

Rule 1: remember the robot

The only problem is we don’t know what remnants we will have left when we finally find a good alternative, and that good alternative may turn out to be terrible in the long run.

In reality, I think that the main problem is that we’ve allowed capitalism to get to its later stages, and that we should’ve switched to an alternative long ago while it was still in its middle stages. Any way of life has problems, and the only thing that happens as it evolves is that those problems fester under the surface, eventually killing off most of the progress made because of it.

Indeed. And you can already see fascism becoming more and more popular in places around the world. The defining traits of fascism are so plainly visible that anyone with access to a history book can easily identify it. But fascism says that it is not fascism, but instead is the force for a better country, for a cleaner culture, for a more prosperous people, and so the followers do nothing except fight the people trying to attack it.

The only question is, can we get away from it?

What alternatives we do have are either worse (e.g. feudalism) or are so demonized in capitalist society any good-faith attempt at switching would be destroyed by a bunch of outsiders who know nothing about it (e.g. socialism (specifically, libertarian socialism)). And even if we do succeed in getting an alternative on the internet (or anywhere, really), the most powerful beings in whatever space we do it in will attempt to destroy us. The main reason for the “containment of communism”, or the attempt to do so at least, was not “saving people” from communism but actually fear of its spread, and what a communist world would do to the powerful, capitalist countries of the west. (For the record, that actually was the cause, I’m not trying and don’t want to spread tankie propaganda like Lemmy’s devs are. We need libertarianism.) Capitalism, like most other systems, is fragile if people consider alternatives, so people have been made to not consider those alternatives, and as a result everyone is locked into this sinking ship, with many not even realizing it’s sinking before it’s far too late to do anything to stop it.

I find it strange how the second people start making loads of money they forget about what being a human is like

Quick! Call the disgrace of San Francisco spez, we need to share this information with him!

Wow! It’s almost like people and their communities don’t like being treated as a product! I would have never expected that…

In that case, early mammals evolved fur from their scales, so then all furries are scalies.

Got beaten to it by a few hours. Thank you for the appreciation tho!
