Something I like people like this to think about is all of the things someone can do with their hands. And we will hold our children.

why does this come back every 6 months. you are arguing about nothing.

"don't wear kink gear in public, regardless of whether or not it actually shows anything" ok so you will also get upset at seeing people in... wetsuits, sneakers, hazmat suits, high heels, tennis socks, helmets, boots, mtx gear,... right? RIGHT? Because a ton of people get off on all of that too

i mean. makeup is explicitly designed to accentuate "attractive" features

who cummin to microtransaction gear. And how do you wear it

if we’re being honest there’s a pretty clear difference between “thing made specifically for kink” and “thing that’s purpose is to accentuate attractiveness” and “thing that has a purpose but people have kinks related to it” and a pup hood falls in the first category while sneakers are in the third

You can say that about ANYTHING, people get turned on by sequins, shoes, high heels, makeup, hair, tattoos, skinny bodies, chunky bodies, amputations, glasses, denim, fur, EVERYTHING is something to somebody, if we went by these rules the pride parades would be an empty street (+)

i went to mff and saw so many i am *several*decades old and i didn't know what they were for the children either don't know or know already what they are it wouldn't be particularly harmful to either group it's pretty much just a fun dog mask 🤷

I mean I'd even argue that at its core, a pup hood in particular isn't really *for* anything beyond personal expression/style and signalling that you're part of a group/subculture tbh but also yeah i can't see the harm in having to go "it's a dog hat, they wear it because they like it" lol

i cant take "but what about kids" in good faith anymore. its been a cudgel for breaking up queer spaces for more than half a century. it's your job as a parent to explain things to kids. it is as simple as saying "because they want to wear them." if youre taking a kid to a con floor do your work

i think they're a little scary but that's only bc i'm scared of eye contact and pup hoods accentuate the eyes a lot more

yeah i mean personal preferences and tastes are one thing but... making it everyone else's problem is where it starts pissing me off.

you can ask people you know not to wear something that makes you uncomfortable, but demanding the general public to do that (and making horrible character judgements based on it)...
