    I’m not equating furries to pedophiles here, as I have absolutely no problems with them what so ever…

    But this is the equivalent of saying people hate pedophiles, but love children. It’s pretty obvious that the sexualization is the difference.

      "I’m not implying that taco eaters are responsible for the pandemic, mind you…

      But there was always a line around the block at Taco Bell in the early days of the pandemic."

      The moment you say “I’m not equating benign X with problematic Y”, you immediately put the idea in people’s head that X and Y have a strong correlation which serves to further skepticism and judgment of benign X.
