Before the 2024 Oklahoma legislative sessions begin, thousands of bills will be filed and most will never come close to becoming law.

One Oklahoma lawmaker, Rep. Justin Humphrey, R-Lane, decided to file a bill targeting “furries,” or people in a subculture interested in anthropomorphic animal characters, in Oklahoma schools.

    But, if parents are unable to pick the student up, the bill says “animal control services shall be contacted to remove the student.”

    …will animal control play along this shit?

    If I was in high school, this would be prime material for fucking with these idiots.

    Halloween = animal costume

    Headphones = razor kitty headphones

    Back back = Tails backpack

    All of my metal head friends would be looking cute as shit. This would’ve been infinitely entertaining to us.

    I had a neighbor just straight up ask me if the school my kid went to had litterboxes instead of bathrooms, because he heard it on the “news”.

    I spent some time explaining to the poor man what propoganda is, and how to recognize it, and that it’s important to understand that if someome is trying to get an emotional reaction out of you, they’re trying to manipulate you into doing or thinking something stupid.

    He’s handicapped and spends a lot of time watching TV, and didn’t realize how much news channels have devolved into propoganda outlets.

    So now the GOP is attacking furries? Didn’t get enough traction from their voters with only women, LGBTQ+, and minorities?

    These people need to dragged into the streets and shot. I’m tired of taking the high road.
