i’m definitely LEAVE ME ALONE
$8 for those? Fuck it, I’m selling 3D printed knickknacks to furries for a living
A perfect example of how capitalism penalizes the disabled and neurodiverse though.
“Oh, you have sensory issues? That’ll be $8 per issue or guess you’ll just have to deal”
In my endless resourcefulness, I’ve solved this problem for free with a little trick I like to call dissociative episode
These are for fursuiters who have a hard time being heard under all the fluff
I wrote paragraphs critiquing this sentiment as someone inside the fandom, but I got five paragraphs in and was veering into capitalist realism so I stopped myself.
Rather than some wordy, pseudo-lefty analysis, I’ll just say we have a glut of people doing that already and it sucks then follow with an emoji.
Now I want to read it though

These are incredibly useful for fursuiters. Especially those without an experienced handler.
Is a handler someone who helps suiters not bump into everything?
Correct. Also helps keeps them hydrated and stuff. Make sure they don’t die from heat stroke. That kinda stuff
definitely did not intend for this post to punch down on my furry comrades, consent badges are such a cool idea! kinda silly they are $8 a piece tho.
These aren’t like official badges or anything, it’s just some person selling them. You could just make your own for zero dollars.
yea i know i’ve been to a convention before

I assume from some of them talking about props that these are for cosplayers at cons? But all the ones specifically about hugs remind me of this book we read our kid called “Don’t Hug Doug” about how some people don’t want to be touched and you need to get permission before showing people physical affection.
At one point it points out that you can hug a porcupine, but it’s not recommended.
Very cute book.
