furtech: (no cookie)
Even as we're* about to be swamped with a barrage of political ads, one of the fandom's I'm involved in has gotten a taste of politics on a more personal level. A furry art site (a gallery) got themselves embroiled in a HUGE blowup about whether to allow pedophilic artwork (under a variant of the, "they're not children, they're 500 year old elves who just -look- like children," justification). The owners of the site made a decision based on politically altruistic and (IMO) martyr-esque feelings.

I wonder if people will make the connection: that this is -- in miniature -- the reason why things happen in Washington? There are many good men and women in office: what makes them vote for something they are clearly against: The war in Iraq...compromising civil liberties...turning a blind-eye towards immoral or blatently illegal activities?

That's politics, boss!

My personal feelings about the Fur-Affinity debacle (cut to spare those tired of hearing about it or just plain uninterested )
