Yote and fox snuggle time! โค๏ธโค๏ธ Featuring myself and my beautiful wife @SyberWuff

You can dislike someone's kink, art style, or fursona without inventing a criminal accusation to justify disliking them. Jesus Christ itโs been 30 years of the same arguments with no consensus but people like to pretend there is.
Respectfully?
The line *opinions may be subjective and state OPโs likes/dislikes.
This assigns horrific designations to the rest, adding an element of fear if you disagree, lest you be labelled those bad things.
Can we go at people causing the harm, vs art some think is icky?
Imagine advocating evidence-based public safety then dismissing the concerns of professionals responsible for implementing the policy. Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police raised valid questions about workload, priorities and implementation. But those concerns donโt matter?

Step 1: tell Canadians public safety is the priority
Step 2: spend hundreds of millions on a firearms compensation program
Step 3: have police leadership question the operational priority
Step 4: insist questioning the program means opposing public safety
Did I miss a step?

Yet you guys donโt seem to care about police chiefs across Canada telling you the gun grab will not reduce gun related crime. Donโt like to repost their stats because they donโt support your narrative.
But suddenly youโre interested in the info they have here?
Give me a break.

Gotta love the adult fans that reach out with โIโm your biggest fanโ but in reality they know nothing about you, only care about the character, arenโt interested in learning about anything else and get upset that youโre actually a person who does real life things.
Grow up.
People need to be kinder to each other. No one really knows what the other has been through. Always remember that.
Live your life without these things imprinted on your mind. Some of us suffer so you donโt have to. Donโt willingly subject yourself to this.
Iโm guessing a lot of people will watch this live streamed execution.
Youโre risking more than you think. This isnโt a movie.
Iโve seen too many people die, and I can promise you, justice or rule of law will not make it any more palatable.
On bsky as well;
Given positions have held in the fandom, I see quite concerns and assumptions but no one asks me directly.
I am an open book and you may or may not like my answers, but i urge you to ask and go verify.
My opinions rarely vary from my friends here :)

Polyโs misleading narrative explained:
The 80% domestic figure is real but only for a small, biased slice of traceable long guns mostly in RCMP-policed areas (outside major ON/QC cities). It does not prove domestic guns are the โbiggerโ driver of the gun crime that matters most to public safety โ smuggled handguns in urban centres.
Local data from the highest-crime areas shows the total reverse. Presenting the narrow RCMP subset as disproving the smuggling narrative (or as evidence that โdomestic is biggerโ) is classic cherry-picking and selection bias. It supports calls for more restrictions on legal domestic owners while downplaying enforcement against smuggling and illegal markets.
For years, the same voices pushed the same script: The vast majority of crime guns are smuggled across the border, so the only fix is tighter border controls. That narrative was always flawed. New @rcmpgrcpolice data show smuggled guns are a problem. But domestic guns are a bigger one. Both require action. #GunLobbyMyth by @DanforthFSC & #PolySeSouvient via @TheSpec therecord.com/opinion/contriโฆ
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The cited RCMP data excludes traces from Ontario and Quebecโprovinces with their own agenciesโand is not representative nationally; in Ontario, police report 80-90% of crime guns as smuggled from the US. theglobeandmail.com/canada/articleโฆ cbc.ca/news/canada/toโฆ

Gorillaz concert today! I forgot to say while back @SpazzFox surprised me with Mountain Experience Tickets! I am so hyped! Aahhh!
I wonder if one day I will be able to just sit and eat in a restaurant without taking note of exit points, without being uncomfortable if seated where someone can walk up behind me, without having plan a/b/c
Not particularly bothered by it, I just wonder if it ever goes away.
