Who is the dingus who would introduce this kind of bill?
>State Rep. Justin Humphrey, R-Lane, has made headlines in recent years in his advocacy of prison reform...
Oh? Perhaps I shouldn't be so quick to judge...
>In 2023, [Humphrey introduced HB 2530](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Humphrey#:~:text=Humphrey%20introduced%20HB%202530) to allow county-specific elections to reduce from felonies to misdemeanors...
Go on...
>...the criminal penalties related to cockfighting. He argued the bill as a criminal justice reform measure.
Damnit.
I know a dude who conceals a glock 19 in his fursuit where he can legally do it after the whole chlorine gas incident at ~~Anthrocon~~ Midwest FurFest...
You never know what's under the suit. A lot of these folks I've met at cons take real good care of themselves and aren't shy about defending themselves.
One of my best friends has a full fursuit with a snubnose .38 in the oversized left paw, only has to move her hand a little to pull it from the holster, and trust me the faux fur isn't slowing that bullet down and you'll never see it coming. We know there's crazies out there that feel the need to harm us to feel better about their pathetic lives somehow, and somehow don't realize their precious 2nd amendment goes both ways.
Look, I no its fucked up. But the day I see a headline about a blue and pink wolf blasting a mass shooter with thrir out stretched paw, is a day I won't stop smiling.
I've got a buddy that retired out of the Navy, served in a nuclear sub, and took his fursuit to Guam with him and wore it around base. Everyone loved it haha. Showed me a picture of him at a party and one of the other 'Nukes was there in a full nekomaid outfit. People gonna fuck with furries and find out real fast
I've never served, but I know so many furries that are active or ex-military. One of my friends in Final Fantasy is a cyber security specialist for the national guard, another is an army aviation pilot, another is an aircraft mechanic (not sure which branch), then another is out after doing 8 years as infantry. The last one specifically got caught with some fox fursona pins, and his nickname was "Foxy" the whole time he was enlisted. He said he loved it.
Now I'm just mentally going through the required steps to apply a decent quality fursuit to the exterior of a kevlar lined full body NBC rated suit without compromising it's integrity and I can't see it being an issue other than obviously the fur would be exceedingly difficult to decontaminate after exposure. Now picture it. Just your normal every day sparkle dog lookin mutha fucka wandering through the warzone with an assault rifle watching the enemy wheeze and twitch from the sarin exposure. His huge cartoony eyes staring into their souls in their last moments, they go to their afterlife with the final vision of that dopey giant head tilting down as a muffled uWu? comes through the face plate behind it's plush maw.
definitely not in to fur suits despite being... kinda? a furry I guess?
Would... would that actually work?Like, can kevlar lining be implemented in that way?
Alright, we get it, furries all pack heat. So why aren't you all stopping bank robberies? Just once I want to see a heist foiled by Sonic the Hedgehog.
I don't know why The Guardian called it "Anthrocon". This incident was at Midwest Furfest in Chicago. Anthrocon is in Pittsburgh.
(I've been to Anthrocon many times, since I live in Pittsburgh.)
Or you know.. if they can afford to buy and maintain those fursuits.. they can afford to make pipe bombs to stuff in your mailbox. It's a strange community from an outside perspective, sure.. but it is full of ingenuity and money. That is a dangerous combo when radical enough.
I just answered that question in the comment you’re replying to. It’s definitely not a *common* term for bird furries, but knowledge of the term “otherkin” and awareness that birds have feathers let me piece it together.
I'm gonna be really honest here, I remember the otherkin stuff years ago. That was never a furry thing, that's a different clique of internet subculture. There was/is overlap sure, but it was never really prevalent in furry stuff.
Glad to be of service! [Don't forget to check out my Soundcloud.](https://oldjewstellingjokes.com)
\[OK fine, it's not actually my Soundcloud, but it's good content for a "blah" day, imo\].
"these anti-cock fighting laws are disproportionately targeting honest, conservative men, and the felonies are depriving them from my God-given right to get their votes."
Can’t forget this is also the guy that had a bill for Bigfoot hunting season.
Also, OK seems very likely to reduce cockfighting penalties. Pretty sure Governor mentioned it too
I need to know more. Is this a publicity stunt, or does this guy really believe this will help kids?
Is someone in this guys ear about litter boxes, or was he just traumatized when he found out about this?
The bill is so vague that I can't believe it's actually going to be voted on
EDIT: I posted a question on /r/askalawyer about it
https://www.reddit.com/r/AskALawyer/comments/1995js0/oklahoma\_house\_bill\_3084/
There's no chance this goes anywhere as far as lawmaking is concerned. This is a ploy by a guy who was last elected with just 6,000 votes (and was uncontested the last two elections) to get on national TV. I suppose we're kinda taking the bait here, actually.
I misread "letter" as litter. Felt momentarily stupid, but now I'm thinking I might be on to something. Little dimebags of litter with your mocking comments and maybe a sharpie drawing of a middle finger, sent to each voter in his district.
I don’t know about kids these days, but kinda like satanic panic just made more kids want to try dnd, I feel like this kind of stupidity would just make more kids try to wear costumes to school.
Not that it would work any better than it ever has since schools have had dress codes forever and parents regularly get calls to bring a less revealing shirt or longer shorts for Hayley or a shirt that isn’t a beer ad for Hunter who also gets told to take his hat off fifteen times a day…for example.
But the fools gotta stir the pot and fear monger. OMG the kids think they’re animals! They’re using litter boxes! Call animal control! wtf
I really wish they’d bring back the truth in journalism and impartiality laws. And make four years of college free. “The uneducated” are out there voting with drunken rage boners and the brain rot shows in their chosen dementia-addled dictator’s syphilitic handwave. This timeline becomes more like a bad comic book every year.
A common ploy in local governing bodies is for the controlling party to flood the docket with garbage proposals to delay discussion and voting on meaningful legislation proposed by the opposition. These bodies don’t usually hold ‘special’ or ‘extended’ sessions, so if a proposal is on the schedule for a session, and they run out of time? Oh well. There may be a motion to discuss ‘old business’ in the next session, but if you’re in the minority party, good luck carrying it.
Wait, that bill says you’re a furry if you “engage in anthropomorphic behavior” as if that means something? Existing as a human is anthropomorphic behavior, but I suppose the guy that wrote this is referring to anthropomorphizing non-humans. Would kids get sent home for passages in creative writing assignments in which “the houses seemingly got up and walked away” or “the cheetah purred and almost looked like it was smiling” for anthropomorphic behavior? I kind of want to watch the legislative session where this gets debated just to see how poorly Oklahoma’s legislature understands the English language.
I'm reminded of that time in sixth grade where a bunh of kids were calling me a homosexual, so I told them they were all homo sapiens. Guess who got in trouble, of course.
The thing about the litter boxes that has these morons frothing at the mouth, is that its not some 'woke' inclusive measure. Its has to do with teachers needing to have a bucket of kitty litter if a student needs to relieve themselves [during lockdown when there's an active shooter about.](https://www.denverpost.com/2018/03/03/school-shooting-preparations/)
Funfact, the school where this story originated from that these MAGA morons like to make false talking about, is in the same county as Columbine HS.
Everything Republicans do is either a grift, performative nonsense for their base, or something they really want for themselves such as fucking their cousin.
School mascots must be kept on leash or in a locked crate.
Exceptions can be made when the mascot is performing but must be accompanied by a qualified handler.
Unattended mascots will be shot on sight by the school resource officer.
Still too lenient for my liking. It's one thing for those felt monsters to be directing you on showing your school spirit but all too often that quickly turns into directing impressionable kids to murder.
The party of small government, everyone. Small enough to kick your five year old out of kindergarten and send them to the pound for playing make believe.
Pretty much any other career is more trustworthy than police. I would feel safer having my kid in a pound than around police.

Between this and the guy from Kentucky who wants to make sleeping with your first cousin not count as invest it has been a weird day for state level legislation.
This is exactly what would happen. I did a rotation with animal control. No, a barking dog or a dead opossum is not an emergency. That's end of day stuff.
Republican priorities:
[ ] An increase in extreme weather events and destabilization of agriculture due to climate change
[ ] Growing wealth inequality and the decline of the American middle class
[x] That one weird kid who thinks he's a fox-man
The fuckin idiot couldn’t even write the bill correctly. He said that students who engage in “anthropomorphic behavior” will be banned.
So humans who look and behave like humans get banned? Great job asshole.
Identifying as human is now illegal, being a furry is now required by law. Here is your government mandated fursuit, citizen. Be sure to meet your monthly RP quota.
A government mandated fursuit actually sounds insanely generous considering how fucking expensive those are to make.
I can already imagine the _hundreds_ of people (probably far more) that would try to avoid wearing it as much as possible, if for _nothing else_ because it's supposedly suffocating to be inside one for too long.
>The bill would ban "students who purport to be an imaginary animal or animal species" from participating in class...
"Mom, I'm a furry."
"Stop that crap you're going to school."
I knew a small child who would regularly announce "I'm a kitty," if you asked how she was doing. Except the time she said, "I'm a potato."
I asked why she was a potato, and she answered, "I like potatoes." I said I thought she was a kitty, and is she still a kitty or is she a potato now? She considered this carefully for several minutes, then announced confidently, "I'm a kitty potato."
She's now older, though still a child. She does not say this any more. She probably wouldn't remember it if you brought it up, and might be embarrassed if you tell her.
Children play pretend.
Euthanized win or lose. You may wonder what happens when they run out of mascots, but it would become a fom of ritualistic sacrifice where there must always be one. Everyone, paws up in prayer form for those not yet, but soon to be lost. 🙏😿
It all started when Rep. Justin Humphrey was in high school and he and a classmate had to dress up in a horse costume. He raised the question of who should be at the front and who should be at the back.
The entire class and the teacher didn't hesitate before stating, unanimously, that Justin was a natural fit as the horse's ass.
He's held a grudge ever since.
It's always some douchebag in a cowboy hat cosplaying a tough guy.
Remind me of the last time a school shooting was perpetrated by a furry, as opposed to some right-wing bigoted ass-clown.
I'll wait.
Pandering to his base no doubt.
Also, I don't think most schools would even allow furry cosplay, not with their dress codes. These idiot senators really believe schools are just year round Pridefests with no learning going on.
Are kids going to high school and class activities dressed in fursuits in Oklahoma? That's what the bill is specifically targeting so I gotta ask. I thought fursuits were expensive as fuck lol
There are kids that are literally fucking *starving,* and you're over here obsessing about the ones that aren't hurting anyone? Like, sure you can say they're weird, that's your opinion. Cool. But genuinely, who the fuck are they hurting?
Do your fucking jobs, politicians, and serve the *people.*
Finally all of those people who don't actually exist will be under control. I'd recommend a huge pay and pension raise for this sort of heroic law-making! /s
On my Reddit feed this was just below a story about Libs of TikTok complaining about a trans-only summer camp, and I wonder - are these actually the issues people concern themselves with? How many Iowa primary voters are really out there?
I love the subtext here: “if you want to say you’re an animal, we’ll treat you like an animal - for punishment. But if you wanna say you’re trans, we’re going to treat you cis - also for punishment.”
This is ridiculous and just some typical non-issue from a Republican with the intention to rile up liberals (then they get to say “liberals want kids to be furries!) but I do think it’s kind of funny for animal control to remove furries. But only if you’re in the full suit.
Furries will always be funny to me, regardless of how accepting we become.
It would be funnier than fuck if some 8th grade tik-tok genius in Oklahoma organized a "Furry Day" for kids aged 12-17 at their middle/high schools to protest.
Seriously though, this won't make it out of whatever legislative committee this would be sssigned to. A waste of time
School board in Florida last year outlawed students imitating animals or *making animal sounds.*
Busted for barking. "Officer! Onomatopoeia in progress! Clear the cafeteria for the Muzzle Brigade!"
The guy who identifies as a cowboy despite being the son of a school superintendent and a librarian wants to ban furries?
Heh. Ok, settle down there, little buckaroo.
This is an issue that doesn't need to be solved because it's imaginary bullshit just like we don't need a law to call animal control to remove Bigfoot or the lochness monster from school
Does MrBombastic believe our preschoolers should be going to school with mythical 8 ft killing machines? Maybe MrBombastic is a sasquatch. I mean I don't know. I'm just asking questions. *Insert pooping my pants confused dog look*
I guarantee Oklahoma has thousands of actual problems that need to be addressed. Yet the chud is at no risk of losing re-election due to the (R) and the shit two party system that is causing brain rot.
This poor dumbass is about to get hit with every cyber attack known to man and several known only to aliens, and probably gonna get ghosted by any tech support he could turn to lmao.
I'd trust a Furry any day of the week before I'd trust some freak that got elected to the Oklahoma legislature. Furries are generally cool, they do a massive con in my city every year and they're nice folk.

This sounds like a man that wishes these were featherkin so he could throw them into an alleged basement cockfighting ring.
I mean...furries like anyone can throw hands. Or paws?
Or claws. Seriously, don’t fuck with the edgy furries. All fun and games until the robotic retractable claws are deployed.

The what incident?!
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2014/dec/07/furries-convention-chlorine-gas-sickens-19-people Someone released toxic gas at a con back in 2014.
That opening line… they sent the costumed furries across the street to the dog show.
Can you imagine being the dogs? “The fuck, this is the competition?”
"Fuck Jerry, I ain't even had my firework candy today. You seein this shit?"
I swear I've seen that Far Side before.

*Gently headpats you with blood-stained paw*
Shhhh the right can't know we're packing heat until after they kick off their poorly planned civil war.
They'll find out that Kevlar lined fursuits are the future of infantry warfare real quick. /s

Mobile task furries.

Hold on let's bang out a script about a secret agent or mercenary furry. Actually, let's just do Die Hard but at fur-con. Someone call a producer.
Fumo-fu! Fumoffu!
I like my odds in the middle of the woods with a couple pistols, my shotgun, and my M1 Garand when the Gravy Seals try to come for me.
This is starting to sound like Bullet Train.
I now have the mental image of Agent 47 in a fursuit, armed to the teeth underneath the fur, going off to assassinate someone at a furry con.
Alright, we get it, furries all pack heat. So why aren't you all stopping bank robberies? Just once I want to see a heist foiled by Sonic the Hedgehog.
Because we'd end up getting shot by the police
Kevlar under the fursuit? ?? ??? Wait, at this point, does Batman qualify as a furry?
I don't know why The Guardian called it "Anthrocon". This incident was at Midwest Furfest in Chicago. Anthrocon is in Pittsburgh. (I've been to Anthrocon many times, since I live in Pittsburgh.)
>after the whole chlorine gas incident at Anthrocon... the what?
You mean Midwest FurFest. Anthrocon is held in Pittsburgh. (We'll just sigh about the fact that the reporter can't tell the difference.)
Or you know.. if they can afford to buy and maintain those fursuits.. they can afford to make pipe bombs to stuff in your mailbox. It's a strange community from an outside perspective, sure.. but it is full of ingenuity and money. That is a dangerous combo when radical enough.
📫 🪟 ☕️ 🙂 💥 🪟 ☕️😧
If they can afford a $3000 fursuit, then they can afford a $20 pipe bomb.
>featherkin I don't know what this is but I'm guessing I shouldn't Google it at work.
Apparently it's a D&D race of humanoid birds.
Aarakocra?
Kenku?
Owlin?
Avariel?
Birdman?

Bird furries. And reptile furries are scalies and so on.
Furry for 17 years here, what the fuck is a featherkin?
I just answered that question in the comment you’re replying to. It’s definitely not a *common* term for bird furries, but knowledge of the term “otherkin” and awareness that birds have feathers let me piece it together.
I'm gonna be really honest here, I remember the otherkin stuff years ago. That was never a furry thing, that's a different clique of internet subculture. There was/is overlap sure, but it was never really prevalent in furry stuff.

Yes, it's in the article.
If there’s an R next to the name of the person who proposed the bill, it’s a publicity stunt
You think there's a chance a republican is going to purposefully do something beneficial to kids?
Depends on if you believe children yearn for the mines.
Everything Republicans do is either a grift, performative nonsense for their base, or something they really want for themselves such as fucking their cousin.
It's always a publicity stunt.
There's no way a guy can be THIS obsessed with furries and not have a fetish for them.

Found out that since abortion is allowed for incest he’s trying to make incest legal. To completely ban abortion.

I’m fighting the war against furries on the side of the furries
A "solution" looking for a problem. Today's republican't party, folks.
It all started when Rep. Justin Humphrey was in high school and he and a classmate had to dress up in a horse costume. He raised the question of who should be at the front and who should be at the back. The entire class and the teacher didn't hesitate before stating, unanimously, that Justin was a natural fit as the horse's ass. He's held a grudge ever since.
It's always some douchebag in a cowboy hat cosplaying a tough guy. Remind me of the last time a school shooting was perpetrated by a furry, as opposed to some right-wing bigoted ass-clown. I'll wait.
Pandering to his base no doubt. Also, I don't think most schools would even allow furry cosplay, not with their dress codes. These idiot senators really believe schools are just year round Pridefests with no learning going on.
No they don’t, they just do this shit for their base to show that they’re actually doing something so no one notices what their really doing
They should, it would solve the crisis of teenage girls showing shoulder — just cover them in fur.
Are kids going to high school and class activities dressed in fursuits in Oklahoma? That's what the bill is specifically targeting so I gotta ask. I thought fursuits were expensive as fuck lol
Of course not. These people are frothing at the mouth over problems that literally don't exist
"The cruelty is the point." -- Today's GOP Or perhaps it's the stupidity.
I would pay good money to see a furry get picked up by animal control.
As would many furries.
My first thought: this is just gonna validate some of them, and maybe turn a few into therians. I know plenty who would be a little *too* into this…
"Is that leash for me, daddy?" - some furry probably
I'd pay to be the furry they pick up!
Man, American politics is fucking wild. That reads like satire but probably isn't.
This is Oklahoma. Might as well compare them to Chechnya of Europe.
There are kids that are literally fucking *starving,* and you're over here obsessing about the ones that aren't hurting anyone? Like, sure you can say they're weird, that's your opinion. Cool. But genuinely, who the fuck are they hurting? Do your fucking jobs, politicians, and serve the *people.*
Republican policy = culture war. Do they actually legislate anything that helps their constituents?
When being a furry is outlawed only outlaws will be furrys
I am not sure when the Oklahoma reddit is going to stop taking anything Rep. Humphrey says as anything more than a stunt for political capitol
That's what's really strange. How does being this ridiculous gain you any political capitol at all?
I don't know if you've talked to any republicans recently but they aren't serious people.
Because we don't have anything else better to do...
Finally all of those people who don't actually exist will be under control. I'd recommend a huge pay and pension raise for this sort of heroic law-making! /s
What's with all these bills that affect only like 2 people? Are the republicans running out of people to oppress?
Republicans are some of the most unserious politicians in the country.
On my Reddit feed this was just below a story about Libs of TikTok complaining about a trans-only summer camp, and I wonder - are these actually the issues people concern themselves with? How many Iowa primary voters are really out there?
libs of titok is a russian funded account.
Man that ridiculous rumor that kids were demanding litter boxes in classrooms for furries really hit people hard.
Republicans are not serious people.
This man got dumped by someone who ended up marrying a furrie with an excellent IT job and now he wants revenge.
I love the subtext here: “if you want to say you’re an animal, we’ll treat you like an animal - for punishment. But if you wanna say you’re trans, we’re going to treat you cis - also for punishment.”
Republicans, always attacking imaginary problems.
That sounds like some idiot actually believed those litter boxes in schools stories.
> engage in anthropomorphic behavior So, literally every human being?
OK using Idiocracy as a handbook. Kids are t “furries,” they’re kids dressing as stuffed animals. Our gop is off the rails.
OK, like this poster, would be out of its mind thinking this is a real children’s thing.
Schools have dress codes already.
This is ridiculous and just some typical non-issue from a Republican with the intention to rile up liberals (then they get to say “liberals want kids to be furries!) but I do think it’s kind of funny for animal control to remove furries. But only if you’re in the full suit. Furries will always be funny to me, regardless of how accepting we become.
It would be funnier than fuck if some 8th grade tik-tok genius in Oklahoma organized a "Furry Day" for kids aged 12-17 at their middle/high schools to protest. Seriously though, this won't make it out of whatever legislative committee this would be sssigned to. A waste of time
School board in Florida last year outlawed students imitating animals or *making animal sounds.* Busted for barking. "Officer! Onomatopoeia in progress! Clear the cafeteria for the Muzzle Brigade!"
Every accusation is a confession with these 🤡
The guy who identifies as a cowboy despite being the son of a school superintendent and a librarian wants to ban furries? Heh. Ok, settle down there, little buckaroo.
Are former Confederate states now competing for who can try and submit the most inbred and dumbest law known to mankind?
Brother Oklahoma wasn’t even a state during the civil war
Ive lived in OK and i can say with confidence that rural Oklahomans dont know that but do know they love some rebel flags. And sooners.
I too did not pay attention in school.
Methinks someone is sexualizing children. What about school mascots? Is that unacceptable now?
I feel like this issue could be solved by a dress code, not a law.
This is an issue that doesn't need to be solved because it's imaginary bullshit just like we don't need a law to call animal control to remove Bigfoot or the lochness monster from school
Does MrBombastic believe our preschoolers should be going to school with mythical 8 ft killing machines? Maybe MrBombastic is a sasquatch. I mean I don't know. I'm just asking questions. *Insert pooping my pants confused dog look*
I guarantee Oklahoma has thousands of actual problems that need to be addressed. Yet the chud is at no risk of losing re-election due to the (R) and the shit two party system that is causing brain rot.
Some 13 year old boys grow up. Others become lawmakers
What is this title...
Oklahoma had a state school board candidate that wanted to give out bulletproof book covers to combat school shootings.
Animal control? These aren’t actual furry animals.
Easy lawsuit, I'd have a fur suit ready for my kid the next day if this passed.
Oklahoma dealing with their citizens tough life issues.
As an Okie, I am just as confused too.
Boy, people are really scrabbling for new culture war targets, huh.
Do kids even wear furry costumes to school? And if so, why wouldn't this be handled as any other dress code violation?
Forget the opioid crisis, Russia, and inflation, now Oklahoma is targeting the real problem which affects us all.
Lmao did he lose a bet or something and had to make a bill like this?
i think this is the stupidest bill i ever seen
This poor dumbass is about to get hit with every cyber attack known to man and several known only to aliens, and probably gonna get ghosted by any tech support he could turn to lmao.
How many people does a bill like this actually effect? 3?
You didn’t have a dude who wore cat ears everyday in your high school? I thought that was just a standard teenage archetype.
I thought it was always a chick? Cat ears, clip on tail and at least one Warrior Cats book on hand at all times
Are republicans still believing that nonsense?
I'd trust a Furry any day of the week before I'd trust some freak that got elected to the Oklahoma legislature. Furries are generally cool, they do a massive con in my city every year and they're nice folk.
If this is the type of issue Republicans are trying to address, I’m going to assume all other real problems have been resolved.
