What the fuck does "can't use it to fight back" even mean? Expecting a player to just sit there and let himself be beaten is absolutely immersion-breaking. It's beyond stupid.
Even if that wording doesn't actually mean that and I just misinterpreted it, this is still an awful ruling. Something as trivial and basic as calling a ligger that resulting in something as major as a player being "valid" is absurd!

i would say i've dealt with more rule 8 incidents ahelped by felinid players who have been made uncomfortable by others making a pass at them.
That backs one of my points. Felinid players aren't necessarily the problem, but the people who want to keep them around for their own sexual gratification are.
then it seems much more productive and fair to me to punish the people that cause the issue, which we already do. it seems totally unfair to deprive innocent players of something they enjoy for something they're not responsible for.
you are fully entitled to have a personal distaste for felinids because they're cringy anime bullshit that you think is stupid. i'm sure many people would agree with you. but it seems a bit silly to get bent out of shape trying to reinforce that distaste by calling its proponents literal animal fuckers. the sentiment behind this approach seems to ironically be the very thing you're against when it comes to defending your epic lizard word.

That is a good and reasonable point. One that might even be able to persuade me if combined with something nobody's been able and willing to provide me with thus far: a reason why anyone would enjoy playing as a felinid that is not sexual nor derived from a sexual reason.

my only static since i started playing is a pink haired felinid. i'm asexual, so it is absolutely not to elicit a sexual response, because i don't feel that. i do it because i like it. it's cute. there are tropes attached to the species that i enjoy using and undermining in my rp. i like the idea that at first glance my character is the most stereotypical anime bullshit imaginable but then you meet them and they're a professional working woman in their 30s who has a degree and works on a research class space station. she just so happens to eat fish and drink milk and take naps under the radiator where it's warm and get distracted by laser pointers all while taking her job and her career seriously.
it's just a nice way to play a character that i enjoy putting time into. it is a fantastical setting, so it's enjoyable to lean into the fantastical elements and play with them. there is no sinister ulterior motive, and having played on the catgirl hugbox roleplay server for a long time, it's pretty apparent that the case is similar for almost everyone there too. if people really wanted to get horned up over 4 pixels worth of cat ears, then there is no shortage of servers where that's perfectly fine and encouraged. but they're not on those servers, they're playing here where anything more than handholding and blowing someone a kiss gets the admin erp police deployed on you before you can finish saying "dorm 4."

Funnily enough I had a conversation with a maintainer about this in admin channels recently, so I'm just going to quote myself from there
"Sometimes I want the AI to kill me for fun
but I don't want to play a lizard
I'm not in the mood to powergame so no ethereal
plasmamen suck in general
and moths are right out.
and that's what we have felinids for."
Having a "human except not really" species that is specifically exempt from the protections of Asimov while also not really being alien in the way the other (actually alien lul) species is good in my eyes, it makes it much easier to take bog-standard character designs which fit best on boring humans and spice up playing them a little by removing an intentionally powerful gameplay/interaction element locked to humans.
Every Felinid static I have is a felinid explicitly to make it easier to kill them, and while they would otherwise be mostly identical if they did not have cat ears, the fact that robots would not try to kill them quite so often would make me sad.

See? Not all choices need to be for a specific reason, some can be arbitrary. And yes, people find different things cute. It's a big world.
felinids are for sure top 1 nonhuman species just because they are 99% of the time easy on the eyes unless they go out of their way to look obnoxious. seeing moths and lizards walk by is a huge mood debuff

It's a great thing it has died down over the years. I remember mid 2010s there were a lot of "cringe compilation" videos on Youtube (furries were the main target most of the time), but now they aren't as prevalent anymore, or at least don't get the hundreds of thousands of views they used to get. I guess the folks that used to watch them grew up and thought to themselves "Yeah making fun of other people's niche hobbies is just awful, we should stop doing that".
Of course there are still remnants of this culture, this thread being a good example. What's ironic in this case is that they'd get the same treatment they preach for playing a sci fi roleplaying videogame.

anime is also mainstream now, are you gonna pretend that video games are a weird niche hobby next
you’re behind the times
Anime is mainstream, video games are mainstream.
SS13 conversely is a weird niche game. Pretending you're a character wearing cat ears and going nyaa in SS13 is a weird niche thing. People who know about that and don't tease you about it are either similarly weird, being polite, or they simply accept you in the spirit of Mr. Rogers saying he likes you just the way you are.
I'm not saying it's good or bad but your claim it's normal is laughable. It's not. It's a game played by like 5,000 people and wouldn't even have the server capacity to be played by just about any multiple of that amount. That's one of the reasons I like the game and I won't accept your claim that it's normal.
Actually I do believe felinids in general are bad but it has nothing to do with how normal it is.
I never said anything about ss13 being normal, we were talking about the concept of people with cat ears vis a vis whether people generally tend to think that they’re horrid detestable freaks or pretty cute
did you believe they were tg’s original creation?
the concept of a person with a cat’s ears is one that most people will find familiar and generally acceptable, an attitude of immediate revulsion to the concept would be abnormal

In the downtown area of Mexico City sometimes you'll see people in weeb cosplays and no one bats an eye. Wanna know why? Because normal people don't judge others for what they wear.

at most negative they would think “huh weird” and being disgusted would be extremely abnormal

Well I don't recall saying they'd be disgusted.
Sure because that totally isn't what you've been trying to imply:

I'm pretty sure felinid fandom would fail the "would highschool jocks bully me over it" test so hard that it's shocking to me that somebody would claim it's an overwhelmingly mainstream fandom. Maybe make some friends outside of the anime club.

I never said anything about ss13 being normal, we were talking about the concept of people with cat ears vis a vis whether people generally tend to think that they’re horrid detestable freaks or pretty cute
did you believe they were tg’s original creation?
the concept of a person with a cat’s ears is one that most people will find familiar and generally acceptable, an attitude of immediate revulsion to the concept would be abnormal
Alright go walk around in public wearing clip on cat ears then and tell me what kind of looks you get. I anticipate mixed expressions.
In the downtown area of Mexico City sometimes you'll see people in weeb cosplays and no one bats an eye. Wanna know why? Because normal people don't judge others for what they wear.
"Normal" people judge others based on what they wear all the time, that's a ridiculous claim that they don't. Why do you think the fashion industry exists? We don't walk around wearing burlap sacks for outfits.

Yeah adults out in the world are more polite than highschool bullies and probably won't express disgust if they're not into something. Doesn't mean that they think dressing up like an anime cat is normal.

“someone can look cute wearing cat ears” is such an overwhelmingly mainstream opinion that a literal human with funny ears a “mutant abomination” probably makes you the weird one
this is the post you disagreed with
if you no longer think that “damn that’s disgusting” would be the reaction to seeing a person with cat ears then we don’t disagree
normal adults do not have strong opinions about the hats of strangers

That's cool and all but we're talking about a subculture, not an entire mainstream industry. Obviously people have different tastes and may or may not like what you wear, but if a sane person doesn't like what someone wears they won't go around saying: "Man, I fucking hate those weebs wearing their shitty costumes. They shouldn't be allowed to wear those eye sores in public."

Of course wearing a catgirl costume isn't normal, because it's not a common thing to do. However, just because it's unusual to do so doesn't mean it's inherently a bad thing.

being obnoxious about things is the easiest way to get picked on for it and it isnt specific to "felinid fandom" or whatever. Nobody will actively seek you out for something that small and if they do its not because they are athletes lol but that might just be me graduating in 2021 and not having to experience high school in the early 00s or 10s.
Edit: How the hell would highschool jocks even be able to bully you??? Just go to the Athletic Director the athletes are supposed to represent the school and

Just because something is cute, doesn't mean I inherently want to fuck it.

Some people really operate off the "you think 'x' is cute you must want to fuck it" mindset
Did you guys just skip the entire thread page or something? Nobody made that argument. I didn't even imagine someone could think that mutant genetrash is "cute" until Riggle and dendydoom said so.

I went to three different high schools across three different states and never saw this kind of assault.
I always found it ridiculous how various forms of media tried to trivialise literal assault and theft taking place in schools.

Did I really just read something so absolutely ridiculous and so out of touch? What you wear is one of the primary sources of judgement. What people may not do anymore is verbalise that judgement, especially in your presence, but they're certainly judging you for what you wear, consciously or otherwise, in their own heads.

for the record the only people i've seen do the nya thing are doing it to mess with people who have a kneejerk hatred of seeing a felinid. it is funny to mess with people who are that sensitive over it. or to undermine people's expectations when they have such a poor initial opinion of what you're going to be like.
if someone does it unironically then i will be there right with you with my silly little cat ears pushing them into a locker just before math class.

This gave me an idea for a species that would be a thousand times more interesting than felinids. Diogenes' featherless bipeds.
