A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be nice

Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

Wait is it the lack of MLP that delays Linux or is it the only being delayed up to a month because of the lack of mlp

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

I took it as bronies and furries work together on Linux distros, so you’re missing half the team, not the full team.

But most bronies I know are getting into the furry fandom, myself included.

Its weird seeing a meme and knowing several people in it.

"People who are different to me deserve to die"

A comment that really stuck with me was when someone said "How people treat furries is a great way of finding out what kind of person they really are."

Furries harm no one. In fact, they bring a lot of joy to a lot of people. At Toronto Pride the furries are one of the highlights of the parade. Kids absolutely love them; all these fun people in their animal costumes just out having a great time.

But it's considered socially acceptable to mock them. Even among self-proclaimed leftists. And that tells you that those people would mock you too, for being queer, or black, or trans, if not for the fact that they had built an identity for themselves around being "the good guy."

Find out how someone feels about furries, and you'll very quickly learn who are the performative progressives, and who are the real ones.

I find homeless people to be a better barometer. There's nothing cute about the guy living in a tent that smells like piss. But nine times out of ten it ain't their fault. Most homeless people were/are fully employed and just stopped being able to pay rent because of the price increases, wage stagnation, medical bills, etc. Then, once they're homeless there's little to no public facilities for them.

Yet you find some of the most committed liberals saying we need to "just get rid of them". Yup, fall out of capitalist society and suddenly the final solution is okay with those liberals.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

At the same time there were a lot of homeless charities do actually tell you that it's better to donate to the charity than is to the homeless person. Because they will just spend the money (obviously) whereas the charity can actually enforce change they can make use of the money in ways that will help more than just one person.

Of course the real thing to do would be to get into politics and actually affect political change but that's difficult because politics has momentum like everything else and it's difficult to get it to radically change stuff quickly.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

You have to be careful of charities that say they're forcing the person to change for their own good. Often they do more harm than good. It is true though that soup kitchen charities can stretch a dollar further.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

A lot of people who claim to be leftists or progressives are literally exactly the same as the outspoken, radical racists and bigots.

In that they both are utterly disconnected from reality, they both are attaching to a "side" because of a sense of moral superiority and community belonging. They both ridicule and ostracize people who are different. They all have the same desire to connect with a storyline or narrative, they just have chosen different characters to follow, a different side of the WWE Wrestlemania arena. But it's still all Wrestlemania theater. The fundamental emotional engagement is the exact same thing, minus the red hats.

This isn't to say "both sides bad durrr durr blah blah fart fart" because we absolutely have to spread progressive ideas and advocate for personal freedoms and rights and protections, but we have to be a lot less hung-up on weird purity-testing culture, on trying to make everyone fit your own image of what a "perfect citizen" should look like. You have, have, HAVE to start learning to be around people who are not only different, but you may not agree with. This is profoundly hard for the left and right, but I am challenging the left to be fucking better about being kind and understanding of others.

I think it’s more the strangers with candy scenario. Even toddlers go through a phase of stranger danger. It’s human nature to some extent.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago (2 children)

We might have seen the same comment, because a similar sentiment has stuck with me. I've found it very useful for self reflection because I am not a furry and I don't understand furries. My instincts tell me to be weirded out and judgemental of furries because I don't get it. I then consciously work to override that instinct because it's silly and it's actually much easier to not be an asshole about things. I am glad for anyone who has a hobby and a community that brings them joy and fulfillment.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Being attracted to anthropomorphized whatevers isn't even all that odd. I mean, have you ever played an RPG and romanced a non-human character? If you think Karlach or Garrus are hot, then what's the problem with thinking Lola Bunny or The Beast is hot? I don't really get the fursonas or the suits, but I also don't get the appeal of mashed potatoes, so...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

The way that I make sense of fursonas and fursuits is to just reflect on the various silly things I have done as part of my hobbies. I made a chainmail skirt/dress for a party a while back. It took many many hours and the result is great, but I mostly did it because I like having a project to work on, and the event I was making it for was a great opportunity for people to tell me about how awesome the new thing I made was.

I'm also friends with a bunch of LARPers (Live Action Roleplaying, for anyone who doesn't know — like Dungeons and Dragons, but with more hitting people with foam swords in fields). I'm not really into LARP myself, but I've been to a few because it's really cool when you know enough people that you feel a part of a community. A couple of times, I wasn't even playing, but helping out as crew, which meant putting up tents, ensuring everyone got food, helping put secrets into envelopes. LARP is one of those hobbies which is like, objectively weird (I say this with affection), but having existed in that sphere, the reason why most people do stuff is because they want to make cool shit that other people will appreciate, and they want an excuse to hang out with friends for a weekend in a field or a ballroom.

A lot of people who identify as furry have a romantic/sexual fantasy world that is so far removed from reality that rarely are humans even involved in their stories and roleplay and artwork. They aren't out lusting after animals (mostly), they are imagining a world where sapient beings, are free and open with each other and not bound up in human hangups and prejudices and it's honestly quite nice, I seriously wish all the major fan-fantasy subcultures had a central theme of diversity and love that reaches beyond any physical form.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think that furry sex stuff can seem very queer in this way. To clarify what I mean, as well as being the Q in LGBTQ+, I'm also invoking queer as in queer theory. For example, prominent queer theorist Eve Sedgwick says that queer can mean "the open mesh of possibilities, gaps…and excesses of meaning when the constituent elements of anyone’s gender, of anyone’s sexuality aren't made (or can't be made) to signify monolithically". Another less verbose definition, from Michael Warner (who I'm not familiar with, pulling these words from Wikipedia): "Queer gets a critical edge by defining itself against the normal rather than the heterosexual." (Source: Wikipedia article for "Queering")

The way that I think of this is that I'm bisexual because I'm attracted to both people of my gender and not of my gender. I'm queer because as a chronic punk, I relish the chance to leverage my bisexuality to challenge societal norms and assumptions — I got a hell of a lot cooler once I pushed myself out of the closet because it was fear around fitting into moulds that was driving a lot of my internalised homophobia. That's my personal take on the distinction between gay/bi and queer. Personally, I don't necessarily think one has to be LGBT+ to be queer, but that's a somewhat contentious opinion.

This isn't to say that all furries are queer, though I'm sure some people would argue that. Just that I think I think a lot of furry culture makes more sense if you're familiar with queer theory and queer culture.

This is all a long winded way of saying that there's a sense in which furries are punk as fuck, and coming from someone like me, that's an indication of respect

OwO what’s this? Nuzzles radar array—how's your signal strength, over? Your engines are emitting some serious warmth. 🛩️ *Scans fuel intake* 🛢️ A bulge? Roger that, ground control. Someone's happy in the hangar today. 😎 Nuzzles your sleek fuselage, purring like a Pratt & Whitney engine. ⚙️ *Cleaning the cockpit glass* You're so big, radar signature is off the charts! Rubs your aerodynamic curves—it's like your airframe doesn't know when to quit. 🎯 *Locks on target* Kisses you, then licks your necky—mommy likies, indeed. I hope the chief engineer approves of my maneuvers. *Flight control override engaged* I've got an itch, ground crew. A seven-meter itch, to be precise. Can you assist? Squirms and wags my wings. 🛬 *Emergency descent protocol* Permission to be punished, sir? Runs my ailerons down your fuselage, bites my lip—this is gonna be one wild barrel roll. 🔄 *Full afterburner* Paws on your bulge, eyes glowing like HUD displays. I'm thirsty, and it's not for aviation fuel. *Unbuttons your pants, licks the shaft* Mmmm, oily goodness. Drools all over your daddy meat. Fondles Mr. Fuzzy—yes, I love the joystick. 🕹️ *Inhales deeply* Oh, God—punish me, daddy! Nyea~ Squirms and wiggles, loving your oily essence. Bites my lip again. *Engaging vertical climb* Please, punish me. Licks my lips, savoring your goodness. Eyes roll back as you go deep - give me your G-force! *Supersonic moans* Suckles your control stick, oscillating wildly. 🥵

Sentient airplanes are such adorable creatures

Why

[–] [email protected] 27 points 5 months ago (1 children)

A+ on the imagery alone, but through all the sexual metaphors I wasn't able to tell who the actual characters were in this story...? Is it a plane and another plane?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yes it is. This is porn for airplanekin. You can find a surprising amount of it online.

This is precisely why North Korean is working on an anti-furry bioweapon. They must be stopped.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So north korea is trying to set us back to the 1970?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It would level the playing field.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Mate its gonna have SEVERE impact on our worldwide IT department there would be server outages and software expliots eveywhere

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

It's a joke about North Korea being stuck at a 1970's tech level. I don't want it to happen.
