You guys are so quick to assume. DragnMastrAlex may have voted yes. I can agree with someone firing a furry if them being furry interferes with their job or performance... Not their social lives like in this case. That doesn't make me a furry hater, though, does it? That's the same as if someone was a D&D nerd. If I fired a D&D nerd because them being a D&D nerd affected their performance for the worst, would that make me prejudiced? I think not. That's just me cutting off dead weight so that my business doesn't lose money.

i agree with this, un-interfering business is ok, but dont let your social grouping interfere with your work under any circumstance, that goes for everyone part in any kind of social group

From what I understand, being a furry wasn't interfering with Dokota's job, so no, I don't it was right for Dokota to get fired. But I agree about the fur-hater part.  :twitch: :umm:
I didn't say it did; I agreed that in this case that it wasn't right. DragnMastrAlex may have voted before getting all the facts. I don't think we have a fur hater here.

I haven't voted yet, but it's kinda hard to mention to say anything besides "only if it interferes with the job would it be feasible to fire upon social life judgement"...

I didn't vote yes.
I ask questions about the firing but thats all.
I mean its very likely that he isn't a furry hater but misunderstood moron.

See most people see furrys as beastiality and think its people having sex with animals.
They are ignorant and think that it has something to do with the occult and satanism.

Thus your boss may have thought this and was trying to get rid of you because he thought you where a threat to the workplace.

Its our responsibility as furry's to educate people as to what a furry is and that it is in no way satanism or is it having sex with the family dog.

My bad for assuming, but I didn't want people to bash anyone.

Erm I can relate to that already happened to me when I was working at superstore I figured out from one of the higher ups the manager was going to fire me because he did not wish me to have such interests so simply I quit before the jerk could fire me simply put so no it is not right unless it directly interferes with your work performance.
My dear there is no danger
Can't you see they turn blind eyes
To we swift and spotlight strangers?
Oh before the rush is over
We will be revered again
While the victims still recover
Oh,
Are we running toward death?
I have met him times before
He adores us like the rest
Oh even if we're discovered
Just be sure to wear your best
We will surely make the covers


I am a Hermaphrodite and proud of it!

We are all morons trying not to look stupid in public.

That is all very true and reflects part of the true nature of humanity...
The farewell was premature. My definite stay is not definite. The constants are variable. The greeting was too late.
