If you can show me Roman furry artwork (for a friend who really wants to see it, of course), I’ll withdraw my whole line of comments.

I’m speaking in historical terms here. By new I mean within the past couple of decades.
Certainly not the majority, but being “mainstream” doesn’t require a majority.
If Sync brings more users to Lemmy, that’s a net win for all of us here.
Let’s be honest here. Wanting to be a talking animal isn’t really any less weird than wanting to yiff one.
Trying to distance yourself from the latter by claiming the former is a futile effort.
Sure there’ve been talking animals since humans have been telling stories, but what seems to be new is the rando who’s always there in the comments to say “Yo, I’d totally tap Tigger’s ass”, “That Coyote character is a snack.”
The problem is where the mainstream lies. In Islam, the mainstream is fundamentalism. Of course, fundamentalism is a problem for Christianity and every other religion too, but right now that is not the mainstream of those sects. And that is why Islam gets criticized more heavily than other religions.
Fundamentalism is cancerous wherever it lives.
Amen to that. Monoculture is bad, in every context.
The Vulcans have it right: Infinite diversity in infinite combinations.
I definitely notice it with a push mower, but there’s also the issue of the grass blades themselves always being cut in one direction. That’ll produce a noticable effect over time if you don’t vary mowing vector.
But you have to alternate the pattern each time you mow or you’ll get wheel ruts.
Except it just goes in a circle.
