They're being satirical. People usually berate my posts because I have cartoon characters for Socratic exchanges to teach people things like Kubernetes, claiming that is "unprofessional" or something. These people are sarcastically berating my post for NOT using that Socratic system.
IMO GGP wasn't being sarcastic, but GP maybe was. Anyway I keep my thought: if a workplace, especially if in Tech or Tech-adjacent, sees furries as NSFW, it's a very boring workplace and I would run away from it at the first possibility.
No No No, I genuinely love both your Socratic exchanges and the furries characters that illustrate them. (although this is article is firmly Aristophanes, again, top notch work)
I don't hold with the "I'm not going to open a link on HN from Xe at work" bollocks, because I know its going to be a gem, moreover, I'm not a fucking prude.
If one can, at work, open the daily mail, "listen" to music videos, or read celeb gossip sites at work, then you can 100% look at computer using anthropomorphic animals.
Plus ever since I read your article about abusing S3 into a message queue, I've started using 18th century engravings of gargoyles, statues and classic sculpture to aid my presentations.
In summary, I love you work, I wish you to continue making it, and please don't take my comment as sarcastic. As I said before many months ago, this is what the internet was designed for, long may it continue.
Being a furry is and always has been a sex thing for the majority of the fandom. Some furries will vehemently deny this but we have receipts going all the way back to the 1970’s: https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Vootie
Anime is not inherently sexual as a medium but has a well-deserved reputation for being associated with creeps and perverts.
No I'm not. I expected that there is some furry or anime girl visible when i click on that link. This is the stuff i do not want to have on my screen when there are coworkers nearby.
I also used to think I had this issue when reading your blogs at work. Turns out, nobody really cares and if they do, a quick explanation suffices entirely. I no longer care as well.
Your imagery is part of who you are as a writer, and it's part of your work. People need to take it or leave it.
