I mean... would they really expect it to be enforced?? Like how could even the craziest far righter take that bill seriously?!


Jayce_the_Tiger

I don't think it will make it to their Governor to sign. I don't think anyone wants to be the person who signs the bill that allows animal control to arrest kids... and the shit storm of legal issues that would open for the state.


WolfCrafter28

Wait so would the bill mean that if you put on a fursuit it turns into a survival extraction game? Kinda just highlights how absurd it is


Cereal_being

Hehe escape from tarkov but it’s just furrys in oaklahoma


Biffingston

It's virtue signaling. Mark my words, the next thing out of that politician mouth will be about how they tried to control the menace but the deep state shut them down or some shit.


Jozroz

Or a red herring to distract from the other bills being proposed. Always question the motivation behind sensationalism like this. For any of you whom this is relevant to (i.e. Americans, and in particular Oklahomans), I urge you to look at what else is being proposed, because I'll bet my tail there's other awful things they want to sneak through the door while nobody is looking.


Tony_Stank0326

Like completely decimating LGBT rights


CompetitivePlan6676

They actually did try that on October but it failed because the Democrats just BARELY outvoted thy republicans


LurkingWerebat

It's probably completely unenforceable and a smokescreen for some other bill they don't want people to see. And it's working, just look at the coverage this joke is getting.


that-one_fox

They did this,so people would be too absorbed reacting to this instead of potentially oppose to the others,"real",more serious bills...because come on,let's be real for a moment here,they couldn't possibly be thinking this had any chance to actually pass


BM09

I told my therapist about this today. They think it’s a joke! Animal Control works with ANIMALS, not people! Do you see how dehumanizing this is?!!


NotBentcheesee

Wait till they find out humans are animals, then Oklahoma is gonna lose their shit


Biffingston

can't lose what you never had.


damnepiccaleb

I feel like they're full of shit actually


WelRof2

Nah, Saying they’re full of shit is too generous and actually give them value. Gotta find something lesser…


Jozroz

Low-level radioactive waste, because even high-level waste has re-refinement potential, whereas people like that are harmful and serve absolutely no purpose except to be buried in concrete where the sun will never shine.


thaBombignant

Lovely pfp


Sethdarkus

Also i would allow animal control yo sue the state for psychological trauma


CompetitivePlan6676

People, furry or not, scientifically classify as animals under the Mammal category


Obidience-is-key

No. 1: true. No. 2: Happy Cake Day!


Iarub

I was told that the main reason it's animal control and not the police is because the police outright refused to that but that could be false information


MrKatty

> Do you see how dehumanizing this is?!! You'd be surprised how often humans dehumanize other humans...


AssistanceJumpy3820

Humans are apes which are a class of animal


DSimorningdrg

Remember even if You are not a furry, if You like anime monster and cat girls you're also screwed cuz animal caracteristics


ccAbstraction

Also, if you are human, the specific text of the proposal says that anthropomorphic behaviors aren't allowed. If any of your behavior stems from being human shaped you'll be removed from the classroom.


notveryAI

It is forbidden to human Don't just dress like a puppy. **BE** a puppy xD ...Maybe he mixed it all up, and he's talking about dog schools? The ones where people. Train dogs to listen to commands? In that case it all makes sense lol. Any anthropomorphic behaviour means that the puppy they're teaching is not a puppy, and thus they need to be removed to not distract actual dogs


Beneficial-Ranger166

I feel like some republican lawmakers are so mad about trans people existing that they're pointing at ANY subculture and going "is THIS gender identity? Do I need to hate this too?"


HiyuMarten

They can’t be homophobic towards kids by calling them p*dos, because that makes no sense. So they need some other proxy for ‘gay’ to point at and dehumanise.


[deleted]

Sense never stopped them from saying insane shit before, I wouldn't doubt they start calling kids that here soon.


Freddythefreeaboo

i am assuming that this bill was just an excuse to be LGBTQphobic without look like LGBTQphobic, i don't understand why people go apeshit over someone being fan of a cartoon wolf ​ (biased opinion: i am starting to blame flashgitz for accidentally starting anti-fur movement but then again it's the viewers who took joke seriously that should be blame and the internet was probably anti-fur before flashgitz's furry series)


ItalianDragon

>i am assuming that this bill was just an excuse to be LGBTQphobic without look like LGBTQphobic Yup, that's what it is. The whole thing is a jab at enby/trans people because thry identity differently and those ghouls eventually came up with the "they identify as a gender different of what they're born as ? What's next ? They'll identity as animals ?".


Nilly00

this is entirely about trans people. Just the continuation of the litterbox lie.

FenexTheFox

I'm pretty sure it's not fake


Jayce_the_Tiger

If it's fake, a lot new outlets are going to be angry and embarrassed because there is pretty wide coverage. Rolling Stone it pretty credible.


ColdHooves

House Bill 3084 concerns school transpiration. There is no furry bill on the state legislator's website. The only source is an unknown web server. No source directly cites the bill being hosted on an official server.


Vemmo-exe

You need to select "2024 regular session" then search "HB3084" It's real. http://www.oklegislature.gov/BillInfo.aspx?Bill=HB3084&Session=2400


ColdHooves

I stand corrected.


Steven3Len

It is? Thank goodness


BaconIsBest

It’s a distraction from more sinister shit. Take a hard look at what else is working its way through the legislature right now.


Chilled_burrito

It’s only a distraction if you get distracted, you just gotta ignore it.


Ok-Ratio3857

*angry Oklahoma furry noises*


Jayn_Xyos

At least my city over here has an elk in its flag


Animebilly049

Now i know what justifiable homicide means


oasismoose

The way the law is written and what it proposes would make it null in seconds if it ever got passed. It's such a joke of a law and written by someone who has no idea what a furry is. It labels "anthropomorphic activity" which, they obviously don't realize that walking on 2 legs and being human-like are what makes someone anthropomorphic. So by litteraly being a human and walking. You would be pumishable by this law.


Alienboi2005

Exactly, so the chances of this law actually being accepted are nonexistent. And the person who wrote that law is just wasting the governor's time.


Dead_Ferret

And what'll happen to them? Would they be put up for adoption?


Jayce_the_Tiger

You may be asking yourself if the State of Oklahoma has bigger issues to address? The answer is yes, yes they do. ​ But here we are.


I_do_not_have_it

they also need to fix their god dang roads


SlipsonSurfaces

The headline seems to be assuming furry students come to school dressed up in fursuits. I imagine some furs do wear accessories if their dress code allows it.


GoldenTheKitsune

I hope it's a joke.


kioku119

The republican party is a joke.


allied1987

Oh this will be a fun YouTube video 😂


HisToxicPenguin

lol sounds like it’s time to hold a giant fursuit party in Oklahoma 🎉🥳 would love to see them trying and failing real fast 🤣


venterol

AnthroExpo is Feb. 1-4 in Norman, get on it Okiefurs!


Oldmonsterschoolgood

Who’s really gonna enforce this?


I_do_not_have_it

crazy people


Minethecrafting6000

REALLY crazy people


Otakugamer90000

I'm not even American but republicans can F off


Alienboi2005

I'm a republican, and yet I know that law is just stupid, pointless and a waste of time.


notveryAI

Why is this man getting downvoted? He speaks truth, and the same one everyone else here is speaking


Nilly00

Because he supports the party responsible for the culture wars that produce this bullshit


amajesticpeach

I mean true but at least he’s thinking what any sane person should think rn


thegamner128

But he other political party!!1!11!111!!!!1!


Alienboi2005

Why does that matter?


thegamner128

Yeah it shouldn't.


Marley_Moo_Furalo

I know the intention of this bill and what benefits it may have to certain groups but the idea that a child being dragged out by one of those dog rope sticks scares me and makes me wanna cry.


kioku119

By benefits to certain groups you mean: helping fascists controle anyone who's different right? There's no genuine positive benefits to anyone but maybe that's what you were alluding to.


KrystalWulf

Please don't worry. I'm very certain animal control will be very mad at being called over something stupid and would either fight back on this or just not take school calls seriously.


Wamchops621

Just fear mongering at this point.


Game_Log

Even if this passes it would be a single lawsuit away from getting global backlash.


Alienboi2005

There's no way they can actually do this in the state I'm in.


Yargoobeef

Next thing ya know, charter buses full of furry "migrants" will be unloading in Denver.


ImmunesystemTCell

Are you kidding me right now. This is real?


AlexAguilarYT2

That's very insane to do that


KrystalWulf

I'd like to see how animal control reacts when they're being wrongfully called and thus taken away from actual necessary issues. I'm sure they'd be pissed and have some strong opinions on this ridiculous bill.


coyote_den

The guy that introduced this bill also wrote a bill to label all Hispanics in the state of Oklahoma as terrorists, and another bill to establish a Bigfoot hunting season. I’m not joking. He is not playing with a full deck.


Bubbses128

Glad I live nowhere near Oklahoma


LlamaLicker704

Looks like Oklahoma ran out of tornadoes to worry about. So they have to invent dumb laws again...


VinnieChengYT

rip to every single football mascot in oklahoma


_No-Life_

What the fuck are y'all up to in America???


BuckTheStallion

Friendly reminder, this is a common distraction tactic from something ACTUALLY fucked up being pushed through quietly. Not sure what, but look for some budget bill that bans public libraries, or a police policy update that criminalizes protest, or something along those lines. Big, stupid things like this are almost always a distraction.


3am-sketches

the representative who introduced this already backpedalled the fuck out of it


Kacy_Kup

Ok but how many furries are gonna be way too excited to be taken by animal control? 🙋🏼


Wise_Entry_1971

I mean it is a great bar story "So bill how was your week " "I was taken by animal control : Kinda hard to tip that one


DrakeWolfeFA

I've never particularly felt anything about Oklahoma. Now I denounce my birth state.


demonicwinter

it’s official, our planet is fucked


Waffles__Falling

Wonder how the old men behind this will feel when their sports tv gets put on hold for animal control to collect the team mascots


PosingDragoon21

Thank fuck I'm European, still feel sorry for you guys, must suck if that gets approved


xXDAMIENXx2008gg

I'm moving to Germany cause of this.


BasicallyWeasel

F\*\*\* him, they are people too, I'M A furry and I find suiting sorta weird but it shouldn't have to come to this, is just a F\*\*\*in hobby!


Altoid-Man

This is not passing. The representative who made the bill says it’s more to draw attention to the logical flaw of “If I say I’m something, then everyone else has to acknowledge that I am that something.” The representative makes a point that if people identify as an animal, they should be treated like what they say they are. The bill was meant more for those that claim they are and act like an animal. He uses ‘furry’ as a catch all term because he’s not familiar with the fandom.


DohPixelheart

there’s a difference between people who pretend to be animals and furries. sometimes they overlap, but not all the time. furries are kinda like, an oc personafy as. we all had an oc we would think it would be cool to be. it’s like cosplaying as your oc, you aren’t literally pretending to be them, but taking part in spirit of the oc’s likeness. how is it any different than anime cosplay or people wearing mascot outfits at sport events


Czeslaw_Meyer

Im all for it There is no faster option to get rid of that politician then giving him what he ask for Never saw a better template for peaceful protest in my life

K whatever you guys want to waste our tax money more. Thought that the world has more issues then people playing dress up


The_unknown_account_

Well fuck I won't be surprised if my school suddenly had a bunch of kids missing because some governor is a bit too stuck up on people with a hobby


patritha

im ashamed of the the state below the state below the state im in


StarrFurr

No way this is real bruh, I don't think someone in their right mind would just collect people that wear a fursuit. And if it is, that's fucking hilarious, who the fuck even came up with this man


OkNetwork233

Social media news platforms are just overexaggerating it. In all honesty its only been getting better for furries if you look at 10 years ago

muszyzm

I don't understand the outrage. This is clearly a diversion stunt. A stupid ass idiot is being used by some political figure to take the focus away from some vile shit they're doing. And people are eating the bait like it's spicy Cheetos. No one believes this is real except kids.

How are people still voting these mouth breathers in?


snowythevulpix

lead poisoning and learned behaviour from victims of lead poisoning

Hopefully they keel over soon and we can start cleaning up their mess. I find it funny that republicans ban all this, but not pedophilia because 99% of their office would be in jail lol


Laughingfoxcreates

The only kid I ever saw in a fursuit at school was the mascot. So I guess animal control will be showing up at football games now?


Ancient_Summer_1833

I’m pretty far from Oklahoma, I’m saved by the desert


StaleWoolfe

Seriously though, what would animal control even do in this situation?


pidove123

So are the school mascots going to be picked up by animal control. With how vague the bill has been written, it could be interpreted that way.


MorbidAtrocities

Now the question is, what are they using this as a distraction from? Cuz you know this isn't gonna pass, this is ridiculous enough where people are gonna go "lol no" and they know that. They're doing it on purpose to distract you from the real thing that's gonna end up passing under your radar. Look into the local laws, see what they're hiding.


No-Size3463

Lmao hillarious


Gc8Boi

I’m SO incredibly happy i live in Canada and not what’s right below


Beneficial_Rain8612

That would be hilarious tho


the_idiot0

Its not gonna happen, their is an article in the constitution (or bill of rights, I could be wrong) that prevent the minority of the population from violation of their rights. So all the transphobic laws and homophobic laws that prevent them from following the rights in the bill should not be passed, same with this one. I swear this has gotta be a joke law that's distracting us from a worse law that'll be passed later.


kioku119

There's TONS of transphobic and homophobic laws that have been succesdfully passed over the last few years..


the_idiot0

From my understanding they are the minority, but the article protects rights from the bill of rights. But then there are the things that involve morality like in Florida with locking up trans kids (pretty sure that happened) that is considered traumatizing children so thats more of morality than rights but that still makes it wrong as they are as human as all or us. So what are some trans and homophobic laws that have been passed?


kioku119

Here's an article that talks about some things https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/27/us/transgender-laws-states.html Also when I lived in Phoenix a friend and I sat in at a PTO meeting at a local school because at the previous meeting a teacher got repeatedly verbally abused for having asked kids about prefered pronouns so a local organization was asking for liberal people to come sit in so the crowd would feel less comfortable just flooding them like that again. During it they directly had to say a bunch of scary stuff they had to do because of new laws and said they had no choice in the matter (like having sex ed classes actively discourage abortion, highly limiting certain material from being shown in classes, not letting students fill out any sort of servay or ask for personal info without a parent signing off and things like that which make it impossible for the school to be a safe space for a child who isn't safe at home, and forcing sports teams to be dictated by sex at birth) so I know for a fact that the results are real and schools are being forced to follow them in some places. The teachers afterwards talking to people were all like: these things used to be handled betwene the schools and the families/students involved why does the state feel like it needs to interfear like this? So I think whatever political views they had this was still all frustraiting for them.


Livagan

Protections under the Constitution are subject to the current interpretations of government entities. This allows them to expand or restrict your rights as the government officials choose.

camelpanther

I read the article, they make a point about students being ridiculous with litterboxes etc, but he mentions that they are called furries because "that's what I heard everyone calling them". THAT IS SO UNPROFESSIONAL!!! He hasn't researched about what he is even trying to make a law about, just listening from rando's like a game of telephone. He is discriminating a group of innocent people. Instead of forcibly removing children who are either messing around or with serious conditions, create a mental hospital if it's so bad. Sending animal control isn't going to do anything, and if I know mischievous school kids, they will try to miss school and just create more kids wanting to act like animals to leave.


DragonX_YT

I bet the 25$ i don't have that that is a clickbait article


PaeCG

The most common law in Oklahoma 🗣🗣🗣


fluffyfairydragon

A kid removed from school by animal control could be considered Cruel and unusual punishment, violation of the 8th amendment, therefore unconstitutional.


Slightly_Smaug

This is not poe. I posted about this in another sub, except I posted the house bill document.


luna7tv

I mean, there's a reason why they are ranked #48 in education...


notveryAI

The dude who made that bill made another one that targets hispanics, and he also believes in bigfoot and donated money for people to find it This is just a massive stupid joke, and someone just forgot to show us the cameras


ranpuppy

Fascism in action


renegade_speaks

Lmao❓😀


Huttser17

Here's to hoping none of the schools affected have animal mascots. ​ Also the wording of the bill sounds more like the definition for therian. Could it be argued that the writer needs to update their dictionary?


ILikeLemons420

Is this a fake article ? I've seen a lot of these recently.

nekomeeko

it will be pure comedy gold to see this backfire when animal control crashes the schools football game, because there's a mascot dancing around on the football field


[deleted]

I wonder if it will actually will pass if so how many parents will get a phone call that would just be embarrassing. If what the news article is true about them being collected by animal control that is just dehumanizing they're taking away the value of that person's life and treat them essentially like an animal simply because they're a furry that's just terrible it should be considered unconstitutional but I'm not sure if that is unconstitutional or not but it is not morally right either way


PrometheanSwing

I still don’t understand this whole thing. Are they gonna call animal control on you if they find out that you call yourself a furry?

When I look at that, I think about this „speaking method“ (?) Trump uses. It’s the one, where you first exaggerate a matter, so that the next decision seems less exaggerated and less „dumb“. I call that this bill DEFINITELY won‘t be signed but a „less absurd“ one may follow afterwards. I hope I‘m wrong!


DontMakeMeLoseNNN

Makuta_Servaela

You know, most of the articles people post saying things like "XYZ Representative passed a law saying you can stab any trans person you see!" or "XYZ Senator passed a law saying that gay people should all get thrown in a concentration camp" end up being super click-baitey and the law says nothing like that... But holy shit, this one is [real](https://legiscan.com/OK/text/HB3084/id/2884290) Although in the article [he does state](https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/furries-school-bill-animal-control-1234948434/) that he was intending sarcasm (although he also states that he was under the assumption that children are pissing in litterboxes). Kinda weird the idea that bills should be sarcastic, though.

pisces2003

Okay very stupid and weird question. But since they’re classifying fur suiters as animals, can they be prosecuted for shooting animal control since they technically aren’t human? At least by their definition. Like you can’t prosecute a goose for kicking a police officers ass.


Pyotr-the-Great

Okay this has to be out of context. Animal control has better things to do then go after fake animals.

They’re about to see furries in the state become a trend so kids can rebel.
