    To be clear: I did/do not mean to imply you are/were/[ever would be] a nazi simp.

    My point above was to say - publicly pissed pants are petit potatoes compared to a slew of modern issues; public urination is a “first world problem”. Buuuuuuuuuuut, it’s also worth noting my argument can be wholesale dismissed as “whataboutism” if you so desire (if we’re approaching this as a strictly logical syllogism).

    Also, may push back on your original statement a bit? Why do you think OP’s story occurred in a public space? Do you care more or less if say we learned OP was in the artist booth space at a private, adults-only furry convention? We could push further and imagine this occuring at a private watersports convention - but that’s flirting with the ridiculous as in that space OP would have been silly to not have expected that outcome.

    I suppose my question for you is this: If the furry did a controlled leak to freshly wet their pants, with no spillover dripping onto the floor, then went to show their friends what they did for a laugh (the juxtaposition of following the stickers instructions vs the social expectation not to), then proceeded to change into fresh clothes - what’s your objection? Who is being hurt? What’s really ‘not based’ about this obviously juvenile comedic act?

      I called it unbased because of a few presumptions, yes. I did assume this was in public, and that someone had to clean up their mess. If I was incorrect about these things, my opinion would change.

      I don’t care where people pee in private, but I don’t tend to assume conventions are private. Nor do I tend to assume that pissing yourself is gonna be clean, but I guess it’s outside my lived experience so 🤷‍♀️
