Just because I put blue paint all over this green car and cover up all the green, that doesn't make it blue. I know it looks like it's blue but it's really green so don't call it blue.
That is kind of a bad metaphor.
I mean, I understand what you're talking about, and I sympathize, but a green car painted blue is blue. Unless the paint job is so bad that you can tell that it was originally supposed to be green.
Duhh but that is why it is a good metaphor not a bad one.
No, a green car painted blue is green. The paint is blue. The car beneath is green. We see the blue paint but not the green car. Unless you change the metal beneath the paint so that it absorbs green light instead of reflecting it, the metal outside of the car itself is green.
If you change the metal itself, the metal beneath the paint, so that it reflects blue light and absorbs green and red, then it will be a blue car.
This is the same way that when I put on an orange shirt, my arms do not become orange. My arms are the same color, but are not seen.
likewise illustrations are colored ink on white paper. The paper itself is not gold and violet, with bits of red. The ink on the paper is.
So, you can make a green car into a blue car; but not by covering it with paint. You have to make a change in the metal itself.
This could be interpreted to mean a thing that is really flawed (that the color of the car doesn't come from its paint) but I will interpret it to mean that the metal of the car is the same, no matter its paint color, which is quite correct. :D
i still do like fedoras (despite not wearing one because i'm told they have douchebaggy connotations)
They are only douchebag couture if you are wearing informal clothing with one. Formal, stylish colthing, particulary suits and classy blazers, are perfectly acceptable fedora accompaniment. It is also worth noting that women and reasonably androgynous individuals can get away with "misusing' fedoras in a way that the vast majority of straight-presenting men cannot.
I honestly don't have any problem with furry porn, or really any part of the furry subculture that doesn't have to do with otherkin or fictives. And even then the biggest reason I have a problem with it is because I'm exposed to it constantly and through this one friend I have a window into how there's an entire group of people on Tumblr who have it as their pet issue and have basically no interest in social justice otherwise.
I don't want to beat a dead horse any further.
Before any of you balk at my last comment in the HEY IMI (NSFW) thread, this is what I was going to post before it got put in NSFW.

That's perfectly fair.
I never thought that you had any real issue with furries, to be honest; I was just joking around somewhat for the sake of shock value.
I was actually accurately describing something that I noticed myself doing awhile ago that I found funny when taken out of context, so I made a joke about it.

So I had a weird dream earlier in which I tried to go to some kind of school but decided I wanted to do so as a princess, so I turned into a princess as I walked in the door
In the elevator there were people passing out campaign materials for the upcoming election and I fell down and couldn't get up without help or magic because my shoes were too big
Then I got to class and our real professor never showed up, just a substitute who cooked Thanksgiving dinner instead of teaching math

That's perfectly fair.
