BuzzFeed mistaking simulated sex for actual sex

The title of the BuzzFeed article quoted seems relatively straightforward as a reference. However, it appears to be a misinterpretation of what happened - a local newspaper hews more closely to the facts, quoting "inappropriate behaviour" and a Fox news report notes (around 1:55), that what was actually alleged was "simulated sex". This seems far more realistic, as it is something I have seen myself at furry events.

(In the end no evidence was provided to substantiate the specific claims made, but as mentioned in comments there volunteers were ultimately banned from using equipment and an agreement went unsigned.) GreenReaper (talk) 08:27, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why not put that in the article?CycoMa (talk) 14:48, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fine with doing that, if people agree with it. I wanted to explain it in more detail here because a) it required a bit more space than provided in an edit summary, and b) I was curious to see if there were any obvious problems with doing so first.

GreenReaper I don’t see anyone opposing it’s inclusion. About you just put it in and me and other users tweak it a bit.CycoMa (talk) 03:24, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@GreenReaper: are you still up for putting in what you wanted to add to this article?CycoMa (talk) 03:58, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The way the incident is currently described sounds odd in-article. If we don't use the word "yiffing", it would seem it barely belongs in the article at all, in my opinion. Unless we're describing how a mainstream news outlet used yiffing in a headline, it doesn't seem like a necessary addition, but I'm hardly the arbiter of its removal.

Should we flag this for deletion?

There is already an article defining yiff on Wiktionary and any other information can already be gained from other articles like Furry Fandom (ex. the history and derogatory usage) I don't understand the necessity for this article. SharkFinnedGirl (talk) 19:52, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It exists because sources exist, and the Furry Fandom article is a general overview, not an exhaustive rundown of every phenomenon in the subculture. In any case merging would be the appropriate route per WP:BEFORE, and would probably be rejected as WP:COATRACKing. Dronebogus (talk) 01:58, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm actually going to cry; please do. Ceruleanix (talk) 22:18, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Image request

Can you please remove the image? It is not appropriate and pornography images should not be shown on wikipedia. Procidic (talk) 19:01, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:DISC: Wikipedia contains many different images and videos ... some articles contain graphic depictions of violence, human anatomy, or sexual acts. and MOS:OMIMG. If there is an alternative image that contributes to or supports the content of the article better than the current one, you are free to replace it with that image. However, images broadly are not removed on the grounds of sexual nature alone where it is not gratuitous. ArkHyena (talk) 01:15, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
