Problems In Furry Land
This is from the not-very-secret pop-up easter egg tooltip text associated with a recent xkcd comic:
There’s Livejournal drama between those who want to wear human suits over fursuits and those who just take off the fursuits.
What’s notable about this asserted fact is that:
1) I believe it, absolutely, despite having made zero effort to Google it or confirm it in any other way;
2) The fact of my belief says something profound and interesting about the way we process information and establish our trust heuristics in the internet “information overload” era.

the way I see it is the comic was poking fun at furries, and the tool tip was poking fun at the type of people that still use livejournal (by making a direct connection between them and furries), I don’t think they really exist (fursonas that like being human)
…eh, livejournal is passé? Thank gosh I still have my facebook page.
I read it and wanted to believe it. I like the idea of impassioned furries typing away furiously.
I chose the “believe throwaway comment on xkcd” option because verifying the information either way would not enrich my life.
