That’s what I do! I tell my partner he’s a good pupper. I tell my dog he’s a tiny asshole. Both are true.
Partner’s allowed to use any terms of endearment that would apply to our dog without them being read as gendered, on the theory that brain wires get crossed and I’m happy to be in the same love-nickname-category as the pup.
I solve this issue by being a furry, cause now I can say “am I a good pup?” :3c
But aren’t you a bat? :o
Technically a bat/bunny :3
Anyhow, if you can call a good dog by it’s baby name (puppy) you can also do it to a bat :3
Aw cute, and good point!
Not the point, but I like that lemmy is such a small community that one random commentor knows the fursona of another random commentor
In mean, it’s in the name

To be fair, as long as you have :3 they’re good.
“Am I a good person? :3”
That last one sounds very “I’m terrified I’m a bad person and need reassurance but also need to try to lighten it”
that completely changes the vibe :3
i’m gonna use that from now :-D
:3 saves existential minds :3
