Yeah, Fox! Can you imagine holding something so ridiculous against Fido?

Okay, but what about a certain green dog?
Perhaps the answer involves closets?Jakkal wrote:To be honest I have trouble getting Fox's reaction. Why is he so embarrassed by it?
while i can't speak for real life, as i tend to avoid people who demonstrate biases like those, in fiction theres a semi-frequent bit of a trope of "character X acts in manner Y toards group Z due to either self-loathing over secretly being one of them, or overdoing his/her attempts at 'acting normal', and sub plot C is about them coming to terms with that and changing their ways."NoSoyFurry wrote:Well depends on what the "speciesphobia" references in real life (Homo-/xeno- phobia or racism)
But I'd say being any one of those doesn't necessarily make you a closet "cat-lover", if anything that'd be the exception.
Yeah, those cases do exist, but most of the time people fear/hate what they don't know and cannot understand. Or just want to feel superior.NoSoyFurry wrote:Well depends on what the "speciesphobia" references in real life (Homo-/xeno- phobia or racism)

Might it be a touch of jealousy? Maybe Fox found himself attracted to our fair Sabrina, despite her feline statis.Obbl wrote:[ Sticks And Bones ]

Yes, yes it was. Here is the evidenceNathanielKing wrote:I knew from the first time he appeared that Mungo would be my new favorite character! XD
EDIT:
My memory is fuzzy and I'm too lazy to look things up, but wasn't Fox always a close friend to Fido and quite shocked when the things with the cat-loving came out and kinda hurt because Fido had kept it secret even from him, making the whole scene just a typical one for big clumsy Mungo crashing right onto a sore nerve of Fox? :3
Mistacheeeez wrote:This whole thing about how Fox still doesn't like the idea of cats and dogs being together makes me wonder if Rick might have a master plan of making Fox fall in love with a cat as a giant story twist! And Rick is alluding back to Fox's aggravation so that we remember what he has against it so that it'll become even more of a shocker when it actually happens!!!
Nah, there's another dog that needs to show his true feelings for cats first. Then Fox can feel free to show his true feelings for cats as well.valerio wrote:Perhaps Foxie-bon is a repressed cat-lover.
Wouldn't it be funny if he got a crush for Grape, back when she saved his tail?![]()
There is also another category of people who don't like group x because a person from that group betrayed them or hurt them deeply. That seems to be what Fox is experiencing (combined with being against it from the beginning for X reason). One of his best friends - someone who stood for one of his ideals - suddenly turned out to have been lying to him / keeping something important from him the whole time. Why should you remain friends with someone you can't trust, or who obviously can't trust you? Why should you be friends with that person, on top of the fact that they stand for something that you are staunchly against? But on the other hand, Fox is the sort who can't let friendships go, so he's really torn apart by the whole situation with Fido.NoSoyFurry wrote: Some people are homo -phoes, like there are aracno -phobes and thalasso -phobes (Fear towards them), there are people who don't like them, people who are in the closet and have to keep a status quo on their family/work so they don't get treated differently, there are those who don't understand how it works or why it is like that, and those who do and even then think it should not happen for x reason. There are those who hate them for religious reasons, others for socio-evolutive ones, others just wouldn't like their kids to be like that and tend to create a hostile environment towards them in their homes...
And how could Fido just come out to Fox, considering that he was a member of Bino's inner circle? And that his own career was at risk should anything come out? The pressure must have been very hard on himDouglas Collier wrote:There is also another category of people who don't like group x because a person from that group betrayed them or hurt them deeply.

The neat thing about Fido's situation is that Mungo's way of wording is making it imply that he's being disciplined for having a cat girlfriend when in reality he's being punished for having ruined a wedding where his girlfriend was involved.IceKitsune wrote:Ok I have a question here, why would Fido receive any kind of disciplinary action from the department for being involved with a cat? Humans find it cute its only animals that have an issue with it really. Unless Mungo is referring to the Good Old Dogs Club with that line, however calling it disciplinary action seems a bit to formal to me for it to be talking about that.
Although I do wonder, is Fido back on the force yet? I can't remember if he returned after is administrative leave...GameCobra wrote: The neat thing about Fido's situation is that Mungo's way of wording is making it imply that he's being disciplined for having a cat girlfriend when in reality he's being punished for having ruined a wedding where his girlfriend was involved.
But no, he's not being punished for having a cat girlfriend. =3
