Big skepticism from the largest rat there is

The capybara is the largest rodent in the world, and is native to South America. This social animal lives in groups of up til 100 members, and the latin name means "river pig". Which means it is sometimes referred to as "river rat".

In spite of the name, it is an animal commonly found on dry ground near bodies of water, from forest to arid areas near deserts.

Totally useful

Its meat is edible, the hide usable as leather and the greasy appearance of its fur is not related to fresh bath: it is hunted for the fur fat too.

No wonder it acts sceptic and quizzical towards humans.

In the little family in Dusit Zoo, they were mostly interested in the food they just had received. Quite noisy, it sounded like a small pack of guinea pigs connected to a bass amplifier.

Critter fact #19:

The Capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) is the world's largest rodent. Due to their webbed feet, as well as the position of their ears, eyes, and nostrils (on top of their head), they're great swimmers. July 10th is Capybara Appreciation Day!

These great Rodents occasionally frequent the islands in the mouth of the Plata, where the water is quite salt, but are far more abundant on the borders of fresh-water lakes and rivers.

Okay, let’s pull up to the after party with the capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris)! Weighing up to 174 lbs (79 kg), this critter is the world’s largest rodent. Thanks to an abundance of fatty tissue, the capybara is buoyant in water—making it perfectly suited for a semi-aquatic lifestyle. The capybara inhabits wetlands in regions of South America including Venezuela and Brazil. This highly social species can sometimes be spotted in groups of more than 100 individuals.

Following up on the Chinese fan who got attacked by stitch since some people said they did not see it. i did some digging out of curiosity

The poem was about how ppl who use antiracism as a guise for harassment and slur usage don't represent the poet. No mention of EOTWR or stitch at all in the tags or the text.

stitch posted a smug comment on bluesky about the poem.

fiercynn and someone named hydrochaeris, or spec, posted rants on tumblr and twitter. They called the poem pro-racism and said it showed the poet is allying themselves with white supremacists.

Another thing fiercynn did was screenshot the poem and directly link the url to their followers multiple times to encourage their followers to harass the poet. It is still up. post number 721408803348905984

Oh and of course they immediately jumped to accusing the poet of being anti-Black. And they once again said pokemon of color and pick me were not insults. They said that those slurs were about the white people not the POC. post number 721480208118693894

The poet leads events featuring stories by and for Chinese diaspora fans, and also writes dark fic of her own. She has done real antiracism work and hasn't been loud or bullying about it either.

It is just so amazing these people see an anti-harassment poem and immediately get defensive. They are pointing their fingers right at themselves. I do not understand how anyone can support them when they habve been so blatant in their own racism. They also interpret anything as an attack against stitch and immediately point fingers calling people anti-Black if there is even an ounce of disagreement.

It's amazing to me that people can't seem to find even one black voice other than Stitch to elevate.
