    idk i think its pretty out of place and gets kind of obnoxious seeing specifically anime furry adjacent stuff all the time. If its your thing, its really your thing, if its not your thing its mildly annoying/occasionally weird. Theres some communities where if youre an outsider its better not to engage with the fandom but thats hard when its your job to interact with these people all day.

    ok tangent: i used to think furries are mostly innocent nice nerds, but then i found out how the vast majority are into it as a kink or some kind of nasty besti*lity cartoon fetish nasty nasty. I get reallly uncomfy around those dudes that wear the mascot head to walmart or whatever bc i feel like hes gonna jerk off about being a dog later

    edit: yeah that sums up my feelings, i feel gross like youre exposing me/involving me in your kink when i see that stuff. not in an extreme way or anything. but the nature of it being wantinf to fck dogs takes it up a notch

    What's your basis for saying the vast majority are into it as a kink thing? Because I'm someone who used to feel uneasy about furries for much the same reason you are β€” but that was when I personally knew few, if any people who were furries.

    Over the last few years, my work has meant that I've met more furries than I can count, becoming friends with many of them, and developing a better understanding of what being a furry offers them. It's not a sex thing for the vast majority of furries I have known. This isn't just based on my experience either β€” I have an artist friend who draws furry porn for a living. Although she is not a furry herself, she exists in close proximity to the furry community so that she can network and get commissions, and she agrees that the people for whom it's a kink thing is a minority

    I was a furry before I had words for it, way before I knew anything about sex stuff… I learned the term β€œfurry” around 2002 and was shocked there was a term for it, and quite a few other people who felt the same way I did!

    This reaction is not neutral. You're missing the people in between those repulsed by the idea of silly animal cartoons (you) and those who actively enjoy silly animal cartoons. Which is everybody else, who just see a cartoon and do not care.

    Legitimate completely non-sarcastic question because I'm actually curious. How do you feel about trans rights and how do you feel about Trump?

    Well, good news! You're wrong!

    A furry is simply somebody who's a fan of anthropomorphics. For example, I'm a fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I do not want to fuck the TMNT. I'm willing to bet most fans of the TMNT don't.

    Maybe. Why do you care, though? It sounds like you're upset about kinky people existing.
