PugJesusThe furries are doing their part o7
Flying SquidThe Internet hatred for furries always bothered me. I’m not into it, I think it’s weird, but so what? I think BDSM is weird too, but we don’t treat people into BDSM like we treat furries- as if they’re some sort of disease. I’ve met a few working at sci-fi/comic cons over the years and they’ve always been really nice, decent people. They just have a kink. Lots of people have kinks.
FirstPitchStrikeI think it's the fact that furries tend to bring their kink public. I have not consented to engage in your sex games. If he showed up to a ceremony in leather and a ballgag no one would be ok with it, but the fur suit is the equivalent.

I mean, no. It’s really not.
I do get what you’re saying and generally agree otherwise. That one was just a bit much.
NOT_RICKI agree. I’ve seen furries in public and while I find them odd, I never saw any of their costumes as inherently sexual.
BaroqueInMindThey do, though, and therein lies the non-issue.
No they don’t.
except they don’t though, where are you coming up with this?
say someone is attracted to women, right? is every female body they see gonna be viewed exclusively through a sexual lens?
some people get kinky with ropes, are those inherently sexual too? where’s the line?
Some do, many don’t. A fursuit is a costume, as a cosplayer in fandoms do, and I guarantee there are cosplayers that have sex in their costumes.
Knowing quite a few fursuiters there’s less of them that want to have sex in suit because it’s hot as fuck, makes you a lot more clumsy, and those suits are expensive as hell as they’re custom made.
You sound like the kind of person that wants to ban drag story time at the libraries because “kids shouldn’t be exposed to someone’s kink”
agamemnonymousSo the distinction I feel here is that women are people. If a man wants to dress like a woman, sure, most people can interact with women in public, whatever. If you want to call them both, broadly, a form of cosplay, than drag is a costume that doesn’t fundamentally change much. Animals aren’t people.
so we should BAN HALLOWEEN
I mean, Halloween is explicitly a cosplay event which subverts social norms. I think it’s pretty disingenuous to conflate Halloween with typical daily interaction
furry meet ups are explicitly a cosplay event which subverts social norms. i think it’s pretty disingenuous to conflate people with hobbies with sexual deviants.
Oh sure, meetups are one thing. I’m only talking about out in public.
tryptaminev 🇵🇸 🇺🇦 🇪🇺Would you say the same about police officers, nurses, nuns, motorcycle wear and so on?
If the body isnt indecently exposed i find it hard to draw the line, since everything and nothing is someones kink.
Man’s so autistic, he thinks real life police officer uniforms are as depraved as antisocial neets pretending to be dogs
We established that there is sexual and non sexual furries. As each of my examples is both non sexual and sexual for some people, it is impossible to deem the one as right and the other as wrong on that basis.
Interestingly it is you, that seems to consider animal suits and behaviour as a sex thing. So maybe you need to own up to your kinks you little furry.
i’m so sad for you
JimboThe fursuit is the equivalent??? I’m actually laughing rn people think this???
JackbyDevbring their kink into public
But it’s not a kink for them.
I mean if someone gets off by not hurting or interacting with you then your consent isn’t important. What happens in someone else’s head is theirs. How they act toward others is important. Feel free to be skeeved out, tho.
