If you’re not talking about furries, then you’re gonna need to use more words to ask your question. Who is role playing animals, under what circumstances. Are you talking about a game? Are you making political commentary? Street Theater? Help us help you.

OH, are they maybe talking about all of the inflatable animal costumes worn by protesters in the US? There’ve been a lot of pictures of that recently due to the No Kings protest over the weekend.

@OP If this is what you mean, it’s part of a protest movement. It’s a symbol, and it’s making a mockery of the narrative that the protesters are violent extremists. It was popularized by one individual in a frog costume standing up to riot-geared police, and it took off in a big way last weekend all over the country.

Possible. I’d hardly call that role playing, but I could see it.

OP should take the chance to clear that up for us.
