The parade was amazing, too. Gotta love the furries.
Do I gotta?
Not physically
Yes owofficer, this normie right here
I wish I was a normie 😭
Yes.
Honestly yeah, people bully them for no reason but they are just a bunch of nerdy gay people. Don't hate.
It's always been the funniest shit for me.
I found most people say it's the fact that we are more promiscuous. Which blows my mind cuz it's like are you really going to try to make fun of people for having more sex than you. Sounds like you need to get laid more loser. LMAO
The real reason they're attacking anybody is that they're "weird" (which is obviously something completely subjective and meaningless), the alleged reasons are made up on the fly to convince themselves that they actually have some weight in their opinions.
Bingo. It's just like how conservatives claim homosexuals are rapists and groomers. Their lifestyle makes them uncomfortable, so they fabricate justifications.
That's so interesting omg. I feel like that's just a really poorly thought out cover for disliking anything too outside the norm. Like people say the same thing about gay men too. But obviously, promiscuity is celebrated for straight men.
Are furries mostly gay? Tbh I don't know anything about furries beyond the fun, cute parade they have every year.
Yes, most but not all. Maybe like 80% are LGBT. I remember seeing some kind of chart showing that, maybe you can Google and find.
No thanks 😬
See, that's the difference between furries and normies: furries aren't assholes for no reason =)
The heads are too uncanny valley for me. It's very unsettling. I don't even necessarily think it's a fetish like that other guy accused me of, the heads just freak me out. If I'm an asshole for that then yeah I guess I'm an asshole.
Depends heavily on the fursuits maker + the style the customer wants.
The asshole bit was basically "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" but in a more... direct way.
it's almost entirely subjective though, it's reaching into uncanny valley for some people, and not for others, there's just not much you can do about it unfortunately.
Debatable
You can't deny the craftsmanship 🤌
This one believes it to be a fetish.
Furry is the interest in anthropomorphic animal art. The fandom is just like any other fandom with a wide variety of people with different levels of interest in it. There are many neurodivergent people who use fursuits as a way to make social interaction easier and there are those who just enjoy entertaining people or just enjoy being in suit and being silly. I won't deny that there is some people who take things too far or who consent to doing things in private, but it's just like any fandom. People doing NSFW things in costume is in every fandom. As long as they keep it consensual and in private, what does it matter?
There are also many people who very much prefer SFW only for everything they do or people who are middle ground. Hell, there's actually quite a few average people who just want to be part of a community who enjoy the art and the atmosphere. It is a hugely varied fandom with a lot of misconceptions.
i always find the porn comments to be weird, like my brother in christ have you seen japan?
or like, the internet?
Yeah there's porn, and? Don't look at it and it won't bother you lmao.
Tentacle Grape is a soda and it bothers me.
ah yes hyper specific market segments, my beloved.
