"Tell me you are conservative without saying you are conservative."
Meh. I honestly believe most people don't try to learn further than "Furries want to fuck animals". I even was in that camp, although not on my own volition - no one was able to describe to me wtf is this about simply put xD Since learning more, I still don't buy it but I stopped hating furries xD
Did you actually ask any furries? I've never met a furry who had a difficult time explaining that it's a fandom for people who enjoy anthropomorphic animals. That's all there is to it.
I did. Multiple times. Multiple time got sideye, "it ain't about fucking animals!" and vague descriptions that pointed to fucking animals.
Only on the net finally someone explained to me that it's closer to xenophilia than zoofilia, and that quite big chunk of the fandom isn't even into the lewd sude of the force.
And to underline, with amount of furry smut online "people who enjoy anthropomorfic animals" isn't helping xD
If you truly care to know. A large chunk of the furry community is on the autism spectrum. A lot of us have issues with reading subtle facial ques and expressions. It's a lot easier to read those on a avatar or well drawn art. Fursonas are basically. Personal mascots that we develope over time some of us have multiple. We like to use them as masks to interact with the world. the art is only a corner of the community but it's what gets most exposure. But yes lots of people like to see their characters (fursona) in NSFW situations. It's pretend play. They draw them with characters of their friends and other people's characters sometimes.
The key thing here is the characters are representing human rational actors not unintelligent animals.
Very well said
Also on the "personal mascot" front, one could also say that they choose the fursonas they do because of the traits in those critters they see in themselves.
For example: someone who sees themselves as chill, a friend to many, wholly unbothered by the things around them, and perhaps a bit chonky might have themselves a capybara fursona.
Thanks for another PoV. The previous I got was that fursonas are pretty much closer to alien - that is with rationality on human level and full conscience of their actions yadda yadda - than to what we perceive as animals, and that quite a lot of furries don't go into the smut side of force. Also that ya guys are reportedly rabid when it comes to hunting down people who are actually zoophiliac in your fandom. Wouldn't surprise me if that were true, looking at how much reputational damage those cases can give you.
But even between that and your explanation I cannot help but feel kinda...off about this whole thing. There's no hate, mind you - the more I understand the fandom the more I am of "be and let be" approach but...
Man, no matter how you put it, at the end of the day it's animal looking character boinking human or another animal character and folks fapping to it. It is kinda yucky, even if I understand that perception is shifted within the fandom.
Nevertheless, hope folk will fuck off from attacking furries for being. ^^'
To reiterate the characters are representing human rational actors not animals. Its more adjacent to costume play.
Like I said, I do understand that. I just underline that for whoever who doesn't ask and judges by the cover, it looks how it looks.
That's the dumbest reasoning ever. This generation is doomed
I'm old enough to be your dad. More than likely than not, but go on Junior
The bestiality community thanks you for your service and how easy it was to recruit you to protect their actions
I will pray for you. You clearly are lashing out and trying to be reactionary. So was it your father or your mother?
You pervs are always out like swarms of hornets
I'm sensing: Your father was distant and your mother disappointed.
I'd rather have a distant father than one that diddled me into being a furry 😂😂😂😂
Same! And no... my dad was into human women. Like I am, too
Ah, so you're a lesbian who likes to kink shame. Bad combo, sister.
when youre arguing with a furry, no logic will work. just sling mud.
They are psychos
maybe, but so am i so..
its about fucking WHILE an animal.
There are literal websites devoted to furry porn. Gross
I mean there are literal websites devoted to all kinds of porn. Are you a prude about all of it, or only the furry sort? :P
I'm talking bestiality on furry porn sites, and yes I think it's over the line just like pedophilia
Okay, you're wildly conflating terms, and it's making it impossible to carry on a conversation with you on this topic.
Have you seen fury porn? I wouldn't recommend it
On the contrary, I do recommend it. Especially if the plot is an important part of the enjoyment factor.
The classic furries are zoophiles problem. A tale as old as time.
Ex dee lollercopter roflmao 🤡
"Tell me you fuck dogs without saying you fuck dogs"
Do you believe all Catholics are pedophiles? Because there is a lot more Catholics who are charged with child sex abuse than furries charged with animal sex abuse.
I would suspect its more old groomers hiding in the sweaty mask than dog fuckers
catholics and republicans, yep. they either fuck kids, have fucked kids, or are planning to in the future.
ETA: i mean american catholics
Ah, so you are just all around narrow minded. Hope you grow up some day!
yep, That's what old age does. I don't have to have an open mind because I did and I saw all the horrible shit so now I don't have to have open mind about some of that shit anymore
Go back to /b/ then, channer. The internet has moved on since the dial-up days and realized that furries are actually really chill people.
Seven Colbert?! NOOO!
What a vapid response, at least be creative with your hate.
it actually was a pretty on-point response. sorry you're bummin'
Holy shit you killed them XD
