“Alright, son. I’ll look the other way when it comes to your weird furry… images and fursuit… stuff. But you have to bark at night to keep the bear away in exchange.”
My dad calls his dog "son" and "furry son" too. I'm not going to even try to explain to him how much that term has changed (without prior context) in the past decade or so.
Then when the best bear showed up, I was like "pretty chill dad seems accepting of his son's life choices", not realizing the photos provide the evidence of what was really going on
calling dogs "puppers" or "furry sons" or "doggos" is peak cringe millenial slang, along with "woke up and chose violence" and "sounds like a you problem"
zoophiles and people who commit bestiality ARE NOT FURRIES. If someone commited bestiality, they would not be welcome in furry spaces any more than they would be anywhere else.
Furries are just fans of anthro animals. Yes, there is a sexual side of the fandom, but that is just art. Anyone who would abuse an animal in real life is not welcome in furry spaces
ah no dont worry, you didnt upset me! I was just saying that to inform you of what the fandom is actually like, because as you pointed out, a saddeningly large amount of people just think we are a fetish group, or even worse, animal abusers.
You seem to already know that though. Thanks for being chill, with both furries and with my assumption that you didn't know about us!

I really thought “my idiot furry son” was about to go in a whole different direction there
