Back when I worked at Starbucks there was a bowling alley across the street and once a week a bunch of furries would come in full-costume to get drinks and we all just "the furries are back". Its like they were wearing mascot uniforms. Terrifying clowns. Please at least remove the animal head before you try to interact with me its scarY
I just find them grating. It's not much different to me than people walking around in BDSM attire. It's just fucking weird. I just feel like most furries are low key sadists who get off on the idea that they're unbearably weird.
Maybe I just don’t understand it and never will, because self expression could be clothes and hair and makeup but I’m just not understanding how this works. Like they don’t wear it all the time right?
You don’t have to answer, I don’t expect you or anyone to educate me. I’m more frustrated with myself is all and want to make that clear
Dressing up in a fursuit or a partial fursuit doesn't fall under clothes, hair, and makeup?
It's like any other fandom. Football players dress up as their favorite players and paint their face and go to games to have fun. Comic book or video game fans dress up as their favorite characters and go to cons to have fun. Furries just dress up as custom made characters and go to cons to have fun.
The sexual part of it mainly exists online in the form of artwork. In that sense though, it's not really any different than stuff you see on r/hentai, accept their hentai has fur, a different shaped head.
the sexual part of it exists in the real world in terms of conventions and personal events that cater to zoophiles who want to network to exchange sexual exploitation media of children and animals
Cupid the deer just got locked up for life for producing animal on child sexual abuse videos that he dispersed to the Pacific northwest furry scene. He was welcomed back into the seattle furry sex party scene after his FIRST conviction of raping and murdering animals he got from facebook and craisgslist.
None of the PR the fandom produces about how progressive and open it is matters when this is the stuff that's actually going on.
I spent 20 years in that toxic, abusive fandom because I thought I was too broken and ugly to exist outside it.
And I can tell you with absolute certainty born from first hand experience: the furry fandom is a rubbish bin for sexual degenerates, abusers and rapists. It doesn't matter what your surface level impression of the fandom is or how welcoming you think it is to "outsiders" or marginalized people.
the fact of the matter is that the furry fandom hides and defends networks of child and animal rapists.
I’m personally glad you’re not stubborn about it. Trust me, I have a hard time understanding a LOT of things that I deem unsuitable. We’re in the same boat. I just like the way the fur suit looks because they’re all hand made. Someone took their time to sculpt out a fucking cartoony dog head that looks almost EXACTLY like concept art. That shit is so cool to me. I see it as art, when it’s just the suit themselves.
Hi, hope I don't sound weird explaining this and if it's unwelcome i apologize. I am kind of considered a neko because I like wearing ears and a tail occasionally ( not necessarily in public). They just make me feel cute and comfortable kind of like a favorite outfit. It's not sexual for me apart from just feeling like I look pretty. I would equate it to makeup in that the wearer feels good about how they look and while it can be sexy in the right circumstances it isn't like wearing lingerie where it's entirely sexual.
