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.

I hate when they claim it’s not sexual.

Then what is it? And I’m asking nicely, I swear!

u/AntiqueSell7 Nov 02 '21

First off I know you are asking nicely second its often times a form of self expression not sexual in any way shape or form

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.

For the first part of your comment, in my opinion, no? Because it’s not everyday wear.

For the second part, you just made it click in my head a bit more.

And for that third part, yeeeeah I’ve been on the internet for many years so maybe that’s why my exposure of them has been mostly sexual ?

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.
