Fur suits and furry porn are two different things.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Sure, but nearly all of the furry art I've seen has been porn. I get that there are lifestyles and activities that are not porn-related. Either way if you're into it, you do your thing. I'm probably not going to be commenting on their creativity because I find the whole thing a little creepy, but I also wouldn't limit someone's ability to live that way.

You said you find fur suits gross though, those aren't inherently sexual.

I'm not trying to gatekeep anything. I don't care what you think is cool. Furries aren't some form of media or object, they're people. I don't assume people are cool based on their hobbies.
Furries aren’t done form of media or object, they’re people.
"Furries" can refer either to people who are part of the furry fandom, or to the furry characters themselves.
It's kinda weird that that's the case, since usually, in furry spaces, the characters are referred to as "anthros" which is short for "anthropomorphic animals".

I am sorry if this comes off as offensive to anyone, I'm not trying to be.
I don't get furries.
I also don't have to completely understand their ins and outs and complexities to know they're people who are worthy of respect for being other living people. (or non-people if they identify as non-people? Again I don't understand them as much as I probably should).
Regardless, shout out to all the furries out there who struggle with things I can't even imagine.
wrote last edited by [email protected]I’m cool with roleplaying as an animal person, wearing a costume, the fetish aspect, whatever. Live your life.
I just don’t understand why they’ve all standardized to using the same terrible art style. It doesn’t look like a human, an animal, or even a sonic character (which I assume is the root), but a fourth thing. You can tell a furry by how they draw a normal human because of how deep set the habits are. Is there any other group as exclusively committed to an art style?
If I spent that kind of money on a wolf costume I’d at least want it to vaguely look like a wolf.
Edit: If you think these don’t heavily share a style (as compared to anthropomorphic characters from non-furry animated series, for example) then I don’t know what to tell you.

That was someone else. I'm not the original commenter on this comment chain.

Sorry man I'm quite confused, are you saying people who don't like furries are trying to justify furries?
-
Well, I hope so, because I do
Fursuits have magic powers? No wonder they're so fucking expensive!

That's quite pedantic. I didn't mean that as in "all furries are cool, including Nazis, fascists and other assholes", I meant more "I like the furry fandom".

people who dont like furries attempting to justify not liking them, which in my opinion is a bad look, regardless of whether or not they say theyre 'ok' with furries

To be clear: I harbor no resentment against furries. They have a right to do their thing, I just don't want to be involved.
If furry porn didn't exist, then I might have less of a prejudice against furries and furry content. But as it stands, I will actively avoid anything with the furry aesthetic, because the porn is too weird for me to stomach. You will never be able to remove that association; the damage is done. When I see video games that I might otherwise like, but the art is furry art, I think, "ah, that's a shame. Won't be playing that."
