Honestly, it's the exact opposite. Furries are pretty hot.
Yanno, because of all the fur.

Yeah those fursuits look really hot to wear

The furry community is one of the most accepting and open minded communities because they understand what it's like to be treated as outcasts and to be chastised for liking something that's completely harmless just because it's out of the norm. Most of the time it's not even a sexual thing for them, it's just something they like or something that makes them feel more comfortable out in public. It's a way to make their exterior to be exactly what they want it to be. So in that way I think they're pretty cool as a whole.

In general that may be true, but not all furries are benevolent. Every community to have ever existed in history eventually gets some bad apples and gatekeepers when it gets to a certain size.

I'm perfectly comfortable with taking it as far as "so long as it's all consenting adults, it's none of my fucking business, and I wish them all well."
If it's not my thing, no big deal. Some people like feet, and it's not my thing, so no big deal.
Even if I find it personally gross, again, consenting adults, no big deal. Some people are into watersports, but hey, so long as they're not leaving a mess or hurting each other, no big deal.
We've got enough trouble in the world without also trying to police what adults are doing in their goddamn personal lives. I yearn for a day in which more people could accept the "it's none of my fucking business" ethos.

The community is so awesome. I have never felt like I truly belong in anything but the fandom.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I was kinda upset to find out that a furry blogger I used to read and listen to back in high school, Two the Ranting Gryphon, turned out to be a pedophile and went to prison for CP. They also turned into a neo-nazi.
He was associated with the guy who was basically the reason there was no Califur in 2018.

Yeah, I think it should be really warm in such costumes

Furries are an important indicator species for online spaces. They are a sign of a healthy platform.

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.

Yeah, I agree with all that. Doesn't make anyone "cool" based on their sexual preference.

It's not a sexual preference, it's an artistic style and subject preference.

My hard line is at the sexualizing animals, no matter how disguised, but whatever. It's fantasy. There are far worse role playing scenarios.

Same. Y'all do you, but I've blocked every mention of "yiffy" around here. Not my jam.
Funny story! Went to a Halloween charity ball where you either dressed formal or wore a costume. Went in the men's room and this dude is grunting like he's seriously jacking himself. It was alarming, like, bro, you OK?
Giant fat man stumbles out of the stall. He'd been wrestling with his spandex to take a piss.
Friends and neighbors, that's dedication!

Unless they are Nazi or pedo furries.

I've blocked every furry community that hits my screen - not my cup of tea - but I also see quality posts from you all the time in the corners of Lemmy that I do frequent. You 100% belong here, to Lemmy at large and not just the furry subsets of it.

Look, you want the guy I know to fix your computer? Maybe deal with the wolf costume?
