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

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

      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!

      Never choose a costume where you have crap on your face or head. A great concept is ruined by irritation at 9:30pm.

      Them that commits to the bit gets the respect

        Have you met one? Truly curious.

        Also turned on by system administrators doing sequential straight leg lifts while walking, can’t help it

          On some discord servers over the years I have. Especially related to any games with historical warfare involved like WW2.

            I've seen a few in my time. Hell, in another post I mentioned that I used to like 2 the Gryphon's content. He was like a furry Maddox. Hadn't thought about him in years, looked up if he was still around and discovered he was arrested for possession of child porn and joined a neo-nazi group. 😕

              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.

              I don't get them either.

              What I do know, however, is that most of the ones I've met seen like great people. The community seems extremely friendly and welcoming. They also seem to be intelligent and willing to step up to help.

              Ultimately, if it makes them happy, and doesn't hurt anyone, have fun! I'm sure others look at me similarly, for my weird hobbies.

                Simply put: It's a fetish.

                It's pretty common to not understand why some people like the things they do in fetishes. Most people don't find feet attractive, but some people become just as aroused seeing feet as others do seeing breasts.

                (Some furries will insist up and down that it's not a fetish, and those people are lying. They'll claim it's about a ton of different things, but it's pretty easy to tell. Because the ones who deny it are the ones who like to push their fetish onto others.)

                  So your definition of furry is exclusively someone who wears fur suits in public? Because that's not most people's definition of that term. But either way, is it just beyond you that someone could like doing something others see as weird for any reason other than sexual gratification?

                  Also, why do you use breasts are your "sexual but not fetishized" example here lmao are you under the impression that the western sexual fixation on breasts is not fetishistic

                      As a response to you

                      Would you say that someone "thinking cats are cute and liking them" is just a fetish?

                      There's more dimensions of liking something and wanting to engage with it than just sexual

                        The definition of fetish includes non-sexual things, which is why officially we also have "sexual fetish" and "kinks".

                        There's also fetishism: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetishism

                            ..do you really think the other commenter meant it in that way, though? And is that how fetish is used in common parlance?

                              I can respect that they deserve to be treated a humans and still find it gross. because it's gross.

                                  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 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.

                                    The one bit I’ve recognized is that character designs with tails end up leading the eyes to the ass.

                                    I’m no furry, but I recognize I’m an ass man.
