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?
Well, I hope so, because I do
Fursuits have magic powers? No wonder they're so fucking expensive!
I think cats are cute and babies are cute, and never once has it occurred to me to role play as one? Or to actually invest in roleplaying as one?
I won't yuck your yum, but I think "there are more dimensions", doesn't mean it's NOT a common dimension.
