Fun fact: one of (if not the) oldest known piece of human figurative art is carving of a person with the head of a lion. AKA a furry.

Imagining furries is more innate to the human condition than farming.

I've never understood the furry hate. People treat it as a kink akin to someone being into taking a shit on your stomach. Except somehow worse.

It's not my thing, but I've known people who are into it and they've all been nice people. I hung out with a bunch of them one of the times I was working at a con and they were fun people to hang around when they were out of their fursuits. And yeah, I didn't quite know how to react to them when they were in the fursuit, but I just stayed friendly. That seemed to be fine with them.

I know exactly how to feel about this...

Those are some quality fursuits, mfer must be hecking rich

As someone who hangs out with a lot of furries, and also only ever gets furries as art customers:

Yes, I understand the discomfort around furries. I can blame people for going out of their way to troll furries, but I can't blame people to want nothing to do with furries.

The furry fandom is by and large filled with people who have massive insecurities. This doesn't count for everyone, but you're more likely to find an emotionally unstable furry than not. It's the ultimate escapism; where people with personal issues create a character with none of those personal issues, and pretend to be said character in an environment where consequences don't exist. It is not for nothing there is such a massive amount (compared to Earth's overall average) of gay, bi, and trans people in the fandom.

Yes, it's also a sex thing. I've seen someone in the comments say "sex positive", but I wouldn't call it that. The furry fandom is a place where a gay or a bisexual person can express their sexuality without persecution, like often happens in places like the United States or Poland, but... It's not really sex positivity, rather it's debauchery. So much debauchery. Which harkens back to escaping into the ideal world without consequences; you can have copious amount of sex and/or sexualise as much as you want without any of the usual responsibilities or consequences that comes with sex.

It is fun to occasionally partake in such debauchery. I'm no prude and I'm not afraid to admit I'm also a bit of a horny guy. So partaking in the occasional kinky, sexy fiction can be fun. Except for a furry it isn't really fiction, which is where a lot of weirdness and unease comes from. And for those who can afford going to conventions or meetups regularly, this level of debauchery occasionally happens in real life... With real life consequences.

A furry lives in a fictional comfort zone where they can pretend to be a character in a world without consequences. But even in exclusively online communities real life tends to catch up with people, so members inside of communities will get pushed outside of this comfort bubble and be reminded about reality. This is the cause for a lot of infamous furry drama.

Those fursuiters are so cute!

listen, it's true, since the beginning of human history anthropomorphic creatures have existed in the human lore.

Now we just need to find a way to convince future historians that furries were some sort of high class god like figures, and our troll will be complete.

those are damn impressive costumes tho

Except one wears a dirty and stinky pelt of a real animal and the other is cuddly and cute <3

I think we need to live sexually, morally, and politically repressed like in the good ol' times. It made it easier to control and indoctrinate people during the growth of empires designed to serve themselves and their pyramid scheme like structures. It's why we burned the satyr plays. I'm just going to say it, if we are going to shift as a subservient and servile class under our billionaire oligarchs, we need to be twice as repressed as we are now, not more "liberated". Who made the best servants? Eunuchs, that's who. Also, please make more babies, we need to feed the feedback loop we have going regarding population growth and our economy/wars. /swtf

Go look up painted Greek statutes, it's a nightmare of garish bullshit that makes the entire work look like utter dog shit. That's how they're ''supposed'' to look. All I'm saying is, people from the past seeing this might be down.
