I’m a furry and i am weirdly interested by the furry fandom from like a philosophical standpoint.
Fetishes in particular interest me a fair amount.
Some fetishes borderline on surrealist horror once you think about them too much.
I kind of wanted to write a story set in a furry world where common furry fetishes are like a phenomenon that are taken completely seriously.
I think a good example is the concept of inflation.
It’s quite horrific once you start thinking about it in a non-sexual context.
Someone expanding until they explode in a mass of bloated gore.
I feel like I only realized how weird furries really are once I started thinking from an outsider’s point of view.
All of this is strange, very strange, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I think furries have great potential for satire and surrealist horror/comedy that I don’t feel has been properly exploited.
The furry fandom feels “alienated” in my opinion. Anthropomorphic animals are a widespread concept yet the furry fandom feels like it is focused on specific attributes.
For example, femboys. Go on pretty much any furry group and you are likely to encounter a femboy character somewhere.
The fact that femboys are so common in the furry fandom intrigues me as at first glance effeminate men and anthropomorphic animals have absolutely no correlation whatsoever.
I badly want to write a story that is somewhat a satire of the furry fandom.
Not coming from a standpoint of hate but curiosity and just sort of poking a bit of fun at a lot of “tropes” within the fandom.
I imagine it would likely be intentionally chaotic and probably not very good story-wise, but I’d want to put it out there anyway even if it wasn’t so good. The furry fandom itself is just something im weirdly fixated on at the moment.
