Unpopular Opinion

I think they're sincere, but it's sorta starting to feel like they're using this as a soapbox from which to preach intolerance. While not quite as charged as the topic of trans people, a lot of the rhetoric they're using in here is only one swapped noun away from being a JK Rowling tweet.

I posted it there hence this post

Hi - I've got, not a fursuit per se, but a full-body costume that I wear to basically any event where it's appropriate to do so. It is very common for parents to come and ask to take their kids' pictures with me, not the other way around. I have in fact never approached anyone looking to have a picture taken, but kids still come interact with me - with their parents present - all the time.

You can certainly make the argument that that's irresponsible on the parents' behalf because, asd you note, nobody can tell who I am, but blaming furries for that is just wild.

Re: the zoo, furries tend, generally speaking, to be very pro-animal rights. Furries as a whole donate a lot of money to animal-benefiting charities and whatnot. (Most furry conventions include fundraising for some charity or another.) Furries also just tend to enjoy animals in general, and zoos tend to be the easiest place to go to see non-domesticated animals, so I'm not sure why you'd be surprised to see furries there.

very easy to avoid!

Not in certain areas to be honest. I run into furries rather frequently.

Not all furies are sexual we actually have a large asexual subgroup so some just like the cute art. But a lot of us also like roleplay fantasy and sex.

Its a persona type thing, where people draw, dress, and act like their characters. Yeah, sexuality often plays a part in art because furry is about freedom of expression. This art may also include depictions of slice of life, violence, memes, ect.

I think there's alot of nsfw because if you're going to pay for or take the time to make art, may as well make it nsfw if you want.
