    Anthropomorphic animals have been a staple since Disney and freaking Aesop! 600BCE. People labeling it all the same as people who have a fursona are really weird.

    It seems like this is what the bigots and outrage enthusiasts have latched into since they’ve been thoroughly shunned for hating other demographics (trans people most recently). It seems like it’s getting more posts recently.

      Sure there’ve been talking animals since humans have been telling stories, but what seems to be new is the rando who’s always there in the comments to say “Yo, I’d totally tap Tigger’s ass”, “That Coyote character is a snack.”

      I’m just going to go with it’s really fucking weird to see a heard of kids around the furries at Pride.

      I’m not anti-furry, but some self awareness would be nice.

        That’s because of your personal biases and perceptions. Not anything larger surrounding it or backing your opinion up. Unless they’re out there performing indecent public acts. Where is the problem? And my knowledge in general they aren’t. While some might have fetishes surrounding furries. Furries in and of themselves are not objectively a sexual fetish. No more than people cosplaying is.

        Stop sexualizing everyone because of what you see on the Internet. They aren’t fucking in public. People are allowed to be into fur suits and fursonas and also like fucking in them in private. That’s like people being weirded out seeing you around kids because they know you had sex once.

          The fuck…I was there. The furries in bondage gear playing with a couple of toddlers is seared in my head. HAVE SOME SELF AWARENESS…that’s all I’m asking.
