Furries: what do you think of them?

[Uawc]

The whole furry thing has always made me feel uncomfortable as hell. I support their right to live their lives however they want, but I'll be elsewhere.

[Katganistan]

So I am away for like a few weeks, my partial fursuit arrived, and I see thi thread going strong.

Did I just import the Furry Fandom in NationStates officially?

That is pretty amazing, ngl.

[Katganistan]

Quite a heavy dislike, It just feels wrong. It is also a gateway to Zoophilia (In my opinion)

I disagree. Is dressing up as a superhero a gateway to mutant/mutate powered vigilantism?

[Katganistan]

Furries are fine as long as they aren't zoophiles, pedophiles or domestic terrorists.

You can literally replace "Furries" with ANY OTHER GROUP in that sentence.
Maybe because those things are not limited to furries?

[Doggoia]

They're fine if they just like the art and don't want to act like somebody they aren't by wearing a fursuit around everywhere, and maybe only wearing it during conventions and such.

What's wrong with wearing ears and a tail? What's so offensive about it?

I think there isnt anything wrong with it per say, it's essentially a form of cosplay

Not sure if you can equate children dressing up as superheroes to adults dressing up as anthropomorphic animals as one in the same. But to each his own opinion I guess

It's not always adults. And yes, I would equate the two.

[Sheizou]

to be fair, I don't think it's just children dressing as superheros and adults dressing as furries.

* some furries are minors and adults dress as superheros

[Ponklybonkowaidaho]

It does not matter what your hobbies are. Even though it may seem cringe to some, you should be free to participate in what you enjoy as long as no harm comes to you or others due to you partaking in an activity.

Ok that is worrying. How do we know that minors who dress up as furries aren’t a case of indoctrination by parents?

What

What is wrong with child furries?

Hang on, now, we’re talking about people who like animals more than the average joe, not an illuminati death cult. Indoctrinating a child with the average furry’s beliefs is about on the level of letting them watch a My Little Pony marathon. Let’s not make a mountain out of a molehill.

So, my brother-in-law is a furry. My sister didn't know when they first started dating. In fact, it took them being married for a year or so for him to open up to her about it, understandably. Fortunately for him, she's totally supportive of it. When she told me about it I was a little... confused. Not because I think it's wrong (which I don't) or weird (which I do). I just know that some furries do... interesting stuff in the bedroom. Which is more than a little uncomfortable for me to think about under any circumstances, let alone involving my sister. But it's none of my business what she does with her husband behind closed doors, so that helps.

[The United Kingdom of King Charles III]

VERY negative

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Not my cup of tea. With all due respect, I find the fandom a bit weird. No hate, just not my scene.

[New-lamp Dynasty]

I am one, if that wasn't obvious enough

You're asking far too much from NSG: the slippery slope never ceases to be deployed.

[Huffmania]

The definition of furry is an individual who is interested in anthropomorphic animals, so yeah, they’re valid

"Indoctrination" in kids is a fascist talking point. Furries are not "indoctrinating" their or your kids.

[Calption]

Just people a little too attached to Animals.

[Faroe Social Republic]

let them exist, i dont care as long as they dont be weird to me

[Lapteah]

Who cares really. As long as they're fine with me I'm fine with them
But if they're jerks then burn the suits with them inside
This is referring to the people who dress up as animals, not to zoophiles or any of the scourge of that fandom, they should get the burnt suit treatment as well.
