I mean, I loosely identify as one (I'm not like, super into it), and the general furry population isn't that bad, so I have no complaints.

Yeah, sure, I can understand your use of the word decadent to describe a sexual fetish. But what you are describing is not the furry fandom, so calling the fandom decadent in that sense does not fit.

And yet all those things you do like going to furry conventions, making fursuits and buying and drawing furry "art", you are doing them out of a desire to fulfill this fetish of your. Whether you jack off to it or not really doesn't matter that much on you actually having a fetish for said thing.

And honestly, I would say that both are as decadent.


I also like the art of the Pre-Raphaelites. I like wearing black and listening to symphonic rock. Just a couple of days ago I sewed a pair of pyjamas. By your logic, I must also be fulfilling some fetish in doing these things, right?

Do you have anything to support your argument that furry is a fetish, because it sounds like you're pulling out some Freudian psycho-babble to make the facts fit your pre-conceived conclusion.

Here's an expansion on my opinion:

I don't really mind/care about furries, non-sexual or sexual. As long as they're not part of the small percentage who like to do it doggy style with a dog I honestly have nothing against them.

I think you misunderstood me Furries as an idea or concept don't exist. It is all an illusion *cue X-Files theme*.

Alto I find this highly depraved and completely retarded, I tend not to care about furries.

It's probably among the stupidest activities you can possibly come with, but it harms no one.
People who dislike them already take action from time to time.

I think that the furrie fandom is weird as fuck, but its never hurt me in any way so Im ultimately fine with it. Even if I think that their fandom is just bizarre, as long as they are being civil and respectful, (which as far as I can tell they are) I dont let myself get mad about it.

I have no problem with furries, as long as they "do it" with other humans, and not animals. If they "do it" with other animals, it should be a jail sentence, 2 yr minimum

A gang of furries would easily fit in a scene from The Warriors.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
