I realize that there have been occasions of public excess, mostly sexual.

This is regrettable because it should be all about fun.

I have a friend who is a retired Navy man, now working as a Pirate of the Caribbean at Orlando. He made his lovely wife a complete head-to-toe costume as a white horse, and when Disney gave them a complementary cruise she went in costume. There were some clever adaptations made in the costume for dining etc.

He and I are on the message boards for an anthropomorphic comics site, The Belfry, wonderful place, very user friendly. My favorites offerings there are Kevin and Kell, FreeFall, Ozy and Millie, Namir Dieter, and les Aventures de Fifine.

Some of my favorites have now closed, but their archives are worth a look: Acid Reflux, Unicorn Jelly, Mynarski Woods, and Undoubtedly Kawaii.

To add, movies such as Zootopia is one of them.

Round them all up in camp and burn them alive along with the MLP-cracists.

In my opinion, the furry fanbase is a bit weird for my tastes. Let them do whatever they want though, as long as they do not affect me, or try to "brainwash" me into joining the furry fanbase.

Hehe, the last fur con I was at was on the same day as a football grand final. There were football fans on one side of the road, furries on the other, and people were crossing the road to avoid the football nuts and coming over to us.

Bland, irrelavant, and wrong. As stated before, furry is not a sexual act, despite what you might have seen on CSI, a show whose writers appear to have written solely for the stupid punchliness with the sunglasses thing that guy does.

Pray the two never get drunk in the same pub without protection, or the world ends up dealing with furry football hooligans.
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.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

I don't really know enough about that subculture to form any kind of opinion about them. I've never met any furries, don't know anyone who has, and most of my information about them comes from (mostly rather unflattering) internet sources of questionable reliability.

So I am going to withhold any judgement on the furry subculture, asides from that they seem harmless.
Freedom doesn't mean being able to do as one please, but rather not to do as one doesn't please.

A fool sees religion as the truth. A smart man sees religion as a lie. A ruler sees religion as a useful tool.

Posting rulebreaking material of the "Kill all X group" variety isn't somehow magically rendered not-trolling by virtue of using the strikeout BBCode. It just makes it read as "teehee, how close can I get to the line without crossing it?"

I find it disgusting that grown men are sexually attracted to animals. Not only nearly tossing away their humanity but dressing up as animals. They should be exiled to Siberia where the real animals live, maybe they will learn and come back real men.
