Furries: what do you think of them?

[Farnhamia]

Clearly we need to adress the bigger issue, what do you think of rats?

*looms ominously* Rats are not the topic.

I remember during the Jolt days Furry nations never lasted long in International Incidents, back before the mods could actually enforce Roleplay rules anytime a Furry nation made some grand reveal to the world it was usually followed up by a half a dozen nations showing up to genocide them.

Hell they didn't have to be furry, just having cat ears was enough for some nations to get a kill on sight.

Some did manage to survive and sometimes nations would try to step in to spare a few but it never ended well.

[Veneti Marsei]

Generally, just kind of cringe. Sure, do whatever you want in your own isolated pocket, but I'll always view furryism as just kind of degenerate. I don't hate furries, but it's just weird.

[Countesia]

My main issue with the furry community is that its a gateway to hardcore pornography.

I've been around the internet long enough to have encountered some of the artwork used for the purposes of self pleasuring in the furry community... more times than i'm comfortable with. Obviously, people get exposed to this and aroused by this.

Pornography addiction is almost as crippling as drug addiction. What once satisfied your cravings eventually doesn't have the same effect, so you move onto something stronger. Then it doesn't give you that kick anymore. So you move onto something stronger. Same goes with furry porn.

inb4 "Why were you looking at them" I didn't get a choice.

[Andsed]

A hobby is a hobby. I really don't have the energy to spend getting weirdly angry about people dressing up in fursuits.

For shame, roleplayers.

While not a furry myself, I've known many a furry in my time and from what I've seen, they tend to be the backbone of many online communities and are more often than not really really nice people. Unfortunately the internet has a habit of cherrypicking the worst of any group and projecting their actions onto the entire group. What anyone does with their free time is not my business, and who am I to stop them if they're not hurting anybody?

If you've spent long enough on the internet, you're probably friends with a furry whether you know it or not, so try and be nice to them. :) (Ideally, try to be nice to everyone you can regardless of identity or affiliation.)

Anti-Furry groups like the Anti-Furry Alliance were fairly common.
Not that everyone sided with groups like that, I barely remember this one, I think my involvement was to strongly condemn the war, mobilize and then ultimately just pick up the few thousand survivors I could.

[Vallahalla]

I'm personally not a fan, but I respect them since they are humans like us, which means unalienable rights apply to them as well.

Except the very weird ones which I strongly dislike with a burning passion.

I got a telegram by a furry who I never interacted with before and here's the telegram

Goo-d day human. Iwt wouwd appeaw thawt uwu found youwsewf in whawt iws going tuwu become a gooey wastewand. Wun away whiwe uwu cawn, wesistence iws futiwe, youw convewsion awnd assimiwation iws imminent. Join us wiwwingwy awnd uwu wiww nowt be hawmed. Fight bawck awnd uwu wiww be buthewed awnd eaten.
Uwu have 3 choices, become goo, wun away ow became food. Which wiww iwt be?

so because of that what I think of them is that their all degenerates

[New-Minneapolis]

There is a high concentration of cute femboys in the furry community, so I don’t mind them

[New-Minneapolis]

Eh, what consenting adults do with each other is their business. So long as they've keeping actual animals out of it, I see nothing morally wrong with it.

Not all Furrys have a sexual component to their hobby. I would personally rather get to know the person wearing a costume rather than a character

[Krovanima]

I view furries that watch anthropomorphic pornography very negatively. However, it is their choice to watch it and no one should be able to restrict them.

It was a welcome telegram meant to deter defenders, as was already mentioned in this thread. So, do you now think that raiders are degenerates instead?

Also, *they're

[New Wolvers]

Remind me you were therian correct?

Not a therian, only used therian symbol with "colors of virtue and monarchy" for my NS storefront.

Also some Furries are serious about turning people into anthro animals: https://freedomofform.org/

Yes I know the FFF. I know the founders themselves and hopefully they get somewhere

[Holy Catheria]

Leviticus 18:23 and Deuteronomy 27:21 comes to mind, for some reason.

[Noob Topia]

Some can be cool really don't care about them but I think they have a problem with animal fuckers and kid fuckers

[Ifreann]

Leviticus 18:23 and Deuteronomy 27:21 comes to mind, for some reason.

Why? Do you think that people who like anthropomorphic animal characters want to fuck real animals?

Go read the rules.

[Safiloa]

I have no issue with them. Consenting adults may do as they please. I have an issue with people who would have an issue with them, stop forcing your moral beliefs on others.

That being said, I've never met a furry AND generally, people who splurge thousands of dollars on anything other than bettering oneself or helping others will be considered at the very least a little selfish by me no matter what. I hope that people who do that pay their taxes and contribute to society in their own way.

[The burning blade]

a bit strange but no stranger than LARP or dnd or ns RP so i guess its ok

A few years back I ran into a purple fox at a local store. Given how unusual that was (nothing I ever saw outside of a con), it seems reasonable that it aroused my curiosity. But that immediately made me feel uncomfortable, since it seemed that the thing to do was to pretend nothing was out of the ordinary. Like someone you know suddenly dying their hair bright blue. Or someone who appears pregnant - maybe? - but has not said anything about it (I have witnessed the result of someone offering congratulations only to have it turn out to be weight gain). I'm never sure what I'm supposed to notice or not these days. Not because there's anything wrong with any of that, but just plain human interest in the unusual. Also not sure if I would address them as whoever they are under the costume (is it a costume?), or as whatever they are presenting as - as a - what? How does that work anyway? Just confused. In the end it seems best to just act like I would around anyone I don't know with whom I have no reason to interact. I feel a bit weird even mentioning it here, but since it was asked...

First times for everything they say, the store in question was probably a comic book store.

[PhilTech]

To be blunt, weird.

However, for those who are genuinely a fan of that "genre", I totally understand and respect them. They reminiscent my favorite animated character back in childhood, Po (from Kung fu Panda).

But for those few (I hope so) who use this fandom as a means to arouse their sexual fetish for furries? That I find really weird, but not creepy though, just weird.

My ape brain can't fathom where this fetish is coming from. Me, as a Heterosexual male, even if you give me a furry female with a perfect hourglass body and the curves and thighs of a supermodel, but with that tail and by the simple fact that it is not human? It'll just make me go .

Dammit, NSG strikes again!
