Damn, the gay furries are out there conquering the world this week. huh.
Fursuits always look so hot and uncomfortable to me. Can any furries here confirm or deny?
Can confirm.
In fact, furries went out and improved upon the design of military cooling vests to try and beat the heat:
They are in fact hot, but there’s ways to be comfortable in a fursuit, such as wearing underarmour/lycra/spandex. Sweat wicking stuff is a life saver in a fursuit.
They definitely are. Cons always have a lot of signage up about watching for symptoms of heat stroke, and decent cons will have a “headless lounge” set up as semi-private (fursuiters and assistants only) space to take off parts of your suit and cool down. Usually lots of fans going and freely available water.
The parade was amazing, too. Gotta love the furries.
Honestly yeah, people bully them for no reason but they are just a bunch of nerdy gay people. Don’t hate.
It’s always been the funniest shit for me.
I found most people say it’s the fact that we are more promiscuous. Which blows my mind cuz it’s like are you really going to try to make fun of people for having more sex than you. Sounds like you need to get laid more loser. LMAO
Are furries mostly gay? Tbh I don’t know anything about furries beyond the fun, cute parade they have every year.
See, that’s the difference between furries and normies: furries aren’t assholes for no reason =)
The heads are too uncanny valley for me. It’s very unsettling. I don’t even necessarily think it’s a fetish like that other guy accused me of, the heads just freak me out. If I’m an asshole for that then yeah I guess I’m an asshole.
This one believes it to be a fetish.
Furry is the interest in anthropomorphic animal art. The fandom is just like any other fandom with a wide variety of people with different levels of interest in it. There are many neurodivergent people who use fursuits as a way to make social interaction easier and there are those who just enjoy entertaining people or just enjoy being in suit and being silly. I won’t deny that there is some people who take things too far or who consent to doing things in private, but it’s just like any fandom. People doing NSFW things in costume is in every fandom. As long as they keep it consensual and in private, what does it matter?
There are also many people who very much prefer SFW only for everything they do or people who are middle ground. Hell, there’s actually quite a few average people who just want to be part of a community who enjoy the art and the atmosphere. It is a hugely varied fandom with a lot of misconceptions.
i always find the porn comments to be weird, like my brother in christ have you seen japan?
or like, the internet?
Yeah there’s porn, and? Don’t look at it and it won’t bother you lmao.
I’ve never grown out of the “furry are creepy” state.
No hate intended, it’s just … unnerving
it’s the uncanny valley. I assume you’re talking about fursuits, you might find some of the art to be a lot less freaky.
Exactly. Furry art is basically Disney/Pixar talking animals stuff. I don’t think I’ll ever meet someone who finds that creepy.
Thank you Furry community! I did not expect to be thanking you, and feel pretty weird about it, but thank you.
