You are a furry on some level

View attachment 262527

Liking any anthros makes you a furry on the most basic level at least.
If you like any of these, you are technically BY DEFINITION part furry:

Sonic
Zootopia
Looney Toons
The animal version of Robin Hood
Mickey Mouse
Aggretsuko
Animal Crossing

They’re all the same!
I looked up the definition of a furry... why does the internet do such a terrible job of portraying them? Fun fact: You can be a furry and hate fursuits. Hate sex. Hate the w e i r d stuff that the internet made into stereotypes for furries.

Another fun fact: Furries don’t go and fuck animals. Those are zoophiles. Not only is that illegal, but furries also despise zoophiles.

Like come on- look how harmless this lil bean is!
Cherish him while he lasts because after this you’re probably never gonna see him again!


I have a furry friend
He’s asexual. To non-furries, that might seem impossible.
Well fun fact
That’s the majority of the community. It’s just that the noisy part of the community is the part that likes fursuits and weird things

How can you see this

And absolutely hate it, want to see it burn? What reason can you possibly come up with?
Furries are very chill. It’s just the... excited ones that make the community look bad and make us misunderstood.
And the furries who bash people for not being furries... I mean they’re just kinda stupid- bleh

Comparing it to the gay community
Most furries are like the ordinary gays who quietly have a happy life in a gay relationship.
Those ‘excited’ furries are like the gays who do not shut the fuck up about their sexuality and treat it like their only personality trait-

I mean
I’m clearly a furry
Imagine if you lived with me. I wouldn’t just throw on a fursuit and try to suck your dick.
I’d just ask for headpats! Cats and non-furries do that too!
As well as other furries. Just try to understand us better-
Not by just looking up the definition of a furry (because it’s stupid on google and whatnot)
But by just... looking a lil deeper.
When you see a furry, put the pitchforks away and try to be civil and kind to them!
If they start getting horny- well then you can go get the torches


That’s uh
My rant for today
Love y’all :3

@Mama Looigi but sexuality and hobbies are different.
You can choose your hobbies, your sexuality is something that you are born with.
Just because someone is gay doesn't mean they have to be constantly bringing it up, but not bringing up your sexuality doesn't change the fact that it's your sexuality.
But if someone doesn't want to be a furry, they're not a furry. Just because I like, say, the design of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit does not mean I am a furry. I appreciate a good anthro design but I would not consider myself a member of the furry community, nor do I wish to be a part of it.

Is being a furry considered a hobby? I thought of it as a personality trait/preference thing just like sexuality :unsure:
It’s a bit difficult to debate things like this when they’re all just spectrums-

@Mama Looigi I would say that being a furry is an extension of your personality and interests, rather than being a personality trait in itself.

For example, I myself am a cosplayer. I wouldn't say cosplay is a personality trait, rather I would say my personality traits just lend themselves well to the hobby. I love cosplay, but I could give it up one day and I'd still be recognizably myself with all my traits, as opposed to if one day I decided "I'm not going to be the mom-friend anymore" if you know what I mean. lol.

All in all I would say it's a hobby, but one of those hobbies does mean a lot to a person and CAN sometimes help define them, like art, dance, writing, ect...

Sorry If I'm weird about this, I'm a psychology/sociology student so the concept of interest and personality are things I enjoy examining, lol.

I'm a furry myself on IMVU it's kind of fun, even though I'm "currently" straight (currently cause I'm getting tiredof being dumped for the 500th time)
 
Not be the mom friend anymore?
...
As a fellow mom friend, that sounds terrible ;O;

Also I don’t mind-
I also study psychology. But as an autist, I um... definitely have some struggles with sociology x3

Ah well
Hmm... Yea, I don’t really view furries as a hobby. I’d view furs hits as a hobby though, and almost in the same way as cosplay. The difference being that with furries, you generally create the character you ‘cosplay’ on your own-

Like uh
Just being a furry is... the same as sexuality. (Sorry I keep bringing up sexuality, it’s the easiest comparison-)
Doing other things related to it, such as gay or furry art- those are what I would view as hobbies
 
Screw off, I ain't no freak. Liking animals or thinking something that's anthropomorphic is cute doesn't make me want to fuck them.
 
@Mama Looigi I get that, but again the big difference is looking back centuries ago...
People were gay. People knew they were gay and couldn't change it. There weren't furries. You can't be born a furry, in the same way you can't be born a cosplayer, or a gamer, or... I dunno, a memer? XD

There isn't anything wrong with being a furry, and if you see it as an undeniable part of yourself, good for you, it's something you feel passionate about and there is nothing wrong with it. But as opposed to sexuality, you could one day decide "Hey I don't like this furry stuff anymore." But someone like me couldn't one day decide "this straight stuff isn't working for me, I'm going to be gay now." Because it's just not something I can change.
I think the best way to explain would be
sexuality= the psychological level. It's something in your biological makeup that is inseparable from yourself.
furries,cosplay, ect= the sociological level. It is something that the society you live in has exposed you to in one way or another that has become something that is a part of you, though a part that can technically be separated from yourself, or a part that you may not have at all if you were born under different circumstances. (Place, time period, ect.)

There are places in the world where people have been cut off from modern technology and advancement for centuries, and live nomadic lifestyles much like their ancestors. In those places you could most likely find at least one person who is gay. But you won't find a person who is a furry, as they have never been exposed to that concept, whereas sexuality is something that you just know you have regardless of what sort of study has been done in your culture.

It's good to have hobbies and interests, I have many and they mean a lot to me, but I could change them easily. I used to love the show Steven Universe, now I feel very "meh" about it, despite that having been one of my biggest interests for a solid 7 or so years. Interests can change; they won't neccesarily change but it's always a possibility. Psychology can't change, or at the very least, it's almost impossible to change in most cases.

@Mama Looigi Sorry haha, I tend to get quite swept up in debate, even though my intentions aren't malicious. And then I go on... and on... and on...
