applexenon-31 OP

I dont understand furries. People tend not to like things they dont understand. If someone could explain why people choose to act like animals (literally and/or otherwise), please do. Humans are the apex species. I dont see the need to devolve to something less.

applexenon-31 OP

And dont get me started on therians.

grandshadow-91

yea furries or therians are just generally interesting

grandshadow-91

i know right. you're literally not an animal so stop pretending like u are one

grandshadow-91

yess bro i swear being a furry is soo normalized

wittycandle-34

Idk, I haven't cared enough to really look into it. I think escapism bc they don't feel like they fit in society. It wouldn't make me think of them any less though

applexenon-31 OP

Escapism may be a cause, but wouldnt desocializing by acting like an animal push it even worse? Its like cutting yourself because of mental troubles. It just makes it worse.

applexenon-31 OP

Sure, it takes guts, but guts are nothing compared to a logical mind. If you havent got a logical mind, is there really anything behind the suit?

@grandshadow-91 i know right. you're literally not an animal so stop pretending like u are one

Interesting is different than desirable, but to each their own.

snowyorange-96

Human furries is cringe

@applexenon-31 Interesting is different than desirable, but to each their own.
grandquiver-69

Yh I meant specifically interesting, tho I'd agree it's weird

Yeah, there's a chance of it becoming a delusion, albeit a low one

Curiousity.

It turns them on because it's 'wrong'

jadetiger-51

It's a thing you can see in romance written by women.

jadetiger-51

lots of 'werewolves' or whatever.

jadetiger-51

or 'mafia boss' lovers.

jadetiger-51

the gift of sentience.

jadetiger-51

and people have been using it to fuck sheep.

@jadetiger-51 lots of 'werewolves' or whatever.
wittycandle-34

:Smirkk:

calmfrost-84

let them meow meow..or worf worf..or whatever

applexenon-31 OP

I have a logical enough mind to realize my own species. Check your facts, love.

@calmfrost-84 let them meow meow..or worf worf..or whatever
applexenon-31 OP

Or speak a language that belongs to mankind.

zestyheron-77

honestly? the definition of a furry means someone interested in anthropomorphs and animals. depends on how drastic. therians, as stated as the start of this post, actually feel and would identify as them. there's definitely a line between people who are weird, people who are furries/therians, and people who act weird as furries. it's honestly not my strong suit to talk about identities like this but dissing the whole is something i frown on

@applexenon-31 I dont understand furries. People tend not to like things they dont understand. If someone could ex…
quickbadger-36

It's okay to like animals like the ones furries do. What I hate about them is that they make it their whole identity Nd personality

quickbadger-36

It's okay to like something

applexenon-31 OP

Yes.

quickbadger-36

But not to that extreme

quickbadger-36

Like for example, I like dogs

quickbadger-36

Suddenly dogs pfp everything

quickbadger-36

Well, I don't really get the community

quickbadger-36

I do question them anytime I meet one

@quickbadger-36 Well, I don't really get the community
zestyheron-77

to each their own

zestyheron-77

people differ by a lot sometimes

@zestyheron-77 people differ by a lot sometimes
quickbadger-36

But to the extent of identifying Nd making what you like all about you?

quickbadger-36

That's a big differing

quickbadger-36

One quick question

quickbadger-36

Do they see themselves as those things :r_kermitcorner:

quickbadger-36

That would be devastating

zestyheron-77

the reputation they've built certainly makes it seem so 🥀 but its probably a fraction

zestyheron-77

not all of them

zestyheron-77

you can be a furry and be normal

@zestyheron-77 you can be a furry and be normal
quickbadger-36

So what's the point of being a furry

quickbadger-36

Eg. I like rice

quickbadger-36

But I don't need a word or something to describe or explain that

quickbadger-36

Why can't it just be idk simple

quickbadger-36

If I put it that way

@applexenon-31 I dont understand furries. People tend not to like things they dont understand. If someone could ex…
