Why do so many people feel bothered about this? It's not like the comunity is associated with a political party or something due to this. Also it's a meme comunity and this is a meme, what did you expect?
Eh. Furry is one of the few punching bags that people feel it's safe to attack nowadays. I've seen some people say that that attitude just a modern expression of homophobia.
I feel if you're still making fun of furries at this point and not just ignoring them and moving on with your life, you need to pull yo ass out of 2005 and get new jokes. That Vanity Fair article was like almost 20-fucking years ago.
Edit: I take that back after looking it up, it was OVER 20 fucking years ago.
What article?
The Vanity Fair article that invented furries.
I'm confused, maybe I need more backstory? The people in that article called themselves furries, didn't they?
On average day-to-day surfing, yes, totally agreed, but at the same time have you seen the Flashgitz crusade videos? Because, IMO, they're pretty hilarious and I kind of want them to keep going.
But making jokes about furries online is funny freedom is slavery tomfoolery is not allowed and shitposting is now illegal
literally 1984
2 + 2 = 5
I compare the reaction to that Seinfeld episode where George gets a massage from a male therapist and then spends the rest of the ep flipping out cuz he got a mild chub from it. People who freak out don't like that it made them horny-adjacent
It's a shame really. Those people are afraid of exploring themselves in case they find out things they don't want to admit.
Wrong take on my end at least. Doesn't feel relevant to me in the least bit. I'm secure in my sexuality, but I don't think sexualizing animals is funny no matter what. It's cringe every time.
Welp, apologies for offending the furries who down voted.

I'm going to send you to the English language gulag you can spend time thinking about what you have done comrade to say such inflammatory things about the English language comrade.
