I think it’s the fact that furries tend to bring their kink public. I have not consented to engage in your sex games. If he showed up to a ceremony in leather and a ballgag no one would be ok with it, but the fur suit is the equivalent and I’m expected to applaud.
Some do, many don’t. A fursuit is a costume, as a cosplayer in fandoms do, and I guarantee there are cosplayers that have sex in their costumes.
Knowing quite a few fursuiters there’s less of them that want to have sex in suit because it’s hot as fuck, makes you a lot more clumsy, and those suits are expensive as hell as they’re custom made.
So the distinction I feel here is that women are people. If a man wants to dress like a woman, sure, most people can interact with women in public, whatever. If you want to call them both, broadly, a form of cosplay, then drag is a costume that doesn’t fundamentally change much. Animals aren’t people.
I mean, Halloween is explicitly a cosplay event which subverts social norms. I think it’s pretty disingenuous to conflate Halloween with typical daily interaction
furry meet ups are explicitly a cosplay event which subverts social norms. i think it’s pretty disingenuous to conflate people with hobbies with sexual deviants.
A big part of this misconception is actually from That Episode. You can actually google the phrase That Episode. No need to even specify the show, just those two words are enough (but the show is CSI). There’s a bunch to read into if you’d like, but the important bit is that a big part of public opinion - which has only recently begun to change, and only in some parts of the internet - comes from That Episode’s portrayal of furries
I mean if someone gets off by not hurting or interacting with you then your consent isn’t important. What happens in someone else’s head is theirs. How they act toward others is important. Feel free to be skeeved out, tho.
We established that there is sexual and non sexual furries. As each of my examples is both non sexual and sexual for some people, it is impossible to deem the one as right and the other as wrong on that basis.
Interestingly it is you, that seems to consider animal suits and behaviour as a sex thing. So maybe you need to own up to your kinks you little furry.

But it’s not a kink for them.
I mean, no. It’s really not.
I do get what you’re saying and generally agree otherwise. That one was just a bit much.
I agree. I’ve seen furries in public and while I find them odd, I never saw any of their costumes as inherently sexual.
They do, though, and therein lies the non-issue.

except they don’t though, where are you coming up with this?
say someone is attracted to women, right? is every female body they see gonna be viewed exclusively through a sexual lens?
some people get kinky with ropes, are those inherently sexual too? where’s the line?

The fursuit is the equivalent??? I’m actually laughing rn people think this???
You sound like the kind of person that wants to ban drag story time at the libraries because “kids shouldn’t be exposed to someone’s kink”

so we should BAN HALLOWEEN

Oh sure, meetups are one thing. I’m only talking about out in public.

Would you say the same about police officers, nurses, nuns, motorcycle wear and so on?
If the body isnt indecently exposed i find it hard to draw the line, since everything and nothing is someones kink.
