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.
it’s almost entirely subjective though, it’s reaching into uncanny valley for some people, and not for others, there’s just not much you can do about it unfortunately.
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.
No thanks 😬
See, that’s the difference between furries and normies: furries aren’t assholes for no reason =)

Depends heavily on the fursuits maker + the style the customer wants.
The asshole bit was basically “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all” but in a more… direct way.

Debatable
You can’t deny the craftsmanship 🤌
This one believes it to be a fetish.
