        Yeah, I mean what about being a furry indicates mental illness? (ignoring for a moment the negative connotation associated with mental illness by the original comment)

          People with sensory issues don’t like being touched, loud noises, bright lights, and extreme smells. In what situation could they cover themselves with padding and a giant mask/ sound attenuator that doesn’t touch their face that much? Fur suiting!

          All I see is unhealthy mental thought patterns. It screams mental illness. Many things attempting to be normalized these days seem like obvious mental illness.

        I don’t think it’s relevant and i think they said it because they think something is, like, morally wrong with people with mental illnesses.
