    It’s interesting to look at cultural values now versus the past and wonder what the future will be like and what we (as in folks in the present) will be embarrassed about or scolded for. I definitely think Furries are one. (Edit: hating Furries I mean.)

    So many people think it is about beastiality. Sure, some Furries have fetishes related to being in fur suits and sure I bet there exists at least one Furry who is into beastiality but that’s not the norm at all. I think because people don’t know people who are Furries they either find out about them through fear mongering lies or they hear about the few times that actually bad Furries do something and assume it’s the norm.

    I fully expect my descendants to be embarrassed to bring their robot friends around me when I’m old because I’ll say something like “I used to be a programmer” and they’ll be like “you can’t say stuff like that, they take it as you saying you want to control them” and I’ll just be confused and apologetic.
