Not a furry either but I really appreciate just the sheer amount of effort these people put into the costumes. must take a lot of time and money to do but these people love what they do and go to these conventions where they have tons of fun. props to them!! ๐
Its one of those niche communities that makes me smile - a lot of creativity there. They're my kind of critters (absolute geeks and nerds).
I don't care for furries, but I actually dislike the common art style that Western furries use. They always have this aesthetic that make them look like knock-off DreamWorks characters. Not sure if they count as furries but I find animal-based characters in anime much cuter. Also, I'm not a huge fan of their R-18 stuff popping up on my feed.
I have lots of friends who are furries. I just tell them I'm too old and don't get it, but have fun.
To be clear: I harbor no resentment against furries. They have a right to do their thing, I just don't want to be involved.
If furry porn didn't exist, then I might have less of a prejudice against furries and furry content. But as it stands, I will actively avoid anything with the furry aesthetic, because the porn is too weird for me to stomach. You will never be able to remove that association; the damage is done. When I see video games that I might otherwise like, but the art is furry art, I think, "ah, that's a shame. Won't be playing that."
Idk, I can enjoy a good set of bunny ears or tail
...every furry i've known has been a cool person: i'm not saying it's universal but the fandom tends to attract geeky fun-loving personalities and those are my favorite kind of people to play with...
...as for furry sexuality (which of course isn't strictly synonymous with the fandom): well, it may not be my jam but neither are men, so i don't feel any differently about it than i do corset-rippers or gay erotica; as long folks keep their kinks tastefully discreet, go with the gods...

I can respect that they deserve to be treated a humans and still find it gross. because it's gross.
