So according to identity culture, if you identify as a rabbit, all must accept your identity. Can an employer discriminate against someone because of their identity? I see new avenues in employment law.

But as for abuse of children, encouraging and allowing children to transition to the opposite sex is also abusive, as is sex education which schools them in various perversions.
 
I know I saw furries in person at anime conventions in the 90’s… but I know there has been furry art since at least the 80’s, so I’m sure the costumes go back at least that far as well.

I was at Walmart earlier this year and saw big giant furry masks in those big bins. It’s definitely way more mainstream than it was mumblemumble years ago.

You’re strawmanning me so bad it almost hurts.

I think that the attitude which accepts these actions will eventually accept other actions. I didn’t ever say anything about any of these people doing anything to children at all ever. Not sure where you got that.

You can and probably will accuse me of a slippery slope. We’ll see in 50 years. I hope I’m wrong. But there was once a day when no fault divorce wasn’t a thing. Now here we are with gay marriage. Sometimes the slope is actually slippery.

It’s been around for a while. If you want a decent rundown, Fredrik Knudsen does go into the history of the community, but it obviously includes some of the fetish stuff, though if I remember correctly, he obscures, leaves out, or just mentions the really perverted stuff. I won’t link it, though, given the nature of the subject, but if you don’t mind, it is a really interesting video.

I just want to make it 100% clear that I am a real cat, not otherkin!
 
I bought a couple of those masks for Halloween or rock festival wear. I didn’t think of them as being furries specifically. Then again I also have a bear costume and a chicken suit that I wear out for Halloween or rock festivals or wherever appropriate.
 
I was into that a bit. Some are into it for a sexual thrill, I was in it because it was easier to draw than cartoon people.
 
I just think it’s just about them wanting love and acceptance and they found a group of people just like them who will accept them
 
If it wasn’t for all the sex stuff that purportedly goes on at their gatherings, I’d go just because I think it would be fun to be running around a hotel dressed up as animals.

A friend of mine posted a video of a furry convention opening procession one time where they all line up and walk around the ballroom to music. It was really cute.
 
Why are we accepting fetishes expressed, while living in society?
Wear your furries at home. This stimulates a trillion possiblities in my mind. It’s unhappy
 
Lord,
We need you now! Forget prophecies! Just come Lord Jesus. OR strengthen Your church to fight evil and help heal the broken hearted w aYour love.
In Jesus name
Amen

That is understandable, considering your CAF username and avatar. 🐻

(Edit: Just saw your earlier post – reading this thread in reverse.)

I too think it would be fun, except those suits must be dreadfully hot.

There are people who do take this stuff to the length of a fetish, but there are also far more people for whom it is a hobby or something in-between.

It’s a costume hobby that can get really out of hand, kind of like the Civil War reenactors, the comic-con enthusiasts, or the Society for Creative Anachronism (which apparently started as a costume party for a graduating historian of daily life prior to the 17th century that became just too much fun to give up) and so on.

There are some who actually do have a fetish or some kind of species dysphoria (yes, that is a real condition), but as much as they draw the most attention, they’re rather rare.

It is cultural appropriation…TOTALLY!!

Seriously, when someone self-identifies as “less than 100% human,” that’s a gravely confused person.
If you go around seriously telling people you belong to an ethnic group you don’t belong to, for some reason people realize there is something wrong there. How this doesn’t apply to people who can’t accept their gender, let alone their SPECIES, I do not know. Your heart goes out to them, but that doesn’t mean people who wish they’d been born a kitten ought to be wearing fake ears and polyester fur everywhere they go.

The term ‘furrie’ has a very broad range of meanings. I’ve seen it applied to people who were no more than fans of funny-animal cartoons or comics.

Yes, there are fetishists: but those are only part of the ‘furry fandom’. I don’t know how large a part, but please don’t assume everybody called a ‘furrie’ is a fetishist.
 
Clearly I am out of touch and behind the times. Thanks for filling me in!
