    Not a subculture I have even the slightest understanding of, but hey…you do you.

      My wife’s good friend came out recently as a furry, and while she’s a really cool person, I cringe over some of her social media posts involving the fur suit. I’m just astonished that she’d post that where her poor grandma is going go see it. They’re certainly a proud people.

        It’s my understanding it’s not inherently sexual, is it? I mean I know that’s what we see a lot of online but I didn’t think they were all horny about it. So for some portion is just kinda like LARPing?

          I know there is sexual elements to some of it, but not all of it. I have no idea how to tell the difference.

            As far as I have heard, if someone is making social posts about a fursuit, it is almost certainly just a normal costume.

          The fandom is not based in any way on NSFW, all that content is just a consequence of rule 34 and the fact that the fandom is one of the largest fandoms online and exists mainly thanks to the internet and art. Also any irl sexual activity rarely involves a mursuit (sexual fursuit) because there’s no desire and they’re expensive (even a normal fursuit can reach $10000 pretty quickly).

          Also it’s generally agreed on that “coming out as a furry” is not really a thing, being a furry is just a hobby (or a job for some) not a sexuality, not a gender, just a hobby

      Wanting to be anything but a human makes sense to me.

      In the other hand, these people who pay thousands of dollars to watch other people run around on fake grass…what the fuck is that about
