sorry to be cringey but can we stop this idea that every furry is a sex hungry freak that likes bestiality and has really disturbing kinks. being a furry is just thinking anthropomorphic animals are interesting and cute. theres nothing inherently sexual about being a furry. just because someone says “im a furry” they arent necessarily confessing to you how they get horny for foxes with tits or diapers on dogs or something. so when u see someone make a fursona or draw an anthro animal, dont immediately think “they wanna fuck animals”. sometimes its just that….anthro animals….are fun to draw.
basically,
It’s especially worth talking about that there is a significant amount of furries that are children and minors, and projecting sexual things into that is extremely vile.
I wouldn’t call myself a furry these days, haven’t been one for a number of years, but in late elementary school through to maybe grade 9 or 10, I spent a lot of time drawing my little fursonas and interacting with the large community of other tweens with fursonas on deviantart. There was nothing freaky about it, we were all just kids who enjoyed drawing animals and having an animal character that represented ourselves. It was fun and innocent.
People thinking of child me and my online friends in a sexual manner is nauseating. That’s what folks are doing when they declare that every kid who likes drawing funny coloured dogs and pretending that’s them is actually doing it for sexual reasons.
also stop calling furries "furf@*s", it's a homophobic slur.
