      I’m a furry ally, but not a furry myself. I don’t engage in the community, but I appreciate their work. Furries get a bad reputation and too much hate, and we shouldn’t bully them into submission.

        Yeah, jokes aside, I agree with that. I think it’s funny how people are as quick to label anyone supportive of anthro anything as a furry as they are to hate on actual furries themselves.

          Let’s be honest here. Wanting to be a talking animal isn’t really any less weird than wanting to yiff one.

          Trying to distance yourself from the latter by claiming the former is a futile effort.

            lol I don’t think most furries want to be talking animals any more than rpg players or cosplayers want to be fantasy characters. I’m sure some do but definitely not all
