What's wrong with having a furry mascot exactly? I mean the Japanese Air force had a furry mascot for one of their bases, not only is he a furry but also a femboy. His name is Omaneko (おまねこ)

Japanese Air Self Defense Force (JASDF)

Yeah I'm sure about that.

~~Google~~ Deepl's translation of the text in the first pic:

Cat with magical powers

Motif: “Nekozuka,” a tourist attraction in Omaezaki City

A member of the 1st Nyanya Police Force. He is currently stationed at the base because he wants to play with the radar dome.

  • He is 176 cm tall, or 40 m. He is good at sports, but not good in water.

  • He is a male.

Is that tall? I like it more now

It's ambiguous. Either above-average male height (by Japanese standards) or 23 times that.

Its 10cm more than me, I take it.

Ah wait, I get it now. Macrofalco moment.

I'm no scholar, but I believe when it's an anime furry you call it kemono
