Same. Y'all do you, but I've blocked every mention of "yiffy" around here. Not my jam.

Funny story! Went to a Halloween charity ball where you either dressed formal or wore a costume. Went in the men's room and this dude is grunting like he's seriously jacking himself. It was alarming, like, bro, you OK?

Giant fat man stumbles out of the stall. He'd been wrestling with his spandex to take a piss.

Friends and neighbors, that's dedication!

I also don't have to completely understand their ins and outs and complexities to know they're people who are worthy of respect for being other living people.

💜 Big true.

I don't get them either.

What I do know, however, is that most of the ones I've met seen like great people. The community seems extremely friendly and welcoming. They also seem to be intelligent and willing to step up to help.

Ultimately, if it makes them happy, and doesn't hurt anyone, have fun! I'm sure others look at me similarly, for my weird hobbies.

Look, you want the guy I know to fix your computer? Maybe deal with the wolf costume?

The furry community is one of the most accepting and open minded communities because they understand what it's like to be treated as outcasts and to be chastised for liking something that's completely harmless just because it's out of the norm. Most of the time it's not even a sexual thing for them, it's just something they like or something that makes them feel more comfortable out in public. It's a way to make their exterior to be exactly what they want it to be. So in that way I think they're pretty cool as a whole.

Honestly, is the exact opposite. Furries are pretty hot.

Yanno, because of all the fur.

I'm perfectly comfortable with taking it as far as "so long as it's all consenting adults, it's none of my fucking business, and I wish them all well."

If it's not my thing, no big deal. Some people like feet, and it's not my thing, so no big deal.

Even if I find it personally gross, again, consenting adults, no big deal. Some people are into watersports, but hey, so long as they're not leaving a mess or hurting each other, no big deal.

We've got enough trouble in the world without also trying to police what adults are doing in their goddamn personal lives. I yearn for a day in which more people could accept the "it's none of my fucking business" ethos.

Huh?

Yeah those fursuits look really hot to wear

why? i think they're cool, is there smth i don't know?

Same I’ve been to so many furcons and it’s a fandom full of geeks and nerds. The creativity of the community is awesome and it’s something you don’t see in any other fandoms. Them fursuits do be crazy expensive too and it’s really just a form of cosplay which is what people don’t understand.

I've blocked every furry community that hits my screen - not my cup of tea - but I also see quality posts from you all the time in the corners of Lemmy that I do frequent. You 100% belong here, to Lemmy at large and not just the furry subsets of it. 👊

That goes for all people
