The thread that would not die!
I woke up this morning realizing I’d made a grievous category error with this post! “Furry” is what the fans call themselves, yeah? Shit, I got no problem at all with folks doing whatever. Dress up, cosplay, sexytimes in cat ears, whatever. Totally no problem with furries as human beings. I was conflating that term with the actual anthropomorphic characters, with whom I cannot connect at all.
Unless they’re Planet of the Apes apes. Or any of the Star Wars aliens that are anthropomorphic animals in all but name only. Or they’re Usagi Yojimbo, which I read and enjoyed. Or Samurai Cat, which I’d forgotten about until I started typing. Or that old Albedo series, which I followed really closely and kind of forgot featured animal-people.
So, anyway, apologies! I absolutely do not hate furries. I was super lazy with my language and that’s on me.
