As a furry, I, too, think that this is very sad. He's probably an awesome guy, and his parents should accept him how he is.

>>316038
Why do you hate your parents?

why is Dwight from the Office in this pic?

Well it's up there.

>>316053
Because they're intolerant and homophobic.

>>316065
You don't respect them why should they respect you?

>>316038
His parents let him in their house and tolerate his presence. You can't expect people to give any more than that.

They even bought him dog food!

>>316063
Uggh fuck that one hurts.

My life is just a series of cringes in response to things like this. I really need to stop playing vidya and having nerdy hobbies.

>>316088
I respected them before they turned into assholes.
>>316096
Or maybe they don't. Maybe this was his coming-out, and they kicked him out after. I don't know the backstory.

>>316038
How is it like to have sex in a fursuit?

>>316113
And they respected you before you turned into a circus sideshow.

>>316122
It's amazing. Much more exciting than without. It gets kinda hot, though.
>>316126
>circus sideshow
You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.

in case you didnt notice: someone (his boy-/girlfriend?) took the picture. furries are social people. they just have a weird fetish; that is all. his parents have probably more problems with him being a homo than a furry.

a straight autist without sexual fantasies is much worse.

Hilarious fursuiting time? Hilarious fursuiting time.

Why can't he just keep his creepy fetishes private?
Seriously, i haven't told my parents i like fapping to loli and i don't really want to.

>>316183
Awww... I feel bad for that poor fur. :(

An other sad picture is one of those "traps", like they like to name themselves, posing in his "trap" costume between his dad and mom. Dad is the most disappoint dad ever. I completely understand it, if my son was a "trap", I'd beat him until he is fixed.

>>316193
Show us one of those. Never seen one.

>>316133
Wearing a fursuit displays your fetish for everyone to see. Im a furry, you wouldnt catch me dead in one. Why? Would someone with a diaper fetish go up to their parents in nothing but a shitty diaper? No. Being a furry is not a way of life. Its a fetish. Stop defending the act of showing off a fetish.

>>316193
By beat you mean repress your homosexual fantasies, right?

>>316198
Sorry, I didn't save it. The "trap" was in some japanese schoolgirl costume.

>>316183
Wow, he does that to my kid and I fucking destroy him.

He's a troll, no one could be that stupid to think people wouldn't react with disgust. Ignore.

>>316191
I don't. He started doing bizarre shit in public and people freaked out. I'm all for fursuiting, I don't own one myself because poverty, but doing it publicly is just a bit weird and honestly if you expect everyone to be totally mellow about a guy strolling through the grocery store in a mascot costume, you're probably retarded.

>>316207
Anger issues much? Chill.

>>316206
No, I mean hitting him until things get fixed in his head. I have nothing against homosexuals, but I think "traps" are psychiatric cases (perverts or something).

>>316224
OH YEAH, BECAUSE IT IS COOL TO TRAUMATIZE A LITTLE GIRL XD XD

You are so edgy.

>>316202
It doesn't matter if it displays the "fetish" (it's also a lifestyle, btw), because there's nothing sexual or gross about wearing a fursuit. It's not like going outside in a BDSM thing, or with a shit-diaper.
>>316213
I feel bad because the kid is crying. I'd be REALLY sad if a kid was scared of men, in my fox costume.
>>316224
Now that's adorable!

>>316230
Oh you. What exactly is wrong with a bit of perversion? Would you beat him if he was into BDSM or feet?

>>316133
how DO you have sex in a fursuit?
is there a zipper hidden in all that fur or something? velcro?

Fursuit furries are broken in the mind.

They literally cannot comprehend that people don't respect others who wear dog costumes to become closer to the canine that they really are.

>>316239
Nonono, I'm not in support of what is being done at all but I think 'destroying' them is a bit over the top.

>>316250
You cut slits in them. One of the dick, one for the ass.

i don't like where this thread is heading.
Can't we just post more images of furfags being pathetic in public?

>>316242
>Would you beat him if he was into BDSM or feet?
No, because those are fetishes, not psychiatric sickness (like thinking you are a girl to the point of taking hormones). What I mean is you have to be crazy to do those kind of things (also, I don't think taking hormones is healthy).

>>316262
He is probably a pedo and have a boner while scaring the kid. Same for that pic someone called "adorable". What is "adorable" in a grown up man wearing an animal suit and getting patted by a little girl ? It is creepy as fuck if you want my opinion.

So yes, I wouldn't hesitate to destroy -yes, I keep that strong word- one that approach a kid. Same thing with those so called "traps".

>>316293
No because sad furfags will think they're being cool, courageous or funny

>>316275
It provides awesome oppurtunities for lulz when people do bring it irl though.
>>316296
You are a weird, angry, repressed person. Trapping really isn't much different from other fetishes or body modification. It's just achieving what you want to look like through whatever means are available, in this case hormones. Also assuming he is a pedo is paranoid and silly.

>>316296
>He is probably a pedo and have a boner while scaring the kid.
Ridiculous. We want to be accepted by kids.

>What is "adorable" in a grown up man wearing an animal suit and getting patted by a little girl ?
Everything you just said is adorable. They're both having fun, in a cute and non-sexual way.
>>316309
Not being scared to show your lifestyle in public, despite being hated, is pretty cool and courageous.

Poor Murricans

>>316328
It's pretty cool and courageous to hit on 12 year old girls, huh?

>>316318
That orca or whatever it is is scary as FUCK.

>>316347
I don't see anybody doing that in this thread.

>>316328
I don't like you much.
>>316347

Yes, someone is within a foot of a child, obviously they want to rape the kid.

>Can't into analogies
Say I'm a pedophile. I like little girls. It's my lifestyle, and should be respected, so it should be perfectly normal for me to go out and try to fuck little girls in a park.

I respect all subcultures, all creeds.

I may not completely understand furries, but I do not hate them.

>>316357
Why?
>>316366
It's VERY different, and you know it. Kids can't consent, but adult furries can.

>>316366
Furries don't fuck other furries in parks, though.

>>316371
Maturity on my 4chan? GTFO

>>316328
>We want to be accepted by kids.
No, you want to be trusted by kids. God knows why.

>They're both having fun, in a cute and non-sexual way.
I think you can't really tell for that disguised guy. But I guess he has something to hide to wear a halloween suit like that.

>>316376
Ok, say I'm into exhibitionism. That should be perfectly natural and respected, so I should be able to go out into a mall and just fuck some girl.

>>316380
I'm sure there are exhibitionist furries.

>>316366
Except that's a shit analogy that is not only stupid you also did a bad job of communicating what you were saying. See, furry is some sick sick shit, but it's victimless, entirely unlike pedophilia. Also not all of the furries are into it entirely sexually. I for one have had a totally nonsexual interest in being an anthropomorphic canine since I was in the 4th grade. I think that's the case for public fursuiters. Personally not something I would do but I don't think there's really a sexual element at play to most who fursuit in public.

>>316403
That's still not a proper analogy.
A proper analogy would be if you walked around with a shirt saying you were into exhibitionism.

>>316403
I'm not going to deny the HUGE majority of furshit in general is sexual, but most of public fursuiting does not have a sexual element.

>>316389
>God knows why.
Because I feel they understand and respect me more than adults. And they're playful, like me.
>>316403
It's still pretty different. A fursuit isn't sexual in nature. If 2 furries were fucking in public, that would be wrong. Not because of the suits, but because they're having public sex.

>>316224

The sad thing is the kid thinks the guy in the suit is just acting for shits and giggles or for minimum wage or something.

Little does he know...

>>316410
I'm sorry, do furries go around simply wearing a shirt saying "I'm into furries"?

>>316032
I don't get it. I see an austere woman, a bearded man looking at the ground and a person dressed as some sort of animal with a Christmas hat on. There is a book case in the background and the room looks tidy albeit decadent. What am I missing? What do the pieces make when put together?

>>316328
>Ridiculous. We want to be accepted by kids.
I'll bite the bullet on this one...

"I begin with the young. We older ones are used up but my magnificent youngsters!"
-Adolf Hitler

>>316423
Yes. That's what the fursuit is.

>>316423
That's pretty much what a fursuit is.

>>316207
..That was a trap? I thought it was just a random cosplay and the dad was disappointed his daughter was a weeb

>>316430
>>316431
No, it's quite a bit different. Shirts != fursuits

>>316439
And wearing a fursuit in public != having furry sex in public.

>>316431

So if that's true exhibitionists should be able to just walk naked with a hard on all the time. They're just expressing their lifestyle right?

>>316426

Are you stupid? Obviously the parents are expressing disappointment over their son (daughter?) being a furfag.

>>316439
It's a wearable, nonsexual item that broadcasts your like of something.
>>316445
Once again, not all furry stuff is sexual. And being naked and wearing a costume are really far from each other.

>>316444
Being an exhibitionist does not mean you solely want to have sex in public. They could just enjoy the expose.

Furries who wear fursuits are just enjoying the exposure of being in public and pretending they are animals. Furries are exhibitionists.

What the actual fuck is going on with this world.

>>316465
You're wearing something different from the norms of society and you fucking know it. You're retarded if you think it's natural.

>>316468
The difference being that there is nothing inappropriate about wearing an oversized animal costume, whereas walking around naked is wholly inappropriate and illegal.

>>316479
What would be the point in my wearing it if it was normal? You think I'd get as much attention then?

>>316486
Oh, but it shouldn't be! They're just expressing their life style and culture!

>>316479
Did I say it was natural? Hell no, it's weird as hell.

>>316494
And what's your rationale for saying that being naked is just as appropriate? "It can be done in the same method" is not a valid answer.

Well I need to take a shower and get to my classes. 'Tis been a fun thread, I shall see you on the 'morrow. Also fellow furry I said I didn't like much: I find you a teensy bit over the top. It's cool though, you're an okay guy.

Why do you think nudist colonies exist? It's clearly a natural state of life and shouldn't be covered up by clothes! It should be accepted more in society as there is nothing unnatural about nudity!

>>316426
The house looks... lower socio economic to put it lightly... The appliances, food stacked on the walls, holes on the fathers knees, the patchy paint work in the corner.

This does not look like a house of means and its quite likely these people have seen their share of hard times.

Enter an unimpressed mother and a beaten and disappointed father.

In the midst of all this is a son. Standing there in front of the camera. In a suit that completely conceals the entirety of his being. Creepy huge anime eyes ever staring with no hint of genuine emotion.

A mask to hide his humanity.

The parents blame themselves.

They realise that life hasn't been easy, but they wonder to themselves what went so wrong that their son sees the need to hide his true existence.

The wonder if they could have been better parents to help their son be comfortable and accepting of himself.

They wonder if it isn't too late to set things right in his mind.

But they know the damage is done.

Whatever they did, its been done and can't ever be right.

They blame themselves for what is standing in front of them.

Perhaps they are right. Perhaps they are wrong.

The problem is that this is what they believe. And nothing can make it right.

>>316525
Well I might as well go and stab children while they play in the sand pit.

>>316534
You still haven't made a point. First you were talking about exhibitionists, who do it for sexual gratification but aren't accepted. Now you're talking about nudists, who do it as a lifestyle and ARE accepted. If anything, you're proving that furries should be allowed to fursuit as a lifestyle.

>>316183

Looks like a store mascot to me.

I've always hated furries up until this past year, when I actually met some. They pointed out that I either wear an Iron Man suit, swedish military uniform, or samurai garb wherever I go, and asked me how that's different. They had a point. Still don't think it's attractive though.

>>316566
Yes, nudists are accepted because they live in nudist colonies and nowhere else. Meanwhile, you furries parade your faggotry everywhere. If you want to be accepted, live in a Furry Colony.

>>316561

Hurr, which one breaks laws/hurts people.

I'm not a furry but you're a moron.

>>316561
>implying stabbing doesn't affect anyone who doesn't let it affect them
>implying nudity does affect anyone who doesn't let it affect them

But then you're probably one of those people who think children are property so I can see how you'd be confused.

Furries are different because there is a permanent fetishistic stigma attached to the community. No other community is so screwed over its own identity. You shouldn't probably feel bad for cosplaying if you only do it for events and such since there's no bad reputation attached.

How come Furries does not realize how fucking ridiculous they look prancing around in their costumes? I'm all for consenting adults doing whatever fucked up shit they want in private, but why do these people feel it's necessary to display their creepy ass fetish in public? And if you're one of those hypocrites who claims it's not a sexual thing, please explain the motivation behind such behaviour.

>>316618
Same reason people enjoy making statements anonymously. Sometimes it takes a mask to truly reveal who you are.

>>316578
>I either wear an Iron Man suit, swedish military uniform, or samurai garb wherever I go

If you're that fucked up, you really have no business commenting on furries.

>>316630
Why would one want to make the statement "I am a creepy fuck wearing an animal costume in public"?

>>316578
>I either wear an Iron Man suit, swedish military uniform, or samurai garb wherever I go

WHAT THE FUCK

Why?? How well adjusted can you possibly be if you do this enough (which implies you think this should be normal or socially acceptable)? Do you have a job?

>>316653
As I've said before, they don't think they are, they think they're being "fun".

>>316672
>they think they're being "fun"
We are. There's a reason why people love mascots, and don't hate them. They're cute, furry, and funny. It's the same with furfags, except we also enjoy the furry buttsex.

>>316672
Which means they are socially inept creeps who should be subjected to mandatory euthanasia.

It's for the greater good.

>>316561
Give up already weakling? Yeah thought so.

Done showering, this will probably really be my last comment.

>>316537

See, the difference is that she knew the difference between a fetish and a lifestyle, and didn't feel the need to display her fetish to the public. I respect her for that. If furries were a bit more private, there would be less hate for them.

>>316669
I do. I obviously don't wear it to my job, I wear my work uniform. As long as I'm in some kind of uniform I feel fine.

>>316686
Stay at Disneyland and sports events then. Outside of those settings you just look creepy.

>>316686
There's a time and a place for mascots, nobody likes when some creepy fucker in a costume notorious for being fetishistic shows up out of nowhere and starts harassing people.

>>316618
Consider the absurd bullshit women do and parade around. Low-cut tops, high-cut skirts, thongs, caked on make-up, shaving the majority of their body, etc, etc. And, why? Overt sexual display. The only difference is how common it is.

>>316686

And usually they appear only in contexts where people are supposed to be excited and not care that there's a sweaty guy in a purple tiger costume hugging their kids. When I'm in public and a guy in a fursuit swaggers up to me, my first instinct is to run. I guess just put on a pharmaceutical company t-shirt so it looks like you're just a guy having fun with his job instead of some guy in a fursuit out looking for children to 'entertain.'

Check and...

those are costumes, not uniforms
also, have you considered therapy? i think you have body image issues

>>316718
>The only difference is how common it is.
Not really. The reason it is more common is because it is socially acceptable, whereas a Furry is instantly recognized as a creepy pariah to be avoided like the plague.

>>316729
>>316735

Oh man, you're one lucky bastard.

YOU. ARE. MENTALLY. RETARDED.
If you can't understand what CONTEXT is.

when i found out that that girl in that viral was a furfag i realized the real issue wasn't her father beating
the issue was her father not beating her enough.

>>316618
The motivation goes something like this: I have an affinity for animals, I've always enjoyed them very much, and prefer their company slightly to the company of people. Also for inexplicable reasons I fantasized about being an anthropomorphic canine since grade school. Furthermore I have always felt like an outsider, and had a fair bit of social anxiety and self esteem issues throughout most of my life. Fursuiting puts me into a community where I feel I actually belong, these people have gone through many of the same trials as me, have similar interests, and are very welcoming. It also puts up a mask. I no longer have to fear messing up and being ridiculed and hated, I have assumed an identity apart from my day to day life. I can open up, be playful, act wacky, and just have a good time without worrying about the repercussions and what people will think of me so much.

>>316743
And why is one socially acceptable whereas the other isn't? They're both overt sexual displays, if we're to set aside the fursuiters who don't get off on it.

>>316711
>>316712
>>316720
I just want to play, that's all. I can understand why you wouldn't like it, but saying I'm "creepy" is just mean and wrong. Learn to accept differences that don't hurt anyone, peoples.

>>316742
I've been in therapy several times for unrelated things. Every single time they've told me there's nothing actually wrong with me, and that I'm just a dude who likes dressing up. I don't know where you're from, but that's pretty normal around here.

>>316753
Ah. So It's sort of like 4chan, aye?

Tell me, whats the furry equivalent of /v/?

>>316743
>more common
>socially acceptable
Spoilers: the exact same thing.

And you are mentally retarded if an anonymous image-board makes you angry.

Also:

>Implying you didn't stay in the thread just to read how you get told by me.

You and your people (furries) have tormented me and thousands of other people to the point of madness and depression with your insanity. That is definitely not harmless.

>>316767
... You're not Dani Ratikainen are you?

>>316757
Because I'm comfortable with one and not with the other. I might make up all kinds of "reasons" but this is what I really mean.

>>316784
And they say furries love drama. Ahaha. What a faggot you are.

>>316773
Bingo.

>>316757
>overt sexual displays
Not necessarily. It's just that a lot of girls want to "look good" if it simultaneously makes them look sexy, even better. I have no sexual attraction towards women, but definately think that they are very beutiful in makeup, dresses and jewelry.

>>316761
you know i get off to a bunch of weird shit
lolicon, monstergirls various guro comics
the difference between you and me is I'm not deluded enough into thinking its not creepy or weird
I have the tact to keep that shit to myself and not shove it down other peoples throats.

>>316770
It really is a lot like 4chan. And hell I don't know.... a dark alleyway where the furries whisper 'ps3hasnogaems' before delivering a crushing blow to your head and urinating on you as you lay stunned on the ground. Then they call you a fucking casual as they walk away.

>>316785
The fact that you know who that is is bad in itself.

>>316785
Nope. Don't even know who that is.

the amount of retard in this thread is humongous, and the funny thing is that i can't really come up with any better arguments than the clearly faulty ones others have posted.

but in all seriousness, it would take a lot to make me ever respect a person who publicly wears a fursuit. to me, it displays the same mental retardation as some random weird christians shouting on the streets about their religion (you know the type) (also maybe the analogy is bad, i know most of the other ones itt are). it's not normal and it does not belong in real life, what you do in your bedrooms is no business of mine but at least act human in public.

>>316761
You and your people (furries) have tormented me and thousands of other people to the point of madness and depression with your insanity. That is definitely not harmless. I can't forgive that.
Bronies are reaching similar levels of pure evil, we'll see who wins.

>>316767
I am from Canada
no, dressing up in public is not normal. Dressing like a furry will likely bring violence. Dressing like anything else requires context from an appropriate event

>>316813
>me and thousands of other people to the point of madness and depression with your insanity

Dude... what.

>>316806
Oh I'm in no way denying that, I am on /r9k/ after all.
They just sounded so... similar.

Now tell me your story, how did you come to know Dani?

>>316790
Right. Which is fine. Some people feel the same about homosexual couples being affectionate. Or any sort of public display of affection. Or, hell, dancing.

>>316799
here
>>316790
My prophecy came true. I must be a wizard.

>>316827
Used to go to furry threads to fap, came across Clint, followed him around for a while, then came across Dani. What a character.

>>316843
That's just confirmation bias.

>>316799
Maybe. But, honestly, thong underwear isn't exactly about an asexual aesthetic, is it?

>>316818
Okay. Well let's just say I live in an area where there's some kind of "event" happening every day, most of which I don't even know about, where if someone asks what the fuck I'm doing I can brush it off as something for anime club or say there's a comic signing or something.

What's funny is, I have literally never received a negative response. People generally think it's "cool" that I'm "being myself".

>furries

Oh lord. Enjoy your shitty, confused life.

>>316850
Yes. I find it strange that the majority of /b/'s interesting tripfags come to the furry threads.

With me it started around November last year. I came to the threads to make a few vague attempts at trolling, i developed a furry fetish and now I simply just follow along with the conversations, as there is very little fapable material being posted.

>>316810
What does normal have to do with anything? Do you piss yourself like a nervous little Chihuahua any time something out of the ordinary happens?

man even transgendered people look down on you guys
i was talking to one the other day and when I made the comparison or gender confusion to species confusion he (or is it she?) was massively offended by that comparison.

>>316874
I would have to agree, but that's just worn in a visible public manner by horny 16-year-olds and hookers.

>live in canada
>if I went outside with my hair spiked and looking "goth" like, i'd be yelled at or heckeld
>If someone from my area seen a furfag they'd try to shoot them

>>316916
Considering being any other Earth-dwelling species than human would mean a massive downgrade in intelligence, I'm not surprised. The species closest to us intellectually are retarded in comparison.

>>316859
Really? 799 is now arguing that girls dressing up like pic don't do it for sexual reasons because he doesn't want to admit that he's just not comfortable with furries and that there isn't anything more to it.

Meant the other way around btw. I was 790

>>316916
Pfthaha, from a transgendered person. People so terrified of being outside of societal norms that they'd mutilate their genitalia rather than have the balls (hurr) to be a dude in a dress.

>>316950
I am female, and I know I don't wear makeup to "attract potential mating partners". I wear it because it makes me look prettier, which makes me more confident. I feel naked without it. And I pick the clothes I find pretty, even if they're uncomfortable.

Speaking of furries, there's this extremely attractive and non-nerdy looking girl at my school that always has some sort of tail attached to her pants. Is she a furry? Everything about her screams "average slut college girl," but the tail really throws me off.

>>316945
Otherkin are probably no more delusional than people who feel they were "meant to be born another gender". Like the universe or your chromosomes just got confused.

>>317009
Ask her next time, but personally I think she does it for the purpose of being "Independant XD".

>>317034
She doesn't look like the type of girl who would give a fuck about anything but boys and drinking. I'm serious, she's amazingly normal looking.

>>316997
It's still a sexual thing. You say yourself
>to look prettier
You sure as hell don't mean that in the sense of a pretty picture or a pretty landscape. You mean like a pretty girl.

>>317009

This implies meaning. I am an MtF, and I know it's probably some sort of brain malfunction. The effect is that I feel extremely uncomfortable with my own body. Bringing it more in accordance with my internal body image significantly reduces stress, which in turn means less depression and suicide risk. Not that me offing myself wouldn't please a lot of close-minded people.

>>316997
And I'm sure your idea of pretty deviates even a bit from what others would happen to consider attractive, right?

The hell was this?

>>317055
True. Pretty girl because I am a girl. If I were a christmas tree, I'd wear decorations.

>>317075
Same guy. I absolutely, 100% support that. If a person feels genuinely uncomfortable with their lesser anatomy, more power to them. Most I speak with, though, want to meet with an expected gender role. It's disgusting.

I'm honestly I tolerant person. I don't wish death on people for their race or their choice between men and women, but I would happily burn all furries alive.

>>317091
Of course what I find attractive is due to the culture I was raised in, so there's bound to be some overlap between my tastes and the tastes of others. But I do not obey the commandments of some fashion guru or anything like that. I just pick what I like.

>>317100
Pretty from whose perspective? I'm willing to bet your notion of pretty closely aligns with what your average, heterosexual male wants to stick his dangly parts in.

>>317100
Are you dumb or pretending to be?

Anyway here's a tip: you look better without makeup. Every girl does.

>>317137
So, functionally, what separates your presentation from some fursuiter's?

>>317150
I'd argue that what most men associate with femininity belongs largely to the artificial shit they cake on their face. How else to explain the whole "trap" phenomenon?

>>317106
Well to be accepted socially, one really hasn't got much choice but to adopt the gender role most associated with ones body. Thus voice training, study of mannerisms and such are more or less mandatory. I'll still be a pretty tomboyish chick though, I study physics and love the vidya.

>>317186
Best of both worlds. It's just a shame we're so constrained. It's not like that everywhere.

>>317157
People don't throw up in their mouths when I wear what I like in public.

>>317255
The thing is, I don't even care if they're honest about. If they would say
>The culture I belong to just doesn't like it
I'd be totally cool with it. It's when they go
>The culture I belong to doesn't like it for these perfectly good reasons that I just made up and that don't hold up anyway
that gets my blood boiling.

Watching people lie to themselves is what makes me puke.

>>316213

Woah! A SPAS-12 with the magazine tube extension, folding stock, stock hook, AND the barrel thread protector!

Holy tits, what a find! That's like a $1200-1500 shotgun right there, yo.

Even more if it's a lever safety.

>>317312

After saying and realizing that...I find myself quite upset and jealous that a man who owns a fursuit owns a shotgun I've been trying to buy for the last decade.

>>317243
It's pragmatic conformism. I pick what I like within the confines of social acceptability. While people think I dress in an odd and unusual manner, it's not like I advertise that I'm going to molest their children, which is pretty much the vibe being broadcast on all frequencies while wearing a fursuit.

I know of a certain picture that tops this..

Go to 4chan archives and see what was posted on /v/.. There is a man, with his children, his wife..

Its so sad.

>>317339
You live in the United States, right? Honestly, unless you're in the deep south or bumfuck midwest, you can "be yourself" without any negative consequences. Unless your skin's especially thin.

>>317340
I find their home more depressing than the unwelcome fursuiter in it. OP picture guy...had a hard life.

>>316879

HINT: HE'S IN LAS VEGAS OR LOS ANGELES.

>>317426
What do you think of people who hang their tools on the wall?

Imma just use this thread to ask: Any furries or bronies here going to Midwest Furfest? A few people backed out on me and now I have extra room space


On OP's picture: Yes it truly is quite sad. No self respecting furry would push something like that on their parents. I'll be damned if mine ever find out at all. There are shitty people in each community, it just can't be helped. Just think of all the faggots who give this site a bad name. You most likely aren't one of them. Hell, you probably hate them, don't you? It's the same with this.

like having sex, but in a fursuit

The problem with furfags comes when they want to turn their fetish into a lifestyle.
I'm a furry, I like fapping to anthros. Do I wear a fursuit? No. Do I roleplay as an animal? No. Is furry porn the ONLY thing I can fap to? No.
Seriously, if they stopped treating their fetish like some sort of fucking identity that they have to push down everyone's throat, people wouldn't hate them so much.

>>317784
>implying I'm the thing in the photo
>implying my dad has a beard like that

>>317014
Not correct. The difference between people who believe themselves to be wrongly gendered and 'otherkin' (which is such a stupid buzzword, by the by) is genetics.

A human is born from two humans procreating. Therefore, the offspring will always be human. Sometimes there are genetic defects that cause a person to not be the gender they mentally and/or physically, hence transgendered or 'wrongly gendered' people.

That is the point of difference. Regardless of what gender a person believes they should be, they are human, having come from two human parents (in a genetic sense; let's not get off-topic here). No child born from human parents could ever have a genetic defect that would cause them to be anything other than human. The belief that you should be some other creature other than human is just plain wrong on every single level.

>>317921

I don't know, bro.

Atavistic traits like tails, webbed hands, body-covering hair, and so on, can occur with some regularity. It's not beyond the bounds of reason that the brain could be subject to some atavistic alteration in development, and start to expect weird signals from the body.

We don't have the same kind of data on this that we do for transsexuals, so it's up in the air.

>>317580

she obviously just loved you guys, don't push her away.

>>317813
The same thing could be said for gays.

>>318058

To be fair, that's hardly the gays fault. End discrimination against the gays, and you'd essentially end gay culture.

I don't think the same could be said for the furries in this day and age. Maybe when we have genetic engineering that can actually DO what the furries want. But for now, nope.jpg

>>318019
True, but none of these things stop you from being human. Sure, some of these atavistic traits are similar in ways to traits of other creatures, but that does not make a person who might have said traits anything other than human. By that argument, anything that has wings is a bird, which is of course not true at all.

>>317921
Gender isn't genetically decided. Therefor, both are completely psychological.

And you are born without inherent psychology. While psychology has the capacity to shift brain structure.

>>318081
The entire "out of the closet into the streets" style movement is a relic from a time before the internet.

>>318083

Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's the same manner of disorder as transsexuality, just that it could well have a genetic or epigenetic basis.

what's so bad about furries?

if they wear fursuits to make children and other people happy and earn some money for it, I think it's a great way to earn money.

you don't even have to be a yiffing gay sex furfag.

>>318107
It is the same type of disorder. Both are simply self-reinforcing delusions. Zero genetic components, as people with actual, physical gender disorders don't act anything like "transgenders."

Sun, I am dissapoint.

>>318019 Atavistic
Except homo-sapiens didn't evolve from wolves, lions, tigers, foxes, bears (domesticated) horses, dogs, cats, or fucking whales.

>>318140

That's not entirely true. People who are born intersex report similar experiences to those are born transsexual.

And that people who discover they are transsexual, and that transsexual people act a certain way, will start to identify with that is hardly a point against it's biological basis. That's what people do when they find some 'in-group', they pretend to be more like the others in it.

>>318234

I don't know how the fuck it works. I'm just saying it's not unthinkable that it's got some biological basis in some cases.

>>318302
Memory is not a fixed record, it is a completely malleable interpretation. Memories can and will be redefined, buried, and completely fabricated. People attempting to remember events that happened yesterday are unreliable as fuck and exponentially more unreliable the older the memory they're claiming to recall.

I'm not sure what your second point was supposed to be, as it seems to support my argument more than your's.

>>318322
Except people with actual atavistic characteristics don't claim to be cute b/w wolves.

>>318363

There are studies that show transsexuals brains develop along lines more typical of the other gender. It could be that being a transsexual is the same as being some type of intersex, just without such obvious physical signs.

My second point is not really on either of our sides, it's a a wash, I think. I just felt it needed pointing out since it could be a confounding element. People who identify with a group will consciously or subconsciously go along with them, take on their traits, but they won't usually stick with a group that is not palatable to their deeper sensibilities over the long term. I don't think someone who is merely 'trans-curious' would stick with it long enough to get something done about it, though I don't doubt cases could be found.

>>318424
The study (singular) has no control group. It simply scanned men's brains, women's brains, mtf brains, and ftm brains and said, "YERP, DEYS WIT IDENTIFYD GENDRS BE SIMILR 2 PPLS WIT BORN GENDRS TRANSGENDR R 4 REALS."

The fact neuroplasticity and tabula rasa exist means said study can, at absolute best, say absolutely nothing.

>>317466
I mmmaaayyyy be interested. Would you mind telling me how much would that cost and what the dates are? I'm somewhere where I don't really want to go to midwest furfest's site.

>>316240
Best post ^
>>316202
>It doesn't matter if it displays the "fetish" (it's also a lifestyle, btw), because there's nothing sexual or gross about wearing a fursuit. It's not like going outside in a BDSM thing, or with a shit-diaper.
No by your logic you should be ok with people walking around in BDSM stuff as long as they are covering up any junk you should be fine with that. Being a furry is not something that makes sense to come out about. Gay people (like me) come out because they want to have a relationship with another consensual adult. No one needs to know if you and whoever you are with want to dress like animals. If that's your thing than whatever, but you are being absolutely retarded if you think you need to come out to your parents about it (I mean go ahead if you want to be stupid). Wearing a fursuit in public and wanting to be taken seriously is fucking dumb and there is no reason you need to do that. So expect people to think you are dumb. It's not the same as being gay. It's not a lifestyle in the same way. It's something you are very into, but do you see people in BDSM walking other people on leashes everywhere and expecting to be taken seriously just because that get their rocks off. And before you try to make a comparison I have seen before wearing a fursuit everywhere is certainly not the same as trans. You moron.
Btw why your logic BDSM people should dress however they want and not cover up anything actually because "that's their lifestyle"
I don't care what people do and I don't even really judge you for it, just furrys need to stop these retarded comparisons between them and LGBT people.

Look at how dissapointed the dad is, I know I'd feel the same.. but man.

All he wanted was a normal son, one who'd carry on his legacy and family heritage, be presentable and looked on a real man, go to college, get a girlfriend, have a wife and kids, be something he could be proud of.

Instead he got a son who likes to dress up as a furry animal while being buttfucked and rolling around in suits full of dragon dildos.

I can only imagine the shame he's going through in a rural area let alone knowing he failed as a parent.

Son I don't think you know what neuroplasticity involves. It still has a limit
As for tabula rasa I thought people stopped taking that seriously around the time of twin and language acquisition studies

>>318514
It's from the 18-20th in Chicago. If you preorder, its only $30 for all three days of the con, but $40 at the door. I have a room for the 18-20th. I'd say $50 for the three nights is all I really want which is a pretty good deal considering its a room in the con hotel.

Anyone else interested as well?

why are you people falling for the #1 thing that furries love to do.....debate with people

>>318996
Damn that's a good deal. It might be a bit awkward for me because I'm pretty sure I'd be one of the youngest people at the con, I'm only 18. Also how okay would it be if I brought along some weed? I totally understand if it's not okay I just think it would make things a bit more fun. What's the crowd staying with you like?

Gaah, I want to go to this but I'm looking at transportation costs and I really don't know if I'll be able to come up with the cash for them.
