I really wish people would read through a discussion thread before just posting randomly. I'm seeing the same questions asked (and answered) throughout the pages. It's annoying to have to answer a question more than once in the same thread.
...I don't worship sexy animal humans, and I consider myself in the furry fandom. It's this sort of thinking which annoys me, and I'm probably going to have to double-check this post before hitting the submit button to make sure I stayed as polite as possible about it.
Being a furry has nothing to do with sex or unmentionable acts (like yiffing, as someone mentioned before); it's simply just what people keep repeating over and over here:
Furries are people who like anthropomorphics. End of story.
Yes, there is a side to the furry community rated "M" for "mature", but it's nothing that you won't find in artwork/stories featuring humans.
Furries don't go out and have sex with animals; that's not what a furry is.
Most of us fall into the more innocent side of the furry community, which has nothing to do with the sort of things you (and many others who don't really know what it's about) are imagining. In reality, the more "mature" (and slightly disturbing) side of the furry fandom really only makes up about 5% of the entire furry community (if even that much).
Heck, that side of the community creeps me out, and I'm a furry, too. I can understand a little of why that would be creepy to some people, but if you don't like it, don't look at it; it's that simple. I don't look at that stuff.
I used to roleplay in an online game as a furry...the others I hung out with just did normal stuff like explore the different (PG rated, thank you very much) maps, sit around and listen to the ambient noise of nature zones while we just hang out, go swimming or skating, and even go to poetry readings.
How is that creepy? How is that weird? Just because we're doing those normal activities as a wolf or a fox instead of in a human?
I draw furry art...not a single piece of it is above a G rating (except for some comics where the character swears, so the rating only increased due to bad language/swearing).
