Furry General Thread

The furry fandom actually tries to stay as far away from bestiality as possible. I've been a member of the fandom for about 5 years now and can promise that I have yet to see a single furry in my life that is into it.
I honestly think people think way too much about this, because of the negativity furries started out with. Most furs are just normal every day people with an interest in anthropomorphic art. Anthro art applies to a lot of things really, hec the Lion King to some degree gives human properties to animals.
That's all it is to most people. Awesome art, funny people. and pretty freaking rad suits.
Now of course like EVERY fandom has a naughty side, but why do people focus so much on the furry communities and not some of the other ones? It goes back to how the community itself started. Unfortunately, the first ever fur con was handled by a bunch of nuts and because of that everyone got a bad wrap. Honestly though, if you get to have a real understanding about it you'll find it's probably not too different from the AN fandom, or any other fandom.
I find this thread very interesting. From the view points that people had, to the defamation of the thread, furries themselves, and the people who proudly stand. But besides that, I can say I'm a furry, to a limit, because I love to draw anime, anthromorphic creatures/humans, and have my own fursona. :3
I find art is a very good way to express that need for me, to feel free to touch my primitive instincts of being an animal myself. ... Humans are animals, are they not? And our ancestry is supposedly cousins of the prime-ape, is it not? Even if its all theories, people shouldn't shun what they are themselves, if this, indeed is true.
But, I'm glad to see I'm not the only furry person here. I wish Animal Crossing had an option to be an animal instead of a hooman. x: I would like to be able to run around as a Hamster. xD Because, to me, sometimes it's weird that AC consists of anthros, yet, we are always humans. But I can understand, due to the fact that it's for people of all ages.
I support furries, as long as they don't take it overboard. I have my morals. I may be different, but so aren't we all? We all have our opinions. I first felt I was a furry without knowing it, actually, when I was like... 14? I started playing a fantasy game, and ever since then, I've come to be open, understanding of most cultures. But, I'm glad that the Animal Crossing Bell Tree Forums is very diverse.
AND I'M SORRY THAT WAS LONG. I'LL SHUT UP NAO. >:
