I think it's the fact that furries tend to bring their kink public. I have not consented to engage in your sex games. If he showed up to a ceremony in leather and a ballgag no one would be ok with it, but the fur suit is the equivalent and I'm expected to applaud.

The fursuit is the equivalent??? I'm actually laughing rn people think this???

You sound like the kind of person that wants to ban drag story time at the libraries because "kids shouldn't be exposed to someone's kink"

So the distinction I feel here is that women are people. If a man wants to dress like a woman, sure, most people can interact with women in public, whatever. If you want to call them both, broadly, a form of cosplay, then drag is a costume that doesn't fundamentally change much. Animals aren't people.

A big part of this misconception is actually from That Episode. You can actually google the phrase That Episode. No need to even specify the show, just those two words are enough (but the show is CSI). There's a bunch to read into if you'd like, but the important bit is that a big part of public opinion - which has only recently begun to change, and only in some parts of the internet - comes from That Episode's portrayal of furries

bring their kink into public

But it's not a kink for them.

the fur suit is the equivalent [of] leather and a ballgag

I mean, no. It's really not.

I do get what you're saying and generally agree otherwise. That one was just a bit much.

I agree. I’ve seen furries in public and while I find them odd, I never saw any of their costumes as inherently sexual.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

They do, though, and therein lies the non-issue.

Some do, many don't. A fursuit is a costume, as a cosplayer in fandoms do, and I guarantee there are cosplayers that have sex in their costumes.

Knowing quite a few fursuiters there's less of them that want to have sex in suit because it's hot as fuck, makes you a lot more clumsy, and those suits are expensive as hell as they're custom made.
