How do you feel about furries?

I'm a big fan of expression, but am indifferent on the furries community, especially with some of the content they sometimes post.
I'm not one myself, but my general outlook on social issues and cultural differences applies: if it harms no one, it's okay.

I have heard of it.
While studying psychology back in the time before time, we once had a party where everyone came, not as a dress up furry, but as a furry character and interacted with each other. I was a kitty cat who got into a safe place and hissed at anyone who came close. It was fun and I learned something about myself and how I felt and interacted during parties at that time.
We have the esteemed @Wu Wei and others including myself who are at least semi-furries as well.
So to me it's harmless fun and possibly psychologically useful.

I don't feel any particular way about something that I have, at best, a cursory familiar with. I've only had one acquaintance who was involved in this community. It didn't really come up in conversation... they'd just mention they were going to some conventions and would be gone for a while and we were all like "cool, have fun!"

If you detected my slight reserve in my post above, it's only because I have been to furries communities and seen them post lots of adult pictures of cartoon, half animal half human creatures depicted kissing, etc. And I decided it wasn't something I wanted to see.

Most of them are just people with a weird hobby, in my opinion.

I'll give you another example of how furries might make one feel uncomfortable...
In the video game Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, Sonic is believed to have shared a human relationship beyond friendship with a young human woman. She even kisses him toward the very end of the game.
The game got bad reviews, with many reviewers feeling uncomfortable because of that, and also not liking the poor gameplay mechanics of the game.

From a factual perspective, a furry is an enthusiast for animal characters with human characteristics, occasionally dressing up as one.

I see them as a potential pool of tech investors for textiles research companies. The furry movement might attract more people if there were better temperature and climate controls for the furry suits. Hygiene must be difficult in a heavy completely enclosing suit.
Funny you should say that.
These new suits have fans in the chin, and are led-run, so they have facial expressions.
Only problem is that they cost upwards of 2,000$.[GALLERY=media, 9353]Proto by Dacchuist posted Oct 13, 2020 at 11:42 AM[/GALLERY]
I view it as kind of in the same vein as the anime community. Mostly a lot of generally enthusiastic everyday folk but with an underlying minority who exhibit very juvenile or toxic behavior or obsessions.
I'm not able to see that. You may have to change permissions on the album for people to follow your link.
Sorry about that. Should be fixed now.

It reminds me of LARP. Have you heard of that?
Yep! We have a few LARPers here on RF. I've only done one or two at conventions. It feels more like improv theater than engaging with the furry community does, tbh. But there's plenty of RP among furry people too.
