    Anthro does not have to mean furry. You can still like them without being a furry

        I’m a furry ally, but not a furry myself. I don’t engage in the community, but I appreciate their work. Furries get a bad reputation and too much hate, and we shouldn’t bully them into submission.

          Yeah, jokes aside, I agree with that. I think it’s funny how people are as quick to label anyone supportive of anthro anything as a furry as they are to hate on actual furries themselves.

            Let’s be honest here. Wanting to be a talking animal isn’t really any less weird than wanting to yiff one.

            Trying to distance yourself from the latter by claiming the former is a futile effort.

      I was rather taken aback at the art style on Luna. It’s not necessarily the idea of a hell hound, but the art style is very furry.

          The people downvoting this comment have a fixation on fucking their dog and explaining to their friends “it’s normal”

      There are 2 types of furries. Those in tech who are suspiciously wealthy, and poor artists who get commissioned by the former. Furries run IT btw. 10+% of my MSP team are furries.

    Why are people acting like any animal based character is a furry? Did everyone forget about Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Cats Don’t Dance, Aristocats, Mickey Mouse, American Tale, The Secret of NIMH, Adventures from the Book of Virtues, All Dogs Go To Heaven, Oliver and Company, Lion King, Bambi, Chester Cheetah, The Great Mouse Detective, the Trix Rabbit, basically anything made for kids, old fables and folktales, etc feel free to add to the list

    None of this is new and it reminds me when people were losing their minds over actors playing different characters like it was a new thing

    Oh god. This made me remember what happened to the scp confinement serie on YouTube. It’s way worse than what you could ever imagine. *Not related to furries

    Anthropomorphic animals have been a staple since Disney and freaking Aesop! 600BCE. People labeling it all the same as people who have a fursona are really weird.

    It seems like this is what the bigots and outrage enthusiasts have latched into since they’ve been thoroughly shunned for hating other demographics (trans people most recently). It seems like it’s getting more posts recently.

    It’s not a disease, you’re not gonna wanna start fucking Teddy bears just because you watched something made by or for furry fans.

      It’s kind of weird playing a furry made game like Dust and realizing the creator probably drew the fairy character getting fucked.

        This may be surprising to you and go against the common stereotype, but not all of them are into it for the porn. It’s just another fantasy genre.

        The extreme weirdos always get the most attention, because they’re extreme weirdos. Like when somebody is heavily into anime and people assume they also like hentai tentacle porn.

    i, as a furry, couldn’t ask for anything better than seeing more furries in TV shows. They just look so cute…
