But since we opened the subject, I'll agree with Oscar. If its treated just like any other fetish and with more discretion, I wouldn't have any problems in accepting it. It's the need to publicize it and advocate the life style that I don't get.
It makes me so uncomfortable to sometimes hear arguments used among LGBT supporters in their rhetoric. I mean, neither science, religion, nor history is with them on this one.
Before moving to the US I've only heard about them online, but never seen any traces of them in real life, but after the move I started noticing them... In our university a big group of furries meet on a daily basis at the cafeteria. They wear the ears, dangle the tails from their pants, and walk around barefoot. Very few people understand what they are (it hurts to be one of the few ones who do), but everyone avoids them just the same. They're shunned most of the time when they're in that attire... It's a ridiculous self-fulfilling prophecy, if you ask me.
And with the fact that a high number of those kids are socially awkward to begin with, you can forget any attempt of communication between the humans and half-beasts.
I just don't get any of it, mang.
