A bear was sitting on the ground and a child was on his lap for a photo op. What did the parents think they were?! By the way, I'm not suggesting that furries are a pedophilia group. Nothing in their literature or articles even hints at that as a possibility. By all accounts, they're not interested in the human form unless it's encased in fur.
I hadn't seen this in the articles. Later the night, I read an interview with a furry: "It's a new way of looking at the world," he said. Another furry said, "You regress into a child when you come to a convention, because it's that kind of camaraderie, or childishness. Like Purpleclover on facebook. Follow Purple Clover on Twitter.

She laughed. She thought I was joking. They're Women At the post-parade rally, I looked up info about furry culture. We were all repulsed. I dragged my friends over and approached a pearly white fox. I backed off. Interacting with a fur costume with an altered voice was just too much for me. If that's their hobby, then that's their hobby. Dressing up in a fursuit to do nsfw things: Definitely cringy, definitely weird, moderately creepy, but as long as nobody's hurt, nothing illegal happens, and I'm not forced to watch or participate, then I'm not going to curse their very existence or try to get them to stop.
I hope my analysis wasn't too creepy. I just like to be thorough and try to avoid jumping to conclusions. There's literally nothing wrong with drawing furry porn or jacking off to it. It's not "cringy". Would you seriously go up to Vladimir Putin and be like "Hey Putin, what do you jack off to so I can judge you for it?
And even in the very rare case that one does, I would probably not extend that feeling to generalize every person involved with it. For example, I imagine that someone who has a "gore fetish" is more likely to have sexual sadism disorder than the average person, and I also have a hunch that someone with that is more likely to commit an act of violence than the average person.
And yet, if I were to personally interact with someone who confessed to having said fetish, I would not assume that they wish or intend to inflict harm upon me or anyone else.
Many furries do not Fursuit. Many furries do not have a fetish for anthro animals. And I haven't heard the word Yiff be used by any furry for like 4 years now. Because literally Every human on earth is a fucking pervert. KYM has just as much fucked up cringy fetish art of non-furry characters as it does furry ones. Why should I care if any fuckboi on the internet thinks I'm a pervert when I know he has seen worse and probably has just as fucked up sexual interests as me?
Just because you replace the anthro lion with some generic anime girl doesn't mean your fetish is any more clean or pure. The fandom is annoying but I'm a pretty chill person, I don't generally get creeped out by furries unless they did something very serious like touching a kid or fucking a dog or something. I actually like the costumes a lot, but I love costumes in general. Yeah, the fucking is really off putting but a lot of the costumes are not for fucking in, like this is a huge fucking peeve of mine because like.
And some people legit just like the costumes. I'm dying this thread. I don't think you're creeped out, I think you're unnerved. You're not a kid so you're not terrified, you wouldn't literally run away in horror, but it's unsettling to see and be around, you might leave somewhere because of it. I feel the same way about anime fans irl. I am one. But every time I've tried to be around other ones it's been an utter shitshow, worst case scenarios, so I stopped trying.
It is understandable that you have an emotional revulsion of a certain thing because of factors outside of your control and rationale. There's nothing wrong with feeling emotions as long as you just express them appropriately.
A good phenomenon to bring up in this topic would be the uncanny valley. You would probably want to read about it but the basics can be explained in this video:. There are common examples of the uncanny valley but it is by no means universal, and so one person can infact find comfort in something that would digest another person.
It could be certain animated movies or games, human look-alike robots, and can extend to characters like furries as well. I think it depends on what you acknowledge as human or worth being treated like a human, consciously or subconsciously.
And about having a generalized view of furries, I think you would only have to go as far as looking at the internet from a cultural perceptive to start getting answers. The origins of the furry community actually trace back to the science fiction fandom. Think for a little bit about our understanding of what the average Star Wars fan is like, or even think about the Star Wars fans you know. Yeah sure, some like to cosplay as Star Wars characters and have their own lightsaber replicas, stranger thing is that certain fans 'might' have had some fantasies related to the "Slave Leia and Jabba the Hutt scene" from Return of the Jedi, and if you look hard enough you'll find some nut trying to prove that Jedi force powers are real.
But we see all of that as exceptions to who Star Wars fans are rather than the rule. It helps a lot that the original Star Wars trilogy were incredibly successful movies and a franchise that will soon be 40 years old and counting, and has attracted people atleast as far as Gen X or eariler right up to children today seeing The Force Awakens for the first time.
In many ways, Star Wars is extremely familiar to us if it wasn't in fact placed in the center of pop culture many years ago. And so for the most part, we see Star Wars fans as perfectly normal people who just have enthusiasm for Fiction, Media, and Art that revolves around a galaxy far far away. The modern status of the Furry Fandom does not have such a luxury of wide spread and time, and the subculture wasn't really connected until after the invention of the World-Wide-Web, And the result is that there are many people who don't know who furries are, so they have to look to sources other than furries themselves to understand them like I don't know; let's say that one CSI episode named "Fur and Loathing.
Just like how most people are more familiar with Sports Fanatics then members of fiction fandoms like Trekies or Anime fans. Most of us are more familiar with members of the Star Wars fandom or the Gamer community then we are of Furries, and so it ends up that more people believe in misconceptions about the furry fandom then not. They've always been kinda creepy to me too but most people irl seem to think I'm pretty creepy myself in the daunting way.
A furry is merely someone who is a fan of anthropomorphic characters. Like with any fandom, there's going to be a subgroup that sexualizes it. Remember that all interests are subjective.
A lot of people likely think something you do is just as creepy, if not more so, than something they do. It's best to just accept it and move on with life rather than caring about what other people get off to. It'll save you headaches. Also, I think a lot of people forget that furry is commonly combined with fetishes but is not a fetish by itself.
As a whole, the furry community participates just for fun. In one case , authorities discovered a secret group of child abusers within the furry community. Furries are also gaining popularity on social media , especially TikTok. Some of these furry influencers include Pyxe While many of their videos are created in good fun funny skits, dances, and furry-related humor , these popular accounts also harbor some inappropriate content, including bad language and sexual references.
This is something to be aware of and possibly discuss with your furry-curious teen. Is it all bad? No, because just about anything can be sexualized or abused today.
With that being said, inappropriate things do happen in some cases, so it takes awareness and discernment on our part as parents. For example, if your child would like to attend a convention, consider going with them and getting to know their passion a little better. Maybe even watch a few furry TikToks with your child and talk about the good and the bad that you see.
There are still some gaps that we should identify and address with our kids. Fursuits may offer temporary fulfillment of desires, but our kids will still see the same face staring back at them at the end of the day, and we want them to love what they see without the mask. Your teen might be struggling with body positivity , anxiety , bullying , identity , creating healthy relationships , and so much more.
Check out our Identity Conversation Kit for an in-depth look at identity through a biblical lens. But consider the good and the bad in becoming a furry, do a little more research on what the furry community emphasizes, and most importantly, have a conversation about it. Membership F.
