So, ivan am I not allowed to be straight furry? Because if I have to start learning how to be a lesbian, I need to let my boyfriend know. (Who’s not a furry. And I’m not sure if he knows I’m a furry.)
raises hand Although does this really count? I mean, well, it’s ivan astikov. I was hoping for a rabid slavering thing about how we’re corrupting children and we all like to fuck goats or something. Do I get to count this as a pit thread for myself? I’ve never been pitted before.
blushes Aw, I didn’t even realize I was well known.
I should point out to everyone (that’d include you Diogenes) that nobody would know that I was a furry if I didn’t tell them. I don’t wear cat ears. I don’t dress up or go to cons or even buy anthro art. I have some Japanese prints with tigers in my house, does that count? The furriest thing I do is pretend to be a tyger while online. (I’ll admit that the word ‘I am a tyger’ were probably ill-chosen. I pretend to be tyger when online.)
The problem isn’t that people don’t take us seriously, it’s that they think we’re something that we’re not (at least most of us - I’ll admit there are some fucking weird people in furdom. But I’ve seen REALLY fucking weird people in Digimon fandom, in Pokemon fandom, in Star Trek fandom, etc. Let’s just say, some Digimon fans scare me. A lot.)
Ah, someone’s seen that CSI episode. Hate to break it to you but NO ONE does that. Because that’s fucking stupid (yeah, let’s wear twenty pounds of fake fur and foam and then have sex! Because heat exhaustion doesn’t mean anything!)
Wait, why am I responding to a known idiot?
Could you guys, I dunno, swear or something? I’m not feeling the hate. Thanks for brightening my day! (Woo! I got pitted. Too bad it’s by known idiots, but still, it counts right?)
