I don't understand why there are teens and adults who have fetishes for this kind of thing. -- Submitted By: (Robert) on April 15, 2010, 7:53 pm - (1 votes)

Liking anthropomorphic characters? Fine. Believing they are real or that you yourself are one? Call the white coats. Furries aren't so bad, as long as they're sane and realize this is all fantasy. -- Submitted By: (Melissa) on March 5, 2010, 10:44 pm - (2 votes)

The problems with the furry fandom are pretty much the same sorts of problems you'll find in almost any fandom that has an adult side to it.
And yes, often the media chooses to portray the fans that perhaps take it way too far and too seriously. However this is true for any fandom. Think of what people tend to associate with Star Trek, Star Wars or Dungeons and Dragons fans as being like as some examples.
In terms of the adult material that people might associate the fandom with, the problem is that the Internet makes it all too easy for people to share such material. However, instead of sharing it with perhaps a small circle of friends that might give an awkward laugh, you're sharing it to the entire world. If a few people giving someone an awkward thumbs up can be a bad influence, imagine that on a global scale but perhaps as a serious thumbs up. Couple that with the near anonymous nature of the Internet and people tend to end up being a lot less shy about sharing these sorts of closet type interests and kinks.
There is plenty of decent furry type out there. However, because the Internet allows people to post adult art and make it accessible where people can comment and post with far less fear of judgment then in the real world, it doesn't take much for the sort of art people associate the fandom with to thrive. -- Submitted By: (ExplodingConsole) on December 13, 2009, 12:03 pm - (0 votes)

Furries are just part of another subculture, like nerds or goths. The reason the internet picks on them is the same reason school children pick on other classmates, stereotypes and peer pressure. -- Submitted By: (Just_a_Username) on December 12, 2009, 4:45 am - (0 votes)
