I have a similar problem, though I can probably take my sister. But our parents will be like “why do you even care about that movie?” I don’t know if general disapproval (just going to a movie alone is a bit odd, a movie like this is worse) is worse than parental “WTF.”

No, not even remotely. A question: when there is an attractive character in a movie... how do you feel? Is it like watching porn for you? No? So why assume that a furry is any different “I find person X to be attractive” and “I want to rub one out right now” are two very different things - you understand this…

As a furry, I love that Disney is targeting the community with this film. It looks fantastic. I just don’t know how I’m going to see it in the theaters. A middle-aged man attending a kid’s film by himself would automatically be labeled a pedophile. I’ll have to get someone to go with me, but my girlfriend is out of…

This is a non-story. Buzzfeed isn’t exactly known for it’s journalistic chops. More for “Try guys get naked on youtube...again.” and “Rude Australian people bitch about America...again.” oh and while we’re at it, “Which cartoons awakened your sexuality.” videos. Besides furries would sexualize zootopia even without…

Hell a lot of the old Tijuana bibles were drawn by the original character artists under a fake name.

I strongly, strongly suspect that line was there to troll people into getting mad about it.

Oh nice! Ya, that’s pretty much the story with everyone I’ve met. Furry has absolutely changed my life for the better, and all of the friends I’ve made are amazing and super awesome. Ya there’s some weirdos here and there, but no more than I meet outside the fandom.

I know! One of my friends makes fursuits for a living and her husband is a furry but they aren’t real weird like tv likes to portray them as. They are super cool and her work is gorgeous.

For fuck’s sake. The furry fandom’s main point is not sex -.-

If you could nail that comment any harder there would just be a smoking crater.

Yeah. I said something like this as well. But people like to focus on the sex aspect because it drives clicks. And furries are an easy target.

Well, it’s like being a little god of your own world, and with great power comes —- wait, that Bruce Timm? *googles* Hey, they’re really good.

Well, good for Disney, and for fans of that sort of thing.

Oh fuck you Giz. I tend to enjoy this site and other Gawker sites, but fuck you. And fuck anyone else who still believes this tripe in 20-fucking-16. Kate, how about you actually do some goddamn research like a real damn jorunalist instead of just parroting what CSI, Vanity Faire, Tyra Banks, and the other shit…

Everything is sexual. Explain to me why a fandom has to be described by their sexuality. I state again, this is like saying the majority of people who like anime or manga or cartoons like their porn that way. Shockingly, that’s not true. Neither do all furs enjoy their porn that way.

I chose the bald eagle as a fursona because I like bald eagles, I think they’re a majestic species, but it was also partly because of my geographic location (eastern Pennsylvania)

There’s nothing sexual about my interests and I don’t like that I have to explain that to everyone who doesn’t know what ‘furry’ truly is.

Tha…

Darned right. I mean, just watch Heavy Metal.

Seconding. Lewdability definitely came second to (and significantly later than), “Oh wow a group of people who accept me even though I’m too weird even for the geeks at my middle school, AND the community is centered around things I like to do (‘being on the computer’ and ‘art’), AND I get to pretend to not have a…

So much this. I wish I wasn’t a grey, so I could pull this up and out.

It’s a bummer to see furries defined by the sexual angle again, but I guess that’s what grabs people’s attention. Nobody’s going to keep scrolling if you call furries “people fascinated with animal symbolism who create their own characters and personas”.
