What is a furry?

Note to self: Watching those Anna videos during breakfast was a bad idea.

In general, I don't understand furries, but I'm not necessarily revolted by them either. I only really get repulsed by furries when their obsessions get to an unhealthy level, and when their main defining characteristic is their fursona, and nothing else. Those people in those videos are very good examples of that.

And that's the same for everything else, really. If, say, some teenager likes Mandy Moore enough to listen to listen to her music and maybe have a poster or two on his wall, that's not so unusual. However, if this kid likes to dress up as Mandy Moore, and, I dunno, meet up with Moore fans in real life, jump into writhing "Moore-piles" dressed in Moore suits while yelling "IMMA DOCKING IN YOUR MOORE~" -- well, yeah, I'd staaaayyyy awayyyyyy from the kid.

Same goes for furries. If a person enjoys furry art, has some animal he really like, that's perfectly fine! But if the furriness is the defining obsession of his life, and his behavior reflects it, that's when I'll start thinking of him as one of the weird ones.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
