This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Despite how the furry community has rebranded itself over the last 10-ish years, I've been on the internet long enough to know that the very core of the furry community is a sexual fetish about having sex with anthropomorphized animals, and it always has been. People dressing up in big cartoon character costumes does not concern me, but it's definitely intrinsically tied to a sexual fetish
There is nothing wrong with having sexual fetishes.
Are they hurting anybody ? No
Are they are they different from the mainstream ? Yes, and sometimes when people see something new, they get angry. We shouldn't get angry, but instead try to be open and cool with it.
Furries are NOT seeking out other people and harassing them. They're just having fun with likeminded people.
Diversity is good and I'm happy every time I see someone else being happy and enjoying something.
There is, in fact, something wrong with having a sexual fetish for animals
Furries are about human-like animals, or perhaps rather animal-like humans. The drawings and costumes they have are very humanlike and most of them are closer to being a human with fur/scales than anything else. Beastiality is wrong and it has nothing to do with being a furry.
It feels like you're looking for something to be angry about. Why can't you just accept that some people are having fun and nobody is getting hurt ?
