now that's performance
The whole furry subculture seems repulsive and cringeworthy. I mean at its most benign it's about pretending to be an animal, and probably more often about wanting to gently caress animals. How could you be part of that and somehow turn off your natural human tendency towards disgust at yourself and those around you? What moment-to-moment cognitive tricks did you engage in so you could look at yourself in a mirror and not want to die? How could you surround yourself with the kind of people in your pictures and not constantly think "I am making an error. I should be somewhere else."

e: also have you ever seen the inside of a fursuit under a black light.

The sexual aspect is I think more a result of a shitload of poorly socialised or socially retarded nerds getting together in a judgement-free community, same as the anime or brony fandoms.

Hmm, so in your opinion the sexual grotesquerie isn't strictly related to being a furry. The fact that you've had to reject multiple people for obviously hosed-in fursuits makes me wonder how accurate your explanation the role of sexuality among furries is though.

You use the word fandom here, and I've seen it used to refer to furries, as in "the furry fandom". Is that a term you would use? Anime fandom consists of fans of anime shows and brony fandom consists of fans of MLP. Star Trek fandom is obviously based around Star Trek. What's the furry equivalent of anime or MLP or Star Trek, as in, what specific cultural art drives the furry fandom? Or is the furry fandom fully self-perpetuating and without an outside source?
