Woah, you put a lot of words in my mouth. I don't mind them at all. I just wouldn't say they're cool. Thinking about it now, it's weird to think anyone is cool because of their sexual preference.

Being a furry isn't inherently sexual

Why is there this weird prudish subset of the internet that seeks to over-sexualize benign activities that make them uncomfortable.

Furries are, at most, a place where a minority find it easier to express sexuality (such as homo-, bi-, pan-sexuality amongst others). This isn't because it's inherently sexual, but because they feel comfort and lack of judgment from their peers.

It's a shame that you find that kind of acceptance to be uncomfortable

What the fuck are you talking about? I never said anything is the sort.

Nah you were just ostensibly judgy about a specific subset of cosplay enthusiasts. They put a lot of effort into the show. It’s a huge trigger.

If, for instance, you were a large-hat enthusiast, you might be put out if someone decided you fucked kids because of your sombrero.

Except, I didn't do that.
