To be clear: I harbor no resentment against furries. They have a right to do their thing, I just don't want to be involved.

If furry porn didn't exist, then I might have less of a prejudice against furries and furry content. But as it stands, I will actively avoid anything with the furry aesthetic, because the porn is too weird for me to stomach. You will never be able to remove that association; the damage is done. When I see video games that I might otherwise like, but the art is furry art, I think, "ah, that's a shame. Won't be playing that."

...every furry i've known has been a cool person: i'm not saying it's universal but the fandom tends to attract geeky fun-loving personalities and those are my favorite kind of people to play with...

...as for furry sexuality (which of course isn't strictly synonymous with the fandom): well, it may not be my jam but neither are men, so i don't feel any differently about it than i do corset-rippers or gay erotica; as long folks keep their kinks tastefully discreet, go with the gods...

Idk, I can enjoy a good set of bunny ears or tail

Imagine refusing to play Tunic because of this.

Tunic has a very different art style from furry art IMO.

I still have an old comment on my computer from Kongregate where I disliked a game just for having a wolf character.

I now hang out with furries more than other types of people.
