I have friends who are, and while I am not one personally, I have no issues with them in general. I imagine most of the derision people have is just the general distaste people have for outside subcultures. I'm willing to watch furry porn, like with the suits, and things like it, but I've never gone out of my way to look for it myself. So generally positive I'd say.
It depends on how it's done, but I have to say that I am mostly in agreement with it being valid fetish. Combine it with incest and impregnation and it's even better!
Nay. Thats way more into the beastiality realm than cosplay. No matter how you spin it. But whatever, im not gonna knock a goat fucker from watching cg goat sex why would I knock furries. I guess the problem is, I just cant see whats sexy about the easter bunny. Sure it would be funny to watch Santa plow the easter bunny while Smoky the bear jerks off in the corner drowning the tooth fairy in cum. Well shit, that just sounds awesome, quick someone make that
Not really my cup of tea
Though I have to admit I've fallen to it once or twice, but it was very tame compared to other furry-things I've seen out there...
Furry is one of those tags that had potential but shit devs really fucked it and turned everyone away from it turning it into what is basically compartmentalized fans where the games only hit certain tags and never branch but then even the tags they hit they pretty much always hit those tags the same way. It's the same story told a different way with characters with different names usually many personalities will even overlap with the characters.
