People with a fetish for anthropomorphised (if that's the right word) animals.
The one I knew, was some sort of wolf-creature, in his spare time, and had a friend who liked nothing more than to be led about on a leash (which caused problems with the security down at the student union) and to eat curry from a dog food dish.

Fucking hell, Giles!

That would
be like Hentai to a furry....if your furry and a paedo then maybe you'd like Tom and Jerry Kids.

Best thing for people like that
is death.

Nah, he was a nice guy. Only person I've ever met (outside of the internet)
who knew who Jeff Minter was (he went to interview him, and attempted to convert him to the furry way).
It's just a sex thing really - they have conventions where everyone turns up in costume, but it's all just a front for a massive rutting session. Furries seem to have an awful lot of sex.

There is something fundamentally wrong with the universe if that last sentence is true.

( ArthurTheRat, Wed 6 Jul 2005, 16:05, archived)

Very true,
as far as I am aware, but only when one furry can find another. It could be that they just have lots of sex over short periods, then endure long, dry spells until the next convention.

What's missing from the end of it is:
"...with other obese, mind-bogglingly unattractive sociopaths like themselves, that invaraibly leads to self-hatred, weeping and cutting."

That didn't seem to be the case,
although I never met any female furries.

Tbh if it's safe, sane and consensual
people can do what they like. E.g. infantalism I find extremely distasteful but tbh there is nothing actually wrong with it so leave em to it I say.

Err, until they rape your 2 year old son?

( ArthurTheRat, Wed 6 Jul 2005, 16:06, archived)

No no
that paedophilia. Infantilism is, for example, a grown man wanting to be dressed in a nappy and bottle fed..

Plus, a 2 year old is a child and by definition not capable of giving consent.
( Dekazer, Wed 6 Jul 2005, 16:09, archived)

No,
infantilism isn't the same as paedophilia.
( Comma, Wed 6 Jul 2005, 16:10, archived)

Ohhh.

( ArthurTheRat, Wed 6 Jul 2005, 16:10, archived)

I don't really know enough about either
to be able to argue very well, but paedophilia is the destruction and abuse of children, whereas infantilism is all about reliving childhood.

I see a bright future for you
writing for the Daily Mail.

Anyone with alternative tastes is a kiddie fiddler, stands to reason, dunnit?

He's only a little 'un
I think he just hadn't heard the term and tbh at 14 I very much doubt I had :)

Sane?
What's sanity got to do with sex?
( Dekazer, Wed 6 Jul 2005, 16:07, archived)

But good God man, they are retarded with it.

"I am also starting to hate my human body more and more..."
Probably something to do with the fact that you're an eighteen stone lump of pale, sweaty, spotty lard?

I was being a bit Daily Mail there
As you say, they harm no one and it's their life to live as they choose.

Just makes you wonder what early childhood traumas you have to suffer to twist your sexuality in that direction.

Obviously being left under a sage tree and being adopted by a flock of goats has made me a well rounded, normal individual.
( Goatworrier had your mum and she was shit, Wed 6 Jul 2005, 16:09, archived)

Why?
As long as they're not shagging animals, children or anyone who doesn't consent, I don't see the problem.
