I think you should just embrace it.
Pay no attention to the Lemmy instance I’m posting from.
Yeah, Khajit (and Argonian) Lore is really cool!
I play Khajiit because they have night eye
Edit: also I REALLY like cats
Similar reason I was an Argonian in Morrowind, water breathing.
I played an argonian because they’re lusty.
That’s just what they’re maid to do.
Polishing spears all day long
I play it for the unarmed damage
I do it to level up jumping. I jump over city walks and I’ll jump over your whole character arc, idgaf I’m khajiit
Yup. Combine it with the heavy armor perk which adds your gauntlets’ armor rating to your unarmed attack damage, and you can one-punch dragons.
Punch cat
I play Breton because they’re objectively broken as mages. It has nothing to do with how I might or might not feel about their height.
Breton atronach mage, my goat 🙌🏻
Ah, a fellow broke ass build player 🫡
Why do you hate wood elves?
Why should I feel any different about knife-eared cannibals?
I mean, really, just because they have none of the rich ancestry of the Bosmer and none of the cultural and political power of the Altmer it doesn’t mean I look down on the Namira-worshipping tree fuckers.
Wood elves ARE bosmer (bosque(forest)-mer), did you mean dunmer? (Dune-mer), dark elves.
Don’t kink shame. We’ve all had those thoughts about spriggans.

I have a t-shirt depicting Inigo from the famous Skyrim mod that I love, and I often think people probably assume that I’m a furry
Nothing wrong with furries though
OwO what’s this?
I’m not sorry
Username/instance checks out.
I only played Altmer or Argonian through all of my TES games. I feel like I should give it a revisit and get my kitty on.
I don’t consider khajjit players as furries. As a gameplay race they’re pretty cool if you like their strengths.
People that sexualize animals on the other hand… Furries are into beastiality. And that is fucking crazy shit.
(I knew a couple people would chime in defending the cartoon beastiality. Sorry guys, an animal is an animal, and you are sexualizimg them. )
I was with you for the first half. And I also agree that people who sexualize animals are horrible. As do 99% of furries. But then, I’d say that 99% of the population in general is against it.
The furry community takes strong stance overall against sexualizing and abusing animals. I’ve never personally seen a circle or group where it’s tolerated. Not to say that it doesn’t exist anywhere, but just that it’s not something you’re likely to find without looking for it.
Furry anthropomorphise animals, they make models based on animals and bestiality among furries isn’t elevated compared to the general population. It says more about you and the general population that they equate furries with something about sex.
Beastiality sucks.
Furries are into bestiality.
when will this fucking stereotype DIE
Furries actively denounce sex with actual, real-life animals. Being into that is called zoophilia and if anyone in the furry fandom is caught even thinking about it, we kick them out faster than you can blink.
when will this fucking stereotype DIE.
Probably when people stop sexualizing animals.
i will never understand this. you are listening to a furry telling you that the number of furries who are comfortable being in the same room as people who sexualize real life animals is within rounding error of zero. yet you continue to claim that furries sexualize animals.
I’m not a furry but I do spend a lot of time on the internet. This person is probably not distinguishing between anthropomorphic animals and IRL ones.
One thing I typically find furries and non-furries agree upon is boobs and muscles. Two big ol’ titties/snitties/whatever, six pack abs if they have em. Appealing human traits in a hairy package.
Even furries into quadrupeds and such put emphasis on the Harkness test in one way or another.
Putting human breasts and penises onto animals in sexual ways is, and this may surprise you, sexualizing animals.
“We investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong” doesn’t change what you’re actually doing.
Sexualizing animals is unethical because animals do not have human intelligence and therefore cannot give consent. The entire premise of the furry fandom is “what if animals had human intelligence and did human things?”
In this fictionalized world where animals walk on two legs, wear clothes, talk to their friends in English, and stress about how they’re going to pay for their apartment, and where, often as not, humans as such do not exist (for an example of such a world, please see Zootopia, Fantastic Mr Fox, etc.), it’s not really out of line to draw a buff two-legged wolf man, give him the gruffest possible voice and make an animation where he talks dirty to you, and then go “man, I wanna have sex with that guy”.
The important concept here is fiction, and being able to distinguish between it and reality. No one’s going to suggest you’re a criminal because you went on a killing spree in a videogame. In real life, where animals do not have human intelligence, furries react to people who want to boink actual animals the same way most people react to people who want to boink children, and for pretty much the same reason.
Is that like how child like manga cartoon girls are fictional and not just pedo fantasy bs?
I’m not a furry or into loli stuff but I think there’s a big difference. Furries do closely resemble adult human bodies in every way, however lolis resemble human children.
The only difference between pantie shots of underage girls in anime and those in real life is the fact that one is on a screen. People who get off specifically to the fact that these characters are underage have no excuse for doing so besides being into children in real life. It is specifically their youth and by extension their lack of ability to give meaningful consent (because they treat anyone older than them as an authority figure) which, to a certain class of degenerate, makes them attractive.
If a real-life man who was short and had a childlike face was in a bar complaining about how his wife left him, and someone else in that bar thought he was hot, no one would begrudge them for it, because he’s an adult. So it is with furries. We see that animals are not intelligent and cannot give consent and ask ourselves “what if they were intelligent? what if they looked human? what if they stopped being animals in any meaningful way besides having fur?”
That’s inaccurate. If you actually take a slightly closer look, they’re not “animals with human breasts and penises”; rather, they are much more “human with an animal head and fur/scales”.
It’s also all fantasy, much like magic and D&D, which means that it’s not real. Your vitriol is guided at nothing but smoke and mirrors. By all means, stay hateful, and stay negative.
“it was
a jokefictional, bro!”
The best description I ever got of furries was that it’s astrology for sex. The fursona is their sign. I’ve found it to be a good rough estimation.
Do you suppose different fursona species have better and worse relation with one another, like astrology signs? That’d be funny and awesome at the same time
Not that I’m aware of, but there are plenty of species stereotype memes. For an example:
That’s a lot of weird creepy shit right there.
I’ve never heard it put that way before, but it’s an interesting observation. A lot of animals are culturally associated with personality traits (e.g. clever foxes, loyal dogs, proud lions) and furries usually choose a species they relate to, so it creates a system where people tend to self-sort into various tribes based on values and personality type. Look at any decently popular species and you’ll likely find that most of the people repping it share a common set of traits.
That is a misconception. The term you’re looking for is “zoophile”, and are not the same thing as furries.
No. Beastiality is sex with animals. Furries fantasize about it. That’s the correct term.
Incorrect, but if you prefer to stay in your little delusional bubble, I won’t stop you. :)
“waaah I’m being called out, but I won’t stop you” 🙄
Non-furry here to say that I really don’t care, it’s just drawings.
What about enjoyers of The Real Barenziah?
Peasents pretending to be royal. Don’t get me started.
