Furries

We all, presumably, know what furries are. They're the guys that dress up in the big cartoon animal costumes, the ones who write owo and uwu everywhere on the internet. Those people. They're harmless, right? Aren't they? Or are they?

Let me be crystal-clear. The furry 'fandom' is a fetish community first and foremost. Is it any wonder why so many of them display their sexuality so prominently? Either orientation or fetishes? Is it any wonder why the hotels at conventions are always trashed, with horrific stories of orgies and debauchery ever-present? Is it any wonder why the leading furry porn site, e621, has over 4.5 million posts? Is it any wonder why the subreddit r/yiff, the pornographic one, has 25% more subscribers than r/furry, the non-pornographic one? Is it any wonder why many furries are introduced into the subculture by pornography? Is it any wonder that the most iconic furry-adjacent company is Bad Dragon, a company making animal-themed sex toys? Is it any wonder that even the furry's meme subreddit, r/furry_irl, hosted an on-demand porn lookup bot in the comments, seriously what other subreddit does this? Is it any wonder, that the largest furry porn site, e621, has nearly a quarter of a million posts with characters that are clearly depicted as underage, even after the website explicitly banned such posts? Again, this number is a post-ban figure.

There is no place worse for a child than a furry community, especially a discord server. In discord in general, pedophiles are everywhere. But discord? It is a mess. If you are under eighteen, even thirteen, you will get horny messages from users en masse. Even I, when I was younger, fourteen or fifteen, was getting unprompted and explicit messages and photographs from people who were over the legal age, who undeniably knew that I was underage. I have seen things you would not believe. I have seen cults. I have seen people cutting names into their arms for the arousal. I have seen genuine mind-washing. I have seen people putting knitting needles down their urethras. I have seen people drinking their own piss. I have seen people fantasize about dismemberment and necrophilia openly and unabashedly. I have seen people defending forcible sex trafficking. I have heard of and seen proof of children being blackmailed for nude photos. I have heard and seen proof of people packing estrogen into Xanax pills, to sell in order to 'feminize' men. I have seen proof of people who physically amputate their hands to indulge in their fantasies of being helpless, and their lover's caretaker fantasy. I have seen a man who was extremely unsettling, let me describe. He enjoyed very casual sex with men and women. Extremely heavy sex, with various extreme fetishes that he went into. He also described how he had impregnated a woman, so he left her. The woman had the kid. He despises the child, as he has to pay child support and has to occasionally visit him. What does he do for work? Works at Sony, regularly does drugs with other employees. I ask him of the long term consequences, he says he doesn't plan on living past thirty. I have seen other people, for example, one person regularly talking about sleeping with his adopted children. Both of these examples, people treated them like no issue was going on. It made me feel physically ill having to talk to these people for any amount of time. Honestly even just saying all these things, it doesn't faze me. I know there's worse out there, and I know there's people with more damaging experiences than me. I've seen some of them. I know that all my experiences here are nothing, they're nothing next to some of the other things going on. They're small fish.

They hide, they spread their lies and half-truths. They claim that not every part of the fandom is sexual. Agreed. But the majority of it is. They claim that these people are in the minority. Over eighty-five per-cent of furries, when surveyed, stated that sex and sexuality plays a large or extremely-large role in the fandom, so this is demonstrably false. Go to any convention, and there are prominent areas designated as 18+, very large sections. There are even rumored private sex rooms on convention grounds, concealed by only curtains. People say furries aren't attracted to real animals. I deny that, with studies finding that between one out of five and one out of two furries report sexual attraction to animals. Some say that these depictions are humanized, anthropomorphized. I ask then, what parts of the animal do furries fetishize? It isn't their human expressions. It is the exotic animal penises. It is the paws. It is the tails and muzzles. If you are attracted to the animal features, that makes you a zoophile, like how being attracted to child-like qualities of fictional characters makes you a pedophile. They say that these characters that they fetishize pass the 'harkness test', a made up test to justify zoophilia because 'it's ok, the fictional animal is sentient'. I do not believe this is a valid defense, that a made-up test excuses the plain fact that you are attracted to animals and animal features. Even besides this, that furry porn site, e621, has well over six hundred thousand photos tagged 'feral', meaning non-anthropomorphized characters, the ones who walk on four legs and such.

And most furries are, let us be completely clear, losers. They work dead-end, unfulfilling jobs. They are stoners, junkies, druggies. They are sexual degenerates, and I mean that in the harshest light possible. I have legitimately seen people defend child pornography posession as a victimless crime, as if that makes it okay in any right. They wear a mask that decries pedophilia and zoophilia, while openly indulging in those same fantasies on large scales. They host debaucherous orgies of all desires of the flesh regularly. They are profligates of the worst degree. But what do they say to deny this?

They do not deny it. They defend it. Drug use, reprehensible desires, orgies, simulated pedophilia and zoophilia. What do they say to it? "It doesn't hurt anyone", "Let people enjoy things", and similar. They do not deny these claims, they proudly accept them, but defend it as harmless. But there is clearly harm in it. Is self-harm morally acceptable? Is it morally acceptable to cut yourself, to kill yourself? Obviously not. So the harm principle extends to yourself. But is it also acceptable to verbally berate others, to be openly racist, to bully and manipulate? Obviously not. So there is more than a physical aspect to it. There is a spiritual dimension. The people who gratify these desires, lose themselves to primal urges, abandon all higher callings or desires. These people, genuinely, become inhuman. They reject the higher function of humanity, they reject the superego, and cede to the id. They, ironically, become animalistic and instinctual, chasing pleasure like the rats pressing the dopamine lever. It is despicable

The problem is that they accept everyone, pressuring people to be tolerant. So those with nowhere to go, the rejects from every other community, they converge here. They are the sewer drain of culture. I have never seen a normal furry. They are always mentally ill, transsexual or homosexual, they are often sexual abuse victims that wallow in their misery instead of working to recover. And this could be a great opportunity to help the downtrodden and weak get back up on their feet. Rehabilitate them. But instead, what do they do? They reinforce these negative habits. They tell people to 'accept yourself'. Self love is not self love when it encourages self harm. Self love would be to quit bad habits, reofmr yourself, and become better. Self love is self improvement. Self love is not defeatism. It is spiritual narcissism.

Furries have spread their lies and deceit. For years, people did challenge furries when presented. They did call them in the open, take off their masks, label them as what they are. But now? They openly exercise their desires. They corrupt the minds and habits of the susceptible. They are a spiritual plague. The worst part? They don't even realize that they're the bad guys. They think they're just 'living my best life'. It is a horrific sight. It is, most of all, a miserable and pitiable sight. These people have given up on their dreams. They have secluded themselves from their communities. They abandoned their higher calling. Funny that the people who pretend to be animals are the ones who give up what makes them human.
