    Personally, I find that disgusting and I feel that the furry community’s constant need for validation detracts from the seriousness of LGBT issues at large.

    And the overt sexual displays in public places at Pride events don’t? That is objectively much more damaging to the attempts by the queer population to not be seen as deviant sex freaks by the general population.

    The irony is that most people who wear fursuits don’t perform sex acts with them, while you won’t be able to find a single person at pride wearing bondage gear who will tell you that what they’re wearing is never ‘utilized’ in their bedroom.

    Singling out furries in this way makes no sense, you’re just personally squicked by it and trying to rationalize that feeling.

    P.S. Is a Star Trek fan not a ‘legitimate’ fan if they lust over Seven of Nine or any of the other characters?

      Yes. That is harmful too.

      I did say that I personally find it disgusting. My ability to reason is not somehow tainted by my opinions.

      I never claimed that furries don’t like anthropomorphic animals if they view furry porn.
