Just because it seems to be a common topic on LJ these days...

I just want to say, I do not hate furries.

I don't.

I consider the "normal" sort of furrydom a bit interesting, psychologically, and I'm a bit...perplexed...by the
furries who take it to sexual lengths. It's not my thing, but then, football isn't my thing, and I don't ridicule
football fans...well, okay, I do, but only because it's funny. :-) I can't say I'd enjoy being hit on by a furry,
but then, I don't enjoy being hit on by anybody, really; the attention makes me uncomfortable.

Regardless, I don't think furries are evil, weird, sick, perverted, or disturbed, unless the furry person
in question thinks of those things as compliments. :-) I could care less what two or more consenting
adults do in the privacy of their own home with a fur suit, a wisk, a can of shaving foam, cellophane,
tights, and a miner's helmet. I'd probably rather not see the pictures or videotape, but I won't condemn
people for their sexuality, as long as it does not include children or beings whose consent cannot be
determined, such as actual animals.


At any rate, I'm rather upset by a new round of "bashing" going across the net about furrydom.
I mean, it's not as though the furries are trying to get in everyone's face about it. They're certainly
not proselytizing! It's just...a thing, man.
