Fun fact: one of (if not the) oldest known piece of human figurative art is carving of a person with the head of a lion. AKA a furry.
Imagining furries is more innate to the human condition than farming.

Yup!
I've never understood the furry hate. People treat it as a kink akin to someone being into taking a shit on your stomach. Except somehow worse.
It's not my thing, but I've known people who are into it and they've all been nice people. I hung out with a bunch of them one of the times I was working at a con and they were fun people to hang around when they were out of their fursuits. And yeah, I didn't quite know how to react to them when they were in the fursuit, but I just stayed friendly. That seemed to be fine with them.
Furries are odd fellows, but I would never say anything against them ~~for fear of all IT infrastructure spontaneously trying to kill for the rest of my life~~ because it's just odd, not harmful. De gustibus non disputandum est.
Right. They're just into something weird. No big deal, lots of us are into weird things. The weird stuff I'm into doesn't involve spending lots of money or wearing a costume that must be very hot after a short period of time, but if that's what does it for you, cool. I'll be over here watching hours of old public domain movies and industrial films.

One of the most consistent themes with furries I have noticed is unapologetic sex positivity.
That burns a lot of folks who insist sex is shameful and something to apologize for.
There's a loud subculture of furries who insist sex is shameful and something to apologize for.
Huh... I've been here a smidge under 20 years, and I've never met a fur who shares that sentiment. Awkward and quiet about it, sure, but nobody who is like "bad grrrr gross grrrr". Almost exclusively in my circles it's on the range of "I don't mind at all, be weird with me" to (where I sit) "literally get freaky with me whenever and however, here are my kinks on f-list with all my sona details, also here is my 4K webcam and we can become content creators if you want too" levels of casual/open/positivity.
'we are here for a good time, not a long time'. So, literally, fuck it. Do what/who makes you feel good.
I’ve been into furry stuff since before my teens, also 20-25 years ago. Never have I heard of a furry who was also a puritan.

It's a proxy for queerphobia.
It certainly feels that way sometimes. "I can't say the other F-word, so I'll call you a furry."
Not quite, I mean more in the way any pejorative they'd use against a furry, that person thinks about queer people.
phobia of neurodivergent people as well, I think. A lot of the things people find weird and offputting are just like... autism or something.

It might be different for others but I've been around furries, have had furry friends, and it still on some deep level that I can't control makes me a bit uncomfortable. Like I do not judge, and I fully support consenting adults doing whatever they want, but if someone in a fur suit sat next to me on a train, I would be a tad bit uneasy. For me, I think it's the sexualizing animals that gets me. I'm not saying furries do anything bad to real animals, just that the way I view animals is something incompatible with any form of sexualization.
That being said, I fully support furries doing whatever they want as long as it isn't forced on me. All the furry friends I've had over the years have been wonderful and creative people, and have never made me feel uncomfortable.

if it makes you feel any better, it's not animals directly, it's animal attributes. There is a very very specific dividing line between "furry" and "animal"
Also, being a "furry" is remarkably easy. Are you a fan of anthropomorphic animals? Congrats, you're a furry. It doesn't require you to wear a fursuit or anything else. That means that if you're in the fandom of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Sonic the Hedgehog, etc. You. Are. A. Furry.

I know exactly how to feel about this...
Those are some quality fursuits, mfer must be hecking rich
Those fursuiters are so cute!
listen, it's true, since the beginning of human history anthropomorphic creatures have existed in the human lore.
Now we just need to find a way to convince future historians that furries were some sort of high class god like figures, and our troll will be complete.
While we're trolling future historians, let's rewrite the history books to say that the Great Depression was just a period where everyone was really sad for some reason. It was a mental health epidemic, not an economic crisis.
I mean, The Great Depression probably did make a bunch of people sad.

those are damn impressive costumes tho
I think we need to live sexually, morally, and politically repressed like in the good ol' times. It made it easier to control and indoctrinate people during the growth of empires designed to serve themselves and their pyramid scheme like structures. It's why we burned the satyr plays. I'm just going to say it, if we are going to shift as a subservient and servile class under our billionaire oligarchs, we need to be twice as repressed as we are now, not more "liberated". Who made the best servants? Eunuchs, that's who. Also, please make more babies, we need to feed the feedback loop we have going regarding population growth and our economy/wars. /swtf
Elon! I didn't know they let you back in here, silly goose.
I think this guy is more akin to the ancestor:
He's definitely the sort that would attack the family on the other side of the hill with a big rock because they weren't from his side of the hill. So in that sense, yes.
If I get the context right then he's a traitor, but I cannot deny that the outfit is pretty cool
