[QUOTE=Eudoxia;20546153]There are other worse fetishes, IMHO.
Necrophilia being the only one I can think off right now.
Also, the cultural influence thing: After watching Avatar, Xenophilia suddenly seems like a good idea.

Define normal. But anyway, most people don't know what a furry is. I think that what they are doing is sick and creepy.

Oh if only it were the latter.
I usually don't give a shit except if there's porn, visible or being discussed out loud, or some idiot is wearing the rug. That's really fucking creepy. Normal cartoons, comics, and general shit aren't a problem.
And the idiots that think the fetish makes them somehow more important and deserving should die. I just hate these kind of people, and they don't just occur in furries either! :argh:

Dude it's still animals, it's still MAJORLY fucked up.
I mean honestly, one of my big issues is that it's usually paraded around like it's something to be proud of. "FURRY PRIDE" and the "FURRY FANDOM" need to just stop, because for every one rational furry, there are 20 or 30 idiots.
God forbid if you even mention that it's [B]a little more than slightly creepy[/B], then they start going on about how you're "FURSECUTING" them and then the usual action is to act as if I've killed their entire family.

Once again: subjective remarks. If we're not hurting anyone then how is it "fucked up"?
Let's not get into the "shoving it into other peoples' faces" thing again. There are members in every group, including groups accepted by society, who will shove their mannerisms and beliefs in other peoples' faces.

If you watch a video of a child getting fucked, you personally are not hurting anyone.
So, I'm going to ask you. Is it also OK to watch child pornography?
[QUOTE=Legacy1219;20546543]Once again: subjective remarks. If we're not hurting anyone then how is it "fucked up"?
[/QUOTE]
Agreed, you're not raping little children or animals (I hope), but it's still considered as "fucked up" simply because it isn't normal.
Another reason to keep the fetish to yourself and your fap folder.

By watching the video are you not supporting the creators of said video? Those creators most certainly harmed the child.

The only worse one is that one were people have sex with animals and actually think they have relations with them, it was in that fetish megathread and a furry with it was nice enough to clarify that they are in loooooooove with animals and they love them
It's very uncommon but I bet that 90% of the people with this fetish are furries
[QUOTE=Legacy1219;20546691]By watching the video are you not supporting the creators of said video? Those creators most certainly harmed the child.[/QUOTE]
Not necessarily, you aren't directly supporting them if they make no money off of your specific view.

[QUOTE=133753P34K;20546702]Not necessarily, you aren't directly supporting them if they make no money off of your specific view.[/QUOTE]
But you are encouraging them.
On the other hand, if you aren't in any way encouraging or supporting the creators of the video, the only danger I see is the possibility of simply watching videos evolving into attempts at having sex with children. That's why I don't like it when people watch child pornography. There's always the possibility that they'll take it a few steps further.

Agreed
The Anthropomorphic animal fandom, "fur fandom" is a mixing pot. Usually consisting of plain fans, roleplayers, someones fetish, someones philia, someones sexual preferences, or someones preference. The anthropomorphic animal fans "furries" usually consist of the mentally insane, average people that keep it to themselves, idiots that use it to seek attention, sick pervs, or anyone else that take it to the extreme.
I try to be nice or neutral when it comes to someone being a furry, I hate generalizing. It just gets on my nerves when someone as a furry use the fandom as some insanely gruesome fetish, or metaphorically immoral, or use it for special attention seeking.

What you say is true to some extent. However, children are children; furries are not the same as feral animals.
Seriously... feral animals have no human features, they have no intelligence as anthropomorphic animals are usually imagined to have, and all in all... bleh. Just not attractive.
[QUOTE=133753P34K;20546809][/QUOTE]
You know there's a difference, anthropomorphic animals != animals.
This of course depends on the particular case.
Sometimes the porn is mainly anthro animals, sometimes humans with animal characteristics, etc.
Go ask /g/, they are experts in the subject.
[QUOTE=Eudoxia;20546340]Oh if only it were the latter.[/QUOTE]
:aaaaa:
Although I am quite late in the thread:
The general problem, at least to those who vocalize dislike towards furries, seems to stem from inappropriateness. If an average heterosexual with no fetishes begins speaking out about the various ways he and his significant other have copulated, with no external prompt or willing audience, the situation seems quite awkward and inappropriate. Many outspoken furries tend to do this [b]because[/b] they feel they are discriminated against. They feel they are so different as to be considered a separate entity from completely normal human beings. And, while I do not think this particular fetish is normal, it is still just that: a fetish.
To talk in aforementioned situations about said fetish is just disrespectful to those unwilling to hear it. This type of talk is not one of great importance to the listener; therefore, if they do not want to hear it, do not talk about it.

Since when does intelligence enhance pornography?
I'd like to know where anything past the physical aspect comes into play.

Focus on the first point: No. Human. Features.

I understand that, but why not just look at actual people having sex if the human features are what makes it attractive for you?

I wouldn't be able to form a relationship with an unintelligent being. The idea of people having animal-like qualities while still retaining their intelligence does allow for the possibility of a relationship.
I am, of course, not saying that I'd form a relationship with a drawing. Merely... I can't find the idea of a relationship with a stupid animal arousing.

Maybe they like animal features mixed with human features? It sure adds some variety.
[QUOTE=Eudoxia;20546981]Maybe they like animal features mixed with human features? It sure adds some variety.[/QUOTE]
We prefer furries over humans because humans have no animal features. It's a mix of the two that works for us.

Agree on the intelligence part.
Once we develop quantum computers capable of simulating the behaviour of billions of neurons, we'll finally be able to create actual artificial intelligence, and I believe human/robot relationships are actually plausible.
If the robots are given a humanoid body, a la Daneel Olivaw.
