Make furries make sense to me...

[urquell]

somebody? anybody? Why would anyone do this? What is the benefit? I must not be seeing something because to me it just looks pointless and utterly ridiculous.

Different *strokes* for different folks

pick your own wildest, weirdest kink and try explaining it to someone that doesn't get it.

my (admittedly limited) understanding is that it isn't a kink at all and is generally a non-sexual practice, so not sure your analogy fits, but again I admit to ignorance and am perfectly happy to be corrected by anyone more knowledgeable if that's the case.

If you're truly curious and not just trying to shit on them, you can listen to this podcast:

As someone who knew nothing about it and who knows nobody that's even a little bit into furry, it was interesting episode.

Thank you, good to know. Still don't understand it or why someone would feel like a furry

Personally I am still trying to understand Furbies

Don't know what on earth this is or even something like this exist.

Well it is not something harmful, humiliating and life threatening.

Sooo.... whatever floats your boat.

I can understand the enjoyment of anonymity from wearing a fursuit, even in non-sexual contexts. It may be preferable for people who are anxious about being in public.

I put it in the exact same category as people who buy expensive clothes and flashy material goods outside of their means. It's the creation of a persona (or fursona) to live a life that isn't like your normal one.

aren't there like conventions with this, or i'm mixing something up w/ this. i new a girl once, a really fiesty capable chick... she cut through a hotel convention of this and it managed to really freak her out like in a serial killer/stalking kind of terror.
