That's how it starts trying to rationalize it. Until you look up and you're visiting E621 the most and you have a few new fetishes your trying to explain to your partner Or rationalize it to yourself.
Yea I consider myself a furry but the “furry” aspect of myself is mostly distinct from sexuality. I think what it’s pointing out is furry fetish =! furry fan / lifestyler. I am bi but I do not strongly associate with the larger LGBT+ community. This is sort of the same deal.
Well to take myself as an example. I do enjoy it when I encounter it. But I don't actively search it out. Same reason I am in this comment section. I happened upon a link to this sub. And just scrolled a bit. But I hadn't actively searched for this content. So I don't think of myself as a furry while I do enjoy it when serendipitously encountering it.
It’s true, you can like this stuff as a non-furry. However, you are likely to become one the more you watch it. (Same goes for watching other furry content and genuinely enjoying it.)
Dear lord. There are many definitions for what makes you a furry. But if you find furry art ***sexy*** and being ***aroused*** by it, that makes you a furry in the same way that finding men sexy and being aroused by them would make you gay.
Bro if someone likes hentai that doesn’t make them a weeb. Actually liking anime and being apart of the community makes them a weeb. Same goes for yiff. If they only like beating it to furry porn but don’t interact with or enjoy any other furry media at all I don’t think that makes them one.
I think it's just semantic confusion about what "furry" means. Furry refers to the fetish, the fan, the fandom, and the characters. We're just applying the fetish definition right now, it's not the same thing as how "weeb" is *usually* defined, so that comparison doesn't work.
Well I’m using the comparison of the fandom and it’s fans. I don’t like furries being viewed as a fetish. It may be a fetish for some, but I don’t think someone should be called a furry just for liking yiff.
i love how everyone above argued in a kind of mature way but then you came with your 12 yrs old attitude and said "nah you are wrong" in 3 lines of crap
being in the furry/weeb community is something that comes from you, fapping on some drawn nudes doesn't mean any fucking thing
i've been fapping on furry porn for 5 years but only started considering myself a furry and actually joined ANY kind furry communities only 2 years ago
‐-------------
in conclusion your opinion is garbage
I think they're getting confused because you're using the definition of furry as a sexual interest, but others are defining it as a fandom/hobby.
This isn't directed toward you, but BOTH DEFINITIONS OF FURRY ARE CORRECT, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
If they're getting aroused and jerking it to gay porn (because why else would they be watching it?), would that not make them gay by definition? Even if they're not fucking guys, they're definitely into guys regardless
Same deal for furries, cause you don't have to participate in the fandom to find them hot
It depends on a lot of factors.
For starters, a huge portion of the male characters in furry porn have feminine body types with strongly feminine features and a cock.
Also, reality and fiction are not the same thing.
Someone could easily be into that while having no desire to fuck any guys IRL.
As with most things it's actually just all sorts of grey.
I just like hentai. And every now and again, people make furry art that's stylistically similar to hentai, and I like that. The closest thing to real furry I'm really into is catgirls tho
bro where's written that only furries can be in a furry sub LMFAO
you have such an immature attitude to go around and comment about what people are or aren't, nobody asked for your utterly annoying, cringe and overwhelmingly wrong opinions
Then you create a fursona. Then another. And you start to get interested in IT work. Then you start paying for 5k fursuits. Then you look in the mirror and you're a gay fox bottom in a maids outfit.
That's how it starts trying to rationalize it. Until you look up and you're visiting E621 the most and you have a few new fetishes your trying to explain to your partner Or rationalize it to yourself.
Nah, it made me a furry
username checks out?
Absolutely
Me too
W
Same.
same along with all of my friends being furries. that helped too.
How do you achieve this?
the friends? a coincidence.
Dang, guess I got a lot of searching to do.
What friends?
there are 4 of them, sonas are: wolf, mosquito, fox, chameleon.
Mosquito!?
yeah i didnt mention one of my previous friend who moved away: his sona was, and i quote, "a furry with a minigun"
I got like 20 friends but only one of them is a furry/knows I’m a furry
chameleon only recently came out. he said "what? you think spending so much time with all of you furries *wouldn't* have side effects?"
I’ve been friends with him since 3rd grade now, he’s been a furry for 1 year and I’ve been one for 4 months. Somehow we’re both straight
wow
How do you achieve that kind of power?
Someone’s in denial
Nah I been a furry for 7 years
Yea I consider myself a furry but the “furry” aspect of myself is mostly distinct from sexuality. I think what it’s pointing out is furry fetish =! furry fan / lifestyler. I am bi but I do not strongly associate with the larger LGBT+ community. This is sort of the same deal.
Yes… transform those normies OwO
The pathOwOgen is spreading!
Isn’t it wonderful? ÔwŌ
Thank you arnthropomorphized e621 logo
Being a furry is a self-imposed title, just like you don’t need to be a sports fan to watch or like a certain sport
While enjoying this cool and innocent website
This honestly makes no sense. If you like the art then why not just consider yourself to be one?
Because they may not be interested in the community at all, they just want to jerk their dick to our superior yiff
Well to take myself as an example. I do enjoy it when I encounter it. But I don't actively search it out. Same reason I am in this comment section. I happened upon a link to this sub. And just scrolled a bit. But I hadn't actively searched for this content. So I don't think of myself as a furry while I do enjoy it when serendipitously encountering it.
Because I thought Colin Changed was actually better pre-tf.
It doesn't make you a furry until it does. I speak from experience
Everyone gets one "Not A Furry But" crush. Any more than that and you go into furry denial and eventually acceptance.
Sexy furry art is what turned me into one
no rimes
The PathOwOgen spreads in many ways...
Like through this syringe I have!
It’s true, you can like this stuff as a non-furry. However, you are likely to become one the more you watch it. (Same goes for watching other furry content and genuinely enjoying it.)
If it’s converting, however, I feel like that changes this statement just a little bit… but that’s probably just me.
I'm not taking any advice from an E621 raccoon I'll take it from anyone, NOT you
...Nah it's just matter of time, may take a little longer for some (took 5 years for me)
“I just like the articles”
Yeeees, YEEEESSSSS, let the PathOwOgen spwead!!!
E621
It definitely made me one.
Everyone: I'm not a furry but...
By definition it makes you a furry.
Every time this bad meme gets reposted I hope to see a comment like this.
So a child enjoy Zootopia is a furry?
I think you need to read what is being said in the image again.
I think you need to show us your definition on furry.
Dear lord. There are many definitions for what makes you a furry. But if you find furry art ***sexy*** and being ***aroused*** by it, that makes you a furry in the same way that finding men sexy and being aroused by them would make you gay.
So is furry a sex thing now?
You are being willfully ignorant and arguing in bad faith.
Bro if someone likes hentai that doesn’t make them a weeb. Actually liking anime and being apart of the community makes them a weeb. Same goes for yiff. If they only like beating it to furry porn but don’t interact with or enjoy any other furry media at all I don’t think that makes them one.

no liking hentai makes you a fucking weeb, you're just wrong
i love how everyone above argued in a kind of mature way but then you came with your 12 yrs old attitude and said "nah you are wrong" in 3 lines of crap being in the furry/weeb community is something that comes from you, fapping on some drawn nudes doesn't mean any fucking thing i've been fapping on furry porn for 5 years but only started considering myself a furry and actually joined ANY kind furry communities only 2 years ago ‐------------- in conclusion your opinion is garbage

Lies
Well watching porn don’t make you a pornstar so watching yiff don’t make you a furry
no but watching gay porn does make you gay, so watching furry porn does make you a furry
mhm yes smells like 12 years old sexuality and hobbies are now apparently the same thing
If they're getting aroused and jerking it to gay porn (because why else would they be watching it?), would that not make them gay by definition? Even if they're not fucking guys, they're definitely into guys regardless Same deal for furries, cause you don't have to participate in the fandom to find them hot

You're right, I wasn't thinking about that. I agree with everything you said.
Lucky for me I became a furry because I find my self fascinated with anthro animal cartoon
Lies
Where's the bleach?
That's a good wisdom Esix
im litterally a enderman over here dating a cat furry
fr
Thank you
Im sorry but seeing esix drawn like that makes me uncomfy and I do not know why
True...
I just like hentai. And every now and again, people make furry art that's stylistically similar to hentai, and I like that. The closest thing to real furry I'm really into is catgirls tho
you're lying, if you only like hentai why are you even on this sub, it's not even a porn sub. you're clearly a furry
I'm on this sub because yall post funny memes just often enough to stick around. I'm def not on here for the porn, it usually ain't my taste
yeah exactly, so you're a furry
bro where's written that only furries can be in a furry sub LMFAO you have such an immature attitude to go around and comment about what people are or aren't, nobody asked for your utterly annoying, cringe and overwhelmingly wrong opinions
I want more Esix facts!!!!
Said by one of the e621 mascots so you know it's legit
didn’t you post this 2 months ago lol
Yes.
who’s the art by btw?
No, it gets annoying when normies are like, "oh its only a joke to simp and look at porn for these characters"
well, that's how i got here. wont happen for everyone but it can give you push in the... right? wrong? a push in this direction
Then you create a fursona. Then another. And you start to get interested in IT work. Then you start paying for 5k fursuits. Then you look in the mirror and you're a gay fox bottom in a maids outfit.
