I’m a furry and even I don’t get most furries, haha!
Like, I’m here to be an animal. I heard “people who like to be animals” and went “whoa, sign me up!” and it turns out a lot of furries DON’T like to be animals, they just… pretend to be animals but “oh that’s a character not really me” and they still consider themselves human…?.. also they’re only half-human-half-animals, not actual animal shape either?.. I don’t get it
turns out most of the actual “I’m just an animal” animals are the therians instead (once I found them I decided I’d be both). I’m still a non-character, non-anthropomorphic (the furry jargon for normal animal shape is “feral”) furry though, and the anthro furries can just deal. :3
This is hilarious. Don’t get me wrong, @forestbeasts@pawb.social , I appreciate the details - a fascinating glimpse at something I didn’t know - but it’s funny timing with some of the other threads here
Haha yeah! :3 I uh, misread the critter I replied to as saying “I don’t get it” rather than “I’m not even interested in getting it”. Cue the massive infodump. >,,>
I’m not that sorry, though. It’s still fun to talk about and also kinda hilarious that it happened.

Don’t you think this kind of trivializes what transgender people go through? Saying you can be trans for species sounds like some sort of mockery of transgenderism

I tend to do the same thing. “Well if you didn’t want a half hour introduction to color theory, why did you ask an unrelated question?”
I… might have the tism…
Do you not consider yourself to be human?
Nope! I’m a wolf! :3
I’m trans, but for species instead of gender. Yeah that’s a thing. 🐺
