It depends on how 'loud' the tail is, but in almost all circumstances the crocs are probably louder.
I’m sorry, those animal tail’s are weird as fuck tho!

What's that joke Hannibal Burress says that's like "don't talk to me like you don't have a giant handlebar mustache?"
Lol that's how I feel, by all means do what you do though

We can sit here and point out bad tattoos, but at the end of the day tattos are generally deemed more socially acceptable. Personal preference doesn’t really factor in at all. It’s very rare to see someone with a tail, so it’s going to be weirded than seeing a fairly common bad tattoo.Why? because you don't like one and you do the other?
Okay, tell how people with tattoos like this would be better than some person with a novelty tail:
Now that being said, that MLP tattoo is on a different level of avoiding social norms. Like, what the fuck?
Oh shit did you go to Ohio State?
I was a Japanese major, and a lot of the culture and history classes attracted some...unique people. Off the top of my head I remember a guy who wore a kilt, a girl with a tail, a lot of fedoras and trenchcoats, and a girl who wore cat ears on her head every single day.
It was a presentation for a college class, not at my work thankfully. Still, it was highly inappropriate, and it's not the only instance of this I've heard happening.
Don't worry, OP, they'll just be killed offscreen by edgelords while we get to enjoy pointless talks in hospitals.
If i see someone with a tail i think "Oh look, a furry and/or weeaboo, haha", if i see someone with a horrible tattoo i think "What the fuck was this person thinking, whatever makes you happy, but DAMN"
Of course tattoos are more "accepted" now, because we have been dealing with them in modern society since always, this tail thing is "new" but it's harmless some of the reactions in here have been ridiculous to what is ultimately a quirky novelty item.
Honestly the tail would be fine if he wasn't wearing like the absolute most boring outfit he could think of otherwise.
Had a talk with a guy who would wear them at home (but not outside due to it being frowned upon).
The basic idea is that some people feel more natural with a tail. Which isn't a super weird idea since we did have tails at one point in our evolutionary past, and having one would feel kind of natural.
Also he told me like 10 times in the 5 min conversation that it wasn't a sexual thing, even though i didn't ask, so who knows.

I’m not mad at them or anything. It’s just a clothing item that I really don’t understand. Doesn’t help that I haven’t seen someone with one in probably 6 or 7 years at least, so I immediately associate them with middle school and general immaturity. If you wanna wear one though, fair enough
My problem with furries is that they don't want to be human, and to me, that is the dumbest thing. Humans are the top of the food chain. We are masters of technology and our environment. We do whatever we want. Now you are going to tell me you don't want to be human, but some fox/raccoon/dog/cat? What is wrong with you? Being human is the best thing there is.
well... I mean I wouldn't give someone wearing a "tail" a hard time, but yeah I would think they were probably a bit cracked. the difference from a tattoo besides being just way way more unusual is that tattoos are ink stains on your skin, whereas a tail means you think your fundamental biology is wrong or something, you want to be an animal. so while I am with everyone on To Each Their Own, yeah I'm probably going to judge the shit out of them in my head. the same as I would for someone wearing a boar's head or dragon wings or antlers or whatever. seems preposterously infantile.
What. It wasn't like back in the 80s that we had tails. It was millions of years ago. It is deffo super weird.goldfishking said:
At this point that's kind of the reflex for furries, because they constantly get lumped into the sexual corner, even if their involvement isn't inherently sexual. People still refer to it as a kink, after all.
I mean, I don't understand people wearing their trousers down to their kneecaps, but I'm not going to call people who do it mentally ill.
I was admittedly sort of hoping for a thread about like those snakes who have evolved tails that look like other animals that they use as lures.
You're mistaking furries for otherkin. Otherkin are often furries, but the vast majority of furries is not otherkin.
What's your point? Bortus is an alien and the image is from a joke on The Orville that he is the saint of eating. It is amusing. Never said I wanted to give up my humanity. That and being a humanoid alien is a lot different than some guy in a full fur suit claiming his is an animal.
Me neither. I called it a bit weird, but saying it’s mental illness is too much
What isn't clear? Being a human is awesome. Why would you want to be an animal? What benefit is there compared to everything a human can do?
Is that some kind of huge parasite living off her butt?
Game. Set. Match.
Someone in this thread did, though. I think that's the main point that PSqueak is trying to argue against (not to speak for them obv, but they brought it up) - that wearing a novelty item in public is grounds to call someone mentally ill.
Just seems odd to call out people wearing tails in public when people are wearing swastikas instead. Priorities seem a bit off.
I feel like thats way less subtle than the ones people had back when I was in college. Those ones were always just one color, a lot shorter, and didn’t distinctly resemble one animal in particular... But yeah, the whole thing’s been a trend for quite a while now and isn’t going away anytime soon.
You can do both... Hopefully not while considering the two to be on the same level, clearly; but human beings are capable of being critical of multiple things at once without forgetting the other exists.
you do realize that one member finding this weird, which it is, doesn't mean no one is condemning the neo nazis right
Different university, but I think all of the people I mentioned took at least one semester of Japanese, so I guess it comes with the territory.
right, and anthropomorphic animals aren’t real
most furries aren’t otherkin, like someone mentioned above. thats why its often known as the anthro community. human characteristics are kinda important to the whole experience
