Wear your fursuit or tail if you want, but I'll still judge you for it. Everything I read about furries it's always something fucked up that happened in the news.
I’m sorry, those animal tail’s are weird as fuck tho!

When it goes from "I really like this character" to "I wish I was this character" or "I am this character" then yes. You are living in a fantasy. Taking traits of the character you admire and bettering yourself are one thing, it taking over your life is another.
No it isn't. Fursuits and fursonas are literally where you cross the line to it being a way of life. Now if someone larps all the time and has an elven persona, well they are also giving up their humanity too to a degree. The difference is that elves are basically just humans with pointy ears, so the only thing you can really say is that the person is living in a fantasy, which is sad in its own right.
At worst species traitors. But it is more like why would you give up being human? What advantages are there to being anything but human? We are a pinnacle of evolution, so what does being a fox or dog or cat give you that cannot be accomplished as a human?
Are you seriously ignoring the distinction that has been made to you multiple times that you’re actually talking about a completely different thing. That isn’t a furry, that is otherkin. They believe they’re not human. Some furries wear suits, some furries wear tails, some furries don’t do either, some furries draw art, some consume art. You’re basically generalising based on your lack of knowledge about something you quite clearly dislike.
I mean, you’re fine to think someone’s interest is weird, but to be quite frank, disliking people for something that has jack shit to do with you is disgusting. I mean, the language you’re using is basically calling them subhuman, so you know what, you do you, wasted enough time on you.

You dress up in a fur suit and have a fursona...you are a furry. Plain and simple. You want to be some animal species that isn't human...Furry. You want to yiff...Furry. You can try and break things down all you want, but there is a reason blanket terms exist.
I mean sure, if you want to let only headline-worthy stories skew opinions of groups of people for you. In the same vein I could say:
Wear your hijab if you want, but I'll still judge you for it. Everything I read about muslims is always something fucked up that happened in the news.
See how this approach could be problem
You're aware that the absolute vast majority of furries doesn't think they're their fursona when they put on fursuits, or in general, right? And I think you seem to exaggerate at how much being a furry takes up the lives of those involved. Yes, there are some super weirdos who are way too much into it, but you have that with all kinds of fandoms, not only furries. So I don't see why you'd single out furries if you also have the weebs who want to marry their body pillow, or the Lord of the Rings geeks who put a lot of their time into learning Sindarin, or whatever other fanbase there is. The only difference between those is that furries usually (but not always!) create personal characters to identify themselves with as sort of an avatar. It's essentially a more elaborate logo or coat of arms.
Also, I've told you before, and I will tell you again: The people who actually think they are animals or want to become animals are NOT furries. They are otherkin.
Finally, even if some of them are wearing costumes or creating characters to escape reality and live a fantasy (regardless of what that is), what does it matter? How is it a "problem to you" (as that is the exact wording you used in the initial post of yours)?
You guys should stop engaging him on this. He did this exact thing on the old site years ago, and he clearly hasn't changed.
Oh, never mind.

Damn someone got banned in my thread is that a honor or should I feel bad?
Moment of silence or do we keep going ;)

Oh, I didn't know that person was notorious. Apologies. I'll keep that in mind I see them post next time.

It's... what is it? I can't even laugh at it cause I have no idea what it's supposed to be. :( Though it kind of reminds me of one of the aliens from Meteos.

Honored, you posted about something someone was passionately opinionated enough to be banned!
Oh they've... been around for quite a while. I honestly hadn't expected to see them on this site.
Also hullo! It's been a while. ^^

Imma be honest and I’m not saying it’s not cool but it reminds me of a tide pod.
I... would assume normal costume tails do not demand shoving anything up your ass, yes?
If this is not the case, Halloween just became much more interesting to me.
Look at this person, they don't even use tail plugs!
Everyone point and laugh at their humiliation!
How many more threads do we need that basically amount to "Here, look at how normal I am compared to everybody else!"? It feels like this thread is just about squeezing more cheap reactions that didn't come from that other furry thread.
As for tails, eh. I wouldn't wear one, but I don't remotely care. At least you can take them off, unlike tattoos.

I mean I'm just using a regular blue-collar plug over here, I'm a layman.
Using Rainfurrest as an example of why "furries are bad" is like using Dashcon to justify saying "Tumblr users are bad" or using a riot after a sports game as "people who watch sports are bad". It is ridiculously reductive. It ignores the millions of well behaved members of a group in favor of highlighting the poor behavior of a comparative few.
I don't care if it's a tail, a tattoo or whatever. You point and laugh at a person in public just because they look different, that's being a dick. Unless they are looking to entertain in that way, you don't do it.
There was a guy at my college who carried around a small stuffed animal everywhere, in addition to wearing what appeared to be larger versions of children's clothes.
I'm more concerned about the baggy jeans and white tshirt in the OP pic tbh
I mean not "concerned" but it's what jumped out at me more than the tail lol

Ya a lot of college people are weird. I haven’t seen this guy for a while but there was a dude on campus who would go everywhere bare foot. No shoes or socks just his bare feet and he would go to class like that and everything. Like at least throw on some flip flops man.
I was using hyperbole to highlight the folley of on the spot judgements.
The point is that no, wasn't necessary at all.
Shitty way of getting that idea across now that I think about it.
This was like 10 years ago for me, but yeah we had the no shoes person too. Hell I used to wear a hoodie with sown on patches of bands on it. It was all college lol, what do you want me to say to my 18 year old self?
When it leaves college/conventions, that's when it gets.... weird. Just ride the subway in NYC for awhile, you'll see something interesting. I saw a woman wearing an outfit that had tiny plastic halloween skulls on it, in July.
Right?! Like, the tail says, "I'm ready to let my freak flag fly, this is the real me!" and then the momma jeans and ill-fitting plain tee say, "... but I don't really have any good ideas, so..."
You haven't heard about the woman who died on halloween on a train about thirty years ago? Her body was never found after numerous people saw her go under the train. The only thing they found was a single halloween skull.
Holy shit man. This killed me. You're so right! I forgot about that game haha.
where do y'all go to college where you see this kind of things regularly
i don't think i have ever seen a furry in the flesh, except maybe mascots or people wearing hair ornaments in the shape of cat ears if those would count

There is a gang of furries in my town that show up at a lot of comic things. FCBD, local small conversations, Halloween at the comic shop. Always 5 or 6 furries hanging out. They don't really bother anyone and kids like the suits.
I don't know, if it's so intrinsically linked to their identity that they would wear it in business or professional environments, I imagine doing anything to deny that would be discrimination.
Though I suppose furries would need to be a protected class first for it to be considered workplace discrimination. Who knows if that will ever happen.
I got a few furry friends. Truth be told they are very polite, welcoming, and considerate. Except that Foxler guy.
Pick your poison:
A: He's a furry
B: He lost a bet
C: He's trolling everyone and trying to get reactions out of people
