PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

OH BOY IT'S TOUCHY SUBJECT TIME

As pretty much everybody should know, I'm at least minimally involved in a little internet subculture known as the "Furry fandom"

Oh lord, the sexual deviants.

No no, first I am going to explain to you what the furry fandom is:

The furry fandom is a group of people who like anthropomorphic (humanized) animals, so basically people covered in fur, or animals who stand on 2 feet and talk, etc.
A "furry" is somebody who subscribes to this notion.

Now, before you get ahead of yourself, that's specifically what a "furry" is, nothing more: a fan of anthros. (Although occasionally anthros [short form for anthropomorphic humans] are referred to as such.)
Example of mainstream anthros: Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse (don't look them up on a furry site, you won't like that you see)

HERE COME THE MISCONSTRUSIONS:
A lot of people think furries are into animals. This is not true.
A lot of people think furries are into children. Also not true.

HOWEVER, there is a little problem with the fandom: PEOPLE ARE FAR TOO ACCEPTING.

There are people out there who like little kids and dogs but that's illegal :(
Then those people see the furry fandom for the golden land of accepted fetishes, and now you have beastiality of movies like Alpha and Omega, (a movie about talking dogs or some shit, I didn't see it) and of course it's okay; they can talk, therefore show content (bah).
Then you have the people who are into children; apparently, if you draw naked kids, it's not illegal, so they draw naked furry children and it's awwwwrite because they're characters and you can make them as mature as you want.

NOW.

Now that there's a backstory, it comes to my opinion.

Despite all of the arguably cruel things I've said about these people: I think it's perfectly fine.

NONONO, no. Think about it.

You are a pedophile, just go with me on this, I'm not accusing you.

You did not choose to be a pedophile, agreed it may be a pretty gross thing for some people, but it's what you like and you can't help it.

You want to see a little kid naked, but it's illegal.

Do you:
A. Go rape a kid: Go to prison.
B. Jack off to a picture of a kid (still illegal, but nobody gets hurt)
C. Jack off to a drawn picture of a kid. Legal.

I honestly think it's pretty bad. I'm not into kids or animals (but I do like anthros, and think clean young anthro art is adorable), but they were born with this, it's not a sickness, and it's not aquired, it's a sexual fetish that cannot be changed.

There's laws cracking down to remove questionable art, but honestly, you get that stuff removed, and people are going to get desperate for their fix, and next thing you know, your child and/or dog are going to be abducted for some strange sexual experiment.

Sorry for boring and/or disgusting you with all this stuff, but it's true and needs to be said; also the furry website I frequent is always up in arms about this crap.
