once you get over your ass and realise you will never get some people and that’s ok you are basically immune to right wing fearmongering. otherkin? none of my fucking business
Or you can just BE the weird horny furry. Everyone else will feel so normal and tame compared to the degen shit you beat your meat too!
I think the weird ones with the horns are usually called Scalies. Wait no I suppose goats exist… Carry on.
Jokes aside this comment made me laugh so hard because before I figured out I was ace and was still forcing myself to keep up a “normal” sex drive for my ex the only porn that did it for me was the super degenerate kind. So for the longest time I thought I had just a bunch of weird fetishes but in reality I was just so asexual that it was indistinguishable from a severe porn addiction like some Degenerate Horseshoe Theory.
So I guess the point is just: Become Ungovernable. Beat your meat to Furry Porn
Not a furry, but I do have a TF fetish. Using furry websites exposed me to the good and bad sides of furries and ultimately has, I believe, led me to more critically think about the nature of online rhetoric when it comes to repressed identities and over-expressed identities.
I’m given to believe that a big draw of fursuiting, for example, is that they can be whoever they want in public. They can bear the whips and arrows of scorn because they’re in a silly badger costume and don’t give a single fuck about anyone else’s opinion about what they do with their time and money and bodies legally in public.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there isn’t some kernel of resentment against the ability to be who you want to be without fear of societal pressure that can cause a kind of overcorrection on other end that just pushes people into blind rage.
“Ha’ak! How can you even look at it! You let her,” and Vimes had seldom heard a word sprayed with so much venom, “her flaunt herself, here! And it’s happening everywhere because people have not been firm, not obeyed, have let the old ways slide! Everywhere there are reports. They’re eating away at everything dwarfish with their… their soft clothes and paint and beastly ways. How can you be King and allow this? Everywhere they are doing it and you do nothing! Why should they be allowed to do this?” Now [they were] sobbing. “I can’t!”

Honestly not even bad life advice…
You might not get somebody’s POV, you might think it’s weird or bizarre, hell you might have no fucking clue how they got there, but the end of the day, as long as they’re not harming other people in the process, does it matter how they view the world?
Being exposed to all different walks of life is a good thing, no matter whether it’s Tumblr fetishes or real-world diversity. There’s a reason that higher education leads people to be less bigoted, and this is a big part of it.
Edit: Just adding on. I know myself I used to be a lot more close-minded than I am now, and I credit going to university with that - as said above, it opened my mind to different POVs and walks of life. Albeit I’m still not quite ready for whatever fetish pooltoys involves haha
Weird opinion of mine; of the major varieties of porn, furry porn is significantly less objectionable.
- Live Action: major sex trafficking issues, “revenge porn”
- Hentai: its drawn and actual people arent harmed, but what the actual fuck is with Japans r@pe and child fetishes?!
- Furry porn: it’s drawn; you get some of the same awful stuff as hentai but it’s heavily frowned upon by the community and much easier to filter out.
This. I keep following many kinks in the fediverse, but I’m just a quite normie gay cis man myself. It’s important to understand how different people are, and be ok with that.
Every time I hear about a kink I don’t know, I am compelled to look it up. I have to know, I’m hungry for this knowledge
Here, the pool toy furs are kinda cute. I’m personally not into it as a kink, but they’re cute
Edit: add “order:score” or “order:favcount” to the search terms (for an example, “pool_toy rating:safe order:score”) if you want to sort by total score or number of times favorited. replaced e621 link with e926 so you can’t accidentally disable the SFW filter (just replace e926 with e621 in the URL if you want the naughty pics). Also added “animate_inanimate” and “order:favcount”. The latter can be replaced with “order:score” if you’d prefer to filter by user score.
Mossy, don’t take this the wrong day, but I’m laughing at the idea of you first looking at this post and thinking “I know someone is going to have questions about this and goddamnit I have the answers”
Thank you for your service
That is exactly what was going through my head, Mossy! Well, kinda. The other part is being like, “look, this may be a kink or fetish, but there’s plenty of sfw stuff; you don’t have to think it’s weird just because sex makes you uncomfy”. It sucks when people assume something you’re into is purely sexual because then social taboos kick in and you can’t talk about it anymore.
Imagine if you really liked plushies, enough so that you have a “plushsona”. You’re not into the sexual side of it, you just really, really like plushies, and you like telling people about the different names and personalities of your plushies. At some point someone gets it into their head that you’re actually aroused by your plushies and that you might even fuck them at night. Now everyone thinks it’s a fetish and no one wants to talk about your “”“perverted interests”“” anymore.
That’s why. That kinda shit sucks.
Edit: it feels kinda weird to admit this, but I honestly, unironically like furry porn for the artistic aspect of it. Sure, it makes me horny, but that’s not why I like it. If I wanted something to just get off to, AI has gotten good enough that I’m sure I could generate something that’d strike my fancy.
But that’s not why I enjoy it. I like the fact that you can see that, while cartoonish, stylized and hand-drawn, these are pictures of real people sharing real moments of intimacy with each other. The emotions, interactions, and so forth feel way more candid and vivid than anything else I’ve seen. You can tell that these characters all have their own back stories based on their designs, the way they carry themselves, the way they interact with one another, the words they use, the clothes they wear (or don’t wear), and so forth. They’re more real.
I don’t get that feeling from traditional pornography, hentai or rule34 stuff. It just doesn’t have the same… something.
That’s also why I don’t think furry artists need to be concerned with generative AI either. I’ve seen enough of both, and even though a lot of the AI stuff I’ve seen is probably good enough to fool 90% of skeptics while also being more photorealistic than most artists are probably capable of, yet I still vastly prefer human furry-made stuff. AI’s just eye-candy. It doesn’t have the same level of love and care put into it as most non-ai stuff.
few words of advice:
e621 has a sister site called e926.net that’s basically just e621 with a hardcoded rating:safe filter,
and you should always add either order:score or order:favcount at the end of the search because by default it’s sorted from newest post to last and new posts can have mistakes including missing solely needed tags or having the wrong rating.
Good point. I don’t tend to have order:(whatever) because I like seeing whatever new pops up. I forgot about e926.
Edit: forgot a word.
My reaction to Sounding was “this is just like a different flavour of pegging, this makes sense to exist”
My reaction was “this is deeply unsettling and probably a good way to get a UTI, but whatever”
