Byte, I appreciate how thoughtful and restrained you are, but please note that 1) furries have earned their reputation for sexualizing everything and putting fur on it. If it were just cartoon characters, like Donald Duck, nobody would bat an eye. Also, 2) they are evil. I recognize that I am falling into the trap of blaming the victims for their "fursecution", but i do not care.
Moreover, I'm convinced that Rappy is a furry. There is a proven correllation between furrydom, conservative politics, christianity, and repression. No joke!
Where's that been " proven " ? Or are ya just havin' a bit o' fun ?
'Cause I'm an atheist, and think furries are, as I said, somewhat on the creepifying side. But if that's something you're into, by all means... have at it.
Sorry 'bout your theory.
Summer Glau can simply walk into Mordor
Bones: "Don't 'rawr' her!"
Booth: "What? she'rawred' me first."

I don't think they're evil, but yeah, I even said that the furry fandom has earned their reputation. But what makes it different from any other fetish that has some interest in altering their appearance, to the point of finding non-human attributes/accessories attractive?
Humans aren't born with elongated canines, but the vampire culture will get crowns, sometimes they even actually bite each other and drink blood. Some people, yeah, they're going to find that strange and unattractive, even recoil from it. The sanguinarians, that's risky behaviour, you're even hurting people, albeit with their consent. So are they wrong? Are they evil? And remember, this is coming from someone who hates fictional vampires for being so emo.
So, except for the "barrel-scrapers" as you called them, which can be found in a number of fetish and non-fetish cultures... Why the hate for furries?

rappy, i am amending my theory slighty. i now maintain that you are a closet furry. ;) also, the words and deeds of such legendary furries as CrusaderCat support my theory.
byte, i'm being irrational. i guess that as a mal/inara fic'er, closeted geek, and comic book enthusiast (not to mention my fascination with...rpgs), I need to know that there is someone lower on the totem pole than me. Furries are despicable, and a safe target for other fanbois such as myself. Thats probably it, if I'm honest.
Plus, they are such tempting targets.

So, because I start a thread on Furries, or because I plainly state that they creep me out, tells YOU that I'm a closet furry ?
Wow.

Meh, if it makes em happy.. *shrug*
I know a few, but catgirls don't really register on the furrydom "realm" though, save in pretty rare instances, mostly because of two reasons...
A: different fandom, completely.
B: most catgirls ain't old enough to be even interested in that kinda thing, hell, most of em are still at the boys-r-icky stage of life.
That of course requires the somewhat embarrassing admission that I am the unofficial catgirl "princess" around here as a direct result of rather brutally jacking up a vendor that made an offensive and improper threat/proposition to two of em within my hearing - BAD idea, that, since whenever I get stuck watchin the brats at a convention there's usually a few of those in the horde, including Kiras catboy little brother, and I happened to watching those two when he did it.
The "princess" thing comes from both Gus and my Ex complaining about how prissy and fincky I can be about stuff, loudly and within the hearing of said bratlings....
*eyeroll*
So yeah, you upset/offend/frighten the local pack of em and they threaten to sic "the princess" on you, that'd be me - it's stupid, but it amuses them, so I'll play along.
Anyhow, different fandom, wrong age group, as a rule.

Really? RPGs? You and I've got some stuff to talk about some other time. :)
EDIT: Oops! Someone got the hierarchy before me.
