By "respect", I mean I acknowledge and appreciate +certain aspects of a furry's personality. As of 2022, I am not a furry. +But I know a thing or two about them. Despite this single umbrella term, +they are actually a diverse community. In this blogpost however, there +seems to be no point in taxonomy. + +Warning: every sentence I write is speculation, i.e. not backed by any +scientific claim or even empirical observation. If you are a furry reading +this and what I wrote offends you, feel free to drop hatemail to my +mailbox at any time. + +It takes a lot of effort to be a furry. A minimum of one fursuit is +a must, which often costs a handful to acquire and maintain. The +bourgeoisie have it easy, but the rest of them have to be frugal, while at +the same time taking care of their fursuit. I respect that, as much as +I respect aspiring musicians saving every penny for a new guitar. + +It might seem strange to see a fursuiter on their way to a convention, but +what different is it from a fashion show? They both feature impractical +but aesthetic outfits. Despite the weird looks, the fursuiter does not +mind being in the spotlight. I respect that, as much as I respect people +who wear their favorite band's merch from head to toe. + +The average person does not understand furries. Indeed, explaining the +life choice of being a furry is less straightforward than explaining stamp +collecting. Nevertheless, furries are unfettered. I respect that, as much +as I respect fans who enjoy a starting band "just because". + +Furries are just people who happen to take an unconventional hobby that's +higher-profile than usual, such as stamp collecting, and not remotely +harmful, such as owning a fucking gun. I bet millions of non-furry people +call them weirdos. But I think what they represent is the fraction of +society who are just different, no more no less. I like things that are +different. Ipso facto, I respect furries. diff --git a/docs/random/index.md b/docs/random/index.md index 110cb76..9a467a8 100644 --- a/docs/random/index.md +++ b/docs/random/index.md @@ -12,3 +12,4 @@ Nevertheless, occasionally I leave a permanent trace along the way. - [The Real Git](realgit) - [The most important part of a smartphone is the OS.](smartphone_os) - [My Life Goals](life_goals) +- [I Respect Furries](i_respect_furries) |
