More power to the author , or being their own individual, but it made me feel a little uneasy. I dont mind people being a furry or expressing themselves, but I do feel like I was made a witness/part-of someone's kink and I'm not into that. I thought it would be dry infosec blog stuff and unfortunately opened it at work.

It's the same feeling when seeing a leather clad lady hauling someone's granddad on a leash around town. I respect it, just don't make me part of it against my will. I'll make a note to skip this site in the future.

This comes up a lot, but: Furry isn't my kink. I hope that settles it.

multiple times in that article it's admitted that being a furry is sexual--because everything is. comparing it to Tupperware parties, as if the rate of sex at Tupperware parties is in any way comparable.

If everything is sexual, then the distinction becomes meaningless and only something that is significantly more sexual than the baseline is worth remarking upon.

My argument is that furry isn't inherently any more sexual than anything else. To call it a sex/kink thing is not a meaningful argument.
