Being a furry is and always has been a sex thing for the majority of the fandom. Some furries will vehemently deny this but we have receipts going all the way back to the 1970’s: https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Vootie

Anime is not inherently sexual as a medium but has a well-deserved reputation for being associated with creeps and perverts.

Don’t talk about either in professional settings.

> Being a furry is and always has been a sex thing

I mean you could argue that about Emos, or Goths. Its not really true.

I'm sure sex is a large motivator, but you can't be doing sex all the time. When a Goth is dressed up all Goth-y its not because they are horny right now. They are just wanting to look good.

I imagine its the same with the furries, but the difference is, the furries are the butt of most jokes

You can’t just say “No, you’re wrong.” And expect me to change my mind??

Both being a goth and being a furry are about way more than clothing and appearance. Goths don’t really have anything to do with furries. I don’t know why you’re bringing them up.

Every furry I have met in real life thought it was a sex thing. Every normal person from the outside looking in thinks it’s a sex thing. Just look at the history of furry magazines and subculture and it is mind-numbingly obvious that it is a sex thing.

Even if it wasn’t a sex thing, would you want to discuss it at work knowing 99% of people will think of it that way?

What about good-looking people that enjoy it and dress more "provocative"? Reading some news with people in the gym or on a red-carpet is NSFW as well?

Okay, let me try this then: https://soatok.blog/2021/04/02/the-furry-sexuality-blog-post...

Key argument: What isn't a sex thing?

Holy shit that has to be the least convincing argument I have ever read. Did you even read it?

Oh course its a sex thing, but its also a lifestyle. My colleague is furry adjacent. I don't think they have a fur suit. However the rules and culture of furries are frankly quite fascinating. Like why are most furries dogs(or dog like)? why not camels, birds, monkies or fish?

My point is, there is an entire culture, just like emos, just like goths, and to me, that is fascinating.

So yeah, we do discuss it at work, and no I don't care overly much, because I don't work with 14 year olds.
