Ah, that's what I have the problem with.
I admit furryism seriously squicks me out, but I don't think it's technically any more "wrong" or abominable than say, homosexuality and there are plenty of other technically healthy sexual fetishes out there that gross me out more. Eh.
P.S. I used to love yaoi, except now I've pretty much lost my attraction to Anime characters.
The thing is, Furries aren't zoophiles. You gotta get that straight.
I think Ignis is just seeing that from a point of view of being attracted to humans.
Take animals + give them human sexual characteristics = they're sexier!
But for someone attracted to animals, you have to realise that it's more like "take animals + give them human sexual characteristics = they're less sexy!"
Even sexual furry stuff is sexual in a human way, therefore being aroused by it has more to do wth being aroused by humans than being aroused by animals. If someone is somehow attracted to birds, they're not going to find it arousing that the bird is given boobs, because that makes her look less like a bird, which is what they're attracted to.
Even someone who is equally attracted to both has chances not to be attracted to a mix of both because ultimately it looks like neither and more like a freakish creature.
So I think the whole "it's bestiality!" comes from the fact that the observers see the humanisation as making the animals more sexual... which is probably because the observers aren't zoophiles, as a zoophile would be more likely to be aroused by a picture of a perfectly normal, unaltered animal that the observer would have no problem with since, to them, it's absolutely not arousing.

I know that. For god's sake, I know being a furry doesn't automatically mean that person has sex with animals, but furryism is close to zoophilia (I never said it was the same thing) in a way that disturbs me. End of discussion, yes? :rolleyes:
If I think took deeply about it, I'm slightly disgusted by the thought of people getting turned on by being inside of a fursuit, but I'm sure there's plenty of furries and other people out there who might be disgusted by some of my fetishes, so my feelings on the whole thing basically boil down to "whatever works for you, as long as I don't have to see or hear too much about it".
Edit: In other words, I'm basically okay with the existence of furries as long as I'm not made to think about them and what they do. Which I guess is a way of saying I'm pretty tolerant of things that squick me out as long as I can remain ignorant to them.
That whole thing reminds me of a quote: "Twilight: the story of a teenager who needs to choose between necrophilia and bestiality".
It's obvious she's a deranged emo freak, I mean she has no life so she whines about it then decides that a dead blood sucker is better than a living person.
Have I just gone insensitive to nastiness from seeing all the other abominations in this thread, or is everyone overreacting to the LeChuck/Scar picture? It's not that bad.
Once was really enough. You remind of a troll I wish I had never known. I'm not referring to you, at least I really hope I'm not. You could be the SithLord we've been looking for.
I dunno, I find that Scar picture more annoying than horribly disturbing, although I do find myself very eager to look at something else when confronted with a screen full of it repeated over and over. xD

EDIT: He's just posing, guys, he's not being...intimate...with the mast.
You missed out Winslow in the background instructing him to "treat her as though she were his second wife"

You turned one of my favourite quotes from whatever episode, especially when continuously repeated, into disturbing art. Kudos!
Ohh, Winslow, he is one saucy beast.
Will it never end??!!
"Good day, sir! Where would you like to go today? Keeping in mind we have to go somewhere, and you MUST TOUCH THE MAP!"

We frown on that around here.
It may seem that way, but it isn't. Furries don't want to have relations with their neighbor's dog. They're even disgusted by it.

(only because i overrid the copy of that with a copy of this: ∞)
Incidentally, what was Scar called before he got the scar? Unblemished Face?
It may just be that it's quarter to two in the morning, but i found that insanely funny
No, its just that funny!
Hot. Very hot.
*coughTakacough*
Rafiki wasn't cutting his nails as carefully at that time.
Also, I'm glad you're done, Highway, but I'd like it even more if you deleted the spamful posts of "LeScar's head x lots".
*hugs*
Good to see Teeth's pic is maintaining the level of disturbing
Winslow: Oh, that's nothing, sir! Why, once...
and how many girls go about sex with a bra on once they're in bed?
If TV is believed, 60% of them. 30% of the others have an L-shaped blanket that covers men to their waist but women to their neck.
That's fair enough but the covers could have come up to Elaine's nose (so that she could see underneath) or something.
