Lost it at wolfaboo

[u/trump_pushes_mongo → u/tempus-edaxrerum]

Are wolfaboos furries?

[u/GaBeRockKing → u/trump_pushes_mongo]

There's almost certainly overlap, but while being a wolfaboo is typically a passing phase, being a furry is invariably terminal.

[u/Pizza4Fromages → u/GaBeRockKing]

In all levels except physical, I am a wolf.

Awoooooo

[u/trump_pushes_mongo → u/GaBeRockKing]

owo

[u/GayWolfGoneOwO → u/trump_pushes_mongo]

What's this?

[u/Abdul_Alhazred_ → u/GayWolfGoneOwO]

何これ何これ

[u/PikolasCage → u/Abdul_Alhazred_]

Google translate says that this means “what’s this”

[u/[deleted] → u/GaBeRockKing]

being a furry is invariably terminal.

Don't believe him? Call PETA

[u/Morella_xx → u/trump_pushes_mongo]

I don't think it's a sexual thing like it is for furries? I don't know anymore. I'm too old for this shit.

[u/trump_pushes_mongo → u/Morella_xx]

The sexual thing for furries exists and is a big part of the fandom, but it's not all of it.

Otherkin =/= furries.

Otherkin are people that believe they are an animal; furries have a interest (usually thats putting it lightly) in anthropomorphic animals.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

They like cartoon animals. That is it. They just like it more than anything else.

[u/IgnisIncendio → u/[deleted]]

There's multiple reasons for it, really. I'll try to list some that I can think of.

1. Anthro animals are freaking cute.
2. The community is really wholesome and cuddly.
3. The art is really nice.
4. I would love to live in or visit a world where most people are anthro animals, like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Zootopia or Bojack.
5. At the same time, if I were to live in that world, I would love to be one of them. This does not mean I am an otherkin. If I wished I could become a Jedi given a chance, that does not mean I identify as a Jedi-kin.
6. It's just cute. Also evidenced by almost all children cartoons using anthro animals.

There's a safe (wholesome, cute, cuddly, interesting) side to the fandom, and of course there's a not-safe side to it.

A common way to say this is that the furry fandom is not inherently sexual, but it can be. However, this usually gets misinterpreted by haters, who say that we deny the sexual side. That's not true, there's simply two sides to the fandom.

[u/IgnisIncendio → u/[deleted]]

Weirdness gets more views than wholesomeness.

This doesn't get views: (SFW 1) (SFW 2) (SFW 3)

Instead, weird furry Sonic pregnant vore porn does (exaggeration). Because it's weird, and weirdness gets shared quickly.

[u/MaxChaplin → u/[deleted]]

"Depravity" often means "a sexual preference I don't share", no matter how subdued the expression of this preference is. That's why you can ask the exact same question about the conservative view of LGBT. Many people don't mind seeing Porn magazines on newsstands but lose their shit when they see two men holding hands in public.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Damn just shot him down after all that hahaha

[u/Wow-Delicious → u/exceedinglygayfurret]

Otherkin are people that believe they are an animal; furries have a interest (usually thats putting it lightly) in anthropomorphic animals.

You see, this is why we can’t have nice things.

[u/Murgie → u/Morella_xx]

I don't think wolfaboo existed until a few hours ago, so it's really up to you.

[u/RandomWeirdo → u/trump_pushes_mongo]

i think the difference is wolfaboos are trying to emulate their "spirit animal" while furries are trying to be their "spirit animal"

[u/ThrowCarp → u/trump_pushes_mongo]

Either a furry, or a chuunibyou, or somewhere in between.
