Furries

In today's world of the People's Instant Megaphone of Mass Ignorance, Poor Ideas and Odd Infatuations (the PIMMIPIOI i.e. teh interweb) all sorts of rather strange folks can commune and celebrate their own little brand of weirdness with ease. This tool accomadates my own urges in a semi-anonymous fashion while allowing me to hypocritically ridicule others. Still, some where there has to be a line. That line is furries.

Sure some people have disgusting fetishes like scat, beastiality, extreme bondage, snuff, trannies, dwarfes and the like, but at least they are at least just that: disgusting. Furries on the other hand are just patheric, firmly planting themselves in the category of "Losers". I'm not sure if they were just over saturated with Thundercats at puberty or at some basic level they just can't come to terms with the fact they want to fuck animals.

The really sad part is the internet has allowed them to gather and reassure each other that this is a normal and healthy obsession. That, somehow, this is a natural form of sexual expression. They even have conventions. Like all groups of freaks and losers there is no better way to solidify their ranks than to rally against real or imagined oppression. They even have a term for it: fursecution. I kid you not. Anytime someone pokes their head in a says, "Wow, you guys are really pathetic. I mean damn," you can be assured that it will be greated by cries of "Fursecution!" and a rallying of the freakshow.

This group has spawned other attempts at adding a legit label to other splinter groups like the Otherkin. These lonesome basement dwellers take the entire furrie idea to the next level: they really are animals "on the inside". Purporting to posses the "spirits" of everything from the mundane coyote or fox to the mythical dragon, fairy (excuss me "fae") or elf. Citing clinical lycanthropy (being a delusional nutjob) they often also cite an elementry knowledge and/or poor understanding of shamanistic religions and totems as a documented precedent for this role play gone wrong.

I mean what the fuck?
