Honestly if they had a LGBT type of movement I don't see it doing any good at all. I feel that there's always going to be a large number of people that will look down on them. Dressing up as a Wookiee and going to a Star Wars or Sci-fi convention is one thing simply because that stuff is "normal". But dressing up as your spirit avatar(What ever they call their fur suits.) and going to a convention that's not based off of anything besides a fandom I don't think people will ever except. I feel that people outside furries will never accept someone dressing up as an animal or a make believe creation because this persons see's themselves as that to be normal or take it seriously.

Becoming socially acceptable works in two ways: you are the majority, or the majority wants to understand. Furries, while still incredibly easy to come across on the internet, are just not the kind of group that attracts enough general attention to become "acceptable".

Not to me. I'm just conditioned to be disgusted by people who are into that stuff, and my disgusts are hardwired, to the point where I don't even want to be not disgusted by them. Call me a bigot.

I wouldn't condemn or take away a furry's rights as a human being, though. They're just... weird fucks that kinda creep me out, which doesn't justify a hangnail on a tree sloth, let alone any attempts to violate their rights or anything.

Regardless of my own personal feelings towards them, however, I don't see them ever becoming socially accepted in my lifetime. They're just too out there.

They are, in most places. It's only a few people like you who think they aren't.

I'm just saying, I do "get off" every once in awhile, but I certainly don't have to. Neither do you. Your junk isn't going to burst if you never get your rocks off for the rest of your life. So I'm just saying, it's silly to act like it's a necessity or something when it just isn't.

Maybe if you promoted it with scantily dressed women, it might change the opinion of the hardline haters...

I frankly don't care. It's weird, but I'm not going to stop others going around doing their furry thing.

furrier

jesus fuck that sounds like the main character in some fallout new vegas furry fanfiction

I'd like to remind people that a good percentage of furries aren't even into the porn side of things, or flat out don't see the appeal in it but enjoy the rest of the...chaos.

I don't see why people care what other people yank it to.

I realize generalizations are fun, but come on. If you go to their conventions they're hardly sexual for the most part.

Which even more makes me question why people give a shit about furries.

No.

Speak for yourself.

I guess this is the right time to say that I don't consider myself a furry anymore. It felt fun while it was still relatively new to me, but now it's just like any other art form to me, nothing that stands out.

They don't need to be. It's a fetish. It's fine that they like the art, but there's no reason that it needs to become "socially acceptable."
