    Furries are people who enjoy dressing up as or creating characters based on anthropomorphic animals, which are animals that have human-like traits such as walking on two legs, talking, or wearing clothes. These characters might be foxes, wolves, cats, or any other animal but with a personality or appearance that feels human-like.

    Some furries create artwork, write stories, or role-play as these characters online, while others might dress up in costumes called "fursuits" to bring their characters to life in the real world. It’s a hobby and a community that’s mostly about creativity, imagination, and expressing yourself through these animal characters.

    Is this a community, is this a sexual thing?

    It can be either or both. I think for the most part it is community though. For some it starts as one and then expands into the other. For me it really is a lot about self discovery & self expression, SFW & NSFW, and makes me feel more connected to the world.

    Or to put it in mature comic form: https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/furry/

    Is it an American thing?

    No, European here with quite some insight. I think the map in the other post is slightly misleading, as bigger countries like the US have more conventions than smaller countries is kind of obvious.

    If you have more questions, feel free to ask 😊 I will do my best to offer my perspective on this.

    I agree, that this move is mostly about getting some time and deeper issues still need to be addressed. However, by law, if the party is banned so are followup parties.

    What the left in Europe (well in my country at least) still doesn't understand is that they're not going to fix this by lecturing the populist voters about how all their thoughts and ideas are wrong.

    I do not agree with this sentiment though. Because for a big part their thoughts and ideas are just wrong (e.g. scientific denial (like climate or vaccinations) or hate against certain groups). We cannot say 'well they have a point' when they simply don't have shit.

    Ich erwarte nicht zwangsläufig, dass unsere liebe Pastorin austritt. Sie versucht ja Änderung aus dem Inneren zu schaffen und das ist definitiv eine gute Sache. Aber es lesen ja auch durchaus andere den Artikel, die sich vielleicht nicht mehr so der Kirche nah fühlen und noch Kirchensteuer zahlen. Oder die vielleicht auch lieber ein bisschen Druck auf die Kirche ausüben wollen. Denn ja, die Kirche ändert sich sehr sehr langsam - aber das macht sie nicht aus eigenen Stücken, sondern wegen internen (unsere liebe Pastorin) sowie externen (z.b. immer mehr Kirchenaustritte) Antrieben.

    Nichtsdestotrotz haben die ja ein wirtschaftliches Interesse, dass möglichst viele Leute Brillen tragen. Und wenn es sagen wir mal eine 300€ Pauschale pro Jahr gäbe, würden ja auch mehr zu den teuereren Modellen greifen.
