So help me God, the next person that comes up to me and asks me what I think of “James Cameron’s new furry movie” is going to get punched right in the temple. I’m going to say this once (and more times in this article no doubt) and I’m going to say it nicely – the tribal characters, the Na’vi, in Avatar aren’t furries; they are hardly even in the same boat as furries. To quote the great Dr. Evil, they’re the Diet Coke of furries – just one calorie, not even enough. I feel kind of stupid here, really, like I’m some kind of professor of furrydom which is not only a terrible job title to begin with but also something that hardly applies to me.

Whatever floats your boat, yeah? Lots of furs like to claim that “it’s not about the adult stuff” but, yeah, it kind of is. Saying that furry isn’t about the adult artwork is like saying you go to McDonalds just because you like the napkins; you aren’t fooling anybody. I don’t have a problem with furries, some of them are pretty nice – but it’s the socially awkward ones you have to watch out for.
