@grillchen @Erpel Even then. I am absolute no fan of dogs. Very wary of them. Still a furry is way different than a dog. There is a clear difference.
(The same is also true for Kigurumi which can look uncanny as you say but the difference is very noticeable to a human)
In the end its really all a narrative against people being different. Also hella invasive as well. And there is I guess also the ongoing stigma furries being connected to very bad things or sex (or both?)
