Somefurry explain furries to me.

I can't say I understand them entirely, but not all furries actually wants to *be* an animal. Some just like drawings of anthropomorphic animals.

Being serious this time, this kind of rationalization was applied to openly gay people hardly a decade ago. I wouldn't be so quick to assume it's that simple.

What was it rationalizing? Flamboyantly gay men understand that their mode of behavior and dress will bring attention, both positive and negative to themselves. Please explain the complexity to me, if you feel that my explanation is unclear.

thought you were in a relationship. Is she not into it?

She isn't really into it in actuality, although she does like it, she doesn't like the whole "Owner" thing.

It is a call for attention because it's a costume. I don't mean to go all "societal norms" on you here, but seriously. Do you actually dress that way? If so, what is the response? If not, why not? Is it because of the fear of the response?

To you, its a costume, to me, its what I want to wear.

I do not wear it because of how society frowns upon it. If I did, I would get shot the second I walked outside in all honesty. I do wear it at conventions and such, because that is the only place I can be my true self.

How did you guys manage to derail a perfectly good discussion of hats and fashion?

Actually, no. I never once said that. What I said was, how society frowns upon it, and that I would get shot the second I walked out my front door dressed like that.

How is saying that, saying I do care what people think?

I personally think you are asking for attention even now by using hyperbole. But that's just me.

I dunno. Original sin or something? Is this gonna be on a test?

I don't think Taskmage was talking about people who are flamboyant.

What other visible indicators of homosexuality are there?

Re: Official Bored at Work / Off-Topic Chat Thread II

Goddamn it you guys are posting too fast. We need an actual chat room and not a chat thread.

EDIT:

What other visible indicators of homosexuality are there?

Two guys holding hands. Or just about anything else that isn't considered too much PDA that a straight couple could do, I guess.
