THIS IS NOT A DOG IT IS A FURRY!

i’ve seen this picture a lot lately, and usually with really negative remarks, so i wanted to clarify some things.

this is a picture from a charity fundraiser for a children’s hospital that furries had raised $3,000 dollars for.. and in 2013 numerous furry conventions raised $189,820 for charities like Therapy Pets, NARF (a native american rights fund), and many wildlife preserve funds and shelters.

so yeah this person is dressed in an anthropomorphic suit and they’re being pet by a little kid, but there’s nothing inherent sexually about this (which is what im assuming most people have concerns about). cosplayers know that people and kids approach you for pictures all the time, and honestly this isn’t that different. this is just a kid who thought they were seeing a giant stuffed animal walking around and probably got excited. chill out you guys its not like the furry is getting ready to whip out a massive animal dong and slap people with it.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE THING. FURRIES ARE THE BEST PEOPLE EVER AND GET NO CREDIT FOR IT OMG

Also like to point out that just this week the Texas Furry Fiesta convention 2015 raised $16,000 for the Centre for Animal Research and Education.

A bunch of people in animal costumes raised all that money to help care for big cats raised in captivity, many of whom had been abandoned, abused and illegally bred. Thanks to the furries those animals can continue to live peacefully with medical care, food and companionship for the rest of their natural lives.

I just felt it was an interesting piece of recent news to share on the subject 🙂

Furries are a-ok in my book.  Always have been.  Sure there are some psychos and creeps but if I judged every fandom by the psychos I’ve met in them I’d hate EVERYTHING.  Generally speaking all the furries I’ve ever encountered at cons or in the real world in general have been moderate, fun and HUGELY kind.

So, yeah. don’t be so quick to paint all furries with the same brush.

The biggest furry convention (anthrocon) raised $30,000 for the national aviary last year. Charity seems to be something furries are good at. But of course we don’t hear about that because People In Costumes Weird

i for one support our fuzzy saviors

It…took me way longer than it should’ve to realize that wasn’t a real dog

we should make fun of americans more. why dont their shops include tax in the price tag. like how much does this item cost? its a surprise 🙂

Honestly, tea. I’ve lived here my whole life and I have never once known what my total is gonna be at the register. Total fucking mystery.

im an ex-american living in new zealand for the past two years and it still never fails to blow my mind that i can take a $2 coin, walk up to a counter with two $1 items, and perform the expected transaction

this callout is completely deserved

“Love is a violent word.” 

“Love is a word that shackles you.”

Touko’s ideology that the word “love” is “violent” and “shackles you” ultimately comes from before and after Mio died. Her sister was the typical perfect person that everyone loved, including Touko. By being Mio’s sister, obviously, she didn’t have as much attention as her. Which is why she feels lonely after Mio faced an inevitable death. The people around her say that she should “Grow up to be like your sister” which causes her to believe that becoming her sister is all she has, her purpose. Because before Mio’s death, she had no purpose. For all those years, she still can’t get that thought out of her head, which leads to her to “become Mio” in order to be perceived as “special”.  

“I love you this way” means the same thing as “I don’t love you if you aren’t this way”. This is why she is afraid of change, moving forward. Because she had adopted her sister’s persona of being the perfect person, people liked her. People have expectations of her because she is “perfect”. If people love one another because if this certain aspect of themselves, it holds them down, to be unable to show the side they want to be shown. She wants to be her true self or change, but because people love her for being perfect, she simply cannot. Which is why Touko believes that the word “love” is a “shackle”. 

Whenever the topic of “true self” is centered around Touko, she has this one look of utter disgust. This implies that she hates herself. Because everyone loves her personification of her sister, she hates her true self.

Her true self is being scared and vulnerable. Which she shows to Yuu. She says that Yuu is kind because she doesn’t “possess love”. That she accepts everything (her scared self) about her. She believes that Yuu’s feelings would not change if she (Touko) were to change. She “loves” Yuu because she doesn’t have any expectations for her, which is what she wants. 

“Please, Yuu. Don’t fall in love with me.”

If Yuu were to fall in love with Touko, realistically, she would too eventually start to have expectations for her, which Touko doesn’t want. Later in the manga, Touko says “I hate myself” which is followed by “How can I be in love with someone who loves something I hate”. She doesn’t want Yuu to love her, who she hates herself. Yuu wants to change, to able to love her, while Touko hopes she doesn’t change. She is afraid. Reluctant that someone would love the person she hates. 

Petrified by the existence of the word “love”.
