Heheheh, what irony. Right now I'm wearin a black T-shirt (that didn't fit
me a month ago, WHOOT! =P) that says "You laugh because I'm different, I
laugh because you're all the same."
Fits me quiet well, heheh.
I do a lot of thinking about this topic, and to put it shortly (LOTS of mail
to read today), it's all just one big grey area. Some mundanes (I don't even
like this term, but maybe I'll go on about that later) hate furries, some
don't mind, some like em but aren't. Some furries are in it just for the
sex, some furries don't care about the sex at all, and most are somewhere in
between. A label doesn't say anything important, and when they ARE used
they're often used wrongly. I try to avoid the whole Mundane/Furry debate,
because it's really a null point. Almost all people have *some* element of
animalism in their makeup, and for some of us it just affects us more.
That's all it comes down to, really. There's no need to separate ourselves
from people that don't care one way or another, and for the people that DO
hate us, well... screw em. Se how much sleep I lose because some
close-minded fool in Kentucky thinks I'm a freak. It's all about
perspective, and how you see yourself.

Hmmmm, so true. I actualy was pondering this today. And all that you
say makes sense. I don't have a fursona, but I'm into it enough to be
considered one, I do wager. It is funny, though. So many people have
words used with animals in mind, yet would probably think us all
weird for liking such stuff. Well there's a saying I've always liked.
They laughed at me for being weird. I laughed at them all for being
the same.
