I don’t know that I would consider myself a furry, but I will forever and ever be grateful to the furry community for making porn and embracing diversity.

I grew up in a hyper-zealous Christian household—like the kind that buried guns in the woods for the coming race war. I was legitimately afraid when I realized I might not be cis and straight. I couldn’t even let myself look at anything other than lesbian porn because I was worried I’d find something out and be in like actual danger.

And that’s when I discovered furry porn. In that really weird place in my life I rationalized it as, “Well this isn’t gay because they’re not real and also it’s like anthro stuff. This doesn’t threaten my cis hetero masculinity at all!” Furries are also where I first learned about HRT and that bisexuality wasn’t just a punchline in 2000’s comedies.

I know that’s not like the ideal path to self-actualization or whatever, but it was an outlet for me to think about myself despite all the indoctrination and self-hatred and fear and everything else pre-teen me struggled with and I don’t know that I would be as happy as I am today without having found their community.

op is right, glopossum and funkybun make some fantastic comics tbh, dunno about the other two in the tags

There really are so many good ones though!

also if you’re not into the furry stuff incase is always a good go to.

The Venn diagram is unsurprisingly close
