weird "non-furry" furries
a year ago
General
It's really odd how there's a group just for "I am not part of the furry community" on FA.
Also anyone who puts their species as "human".
It's like, on some level they're more disconnected from reality than even the most deluded furries, just in the other direction.
Because it's an underlying reality that every furry is actually human, at least physically.
I couldn't speak for "metaphysical" furries because 1. the supernatural isn't real. 2. if it is real in spite of me saying it isn't, I by definition can say nothing about it that applies. unless I said so "metaphysically", which I wouldn't even know how to say.
So people who have to qualify if obviously do so to counter furries who would just identify them as a furry anyway, but the thing is they can still just do that anyway.
It's painfully awkward, and should be done privately if at all, but you can still just do it as long as you don't bother the person you do it with, with it.
One way or another, even if you don't identify as furry, the fact that you use a site named "fur-affinity" means you're now effectively part of the group to those outside of it who deem you so.
That's just the shit you get into when you bother with identity, or non-identity.
If you really wanna escape this cycle, you gotta drop identity entirely, human or otherwise.
Actualize insight into the reality of contingency of identity, forgo the notion of an absolute self, embrace the underlying emptiness of the truth.
Do not say "I am this" or "I am not that" unless it is practically necessary to do so.
maybe then you'll break the wheel, I haven't, but that's mainly because of circumstance.
