What do you think about other groups then? There's plenty of people cosplaying characters from media, sometimes in a very tame way, sometimes very much not. Those can be the same people, in the same outfits, minutes apart. You have people cosplaying Princess Leia in basically lingerie, is that alright?
[Insert words of judgement here]
Nah, they are just your average white supremacists except they also have a fursona. It doesn't have to be intermeshed like that.
Surely you can see that dressing up as a character like that is different from furries. First of all, there's a lot more people that do that specifically for "halloween" or "for this photoshoot" or "for a con" than "let's go to Target on March 07th dressed as Slave Leia and do creepy stuff" which, yeah, I'd have similar questions about wtf was going on if that was a thing that ever happened. Like yeah if I go to comic con or whatever and people are dressed like comic characters? Ok. If I go to furcon or whatever and see furries, cool. If I go to the coffee shop and see either a furry or someone being creepily sexual as some comic person, you betcha I'm equally creeped out either way. Idk why it seems to be hard for people to parse.
"Ah, you vill not judge me for my kinks, bleh bleh bleh, vatch me suck ze blood from my victims in public, I don't care if you think ve should take it somewhere appropriate! Watch us do ze Mash, ve do ze Monster Mash right here in front ov everyone."
And yeah probably but that's less funny.
