43. There's a sexual element in a part of the furry community

Thu Feb 5, 2015, 08:51 PM

Feb 2015

that is weird when they bring it into real life, and they sometimes do. That whole aspect of things is generally frowned on by the brony community, save in fanfics where writers "ship" characters by putting them into a relationship; that aspect tends to stay strictly within the realm of fanfics in bronyland. Harmless, as consenting adults are free to do whatever they wish. But it squicks me out a little. Matter of personal taste and nothing more.
