I think you should just embrace it.

Yeah, Khajit (and Argonian) Lore is really cool!
I play Khajiit because they have night eye
Edit: also I REALLY like cats
Similar reason I was an Argonian in Morrowind, water breathing.
I played an argonian because they're lusty.
That's just what they're maid to do.
Polishing spears all day long
I play it for the unarmed damage
I do it to level up jumping. I jump over city walks and I'll jump over your whole character arc, idgaf I'm khajiit
Punch cat
Yup. Combine it with the heavy armor perk which adds your gauntlets’ armor rating to your unarmed attack damage, and you can one-punch dragons.

I play Breton because they're objectively broken as mages. It has nothing to do with how I might or might not feel about their height.
Breton atronach mage, my goat 🙌🏻
Ah, a fellow broke ass build player 🫡
Why do you hate wood elves?
Why should I feel any different about knife-eared cannibals?
I mean, really, just because they have none of the rich ancestry of the Bosmer and none of the cultural and political power of the Altmer it doesn't mean I look down on the Namira-worshipping tree fuckers.
Wood elves ARE bosmer (bosque(forest)-mer), did you mean dunmer? (Dune-mer), dark elves.
Don't kink shame. We've all had those thoughts about spriggans.

I have a t-shirt depicting Inigo from the famous Skyrim mod that I love, and I often think people probably assume that I'm a furry
Nothing wrong with furries though
I play Argonian for that sweet, sweet poison resistance and ability to breathe underwater. But also because I'm a furry.
Username/instance checks out.
OwO what's this?
I'm not sorry
I only played Altmer or Argonian through all of my TES games. I feel like I should give it a revisit and get my kitty on.
I don't consider khajjit players as furries. As a gameplay race they're pretty cool if you like their strengths.
People that sexualize animals on the other hand... Furries are into beastiality. And that is fucking crazy shit.
(I knew a couple people would chime in defending the cartoon beastiality. Sorry guys, an animal is an animal, and you are sexualizimg them. )
I was with you for the first half. And I also agree that people who sexualize animals are horrible. As do 99% of furries. But then, I'd say that 99% of the population in general is against it.
The furry community takes strong stance overall against sexualizing and abusing animals. I've never personally seen a circle or group where it's tolerated. Not to say that it doesn't exist anywhere, but just that it's not something you're likely to find without looking for it.
Furry anthropomorphise animals, they make models based on animals and bestiality among furries isn't elevated compared to the general population. It says more about you and the general population that they equate furries with something about sex.
Beastiality sucks.
Furries are into bestiality.
when will this fucking stereotype DIE
Furries actively denounce sex with actual, real-life animals. Being into that is called zoophilia and if anyone in the furry fandom is caught even thinking about it, we kick them out faster than you can blink.

The best description I ever got of furries was that it's astrology for sex. The fursona is their sign. I've found it to be a good rough estimation.
Do you suppose different fursona species have better and worse relation with one another, like astrology signs? That'd be funny and awesome at the same time
Not that I'm aware of, but there are plenty of species stereotype memes. For an example:

I've never heard it put that way before, but it's an interesting observation. A lot of animals are culturally associated with personality traits (e.g. clever foxes, loyal dogs, proud lions) and furries usually choose a species they relate to, so it creates a system where people tend to self-sort into various tribes based on values and personality type. Look at any decently popular species and you'll likely find that most of the people repping it share a common set of traits.
That is a misconception. The term you're looking for is "zoophile", and are not the same thing as furries.

Non-furry here to say that I really don't care, it's just drawings.
