Anything with furries.
It's easier to picture it as another anthropological custom such as some primitive mask of the voodoo doctors, or something like that. It's more possible to understand it as a sort of human outgrowth of some deep evolutionary desire to dress like a spirit animal or something.
But pull up one internet thread and encounter one wild, unironic, uwu, and -- Gah. No thank you!
 
Couldn't, because I cannot play with food and if I saw images that made me feel sick, then I would not eat afterwards for quite some time.

Hey, it was all in the October spirit of PG13 macabre and fun. Sort of on par with film noir mixed with humor.

I thought the topic might be festive.
 
Anything that has the potential to turn political, or disrespectful/inflammatory :grimacing:

Which is why I'm mostly sticking to statuses now... Don't want curiosity to kill the cat.
 
I will read any thread if it appears to be interesting, but will pass on reading topics beat to death by the same members.

Thankfully this forum has a variety of very smart members that allow others to learn new things. Thank you for that !

I know a lot of those folks are also autistic, but there's something about the fursuits-and-waifu-pillows side of autism culture that I just don't want any part of.

To play devil's advocate a bit, I can understand it to a point... sorta. I do cosplay myself, because I'm a total geek-nerd of the 10th degree (among other reasons, my gender issues factor in). It's fun stuff, particularly with friends. Done in the right environment, mind you.

For the furries, maybe they sorta feel the same way about what they're doing? Er... maybe? I dont actually know any personally, so I've no idea... though I do know some of them take it *way* too far. Always best not to look things like that up on the internet. You might find.... "results".

As for the pillow thing, you'd be surprised how common THAT is. I *do* know someone with one of those. He keeps it hidden in a "that's totally not a giant pillow with a waifu on it hidden under that awkwardly placed heap of blankets" sort of way.

@Misery -

I have no idea what 'furries' or the the 'pillow thing' is. Could you please explain. Thank you.

Er.... are you seriously sure you want to know? Its one of those subjects that doesnt seem that bad at first but it gets really messed up really quickly. The more you look, the worse it gets.

To give you the basics, furries are people who are into animal/human hybrids (can be dogs that behave like humans, or a human with some cat traits and a tail, and anything inbetween). It can be for sexual reasons, or it can be because they like the idea of it, or the "softness" of fur. Some of them attend conventions where they wear large fur suits.

Body pillows are tall pillows (often around people size) which are a bit more firm than must fluffy pillows, giving people the ability to hug or wrap around them. Often, those pillows have a picture of a character on them, commonly from Japanese animated media.
 
Well, that went well! @Orange Glasses, congrats for demonstrating for us "Things you are curious about but too scared to read!"

(Me too, btw, I just gloss over it & get back to life as scheduled.)
