UPDATE: can’t help but to notice not ONE of you have answered the question you just keep telling me about furries. I want an answer to why so many people are role playing as aninals
Appropriate answer: Escapism.
Lemmy answer: people want to fuck animals.
Are you not an animal? Be you vegetable or mineral?

I think you’ll need to be a little clearer about what you think the distinction is here. What is “animal roleplay” to you? Where are you seeing it being done?
Because the internet is full of furries. Which isn’t a bad thing it’s just people are judgemental as fuck and think being a furries is childish.
That’s not explaining why they are doing it
Um, no idea what you mean. 👉👈😅
The oldest known sculpture is of a furry, and the oldest known cave painted art is furry art. We’ve been imagining what it’s like to not be human for as long as we’ve been human. Nothing weird about it unless people want to make it weird.
So a sculpture depicting a feline standing on it’s hind legs which they do when reaching up a tree is a furry to you?
Did you actually look at the image of the sculpture? It’s not reaching up. It’s just standing.
How about you all answer the question
Wild cats are known to stand for better perspectives when hunting, although rarely caught thats why that sculpture which by the way surely isn’t 40,000 is depicting the rare event. It’s not a furry lol
Imma guess, like most things it seems, they always have been, we just see it more thanks to the internet.
No. When i was growing up, never saw this ever and the internet was still around. This is something else
There are photos of my grandparents dressing up as animals for carnival back when they were living under communist rule so before the Internet. I found them when I was clearing out their house bc they moved to a retirement home. And I think if my ancestors had the ability to make photos of everything they were doing I bet someone already did the same thing before them. And since festivities like carnival also come with an easy atmosphere and quite some alcohol consumption I would not be suprised if they also did some roleplaying if they were already wearing the costumes why not.
The Internet now just brings these communities together and makes them more visible I’d say
