I have talked with a few of them.
When I cast my vote here, I want to make clear that there was no better option.
The correct vote I should want to cast would be more something along the lines of "sinners that need redemption", and by that I'd make clear that it affects not just them but every sinner ever, aka everyone.
The furry community and culture has a lot of problems.
The whole anthropomorphic animal character obsession, which is the main focus of furries, is an open door to sexual degeneracy, which is rampant in the community. Still, not every furry has a problem with lust, and even among those who are, some of them understand the problem it represents for them and others.
Secondly, and this is something I have to think about and meditate on more, is that the concepts of fursona and roleplay essentially just is escapism from the real world, and is something that furries attach way too much importance on. It's a core part of their identity. And being a furry, having a fursona, displaying yourself as your fursona and being attached to your imaginary world, where you are different from how you are IRL, is a big problem. Escapism from the real world as a whole is a problem, but furries take it to the next step. It's unhealthy. It makes you believe for a moment that you are better than you are IRL, more beautiful, sreal womanger, et cetera. It also alters your vision of the real world and twists reality in your eyes. This will in turn create problems in your social, sentimental, sexual and societal life. A lot of furries dislike their real lives, or at least only live thinking about and living for their imaginary world. A lot of furries are underaged, which doesn't help at all.
