WHO: Caleb
WHERE: Gemini 18+ users only
WHEN: Early April
WHAT: So Caleb has a question. About furries. And lines.
WARNINGS: This may get NSFW Look I dunno if it will but the question is about furries and it might just given what the question is. Also unsafe driving practices. Don't record video posts and drive.

[It's a miracle Caleb managed to get the age lock on this, since he is driving. He probably started the process before he started the car, at least.]

So this is probably a terrible time to ask it, but I just had to deliver ten bags of White Castle to what was probably a house of college kids on spring break and a guy in bunny ears opened the door and it's been bugging me. [Oh no.] The Zodiac question, I mean. [Oh no.

A beat as he pulls up to a stoplight]

How furry is too furry? Like, obviously most of us on the app are kinda furry now so I think if anyone said "animal ears or a tail", we'd just call them a coward? But like...I read fanfic. The internet is weird. How furry is too furry for you to go "would" or at least "might"?

In all honesty, even after all this time I am surprised it tends to stop at ears and a tail. If some of you caught sight of a vastaya, I fear it would cause some kind of incident.

A whatsya? And I'm not sure it does for people on the app, but it does in general on the internet.

[Jun isn't really one to air his personal business, but when you see a chance to cause psychic damage....]

I've gone full furry, it's hot.

[. . .]

What?!

Vastaya; a race of people with heavily feline appearances. Or vulpine, it tends to vary a bit. Ears and tail, of course, but their traits extend to the eyes and facial features as well. If there is anyone here that borders on that, I've not noticed them.

Either way, I suppose 'bipedal' would be something of the line for many people back at home?

I've gone full furry.

[thoughtfully] ...To be honest, I hadn't given the subject much thought. Ears and tails are ordinary where I come from, although even then some people are...I think the phrasing is "unable to be normal" about them. There are tribes with more divergence, but they tend to be isolated and unwelcoming toward outsiders.

[not that that always deters the trashy novel writers, but those kind of books are usually pretty unflattering toward everyone involved]

But if it's normal, why would people be weird about it? ...and how much divergence are we talking.

...I'm not gonna ask. It's you and Varian.

Oooh. Kinda want to see them now. But "bipedal" is. Probably a good line, yeah.

My world's...'biodiversity', i suppose is the word--is different, with very little attention given to one's species or chosen relationship preferences. So I admit my perspective is likely a little extreme compared to those of a world comprised of almost solely humans.

[Viktor hummed thoughtfully with a shrug of one shoulder, the telltale sound of a pencil starting to quickly scratch across a notebook just offscreen.]

...In other words, I definitely had at least one casual hookup with a vastayan classmate when I was still an Academy student.

[. . .]

Suddenly this explains all the really hot tabaxi and loxodons and kitsune in our games.

It is not that many.

[it's a few.]

Besides, that was a long time ago. I haven't bothered with such things since I started working with my partner, obviously.

[What Viktor meant: 'I was too busy with research and development of literal magitech'.]

[What Viktor said: That.]

Are you actually that interested in a dissection of the racial politics of another world? [From his tone, the subject is both exhausting and embarrassing.]

There's a wide variety of shapes and sizes. The most relevant are probably the Amalj'aa of Thanalan, which are tall, muscular and reptilian, the Sahagin fishfolk of the Vylbrand coast, or the Lupin of Doma, who have wolflike heads and full-body fur but stand on two legs. I've seen all of these on the covers of cheap novels that promised to be deeply insensitive.

I mean, unless your partner was open to that I didn't think so.

...yeah good point.

[Moving on!]

...see, except for maybe the fish I've seen stuff with characters like that on the weirder parts of the internet.

[ despite his better judgement
he's going to reply
he's back to his usual silly self after all
in for a penny and all that ]

People who say they're into furries but then show their kink to be just ears and a tail are absolutely cowards. It's okay to admit to liking cute things...

Lot of people have a problem with even just a little body hair. So that's why that's as far as they go!

[!!! Sampo is back to normal and being silly, Caleb is so happy.]

Those people are cowards. I mean, you like what you like and no judgement but...everyone has body hair?

[On a staggering nat1 with disadvantage, the actual implication flew over Viktor's head at an altitude of 'low earth orbit'.]

Hm, no. I estimate we are both fairly annoyed when the other is distracted by something unnecessary.

[One day he will get it.]

That serious, huh?

For a world where none of these races are naturally occurring, the people here certainly do have vivid imaginations.

[Maxima you haven't actually answered the question though]

[ it's good to be back baby
he's got missed time to make up for ]

Less than you think!
The number of people who pay for Brazilian waxes or hair removal? Brutal! Have you ever had a wax! Yeee-owtch!

I think when all you see is boring normal humans, you get really creative.

[He has not. And Caleb shouldn't press but.]

So does that mean it's "scales" or something for you?

[He winces.]

Yeah, did that once on a dare when I was out in California and doing lifeguard work at a pool. Nope. Absolutely not. Professional swimmers are masochists.

[...ah. right. um. his composure falters for a moment as he searches for words]

...well. As I said, I haven't given it much thought, but I suppose too much difference in the face would make kissing someone difficult...
