🐱 My girlfriend’s into furries. It makes me insecure when sports mascots are on screen.

Never in my life did I think I was going to feel inferior (or should we say infurior) when I saw a person-sized gopher … but here we are.



Dear Dr. Date,

I can’t watch sports anymore.

So, here’s the deal. My girlfriend recently told me she has a furry kink. Which is fine and all, but it’s now kinda weird to watch games with her — whether its football, baseball, hockey or literally any other sport — because she acts different when the mascots are on screen. Does she even care about sports? Am I supposed to think she genuinely likes the Philadelphia Flyers and doesn’t just like eyeing a 7-foot tall Muppet-looking Gritty? I don’t know! I’m questioning everything! And don’t even get me started on Goldy the Gopher. Never in my life did I think I was going to feel inferior (or should we say infurior) when I saw a person-sized gopher … but here we are.

What do I do? Should I tell her that her kink makes me uncomfortable and insecure? Should I abandon watching games altogether?

Sincerely,
Unable to make heads or tails

Dear Unable to make heads or tails,

It seems like you’ve got yourself in a sticky situation. There’s nothing wrong with your girlfriend having an interesting kink, and you should be happy she’s opening up to you. But if this kink creates insecurity, now it’s time for you to open up to her and communicate that. A good relationship relies on transparency.

As far as watching sports games with her goes, maybe practice some positive self-talk when a mascot appears on the screen. Remind yourself how interesting, cool and attractive you are. That’s why she’s dating you! And if nothing else works, watch your games alone.

You shouldn’t let her kinks cause insecurity within you or ruin an activity you enjoy. She likes you just the way you are. She isn’t dating Goldy the Gopher; she’s dating you! And until that changes, you’re in the clear.

Sincerely,
Dr. Date

If you're feeling insecure about yourself to the point of being intimidated by a furry you're a fucking faggot.

I mean I'd be uncomfortable if there's a possibility my girlfriend is secretly wacking off to Elmo's ballsack right in front of me.

 

[Compulsory Games]

Have you tried telling her to yiff in hell?

 

[whatever I feel like]

Cucked by Goldie, what a world.

inferior (or should we say infurior)

No. No you should not. That is the dumbest pun I have ever heard in my life.

 

[Edgeworth]

She acts differently when mascots are on the screen? Are you sure she isn't just autistic? 'cuz that's what retarded people do when the thing they like is on screen.

Or, y'know, maybe both. Plenty of furries are retarded.

 

[Santiago_Nasar]

its the girlfriend a white woman?

 

[Exigent Circumcisions]

This reads like a weak troll.

I hope they don't have pets.

That BYU cougar is so sexualized it makes me uncomfortable. Especially when they have him wear the football uniform with those tight pants, gyrating aggressively like he's in some 90s boy band. Mormons are freaks y'all.

If you find out your SO is a furry or has whatever other deranged sexual identity, fucking sever! You don’t need that in your life, it’s not worth it.

...If you find yourself turned on by that there's something really wrong with you.

Why the fuck not surprise her with a fursuit? Or maybe you drop on her that you two are going to a con, together, as a couple?

Lean into the degeneracy until she realizes how silly she's being.

They would probably masturbate to your avatar.

And then when she starts leaning into it even harder than you by dragging you to a "room party" with a bunch of horny furfags, sit and contemplate exactly where you went wrong.

as a couple

Meaning you don't go to room parties and you keep a close eye on her by asking her to take you around the con.
Most furries, especially when trying to impress a "normie", won't go near the booze or sex aspects of the fandom. This is partially why Uncle Kage blew a gasket when that furry documentary came out.

It seem deliberately fetish-y to me, like some deviantart creation come to life. It creeps me out personally even putting the sexualization aside. I think animal heads should have animal bodies and people heads should have people bodies.

I will when you stop double posting, faggot.
