xkcd and furry[edit]

xkcd and furs

#471 discusses the ridicule of furries on the Internet. The main speaker asks the fur to help her fly a kite; while describing the fur's "fetish" as "weird as hell", she points out the double standard of people treating furries as the "designated Internet punching bag", when they "are otherwise down with weird fetishes".

#540 again mentions furries in the context of relationships and a baseball field. Fursuits are seen to be just left of second base ("Hands under shirt and/or licking") but to the right of "The Orgasm Line". Conversely, crotchless fursuits are seen on the left of "The Orgasm Line".

#541 states that the character shown is banned from "Every American Furry Convention".

#629 talks about 'skins', a sub-group of furries that like to roleplay furries who imagine being humans and dress up as them

#919 has a character attempting to cram as many of "the most hated English words"[2] as possible into one sentence, and comes up with: "By my guesstimate, my frenemy yiffed so hard her moist taint made her panties preggers!"

#1138 expresses the author's peeve about "Geographic Profile Maps Which Are Basically Just Population Maps". (A presenter is shown pointing to three identical geographic profile maps, depicting "Our Site's Users", "Subscribers to Martha Stewart Living", and "Consumers of Furry Pornography".)
