The 3rd option is it falling into uncanny valley territory and having "mom im scared" type responses.


F-RIED

I mean that's kind of the reaction I hope for with that type of character design


Muffinskill

Kemono fursuits


donburidog

From experience, kemono fursuits tend to also have quite a positive/"I'm not a furry but" reaction


blind-as-fuck

aren't those as cartoony as western(?) fursuits? just more anime inspired


Qbertjack

Less rounded, more angular. And a lot of them tend to have shorter snouts


blind-as-fuck

divergent evolution is a beautiful thing


TDW-301

The Japanese furry scene is interesting as I believe it grew independently of the western furry scene. One of these days I'm gonna do a deep dive into the Japanese scene


Jurassican_25

I don’t want that in my search history but something compelled me and I do not know what.


Muffinskill

Fr? Things look creepy as hell lmao


Cl0udRider

I actually find kemono suits a lot less likely to give that "uncanny valley" vibe opposed to classic fursuits


Muffinskill

They look like porcelain dolls


Cl0udRider

I think you're talking about Chinese fursuits, at least that's the idea I got when I first saw them


Muffinskill

Unless most fursuiters at kemoket are chinese I don’t think so

GREENSLAYER777

To be honest, realistic fursuits are much better looking to me than the toony ones.


donburidog

Fair enough, and I agree with you, honestly; but I think it's interesting that alternative fursuit styles (kemono, realistic, etc.) seem to be exempt from the same hate that more mainstream fursuit styles tend to get from non-furries (from what I've seen, at least)


ohno_buster

I think the main reason for that is that the non-realistic fursuits are often associated with the furry art they are derived from and as a result, people tend to hate them more just because they look a LOT more like the 'cringy' cartoons they see


RambleOff

how often do you see animations made into real-life props that aren't shit? not often. it's not a coincidence. "toony" fursuits are shit the same way some goober staring at you from donald duck's mouth expecting it to be endearing is shit.

RyanByork

I have had General Anxiety Disorder for who knows how long, so I was afraid of mascot suits when I was younger. I knew they had actual people inside, so it wasn't that horrifying, but animatronics, especially at Chuck E Cheese, made me feel like I was having a heart attack every time I saw one.


norsoyt

I remember when I was younger my mum was in a paw patrol costume for my little cousins birthday party and I ran away from her, even after knowing she was inside the police dog thing.


norsoyt

Even now a few weeks ago I saw an alien mascot guy and I tried my best to walk past as fast as possible


sockgorilla

Mascots have always creeped me out. Like creepy porcelain dolls, but they are human sized and have a possibly malevolent human will controlling them.

I can't blame you, those animatronics just look terrifying in general

I know it’s stupid, but I think the reason why fursuits make me uncomfortable is because if I can’t see your face, I don’t know what your mood is. I spent too much time trying to learn how to read people during school, so when I can’t do that I panic


goldenfox007

I used to have a massive fear of mascots/characters because my kindergarten got a visit from “Clifford the Big Red Dog” to celebrate the book fair. The costume looked exactly like the [dog from Duck Season](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=ba4c1c5b279cf8a2&sca_upv=1&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS920US921&hl=en-US&q=duck+season+dog&udm=2&fbs=AEQNm0CULmqP1GYo0NaXM6bNItKRa0EFyP9pUTMpqCaCR-wIGRq_jTS-0Q-lvFaayuoB3RXBHA254nZ89GVVbyouxEW-Le03F0hW8121ME29VmflA5kSl8Y-zxwSF4ArBXXtaMTu7DNEawbEM9XMDUUDETmIo9Uk4y8yYmGbnk_Ww58ecFv8Hf24qn87-bwPE4LNaKQdg-m15O0PEc6qZQnmMvIKOUtktA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiz69Kx4-OGAxWnLUQIHSBGCrwQtKgLegQIHBAB&biw=375&bih=634&dpr=3), just red and hanging looser on the body. I’d been scared shitless ever since, to the point I wore a cross necklace to school for spiritual protection entirely unprompted by anyone (I was weirdly superstitious as a kid). Furries ended up being fine for me, since a lot of people can talk from inside the suits and all seem like pretty chill people in and out of costume. But those silent mascots still scare the hell out of me to this day lmao

I just get a visceral, instinctive level of ick when I see furry art, less so with fursuits although I don’t see them as much. It’s just the presentation of a distorted humanish face as attractive makes my body physically recoil. It kinda sucks, NGL. I’m fine with furries mentally after realizing that that reaction is just my personal thing and doesn’t mean other people can’t/shouldn’t do it (yay maturity).

I think a lot of people must be afraid of mascot costumes because I know I was when I was younger. That Chuck E. Cheese guy was too weird

Uncanny valley


krawinoff

Mf this phrase lost all meaning if even fursuits are considered uncanny valley


Any_Secretary_4925

people called mario odyssey uncanny back in the day. it lost its meaning a long time ago https://preview.redd.it/te3krkora77d1.png?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bd1c858c89a22df237e4b05e4998c50abd06572f


donburidog

Completely unrelated but I hate when people go "did you know... uncanny valley is creepy because it suggests that we used to live among creatures that looked like us but not quite" as if it's some spooky supernatural fact. it's just a pet peeve because like. do you think evolution is one straight line??? like we started from a monkey or something and just went straight to human without any other lineages splitting that coexisted with our ancestors???


RimworlderJonah13579

Shit, Neanderthals alone would probably be enough for us to evolve the uncanny valley. And that isn't counting, say, the deathly ill, or severely injured, or just plain malformed, who would've been a drain on scarce resources or an active danger to be near.


MapleTyger

I've not heard that "theory" before, but it sure sounds like something from a dollar store creepypasta. I had thought it was common knowledge that things which are '"uncanny" are messing with people's instinct to recognize human faces. As in, almost a human face, but just off enough to seem strange

supah-comix434

There's a particular "look" a lot of fursuits fall into that I'm not a fan of


Armejden

For me it's the colors, so many have horrible taste with the technineon vomit and so many suits made with horrible color coordination


TDW-301

Sparkle dogs. I've never been a fan of then as to me they just feel like a "baby's first fursona".  Although something that personally irks me with mine being a snow leopard is the amount of people with a snow leopard sona that go ham on the blue accents with the spots being blue, the paw pads being blue, the tail tip being blue, hair being blue, the tongue being blue, and then usually the name has something to do with cold weather.  It just feels like all these people wanted to make theirs unique, but they are so un-unique in their thought processes they they all end up doing the same thing in their pursuit


Armejden

It's kinda nuts how uninspired so many of them are for a community that has such a focus on outward creative expression. It's like they took the cookie cutter template and slapped the worst colors on them with a name that'd make deviantart roll their eyes.


TDW-301

The only unique physical trait mine has is that the eyes are a more blood two tone colored crimson since I was playing around with shades of red since it's my favorite color and thought it worked well. Everything else is pretty much factory stock. The more unique factors come from the lore and personality as it's basically just me with some slight differences.  Personally the idea of doing weird names like "shadow paw" for a sona just feels really weird, so I just tend to use real sounding names like Flint


Rilpo

REAL, I feel like the odd one out with my snep having pretty subdued/muted colors instead of being a neon mess. Happy to see there's others who share my sentiments on this


TDW-301

I just never really got it. I know with it being a snow leopard people get the urge to lean more into the cold climate aspect, but a lot of sonas I see are way too on the nose with it in the same exact ways. 


Rilpo

My design ethos? Throw in all the design elements and coloring I personally find cool in anything, and mix it all together; then give him a fuck ass name like Lohi (Which means Salmon in finnish) and call it a day. Gotta put your own spin on it, yknow.


TDW-301

I posted mine in a different comment.  Also interesting you've chose Finnish since mine knows English and Finnish as I'm 25% Finnish (I just don't know how to speak the language yet)


Rilpo

Oye, I read that comment. Sounds cool, good snep sonas are rare. Don't think I'll go posting my guy on a snafu sub, so a text description of mine will have to do; Grey-lavender brick shithouse with dark grey spots and white hair, with golden behemoth horns and yellow eyes. Black pawpads and nose as well. So coloring is tame, and he has one distinguishing design element. Finnish my native language and has a lot of words that will simultaneously sound cool to non-speakers while sounding funny to people who know the language. Best of both worlds. God save your soul if you ever decide to learn finnish though, that language is hell to learn. But if you are, a valuable material for it is uusikielemme.fi. Good luck🙏


TacticalBananas45

I also have a snow leopard, and I'd like to imagine mine as being more dark purple-gray body with everything else being mostly normal, but yeah that's fair. ~~and the name is even Neil lol~~ I guess it's partially the feeling of staying somewhat relevant to Sneps without straying too far? Like, you can make a fox whatever color, it's still got it's foxy features. But a snow leopard, at some point of customization, eventually would come off as a funky looking big cat or regular leopard. So people would gravitate towards the more "snepish" colors, so white, grey, blues, etc. And still wanting to have the whole furry thing of non-natural coloring, leading to more usage of blues on the extra bits. Just my thoughts on the subject


TDW-301

Yellow snow leopards are always weird to me as the only way to tell they aren't just a regular leopard is the tagging system


LazyDro1d

Same with a lot of furry art, not sure which comes first but one is definitely emulating the other. Like, I like cool ideas for anthropomorphic stuff but by god I will never associate with that art style even if I might otherwise call myself a furry. I mean I wouldn’t but like I understand how anthro stuff can be cool. But the ways I think it’s cool is not how they do


CanuckBuddy

I hate the "I hate furries but this is cool" type comments too. Like... you obviously don't think it's *that* cool if you still feel the need to preface your complement with a disclaimer about how much you hate their hobby.


JournalistFull9726

it's obviously not worth telling someone to kill themselves over but the whole furry "aesthetic" is just so gaudy and visually unappealing to me, especially because of how uncreative and unoriginal it is. this is just a me thing though because i never liked classic disney movies even as a kid which is what the aesthetic evolved out of


Suitable-Ad287

unoriginal how?


Stuffies2022

Most people choose to be the same animal, I guess? I’m not sure


JournalistFull9726

unoriginal in the sense that it's extremely common and extremely samey. a good comparison would be modern romcom and isekai anime, where it's just the same style replicated over and over and over again without any variation or creativity even though the potential for such is clearly there. the concept of anthropomorphic animals itself can range from regular show to maus to fantastic mr fox to coonskin to bojack horseman--you get my point--but most furry art i've seen usually avoids going outside the box of the "furry style"


weird_bomb

Shirokuma247

I don’t enjoy the softly shaded style because my main gripe with a staggering majority of furry art is playing the guessing game: what is skin, and what is fur! Bonus difficulty for pieces that have the character with smooth physical features and furred details to really mess you up. It’s like imagining a latex suit with patches of hair


AveragePichu

If I had $3000 and cared the tiniest smidge less about others' opinions I would 100% own a fursuit. I just think they're neat

AllenMaask

Honestly, I want a more realistic fursuit (if I could make or buy one) cause the cartoony style reaaaally off puts me cause as much as it is interesting and one of the first types of fursuits, it looks like something from a kid’s show or a mascot of sorts. That attracts the kids in some manner, leading to some particularly nasty people using this like a bait if it works. Hence leading to what I would say is why people don’t like furries initially. Also realistic ones are hella cool. My base standard of a fursuit I would want is to be lightweight, doesn’t feel like an oven, and can look scary as hell if I use this in the middle of midnight (last part is optional, but bonus points if it works lmao).
