>Sweetie Bot, for example. She's a robot not a pony.
mecha= not furry according to you (although Sweetie Belle would receive the same treatment in terms of NSFW material)

>But in writing this all out, I see now that 'furry' is about the viewer. If you react to it the way most furries do, "This is how I breathe; this is how I see myself when I have to interact with all the stupid people who are chocking me with their everything" then as FOX Worthy might say, "that comic might be a furry strip"
yeah. In fact, I believe that the word furry might stand as of the most postmodern words that one could come up with. Tell me a word that relies so much on relativism and perspectivism both in theory and in practice as this one. The concept arises from a personal meaning that one considers yet while one might get a reference of it from the outside, the borders are far from being well established and a homogeneous use. Either the term feels overloaded or ends up referring to something really specific. Even its proper context, it still delivers a few holes depending on who you talk to.

>I could also ramble about my thoughts on the overlap of MkUltra slaves and furry / pony art
what the hell? That..is a thing?

>We then got a superiority complex and sealed the deal ourselves. I don't disagree there was antagonism on our end. We were autistic spergs too.
>But from those two things led to us being "independent" and having our own culture. If pony had been just a bit smaller we might simply be a subset of furries at this point.
you´ve nailed it here.An excellent summary in fact.
