Is this what a closeted furry looks like?

I asked my roomie who is into cutesy furry stuff. He grimaced and said that some thoughts are best left unshared.

Neither of us are very fond of the idea of human tails.

Yeah but what are y'all's fursonias. You could just be tailless furries.

His fursona is some sort of alien avian raptor thing made out of nitrogen or something.

I don’t have one as I’m only in it for the porn.

No tails either of you! Of course you don't have tail envy like this dude does.

A protogen? They have or are like digital masks.

Also same.

No it’s from a game? I can’t recall what it’s called off the top of my head.

If humans had tails would women get told they should wag their tails more?

50/50 that or it gets sexualized and women are told to put it away

Oh you're totally right. Dudes walking around with a hairless opossum tail and woman have to wrap that shit around their leg and sit on it all day long...

Or both at the same time. Why bother with consistency when there's women to shame?

Yep. Too much wag and you're a pick me. Too little and you're a prude.

If humans had tails we'd have clothes to hide and possibly restrain them and it would somehow be rude to move it. It just fits the whole self loathing much of the western world had going on for the last few centuries.

Japan famous for their outgoing and expressive culture

And the middle east and their known long history of free expression.

True. I was picturing puritanism and the strongly religious, but they certainly don't have a monopoly on prudishness.

Nah man, there would be some form of cultural disdain for types of tails. It would become another form of racism. Got your culture, looks, skin color, etc and at the end "tail type". There would be whole sociocultural wars started over tail length. People would go around hiding their tails claiming fashion forward practices to fit in.

Politicians would claim bus seats with holes aren't safe in order to put down the people who primarily use them. Activist groups would come out saying that pants with openings for tail comfort goes against the teachings of the Great Tailed God. Eventually there would be a change towards equality, though never justice. Beneath the false peace people would still be whispering and somehow those few with the "nicest" tails, born into fabulously-tailed families, would always have more privilege and often not understand how having a different tail can be an automatic disadvantage.

There is probably a good reason we don't - it evolved out because we seem to be benefited by hiding our emotions

Though the causal link might be the other way around - if we were better with dealing with expressed emotion we could have kept the tail

Could probably look at the taxonomy to see when we lost it and what happened to our tailed brethren

Or it has little to do with emotions at all and more to do with physical changes based on environment.

True, prehensile tails are super useful for swinging around in trees

I don't see why we wouldn't be able to control our tails, just as much as we can control our facial expressions.

What not getting an album for four years does to a mf

It's not like we'd have dog tails, we'd more likely have something like a monkey tail, which could be super useful. Monkeys aren't exactly known for "wagging when excited" either

If we had tails, what would our pants and underwear look like? 🤔

I guarantee furries have already solved this.

I imagine they have some sort of cut out held by button on the back side

They already come with two holes, you can't imagine adding a third?

I can imagine it but I'm interested on how to put these on. Based on the stiffness of the tail you'd have to make some adjustments like a button or something I'd assume

I can understand the allure of a tail. But if you make it a tail vs. wings, I'll take wings every time they can get me soaring through the air.
