It’s funny how cosplaying is seen as this weird niche nerdy activity… unless it’s as an athlete.
Although, having said that, we do have the term ‘full kit wanker’ in the UK, for anyone who buys the whole kit (not just the t-shirt, scarf or hat). Because, you see, there’s an acceptable quantum of cosplaying.
If I told people I planned to sit around for hours on a weekend watching TV, they’d call me lazy.
If I told them I was watching sports, they’d ask me what team I liked.

Pretty sure this stopped being true a decade ago.
True. Maybe if I said “video games.” That’s still frowned upon by some folks.
And you don’t need to go any further than this thread to see some folks frown upon watching sports too.
Wearing a jersey/scarf is more about showing which “tribe” you’re part of though. Going full kit is a bit different as it’s excessive.
True. But I think if I wore, like, a Star Trek comm badge, that’d raise more questions than if I wore an Arsenal t-shirt!
One thing has shaped communities and defined cultures for a century and the other thing is a science fiction show. It’s really not comparable in my opinion.
Maybe for soccer, but the above statement could apply to basketball, ice hockey, and football and those have only been around about 2.5 times longer than trek.
It bleeds over though, they are all team sports. Just like Europeans grow up with their local football teams being celebrated, Americans grow up with their franchises being celebrated.
Yeah I’m a cosplayer and a sports fan. It’s weird. They’re really cousin hobbies. Both dressing up in appreciation and support of some pop culture “team”—usually that we had nothing to do with creating.
These women just can’t understand that men dress and play sports for themselves, not to impress women.

Another estrogen filled rant from the woman-splaining fem-ocracy!

DO YOU BEAR OR SPORT??
What about sporty bears 👉👈
I much prefer bear sports.
WHY CAN’T MY SPORTS BEAR?
YOU’RE THINKING OF THE BEARS. THEY SPORTS NOT BEAR
It’s okay to cosplay sports little buddy
That’s a compliment.
My wife once asked me with a straight face if I had any “football cosplay shirts” and while it took me a minute to figure out what she meant, I couldn’t argue with her terminology.
SportsBall!!! Wheee!
And we don’t care who knows
Sunglasses on when you sleep. That’s a sport.
If they all just took turns, holding the ball and putting it where they wanted, then there would be no need for all the aggression.
I mean I could just go buy one, if I wanted.
Hey do you guys remember when I was super good at sports in the past? Wasn’t that great? I bet I could have been even better if coach had let me play in that key game. Then, everyone would have seen how good I was and I would have got to play more!
But could you throw a football over those mountains?
I could throw a pigskin a quarter mile.
I AM NO GAY, I WEAR ANOTHER MAN NAME AND NUMBER ON MY CLOTHES
I just want him to know that I know his favorite number :)
Women are so funny with their designer clothes and handbags, “I’m just like my favorite singer/actress!” haha, sure you are, lil princess 😀
Getting their nails done is hilarious, like aww, you gonna go change the way your hand operates so you can have your fun-time 3 inch long plastic shit gatherers? better show them off at the grocery store! 😜
somebody’s sensitive
me on my way to drive a wedge between the sexes until we live in genderstates and only convene once per year for breeding
For you that would mean less sex. For me, so much more.
Exactly.

Spending money on activities and on community is vastly better than spending it on non essential things and I’ll die on this hill.
You can’t act like there’s a substantial difference between the former and the later. It’s mostly a matter of opinion which things are trivialities and which things are important for happiness and community.
People that research happiness say that experiences are more important than things and that community is also important for happiness. So there is a difference empirically.
My point was more that there’s a lot of individual variation in terms of what things count for what category and even whether they’re enjoyable or not. You would have to pay me to go to a screamo concert. Other people would greatly enjoy the experience. Furthermore, at a certain point, you have to diversify the things you do. You can’t spend 100% of your free time strengthening your relationships, sometimes you gotta just buy some candy and eat it.
My dude its a funny post on the internet. Unlike your comment, which was just hateful and vitriolic.
Bet you’re fun at parties.
I don’t get it. I thought turnabout is fair play. I find both funny.
Turnabout is fair play.
But calling fingernails “shit gatherers” to insinuate women are dirty isn’t. Dude was clearly trying to be insulting.
Nah, they were being comedic. I’d wager they weren’t even the tiniest bit butthurt by the original jokes. You, on the other hand…

You got your panties in a bunch because the roles were reversed.
I bet you are the life of the party.
Their post was funny too until they said “shit gatherers” which clearly indicated that they’re trying to insult, rather than just joke.
*edited, not original commenter
I think you are replying to the wrong person.

Why are furries looked down upon but people who dress in fursuits at sporting events viewed as figures of fun?
The sex part.
You mean the sex has to be covert instead of overt?
No, I mean school mascots aren’t doing it as a fetish.
So…covert sex. Got it.
I think it’s the same energy a lot of furries bring to participation in their community to be honest. I have met a lot of asexual furries who basically just want to be a mascot they just don’t have a school or sports team.
That or they want to be a big stuffed toy who can cuddle with friends in a big non-sexual pile. Probably something to do with abstracted intimacy… Something like most people don’t look at animals sexually so for some their fursonas are at least as much about avoiding being looked at in a sexualized fashion which they experience regularly out of costume.
Part of my situation being a part of the asexual community back in the early 2000’s was a lot of people coming to the concensus strangely independantly that I am some sort of leopard fursona. I went to one con back around 2006 to see what it was about and while the sexual fetish component was present in side booths it doesn’t seem like the costumes themselves are supposed to be sexy - More like individuals become notorious for their personality and confidence through character acting which is something more like mime… So basically just mascotting but doing it to hype your own brand rather than aerving someone elses? I think they definitely are doing it for notoriety, attention and recognition but not quite the sexual kind. The fetish stuff seemed to be about as much of a thing as hentai anime porn and overtly sexy cosplay is to the anime fandom and convention scene.
The suit needs to be off during an act. Furries forget that part :|
What you don’t realize is that in this picture, the mascot is fully penetrating this man’s face pussy
Nobody is trying to fuck the mascot.
I don’t sports. All the men I know who sports seem to be very invested. Its cool though, I politics.
Do you Jersey in politics too lil person?
I jersey for sure. I’ll put my local shirt on wherever. I’ll wear my shirt for any walks or endorsements for candidates at the union hall.
Yes, I’ll wear my politics, if that’s what you were saying.
I don’t get it either. Both of them.
The team you like the mascot better didn’t win? Nightmare!
I wear my Arsenal FC tops with pride. Although I don’t get names put on the back. I fucking love football
mean girls are mean
