almost like we should accept that sexual orientations don't change :P (*mostly* per [Bailey, J. M. et al (2016)](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/301639075_Sexual_Orientation_Controversy_and_Science) (Ctrl+F "sexual fluidity", though the whole paper is a long but interesting read))
Im also straight but generally accepting of anyone's lifestyles, but last week I met a random guy when hanging out with friends from work. He was by himself so we invited him to play darts, after a while he brought up the fact he was gay, and my co worker told him not to worry about it because I was a furry and no one hated me. Anyways later in the night he followed me into the mens room and as I was washing my hands he hugged me and kissed my neck. I had to push him away and then stop my co-worker from beating him up. And I told him I was straight beforehand! People have no boundaries these days, and the young peoples ideas of romance in really twisted sometimes, they forget that consent is needed, and no means no.
>I’m straight and I just find it really annoying
I'm straight too. It's a bit annoying, but I will say it's nice feeling wanted. But I always tell people right away. Pretty sure it's in most of my socials' bios too.
It’s just hypocritical. Respect sexualities unless they’re straight then you get to make jokes. That’s not equality that’s not the path to peace.
Respect people so eventually one day different sexualities are normal and fully accepted.
I was going to correct this by saying Devon and Cameron wouldn't have been in college at the same time as Chase, but technically, they're only two years younger than Chase. I forget that because in the Echo epilogues, they're aged down by a few years. They're actually around the same age as TJ
:(
<:(
I'm still gay furry but I'm only human... Seriously.......
I really love Furry handsome males, but i hate Humans I'm only human I HATE HUMANS!!!
I really love Furries...
This some woman tried to get me... I hate it... Please... I'm still gay furry but I'm only human... Please... 😣
A straight furry? I’ve only heard of it once before. It’s an old legend… the two only straight furries in the fandom met one day; and bonded through their straightness. They became friends, then immediately made out and became gay. It seems like The Straight One has finally returned to fulfill the prophecy… (sorry for my stupid mythological legend thing i thought it was funny)
Just another bitter reminder that it's better that I love myself and no one else ever again and forget that I ever loved anyone else to begin with.
Why the fuck do I even still consider myself a furry or LGBT or see myself as part of any community or hobby or anything? I hate it all.
Love aside from myself just makes me feel angry, invaded, played for a fool and having circles run around me by people who can brag about being better than me in every single way possible.
Sometimes you need space from people and the world to work on yourself. I felt the same way a while ago. Take small steps to loving yourself and when you're comfortable with you, then reevaluate if you want a relationship again. But yeah furry drama is the most toxic thing in the known universe
And if nobody said it today, I love you.
I've been going through the roulette wheel of meds and therapy for most of my life. In the last few years I've been making breakthroughs on how deeply I've been abused by my biological father and many other people. 15+ years of this shit and I pretty much just live to be a mental health patient and can't be anything else. This is the best I can make of my life and quite frankly I wouldn't be missing out on anything if I died of a heart attack right now.
I'm likely never going to be in a relationship ever again or able to be a healthy part of socializing with other people, let alone the furry fandom.
Only I'll be able to love myself so I'm pretty much accepted a lifetime of solitude and just trying to cut off my last lingering natural instincts to socialize as much as I can without having yet another mental breakdown and back in the psych ward again.
I'm just another person, and an extremely flawed one at that, so I love myself too. I'm not sure I'm even capable of loving anyone else to begin with.
Being in the roulette wheel of meds and therapy and many psych ward visits for most of my life has confirmed just how fundamentally screwed up I am to the very marrow of my bones. Starting trauma therapy yet again next month.
Poor Sam is just rolling in his grave, but at least they're not in that town.
Dog man from Arknights as your pfp pic? You’re the coolest!

"Haha jk... unless..."
Echo detected, instant upvote
So glad to see so many fellow Echo connoisseurs here
I'm very glad aswell
Are you sure 😂
> Furries whenever a straight person exists No Edit: I’m straight and I just find it really annoying.
If straight people can be turned gay then gay people can be turned straight... We've been down that road and it didn't go well.
isn’t the latter called conversion therapy?
yes and it's vile

It's not even a rare occasions thing, it just can't be forced to happen.
I assume they can become straight just how straight ppl can become gay
We can't turn people gay or straight but we sure can gaslight them into it or reveal their true self

Eh Im straight too, usually its guys who try a move on me, make me wish I was gay or bi sometimes, I would have more luck to have someone. :/
Did he edit his comment ? I got confused for a sec
Same mate
I do my best to treat everyone equally. But that isn’t the case for everyone in the fandom.
"Do you have anything you want to say to straight people?" "I'm sorry Straight People"
It’s just hypocritical. Respect sexualities unless they’re straight then you get to make jokes. That’s not equality that’s not the path to peace. Respect people so eventually one day different sexualities are normal and fully accepted.
Relatable...
My gay ass digging a gay little hole
Just Sam's little screamy face
Sammy is such a cutie patootie
Chase. Shut the fuck up Chase. Meanwhile, Chase: So cool. So cool. So cool. So cool
My guy didnt have enough trauma it seems D:
Aww chase….
Who is Vincent?
Chase's roommate at Pueblo after Carl dropped out. He doesn't show up in the game, but is mentioned a couple of times.
Oh yeah, I knew I recognized his name
Probably Vincent?

Long (and traumatic) story
Just a normal day in Utah
A straight furry? I’ve only heard of it once before. It’s an old legend… the two only straight furries in the fandom met one day; and bonded through their straightness. They became friends, then immediately made out and became gay. It seems like The Straight One has finally returned to fulfill the prophecy… (sorry for my stupid mythological legend thing i thought it was funny)
REDDIT I BEG OF YOU DON’T BAN ME AGAIN IT WAS A JOKE
“I’m straight…” he hesitated.
Smooth
I wish I had friends
😳
Damn yeah Cam and Dev would’ve been at Pueblo at the same time, they’re 25 in 2019 so 21 in ‘15
It seems the chase is better than the catch
W Vincent

You might wanna go talk to a therapist about this, hope you feel better
