Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

I read the FAQs to find out the difference, and now I kind of wish I hadn't.

Whitefonted for the delicate flowers amongst all y'all:
Furries are, you know, furries. Some of them like to dress up as animals (sometimes giant stuffed animals, sometimes more realistic dress-up). Some of them like to have sex (with other humans) while so dressed. It's primal, transgressive, connected to some deep lower-mammal or high idealized self they can't access at other times.
Plushies like to have sex with their stuffed animals. Not people dressed like stuffed animals (not that they're ruling that out; they like teh sex with teh humans, too, but the particular plushie who wrote these FAQs made pro-human-sex noises without specifying any garb), but the actual stuffed animals. FAQ Guy asks, "What could be more natural? Everything about stuffed animals, their softness, cuddliness, cuteness, is designed to be loved." Also, you should be sure to wash them and comb out their fur after sex, unless you like them all messy, and if you're out shopping and see an animal you can't live without you may want to stock up on extras for that inevitable time when you need to retire the first.
Any questions, class?

What would you classify someone who likes to dress up as one of the Teletubbies as? The former, right?

I think so. The latter don't seem that interested in dressing up themselves (or, at least, the one representative of the latter who wrote those FAQs), just in the plush state of their beloveds.

Wouldn't dressing up as a Teletubbie be considered cosplay?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I love that Minearverse is hosting a furries v. plushies debate.

I wasn't naming names!
(But, yeah, painfully obvious who I was talking about! Teletubbies? PETE. GIANT FREAKING RABBITS? Patrick. Such. Enormous. DORKS.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think it depends why you're dressing up as a Teletubbie.
