Do I have to play as a furry?

Looks fun but I don't want to play as a furry. Any fix?

i don't like furries much either but she's okay.
there's a big difference between like, sonic, and jimbobs furry adventure on itch.io rated 18+

This is the most sane thing coming from a homestuck fan.

You have the option to make her wear pants in the accessibility settings if that's the part of it you don't like. You turn it on, then you go to "attire" and you will have the option. Characters like Rouge The Bat, Berri from Conquers Bad Fur Day, and Candy Kong don't ruin the games they're from for everyone, why should it here?

It's a good game, try not to let outside stuff like the furry community taint and ruin everything you look at. You're able to like this game and not be someone who puts on fursuits and throws diapers around at conventions, lol.

Honestly, I like the pants option (and many of the unlockable outfits) purely because the idea of someone sliding around on their bare bottom as much as you do in this game sounds incredibly unpleasant.

Even if canonically the game's world is someone's corrupted dreamworld and logic wouldn't be a thing to apply there.

I wouldn't put that much deep thought into it. Characters like these have fur don't forget so I don't think it would be that much of a pain.

I'd also imagine characters like mario hurts his butt ground pounding, and sonic must get dizzy from the spinning he does and many other things they casually do. We don't need to put ourselves into these cartoony characters's shoes with realistic mindsets THAT much, lol.

Fragile masculinity at its finest, if you don't like the character then don't play the game... It's
literally that simple lol

Edit: Thanks for giving me the jester award for free points idiot, most people don't reward a comment they don't like

Idk what this has to do with masculinity, but ok

To be honest, what was the problem in the first place?
You don't become Italian by playing Super Mario.
You don't become Dragonborn by playing Skyrim.
You probably won't become a furry by playing this game. Probably?
You just play as a certain character. Shouldn't really be a problem.
However, I do think the lack of pants is weird. At least for the default look.

It's only weird because of how anthropomorphic the character is, nobody ever complained about Sonic or Bubsy being pantless.

We've had characters like these since pretty much the beginning of gaming. In recent times people have conditioned themselves to be uncomfortable and sometimes hateful towards designs like these because it's popular to associate them with weirdos that wear fursuits and act like animals. Now any animal character made that wasn't made in the 80's will immediately be called out because "Furry bad."

Just because someone made or likes designs like these doesn't mean that they dress like animals, act like animals, are zoophiles, play with diapers or whatever other negative trait you associate with them.

I don't care for that community either for similar reasons, but I don't let them defy every little thing I look at. Nobody cared about this stuff before so why are we fussing about it now?

If we can handle playing games where we violently shoot and blow each other up for fun and not be creeps, then we can handle a platformer with a low poly'd goat character. You're not going to turn into a horrible person for playing or liking a ps1 cartoon character. Get your sensitivities sorted out, it doesn't need to be as big of a deal as you might be making it. Just have fun with the game or don't play it if that's all you're capable of focusing on. You might wanna look deep into other stuff you like if this of all things makes you uncomfortable.

Tbh her design and color scheme is both attractive and awesome but more importantly, not overbearing like a lot of furry designs. I'm a guy who is more into robots and mechs (science fiction rather than fantasy) but Sybil one of the few exceptions to furry characters that I actually like.

My advice is to not let a character's design dictate whether or not you should play a game (unless its messed up bs). Just be a bit more open that's all.

im not a furry, but she bad

Miku PFP.
Im afraid it's too late for you

There's a small mod scene, maybe you can mod someone else there. I haven't tried mods yet. I'm a vanilla player, only specific mods I might try out.
Like the randomizer. Haven't tried it yet but I do love some randomizers I've played out there.

Seems there's no solid definition for what a "furry" is. Cartoon humanoid-animal characters are considered "furry", real life people who dress up as those characters are considered "furries", even anime characters with cat ears and tails are considered "furries".

The internet has successfully gaslighted people into thinking anything is a furry.
