But whether they evolved naturally or not is irrelevant to whether or not they're furry

Let's say you had the ability to change your own traits as you need to. Let's say you were wanting to physiologically change your body to be able to travel in, and live off of, the ocean.

They're clearly based on real life birds(primarily eagles)

not really

They're not really based on eagles.

idk how this is an argument, it takes 1 look at them to know theyre furry

Look at their adult beaks

not exactly an edge case

it's hard to actually link them to a real life bird, or at least a single one

Well first of all you guys are talking about a fictional animal

No tomiel tooth so it's not a falcon

Looks like an eagle's beak to me

that's just the beak though

Right, but that's why I said based on and not actually are eagles

They're not real animals, so I couldn't tell you their biology

Only what they are based off of in real life

genuinely curious-- when does something become furry in your eyes?

~~When it puts on the fur suit.~~

like, are the Rito from Wind Waker still furries?

Ooh, valid point, the Rito in Windwaker had a less 'furry' design than Breath of the Wild...

because they have beaks... (for noses what)

I'd say wind waker rito are getting close, and it's a stretch, but I'd understand why someone may feel that way

It's the classic cat girl vs furry scenario

There was a significant design change. When I refer to Rito, I'm specifically thinking of Windwaker.

so then could you say the asari from mass effect are octopus furries?

Are they based on octopus? I'm not familiar with the series

they have weirdly flat tentacle hair

Asari are weird to me; it's like they're designed to be a sexual fantasy race

I honestly hate the design of the asari

bland and uninspired

I mean more about the lore for the race

I see a distinct difference between characters such as Sonic, Dust, or Bubsy and characters like Ruto and Medli.

also are xenomorphs furries?

Better example, compare Amy, or 'Ginger' from Dust.

I could agree that Rito reaaaaaaly skirt the line

I'd argue though that Zora generally make sense, from a purely evolutionary perspective.

To the point that they are a race, and not simply anthropomorphic animals.

What's the debate currently going on about?

is rye a furry

/debate

lel

I recuse myself from this debate.

(from the debate about me being a furry or not)

If you have a furry pfp, then you are a furry, simple

it's okey my dude

everyone is just a potential furry in denial

Does that mean I'm a god?

Just send in a picture of yourself in a suit so we can debate off of evidence instead of heresay

is my pfp a furry?

I wouldn't say so

looks like it.

I can't actually see it in full though

It looks like it's got a proper animal head...

i'll post full picture

I don't know WHAT that is.

It's not a furry, though

It has hair, but not fur

check shitposting

Is it a skinned Ink-Eyes?

If so, furry

nope

custom race

realistically, the closest animal they appear to is humans/primates

and they look nothing like humans

But I think we can all agree it's not a furry

yay, I guess I'm not a furry

finally, I can browse e621 with a clear conscience

I have been @'d

who challenges moi to a debate

does Rito are furries?

rito?

from zelda

breath of the wild

bird people

>bird people

>furries

define furry

(yes we're doing this again)

well do birds have fur

No

feathers

then they are not furrys

^

Not just Rito, what about Zoras?

Not furries

idk/idc

Also, in Windwaker, Rito had exposed skin, feathers, and hair.

...and a beak nose

really only half a beak.

triggers me

Anybody got a definition of a furry?

nope and that's kinda my point

The best we've probably got is UD

That's low key the joke of the debate topic

Well, it's more fun when we can actually win or lose

but we're all losers. We're debating about video games in a political discord.

Sure

But c'mon, it's fun

The only winning move is to not play.

Joke's on everyone else for trying to discuss politics in a video game application

^^

Nothing says serious political discussion like an application that epic memes on you every time you open it
