Furries. They're some of the nicest people ever. I'm a cosplayer and our worlds intersect a lot. They raise more money for charity than any group as small as they are, they're kind and accepting, and they're wicked talented. I trust Furries before muggles anyday

they're wicked talented

Sincere question: what specifically are their talents?

Setting up/maintaining network infrastructure, coding, providing orgasms, UX design.
