I was at my local game store and there were some people playing D&D and i noticed there seemed to be a couple, a guy and a girl, and they had these like tail things attached to their belts in the back.
What the hell is that about?

They are either furries or anime people. Strange.

Do yourself a favor and let it go. Don't try to look into it. Don't try to understand it. Just... walk away.

I mean i know what furries are, but they didn't seem like they were furries. More like they were anime dorks but is there an anime that has people with tails?
Kids today are so strange.

Indeed they are, I try not to think about it. I'm 17 and try hard not to think about my generation.

Fixed it

Oh and +1838282etc.

They looked like they were about that age. Do you know what the tails were about?

No Fethin clue, Their either Furry's or are ridiculously strange. Its really a coin toss, take your pick and your probably right either way.

It could be an otaku thing. It is an attempt at feeling unique and special when the reality is that none of us are.

Except me.

An interesting philosophy you have there

And if they are furries you want to stop your investigation now.

Or jump into the deep end and see what dramatica has to say about furries.

Yeah i know what furries are. I don't think these people were furries.

Mabye my generation has hope yet... Nah we're all screwed

There's a few animes with people with tails, more than I'd care to know. If they were also wearing notably weired cloths then I'd put my money on anime people.

This calls for a big...

So what? I've seen and done worse... :\

They could have been Anime people, or they could have been furries. If they were from your generation its hard to be sure.

It's an American Football thing.

It's suddenly so clear.

@Soladin: The post wasn't "What is the most disturbing or unusual thing you've ever seen". I think anyone over the age of 16 has seen worse, that doesn't mean that it is not unusual.

These are the same kinds of kids that annoy the hell out of us at our local gamer/sci-fi convention. They have catered a lot to the anime/manga/whatever crew to garner more attendees.

But the best advise is to just let it go. Someone, hopefully fate, will beat these kids around the head and shoulders, metaphorically of course , then they'll get the message.

So there is this group of people who have an unusual hobby that is generally looked down on by other people, and then they see a few other people who have an unusual hobby and they say "Geez, how strange, I mean look at those guys, they are freaks, you better not talk to them, it might be contagious...."

The song you are looking for is 'Body Count - Momma's gotta die tonight'.

They were shoplifitng from the Pet Store. Duh.

I know that there is a group within the Boffer larp circles that tend to wear tails, they pass themselves off as Kitsune.

Wearing a tail and being a larper and being at the mall could easily pass you off as something else too.



...I'm just sayin.

Larp doesn't tend to happen in public places that could kick them out during business. It also usually requires more than two people. Only 2 people role playing is a different kind of role playing. If you know what I mean.

I mean sexual.

Well that would help to explain the tails then.

Or maybe they were furries, or anime fans. Its hard to be sure.

Sounds like 2 weirdo's, sigh the worlds becoming so misguided and odd. a cull's needed imo
