A note after
So, as a point of clarification: some think that others (like the above) are crazy because they wish that they could be real anthrapamorphic creatures.
Okay, so, wow, how to tackle this one. I am going to say that I know MMan222 IRL and . . . he is a normal person with a firm grasp on reality. He firmly knows he is human and is perfectly sane in that sense. The only thing that is not fitting in the social norm is the fact that, if a genie granted him a wish, he would want to change his body like that.
"BUT THAT'S CRAZY," says you. "LOCK HIM UP IN THE LOONY BIN!" Hold on a second there, partner. Haven't you ever wished for the impossible or rediculus? If a genie granted you a wish, wouldn't you wish for superpowers, or magic spells or an infinate pot of gold? Well, hey, those things are impossible too. So, either lock both you and him up or let both of you go free.
Someone once said that sanity is a shared delusion. If enough people in an area believe that something is true, then it is the 'sane' thing to believe in. A bunch of people believe in christianity, and (despite the fact that it doesn't mesh well with the everyday reality of our lives), it is sane because a lot of people follow it. Same for any other religion. Many people believe that butter helps burn wounds heal. It doesn't, but it is the sane thing to believe in because so many people subscribe to that notion. The point is, people, that these guys have every right to have whatever opinion or belief they want to have, JUST LIKE YOU. Just because you find it weird or unnatural, doesn't mean that it is wrong or bad or crazy. It's just different. And if you don't like it, ignore it.
And one last thought: what if someone attacked your beliefs? For example, say you are christian. Now, if I had only heard second-hand stories and seen passing glimpses of christianity, then I could say it was evil. In places, the bible promotes sexism, racism, killing, and has violent depictions of horrible torture. Am I wrong? OF COURSE I AM. Because I just look at the bad things and run off. It doesn't mesh with my personal sensabilities so I label it as 'bad.' I doesn't fit with reality as I see it, so I say it's crazy. Remind you of some other arguements?

Some people are like slinkies...not really good for anything, but they make you smile when you push them down the stairs.

I hate how so many people are so mean toward furries. But yeah, it's the internet. It was bound to happen.
