My big question is why you'd want to spend that much money on glorified costumes more so than why you'd want to do that
I'd never be interested in any sort of cosplay or anything like that. My sister is huge into anime cosplay all of a sudden, I make fun of her all of the time for being a weeb. I understand stuff like furries and weebs up until they start spending money on costumes, that's where they lose me. I don't even see anything weird with things like having a fursona/anime OC, it just gets weird when you break out your credit card to start buying costumes
Idk, I'm definitely friendly towards the furry community because I love the art and I love anthropomorphic TV shows and movies (Zootopia is the 2nd best Disney movie after The Lion King, don't @ me). I definitely see the appeal until you start spending real money. How can't you like gifs like these:
