Hello everyone!

How do the people of kwenk feel about kemonomimi fashion? (adding animal ears/tails as an accessory as part of one's fashion style)

I personally love the idea of it, and wish wearing animal tails as an accessory was more socially acceptable :( I don't have the confidence to partake unfortunately, but I really wish I did!! I'm hoping to basically soft launch it into my life so I can feel more comfortable being myself :> I just wanted to see what other people think about it, I'm curious!!

It feels weird to me, I understand in private time, events or parties but publicly it's inappropriate for me. Most people i knew who publicly weared them came out as... not very good people
personally it seems really fucking cool but also its important to consider the ethicality of wearing these. i am against the exploitation of other animals, no matter the reason. more often than not these accessories are from actual animal product and are found unethically (e.g. killing the animals for this and fur farming). even if you try and by fake accessories sometimes they aren't (but thats an entire seperate legal issue). but yeah i think its cool and fun, if done without exploitation and is based off fake products without ethical concerns (this also includes the enviroment bc this stuff can have many issues)
yes of course, i completely understand being against real animal accessories. I'm most often against buying real animal furs because you never know how the animal was treated in life/where the furs came from. I more so was thinking about animal accessories created by oneself, not necessarily real animal products bought from someone else. I personally made a fox tail out of yarn fluffed up using a slicker brush, and I see majority of people into kemonomimi using faux fur ears and tails, either made by them or commissioned
perhaps I should clarify, I mean faux animal tails and ears!! I know, especially fox tails, are sold and used as accessories but I'm personally referring to accessories made out of faux fur or other craft materials, NOT real animals! Unfortunately, you can never know where those real animal furs were sourced from, so it's extremely wise to steer clear of them.
thanks for clarifying! if it is totally stuff you are making yourself/are known to be faux ethically, i see no problem and sociately who cares having these acsessories are awesome :)
when i have more of a disposable income i'm definitely buying ears and tails! i thinks its super cool and fun and love when people customize their appearance as much as possible
me too!! I love seeing how people's personalities shine through their fashion/clothing
I find it rlly cool! I'm not a therian nor a furry but i feel like it would be cool to have a tail and wag it and it just looks good! i dont have the confidence tho
exactly!! Kemonomimi is like that in between of therian and furry, its not necessarily an identity like being a therian, and there isnt as much of a community to it as being a furry. The best way to have confidence to have a idgaf attitude about others, live your truth!!
It's such a nothingburger issue, even if cringe culture tries to make it into a big deal. The idea that wearing animal accessories means that person must be a furry who also does fucked up shit is so stupid. The hatred for furries in general is stupid.

Personally, I don't want to wear animal accesories, but I would love alien antennae. A cloak crafted to look like wings (bird or bug) would also be AWESOME!
I sooo agree with this T-T I always worry that people will think I'm a weirdo if I partake in Kemonomimi or things like it, like it shouldnt be that way!! people should be able to customize their character however they want. Also alien antennae would be so cool omg!!
I want one that moves.. How do i link it to my nervous system..
i find it really cool and super duper cute!!! people can get so creative and it just amazes me everytime :)
I think it's SO fun of a thing to do especially coming from someone who's entire gender is just "funny creature that just happens to be male" because I wanna get a night fury tail and head nubs maybe wings because it's make me feel so much better about myself! some people don't understand it's literally just accessories and there's nothing inappropriate about them just like furries and stuff, so if it makes you feel better and you're doing it ethically (which based on the comment you posted I see you are that's good) then there's nothing wrong with it!!
aw thanks so much!! im so glad to see people feel the same way lmao, also i relate sm to the way you described your gender, i just want to be perceived as a creature not necessarily male or female!! also a night fury tail would be so super awesome!!
I actually feel the same way!! I really wish I could wear cat ears and tail because it just looks so cute and I just love it idk but kenomimis are so fetishized and disliked that I'm scared to actually buy some for myself to wear even in private. The most that I did was a hairstyle that resembled cat ears and I loved it sm, I really wish it wouldn't be considered weird to wear those or unsafe TT
frr exactly!! It's been so stigmatized even though it should just be perceived as a fun accessory, like it actually is
Ngl if you wanna wear it? wear it! as long ur not harmin anyone then i think that's pretty cool!!
+ ur breaking the social standards with style XD
It is cute but unfortunately socially looked down upon ๐Ÿ˜ญ I feel like theyโ€™re so fun tho, u shld fr j wear them tho cuz to be cringe is to be free
fr... all of you are so so right. to be cringe is to be free!!
I would also love to take part in this fashion but i cant find fake animal ears or tails anywhere i my country!!! >:[ If i ever have the chance i will make them but it doesnt seem possible for a year T-T
I don't know if it counts but in middle school I used to wear a unicorn headband! nobody ever bothered me about it and people thought it was really cute but I really don't know if it counts..
