What's wrong with having a furry mascot exactly? I mean the Japanese Air force had a furry mascot for one of their bases, not only is he a furry but also a femboy. His name is Omaneko (おまねこ)

It was a joke.

~~Google~~ Deepl's translation of the text in the first pic:

Cat with magical powers

Motif: “Nekozuka,” a tourist attraction in Omaezaki City

A member of the 1st Nyanya Police Force. He is currently stationed at the base because he wants to play with the radar dome.

He is 176 cm tall, or 40 m. He is good at sports, but not good in water.

He is a male.

Is that tall? I like it more now

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

It's ambiguous. Either above-average male height (by Japanese standards) or 23 times that.

[–] Nexy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Its 10cm more than me, I take it.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

...or 38.4 m more than you

[–] Nexy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 month ago

Ah wait, I get it now. Macrofalco moment.

I'm no scholar, but I believe when it's an anime furry you call it kemono
