It's definitely bait. Just look at the post above yours, and the last few -- it sounds like they're trying to convince themselves they're not doing anything 'deviant', though to what nature, we can only guess (or don't, I don't plan on putting much thought into it).
Furries are a sexual fetish. Full stop.
Similarly to BDSM and gimp suits.
The difference is that the 'masks' people wear, only obscure their face, rather than their whole bodies and you can, with a little deductive reasoning, figure out who someone is if they're in your day to day.
Versus Furry humppiles, Rainfurrest, etc.
**Edit**
A quick search found the user's DA account, and my shocked pikachu face at the furry porn. And yet it's not overly sexual?
