Furry discussion thread

[Midnightive 458]

Well, to be honest, all the furries I've met face to face were into furry rule 34... Most of them hit on me too, all guys. e.e;

 

Nothing against furries, it's just they left a horrid taste in my mouth that's going to take more than toothpaste to get out.

 

Well you met your first female furry

 

I don't really understand it i don't really go into the rule 34 stuff or what ever... i've just always wanted ears and a tail ;_; is that so much to ask?!

 

I guess being a human means yes *Sigh*

The way I see it, cloppers and furries go hand in hand. The only difference is that furries mostly deal with anthropomorphic erotica. And honestly I dont really care if I offend cloppers I will voice my opinion because it is my right to voice it.

 

Not every furry masturbates to furry porn. Saying that every furry is into furry porn is like saying every brony is a clopper. Clopping AND furry erotica are both just fetishes, everyone has them. It's not some disgusting thing that people should be shunned for, they just have different tastes than other people.

And I can't help but notice how unloving and tolerating you're being, considering your avatar.

I've always thought furries were cool, I even considered joining the community (which I didn't), its just that the average person thinks they have sexual desires with animals (a clearly outdated and stupid stereotype), or they think they're "freaks", rejects of society, etc.

 

Yeah, furries are awesome.

[Finesthour 7,287]

Honestly, I think I may be a furry.

 

For years I have enjoyed furry things, and enjoyed their art and more.. suggestive stuff for a long time.

 

I just have never admitted it to anyone before.

Well I have been told lies then. My friend told me "Furries are people who find half-human half-animal beings sexually attractive" so now I know something new. And my avatar, I dont actually take to much stock in the whole love and tolerance thing, I love and tolerate what I can but I am only human. Edited July 27, 2012 by Bronynonymous

Furries are more like bronies when it comes to what they like, really. There are tons of furry comics, nice artwork, and I believe there even is some music.

Thanks for the info, I will have to check them out. I have always had the wrong impression, like howard stern, only with furries. I am sorry

There is much music, and most of it is the same genre as "brony music" is: Techno.

[Samurshy 708]

Well now that I have some insight, I can actually answer the threads question. The reason why people hate furries is because those who hate furries think like I used to think. I used to think all furies were sexual deviants who touch themselves to pictures of anthro. But I was wrong and so are the others. There needs to be something that can inform people about what furries really believe in. I mean 5 minuets ago I didnt know that Spice and Wolf was a furry anime. I love that anime.

awesome! Do you feel any connection to a certain animal? I ask because often times furries feel an animal spirit is part of them...or that they are that animal inside

No, not in the slightest.

 

It's why I don't really think I AM a furry.

 

I just enjoy the... "bad" parts about the fandom.

[John 793]

Why do I hate them? Well, I don't hate them at all. I just really really really really really dislike them. Why? Because they irritate the **** outta me. They always compare themselves to bronies and there honestly is no connection. At All..

nothing wrong with that at all :-)

 

I am all about letting everyone enjoy what they enjoy. But welcome to the fandom at least :-)

Well I promise as a furry I will not compare the furry fandom to bronyhood. I must say I have yet to here a furry compare themselves to a brony...total difference

 

Bronies love MLP...Furries feel they are either part animal or their spirit is an animal

wut.

 

No, no they don't.

 

You're thinking of people outside the fanbase who do this.

 

They're two different fandoms.

 

The logic here confuses me.

I've seen it happen many times. For example, one time there were both bronies and "furries" on the same chat site, and the furries were getting hated on by some random haters. The "furries" responded by acting like bronies were very similar to them, so they wouldn't be so isolated. As a result of scenarios like this one, many ignorant people tend to mistakenly categorize bronies and "furries" together.

[moneyshredderofdeath 414]

My stance on furries is like that on any fandom out there: Like what you want; I ain't gonna judge ya for having interests outside the norm. It's what makes people people. Just don't make interest in question the only aspect to your personality and don't act in an "in-your-facey" manner about it.

[Pinkie D Pie 1,036]

I guess i'll give my stance on this.

I don't hate anyone for what they like. And you may say, that's impossible, but I'M not going to go around and sayI hate something for what's in it. I don't consider myself a furry, but I love all the artwork out there. But am I goign to shove it in your faces that I like somethin, no, I'm not. So yaeh, that's all I got, I don't hate the furrys, so yeah. That is really all I got.

Then you were unfortunate to fall into the wrong crowd of people. As an active member of the biggest Furry communtiy forums FurAffinity I have yet to see a single journal post made by well known artist or just an ordniary member comparing Bronies to Furries. In fact, the only people I hear that compares them are the haters (especially some people on TF2 I have come across in games). And the admins and operators of the site made their point that Bronies and Furries have no connection what so ever, just two different fandoms.

Well they still bother me. I've met so many of them in my lifetime and the're all weird people. The fandom has gotten such a large pile of hate thrown at it that normal people looking to join are turned away from it in fear of it damaging their personal image. As a result, the bulk of the fandom consists of creeps! I don't want to sound mean, i'm sure the're are many furries who are normal. I have just dealt with so many bad ones that i'm sick of them.

Well, trust me on this one, MANY furries I know could careless of MLP and the fandom. It's just their tastes and that's completely fine. But I encourage you to see things from a different perspective. For example, look at me, I'm a furry a little bit and I don't compare the two. I'm sure many others here could agree. You just need to distinguish groups and pinpoint which ones do and which ones don't.

Why are you a furry? There has to be a reason! *slams desk with fist* *spills dr pepper*

Well, I couldn't say I was a mainstream furry but I was part of a group of furries known as " Poke'fur's " (Yes, there are such people) which, you probably know, are furries that see themselves as, well, Pokemon. Years ago when I was younger it was what I was and there was quite a large community of them.

 

But I've been kinda unmotivated lately and my participation in roleplays and stuff went down as years past, so now I just like the art and the furries, that's pretty much it really. I'm still evolving I guess. (no pun intended)

From what I can see, a lot of folks feel furries are always perverted, in some cases this is true, but not all. I however find it a little disturbing when I see adult rated mlp anything, especially when they decided to throw their own furry characters into it, and a variety of other kinks that would make no sense in the mlp universe. But, as said, not all furries are like that.

Well if that's what you want to do, then I'm not gonna judge you for doing it. I just absolutely *strongly dislike* the ones that get in my face about it. But my opinion remains the same. I don't like furri-ism.

Being that I used to be a furry (but I'm not anymore) I can say that most people think that they think about sex with animals nonstop. For example my best friend and I were talking and he asked if I was a furry. I said yes, and then he told me I was a sick bastard that loves to have sex with animals. I told him I wasn't and the thing escalated from there. So as you see the minority gave the fandom a bad name.
