Furry discussion thread

[~Muffin of Chaos~ 184]

Seriously? Fine hate me:I am a Bronie and a Furrie 3:

So...Your wrong? But I'm not much of a furrie mostly more a Bronie.

 

Sorry. I researched furries since the post, and discovered that furries aren't always about animal s3x.

Yay! same as me then!

At least someone does research before accusing us of that disgusting trait.

Good on yah!

A furry is someone who is fascinated by human-animal hybrids. Bronies are fans of a show about ponies. So there really isn't any correlation. Now there are probably some bronies who are furries, but I highly doubt there are more furries watching this show than say...I don't know "Lost". Is that show still popular?

[enigmatia 37]

Actually, the label itself means nothing. But when someone mistakenly describing brony as "loves anthropomorphic character" rather than "who watched MLP and like it", that really rustle my jimmies

 

It doesn't feels very good if your group was equated with something... less

 

And tell me how the furry community are less of a community than MLP? If not less worthy of being human beings, since I'm not 100% sure on what you implied there. They just have different interest than you and wow.. that sounded like a very jerkish comment right then and there.

No. They are not into hybrids. That is an entire sub-genre of theirs all together.

Let me copy and paste for you.

The furry fandom is a subculture interested in fictional anthromorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics.

Thanks wiki.

 

And so each and every identifiable furry must love all animals? No. Absolutely not. Many people in the community only hold interest in just one species. We got furries who only like wolves, we have furries who only like cats, we have furries who only like horses. All fictional all anthromorphic, all characters with human personalities and characteristics.

 

The TV show element means nothing. Furries derive from all sorts of medias, comics, novels, cartoons, they love to make art and cosplay them.

 

Believe it or not, Bronies who identify as interested in the ponies of MLP, are all sub catergory to a overly taunted subculture community called Furries. It hurts to feel like a sub culture of of an already stigmatised sub culture. And I think now, wrongly stigmatised. If you believe that bronies shouldn't be stigmatised as "horse-porn clopping scum", then neither should the furry community be any more considered as "animal fucking scum". You don't need to be scared of them. Everyone here shouldn't be scared of them. They're people with an interest. So what if you don't care about pandas and foxes and wolves, I'm sure they don't care about your ponies either.

 

Except the pony fans. Of course.

Umm...The Brony and Furry communities are both officially 'Sub-culture' size now, therefore they are both equal communities in the eyes of most of the internet. Apparently that is stated on MemeBase and KnowYourMeme.

Right then, I wish to compare the amounts of hate both Fandoms get. This one is a bit of a jokey question really.

I'm just wondering, seeing as the Furries have got a song written by some random jerk called 'Yiff in hell, Furfag'

Not a bad song, maybe a li'l offensive though. I want to know if the BronyDom have got any songs dedicated to hate for them.

 

Please link to them, wherever they are!

I must witness these works of hate!

 

This is a link to 'Yiff in hell, Furfag' (Any furries will probably be hardened to this kind of hate by now.)

10/90 Furry to Brony; before I was a brony I was furry then I stopped being a furry then I became a brony but I still have a little furry in me still. :3

[SugarSprinkledFox 69]

It depends on how you put it really. Bronies are fans of MLP FIM. Furries are fans of anthros.

 

The ponies have human like features. Anthro doesn't mean "walk on two legs" it means they have human features.

 

So if you say "furry" and mean "fans of anthros" then yes, bronies are technacally furries.

Heh, what irony. Your Avi says you've done nothing productive all day, quite the contrary, you've made serious sense AND basically translated what I said into a readable format.

 

Thanks, seriously! You make sense! Others do too, but you excel in simplistic sensicalness. I salute you!

 

Anyway.....

The answer is...

NO...

i don't know if it just me but furries are more obsessed with sexual looks and encounters

while some bronies are furries, brony itself isn't the character portrayal, but the love of the show... that is why they are different.

[nonee 130]

I'm not sure this question can really be answered. Somethings are similar but there are also differences and it's an argument that never really ends. I don't think the term furry can be as easily described as Bronies which isn't easy to describe either because I have friends that like the show but aren't Bronies. I believe both Brony and Furry are just one of those labels you have to use on yourself in order to be one.

 

My question is why does it even matter? Both us and the Furries hold about the same social standing when it comes to the media and both just as misunderstood. Why can't we just support one another instead of throwing insults back and forth (not in this topic of course but I have been seeing a lot of hate in others the past few weeks).

I don't hate furries myself. I know a furry myself and she's really nice, just don't tell me I'm a furry and everything will be fine. I just think animals are way cooler when they stay at their animal state. For the part of bronies hating furries, remember, you're suppose to be open and not judge a book by its cover.

[lilymalady123 203]

Ok, here we go:

 

I'm a furry...

 

Wait a second, the site didn't block me. You see, the thing is, not all furriers are yiffs. I know this has been said a million times on this thread, but I'd like you to know this.

 

I first saw the brony fandom on a mine craft forum. At first, I was judgmental. Well, what do you expect? Something new is sometimes a bit of an excuse to be unsure. Then, I remembered what people thought of me being a furry. Being what I am made people think differently of me. So, instead of hating, I embraced ponies and here I am.

 

I guess the moral is, though furries and bronies are different fandoms, it has the same reaction from the public. I'm not saying all of you are haters, but if you are, think about how the public sees YOU as a brony, and embrace the furry. Who knows, you may like it.

 

BUT I still think yiffs are disgusting. Just like cloppers.

 

(I'm sorry if I have offended anyone in this post. These are simply my views.)

[~Sugar Sprinkles~ 638]

I never understood the fact why they hate Furries. I am one too. I have always been told they ALWAYS "yiff"? Well, not all of course. I mean, take a look at MLP. There are Cloppers. Sick people can roleplay or masturbate to Ponies. Thats with ANYTHING. People fap to Anime, childhood cartoons, real animals, video game people, etc. I dont see why Furries are the targets. Furries originally began as...yeah a human covered with animal features, then some nasty pervs turned them into sluts. Then they invented Yiff. But this is with ANYTHING, like anime and MLP. I am a furry, but I dont Yiff, it is just sick and desperate.

[TessHM 15]

Probably the same reason most people hate bronies.

They assume 'it's a sex thing'.

Just like anything else people don't understand, they're going to assume it's because of sex.

[~Muffin of Chaos~ 184]

They probably think that furries dress up in animal costumes and "DO IT!" Most people think that from the shows 1000 ways to Die (someone showed up at a furry con and people were "doing it") and American Dad (Stan was at a Furry con for some reason, a car and a squirrel were "doing it") Furries are not weird! Just as weird as men liking MLP.

[Cyber Link 8]

I find that is easier to hate on what you don't understand, like people might not understand why people like animals with human-like traits. I don't hate furries but they kinda confuse me.

So as you say they are equal as in.. what? Could you elaborate what you meant by that for me?

 

Hmm... levels of hate. Hard to compare unless we got down to punching some statistics since we can't really compare them considering the age of these communities. Someone produce me a z-score! Anyway. So someone decided to sit around one day and make a song for them.. a fandom that's been around for years and years. There's hundreds of videos against bronies.. as well as furries. Not sure if I can estimate really though, but I'd like to know about this too! Maybe because the Brony fandom came out so macho and coooool, nobody bothered to make it, wheras the furry fandom gets kicked about as being "full of super weird people". People who are considered "different" and/or "an easy target" are always gonna get picked on and bullied. Bronies are just too macho lol

 

The answer is...

NO...

i don't know if it just me but furries are more obsessed with sexual looks and encounters

while some bronies are furries, brony itself isn't the character portrayal, but the love of the show... that is why they are different.

 

How many times does this have to be said? Many furries don't care for the sexualisation, just love the idea of animals with human personality. Some like the idea of anthromorphic creatures having sex. Just like some Bronies like their anthromorphic ponies have sex. The word here is "some". You're basically pulling the same opinion that the "General Internet Public" has on Bronies to the Furries as well. Fair isn't it? Because that's what haters/stigmatisers of Bronies are - people who think Bronies are obsessed with sexualising on fictional anthromorphic horses. I'm sure you guys can't stand being called out for that just because of a (well surprisingly not small) amount of bronies who are into that stuff when you do the big assumptions just the same to the furries. I don't know how I can explain that any more simpler than that? Some bronies keep it platonic. Some just love to get off to it. Some furries like to keep it platonic. Some just love to get off to it. If you don't mind the "Internet Public's" demonising opinion on you, I am sure now, you know how the furries are feeling right now.

 

 

Bronies don't even need boobs or fingers to make their fandom look obsessively sexualised.

It just happens. A lot. I follow 7 MLP:FIM groups and it's not all platonic I'll tell ya that. Not all stockings pony buttocks might I add, if you're drawing your OC ponies making out, then it's no different.. it's anthromorphic animal love.

No furries are the creatures the people make I am not stereotyping the fanbase.

basically here is a easy way to remember...

Bronies = The fanbase

Furries = The fanbase's creations.

You pressed a new stereotype about everyone who loves watching MLP as one of furries' sub-community, I say furries are less of a fandom if compared to bronies as a whole

 

Believe it or not, Bronies who identify as interested in the ponies of MLP, are all sub catergory to a overly taunted subculture community called Furries.

 

We are all bout watching ponies because they are cute as fuck, not because they are anthropromorphic. Seriously, I can't understand your logic

How was that a stereotype? A stereotype is a presumed conception of a whole. This was categorising.

 

And I don't understand yours? Furries love the creatures they love because they think they are wonderful too.

Furries = The fanbase's creations.

 

Bronies = The fanbase. The fanbase, plus their creations.

Furries = The fanbase and creations, plus some of the fanbase for comics, literatures, shows etc. Their ratios are just swapped.

[Starshine 16,333]

Furries love the creatures they love because they think they are wonderful too.

 

And bronies loves MLP because the characters are very relate-able and enjoyable to watch, not because they are anthropomorphic

 

It's different

... And furries enjoy to look at/watch anthromorphic animals as well. They also find the characters relatable to them, nearly nobody would enjoy reading or watching something because they can't relate to it. Who normally does that? You think furries don't relate to anything of their characters? What, so furries just made their characters with human characteristics just to gawk at from a distance? That's an empty, soulless perception of people who have an interest. Edited August 6, 2012 by enigmatia

You said it yourself, furries was all about the anthropomorphic-ism of the characters, not about the show itself

 

Bronies are all about the story and personality

 

Furries are all about the characters' pictures

Great, now you're twisting my words - are you end of the rope or what?

Their focus is anthromorpic creatures. They're not making them there just to gawk at, they make stories and personalities out of them.

 

That's really a very dirty view of the furry community. That unlike bronies stuff, none of their anthro characters have any personality and stories. I'm sorry but are you completely blind to the existance of fanfics, comics, and series?

[Scatterbolt 15]

They are not the same thing, but I see a lot of furries who have also become bronies and in some cases vice versa.
