What is a furry?

See, this is the problem with furries. They try and turn everything on earth into proof that you, also, are into furry activities. You liked watching Ninja Turtles as a kid? Obviously you're into turtle furry scene. You're a girl that liked My Little Pony? That means you're begging for someone to send you ten gigs of centaurs fucking foxes.

Just because animals are personified as people doesn't make it a piece of the furry community.





Don't you dare try to take Redwall or Watership Down away from me.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Why am I frightened when I wonder what could be in the "Fox Box" in your second picture.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Quote:

Jones describes himself as being an "otherkin," a person who believes he or she was an animal in a past life and still carries its spirit. Jones believes he is a raptor, and wishes he had a tail and scales so he could be more like the animal he has always admired. He tries to assimilate the raptor way of life into his own because he believes it's better than the human way of life.

"(Raptors' lives are) more basic," he said. "You don't have to spend four years in college to get a good job to live. They can just hunt; they don't have to starve if they can't afford food.

At one point last semester, Jones tried to construct a raptor suit to feel more like a raptor, but the process was time consuming, and he soon gave up. Other furries, however, sometimes wear entire body suits or simply a tail or ears to identify themselves with the animal they more closely relate to.

I actually wonder how long furries have been around. Like, were there furfags back in the 1600s?

How ya doing, buddy?

he has sex with his wife in the comic.

his mother-in-law has watched them, in the comic, and touched herself to it.

the wife and mother-in-law both know about this comic and apparently approve of it.

I tried looking for the relevant links but i had to turn back, it was too much for me.

I went through it once because I didn't believe it was as bad as you guys had been saying.

By then his father had also given the OK to the comic. And he did that by banging the author's mother in law. While the writer and his wife watched. And did each other.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

The reality with furries is that by any realistic standard, they're /geeks/. Their particular geeky fixation is anthropomorphic animals. The irony of furries being popular for gamer geek and computer geek culture to pick on, is that by the lights of the rest of culture, gamer and computer geeks are often see as "losers who fail at life" precisely because they "don't act, behave, have the manners, or interests" of "the rest of us, who are the NORMAL ones". I've been involved or around furry (and other, such as anime) fandom for a number of years. I've met a lot of people who have issues. Being objective however, I've met just as many people who have issues among Linux geeks, gamers, anime fans, and what have you. People who think they're "normal" and mainstream have just as many issues a lot of the time, that are more easily covered up by those issues blending in to mainstream society.

You do realize being at the bottom of the rung of nerd fandoms is just about as bad as it gets, right?

I was speaking idiomatically.
