Interesting. But, since I'm into tickling, I tend to walk on eggshells around other peoples fetishes.

Ah, the furries. Interesting bunch. I'm good friends with one but, a lot a furry fans are too in to it for me. Having a fantasy self or beating your meat to the pic of a sexy catgirl toon is one thing but, when you literally and permanently want to become an animal or start getting it on with them, something is very wrong.

 

[Kalamos]

Dunno if it's funny. It is gay.
And I mean it in the safest sense.

The rainbow pattern is a symbol for homosexual movements.

 

[Camel26]

That's the sad part. Furries have NOTHING to do with homosexuality. I fear that with their highly publicised lack of respect, they have now tried a different tact to get people to feel sorry for them. Apparently they are now stooping to the lowest common denominator to do it. By appealing to a group that actually knows what degradation is....Kind of like the jehovas witness would do to bolster their numbers.

Oops. I just realised that I broke my first amendment(see post #2 for details).

Regardless of which group (the furries or the homosexuals, such as myself) you are attempting to demean, degrade, and generally judge, there's really no room for that on this website of all places. If you like wearing an animal costume when you have sex, well, good for you...I like being tickled...and having sex with another woman...good for me. It takes all kinds in this world--that's why there are sites like this one. So that folks who enjoy something that is not mainstream in the bedroom can have a place to SAFELY discuss it without fear of being judged...

Mods, please...shut this thread down before a flame war errupts...I see this going downhill quickly...

dussicar, Im not entirely clear on the intent of your post. Would you mind clarifying? If it was meant as homosexual bashing then I'll have to ask you not to do that here. If it wasn't then please tell us what you did mean. Thanks. 🙂

I for one find nothing "funny" about the pic nor about putting down ANY group no matter what their preferences.

No! Absolutely not. I suppose I SHOULD have clarified quite a bit clearer.
I was a little angry that the furry community would use a symbol of Homosexuality to further sympaty for their cause. Perhapse if the artist WAS homosexual then I could understand. But, I have had the displeasure of seeing some of the more militaristic members of the furry community using images like this and other such things like racial prejudice and even the holocaust of all things to push their agenda. They have done this to "stoop to the lowest common denominator" in order to generate sympathy from an internet community that by and large, hates them as a whole, and has turned them into a laughing stock. This, however is not my problem with the furry community(see post #2 in this thread). How they utilise these images and try to intigrate it to the mainstream does piss me off, though.

I've made my pro-homosexual stance qute clear on a number of occasions....How soon you people forget.

 

[nessonite1]

I just had to clarify, Duss...that's what I thought you meant. I agree with you for the most part though. Only "most" cause I don't really know much about the whole furry thing so I havent seen this in practice. But if it's the way you say it is then it's retarded as hell. I hate furries!!

Well, I should clarify a little more. Of course, like all fetishes, you have two kinds of people. The "norms"(if we can be called normal, that is) and the freaks.
Now, the furry community has these groups too. I have seen many inoffensive artworks and pics from the conservative sects. Just like here, there will be the nutzoid rabblerousers who think that they are on a twisted holy mission to bring the word of furry to the masses. I could tell you stories about many in the furry community that would make you shriek. Sadly, these are the ones that "revert to animal form on the net"(I'll let you all figure that one out on your own) and do some pretty fucked up things. these are the ones who post pics like the one that started this thread, though it is still unclear as to whether the artist IS actually homosexual or not. But, by what I have seen, the answer is unfortunately, no. Or at least that's what my opinion will be until proven otherwise.

Now, to get to the humiliating truth....Why would I post such a scathing report and cause such hoo-haa? Usually, I'm a distinct poster. I try not to leave any grey areas with my messages. So, why was this one so ambiguous and flamey?
I'm embarassed to say this, but when I initially posted that message I was half drunk. I had a slight hint that the colour scheme behind the anthropomorphic animal WAS indeed a gay pride symbol, but felt uncomfortable saying anything out of fear that I was wrong. Then Kalamos confirmed it with his post, and going by my past net experiences of seeing this kind of thing, got my blood boiling...Unfortunately, it was given a nice destructive helping hand by mike and his hard lemonade(which by the way, has vodka in it up here in Canada).

I'm feeling like a complete twat. That post should never have been made(to be quite honest, I completely forgot that I made it until I came back tonight), so, because of this, I'm deleting it.

Thank you for clarifying Duss...you're a good man.

I don't know enough about Furries to condone/condemn/whatever...but I haven't had anyone in a bunny suit trying to hump my leg...so I'm ok with them I guess. Just not my thing. (Had to wear a bear suit for a blood drive once...and sweated off about 6 lbs in an hour...so anyone who wants to willingly wear that outfit and have sex--more power to you!) Just don't use my sexual orientation, or the mass murder of my ancestors due to ethnic cleansing to further your cause, my fuzzy friends...it only makes you look uneducated...


Thank you for the clarification and, as always, for your insight, Duss...

 

[Ignatz]

Hey, it happens, Hoss. It's gin that puts my mouth in gear, so I stick to cold beer which mellows me, alternating with occasional infusions of rum during cold weather. (If you knew how many long years of research went into this discovery...and with no government funding either...you'd be appalled.)
Anyway, as a fellow once said, only the mediocre are always at their best.

Your welcome. Again, sorry for the bad post.

If for any reason you wish to learn more about furries on the net, you'll find quite a few sites. I'm sorry, I don't have links for you as Half of the sites I saw were on my friends computer. He was showing me the furry world. He did this because he hates them. Ironically, I ended up defending them from him. mostly because he's a "vanilla." Any thing that has nothing to do with straight up sex offends him. Feeling threatened, I had to say something, mostly due to the fact that sooner or later He'll be the first one I admit my fetish to.
Anyhow, I went home and did my own research. Like I said before, many of their artworks are very tame, but makes little sense in some cases(like Lion-o from thundercats banging a hammer on an anvil). Regardless, it is harmless.

However, I must prepare you and anyone else...There WILL be a GREAT number of sites that will have your jaw hit your keyboard so fast, you'll break the sound barrier for teeth. Some of it borders on the criminal in certain cases. Surf at your own risk.

So that's my defence/condemnation of furries. I hope I left everyone satisfied in all fields of this discussion, because I am still mortified by my own actions earlier on.

I hear your pain, brother. I'm mostly a beer person myself. It dosen't COMPLETELY calm me down, but at least I'm not setting myself on fire anymore.

Since no one has explained what furry is:

"Furry fandom is a subculture of the science fiction and fantasy fandoms. Members of the furry fandom, known as furry fans or simply furries, particularly enjoy media that involves anthropomorphic animals: that is, fictional animals with human traits (such as walking on two feet, talking, wearing clothes, living in houses, etc.). Such media includes popular animated cartoons, comic books, and stories and novels.

Furry fans often refer to any such anthropomorphic animal character as a furry. Other, more mainstream terms for these types of characters are funny animal and talking animal, or kemono in Japan. "Furry" characters are usually portrayed as humanoids wearing clothing, talking, and acting like humans rather than animals. However, some fans consider any talking animal, humanoid or not, to be a "furry." Some fans also insist that non-animalistic fantasy creatures such as orcs and elves should also be considered furry.

The furry fandom, as an umbrella subculture for various interests, has grown with the advent of the Internet. Content created by furry fans (visual art, stories, music, games, etc.) on the World Wide Web covers a wide range of interests including fantasies, philosophy, recipes, sex, politics, religion, and even personal lifestyle and identity."

 

[Ignatz]

Good heavens! Who knew? I have lots of Bugs Bunny videos and several bound collections of the old Krazy Kat comic strip (co-starring the immortal Ignatz Mouse). Does that make me a closet furry fan?

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

So folks, we've been with furries for a very long time. Felix the Cat, Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse, Sonic Hedgehog, etc, these are all examples of the furry trend and they've always been and will continue to be a part of our history and pop culture. Most cartoons and mascots are furries. So whether you realize it or not, everyone has been a part of furry fandom whether by creation or fandom itself without realizing it.

On topic, I won't be judging the picture or the artist and saying whether or not is in good taste until I know whether or not this artist is either gay themself or in support of the homosexual movement. If they are in support, then obviously this is a good show of support.

If however, like speculated already, this artist is using the social stigma of homosexuals in society today to their advantage then of course the image is in bad taste, is exploitation, and is deplorable.

The fact is we DON'T know, so we shouldn't even begin to argue/debate about it until there are established facts on the matter. And there won't be, since I'm assuming this artist is unidentified and this picture may have been found anywhere before Oriy posted it.

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

I'm glad you asked, because that allows me to distinguish the differences.

An artist may just draw a furry (for example Sonic Hedgehog, a very popular mascot character, comic book, cartoon/anime and video game series). That would show a general interest. We like it because its entertaining.

Then theres personally identifying with the animal a furry comes from or just the animal itself. For example, you might like foxes because of the metaphors placed upon them and how you personally may identify with those qualities or traits- like them being cunning, crafty, coy, charming, smart creatures (as foxes are portrayed to be). Whereas others might like lions for being strong, dominant, and fierce and having a brilliant mane (the males anyway), as these would be leader-type qualities.

Everyone has a favorite animal for any number of reasons. So this is fine too.

Some furry enthusiasts dress up as their favorite animal, usually at gatherings dedicated for such things, like anime cons, comic book conventions, etc. Its no different than a comic book fan dressing up as Batman or whomever. The furry is nothing more than the combination of their choice of animal and their personality and which animal best portrays that. And it doesn't necessarily mean creating costumes and wearing them. If you're an artist like me, then you could simply draw them or yourself as a furry, as many people do.


Like with fetishes, some furry fandom (which goes beyond fandom or general interest in that style or genre (in the case of the art itself)) has the potential to take on psychological significance and become sources of stimulation, not necessarily sexually. As even a fetish, by definition, is not so black and white as to say having one means you have it sexually and need it so.

Like with fetishes, a furry ethusiast may personally become obsessed with the animal they are attracted to and may try to mimmick or recreate a lifestyle which could play upon how that animal lives. And just like with some fetishes for some people, a furry enthusiast may very well need to dress up as their animal of choice for sexual intercourse (perhaps thinking that by dressing as the animal during sex they ARE the animal and the act of sex is a release of the animalistic urges they want to mimmick or believe they have).

As you can see, there are different perspectives to see this from. From the very basic appriciation and liking for the genre, to needing it for personal identity purposes.

Since just as many people are content to enjoy the genre for what it is and appriciate the people who forward it for general enjoyment in pop culture, there are just as many people who take it to the next level and very personally.

Where you are in this should be obvious to you and make you feel more comfortable about it. Furry isn't something dirty or nasty unless you take it there, not any different than tickling or what have you. LOL 😛

 

[MistressValerie1]

Extreme furry fetishists may have bizarre plastic surgery in order to "become" the animal of their choice, and some furry fetishists engage in bestiality or other illegal acts with animals. I don't think they are in the majority, but I don't care to spend the time to find out.

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

Yep. Forgot to mention that too. Those would be examples of some of the extremes or sick and disturbing sides of it. And of course they are not the majority (more like a very small portion) and the rest certainly can't be called fetishists (to use the word implies several things that may or may not apply). To take it that far you WOULD have to be obsessed, though. Or, in a sad enough way, be less than human (mentally anyway).

 

[Kalamos]

I can't find dussicar's post Camel quoted.
I guess he deleted it or posted it somewhere else.

I am not into furries and I don't know much about their reputation.
Why are they despised by the internet community as a whole?

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

To say they are dispised by the internet community as a whole is a rather narrow view and appraisal of it all, Kalamos. I'm sure, for whatever reason, you have experienced it as you say, but it really would depend on where and whom said it, since its all very subjectable.

Those that are dispised, I can only assume, are because they are seen like people here by the outside- deviants who engage in deviant behavior. Its much more laughable to even think of someone mentally figuring they have to dress up in a ridiculous animal costume (or worse yet have plastic surgey and what not) to live their fantasies (in the more extreme cases in which questioning would be warranted). People think of a guy dressed up as a squirrel doing it with some woman and they laugh and rightfully so. The mere image or thought is either funny, so sad its funny, or so bizarre nothing else can be uttered but a laugh.

They are seen as depraved and a joke, just as anyone else with a bizarre quirk.

Again, remember to know how you are using the term "furrys" when using it. Furrys do NOT necessarily mean people who dress up in costumes or do what I and Val said they do.

A furry (the noun) is mostly a reference to a character or cartoon that would fall under this category. And since everyone watches and enjoys cartoons at some point, they are a part of the fandom whether they realize it or not. Its not that whatever you watch, draw, or write in relation is furry, its just that its easily assimalated into the furry genre if it meets the requirements, and even if you wouldn't consider it furry material, others might, especially if they're being technical about it.

People who dress up in costumes or act like animals are living furries (in their minds anyway), and that is to be the established difference between the two. Because cartoons, comics, anime, etc. don't have a reputation or personal "honor" like a person would (other than the review they recieve from the fans) its obviously a different matter when talking about a real person.

For conversation's sake to avoid confusion with this topic later on if it ever comes up, it would probably be better if people clearly state which type of furry they are talking about. The imaginitive drawn or written ones for cartoons, anime, and manga, or the people out there that dress up like animals not just for occasions for fun, but because they feel they need to to truely be themselves.

While they share the genre they are not the same and are a different subfile from one another, and its important to establish that when talking about it otherwise it may just confuse people.

I was asking why are they despised as a whole.
I have little experience of them, so I have no set stance.

Reputation should be deserved, else it's prejudice.
I understand they are suspected of engaging in bestiality, but I guess there is more to it.
They wouldn't be the "laughing stock" without a good reason.

The rainbow pattern established that: we are talking about furries [both real people and imaginary characters] as a sexual fetish.

Hating an intire group because of what their majority has done isn't fair. As for comparing their situation to homosexual past persecutions, that may well be out of line but, on more than one occasion I have read that the Furry community is basicly dominated by homosexuals and that the word "furry" was coined by two relatively famous homosexual men. There's a good chance that none of that is true but, as someone who has been to quite a few furry sites and forums, I can tell you that homosexuality is very common in their society especially in their tickling devision so, it really comes as no surprise -to me anyway- that they would attempt to adopt and convert the homosexual cause to defend their fetish.
