Bill yer not the only furry to feel that way. I'm pretty sure two others not counting me on this very forum feel the exact same way.

Posted: **Sun Aug 08, 2010 3:03 am**

I kind of feel that way too, but I like the furries we have here. Very few disgusting, whiny drama-mongers.

Posted: **Sun Aug 08, 2010 3:15 am**

I do wish that it was like that for the IRC chat; 99% of the people were pretty chill, if not the weeaboo stereotype that makes the gag reflex trigger in my throat, but this one guy FLIPPED on me for no reason. I was not really happy to have such a welcome.

Of course, since he's a furry, I should have expected something.

FURSECUTION.

I think that was the jist of his issue, yeah. He said I was a troll and an evil evil person.

Posted: **Sun Aug 08, 2010 4:25 am**

hahaha.
wow. i don't envy you.

Posted: **Sun Aug 08, 2010 4:30 am**

No one should envy me. I'm in a subculture that bases itself on unbridled acceptance with a hard-rooted mindset that a social filter on those you associate with is a good thing.

I sometimes get nosebleeds just from thinking about it. I think they're my brain's way of avoiding aneurisms.

Do you remember the name?

EDIT: Nevermind, i heard about the issue.

Posted: **Sun Aug 08, 2010 8:01 pm**

Wait, what happened?

Sleet wrote:Wait, what happened?

Yes I would also like to know what happened here.

Posted: **Sun Aug 08, 2010 8:08 pm**

I think it is best to just forget about it.

Posted: **Sun Aug 08, 2010 8:09 pm**

I agree. If you REALLY must know, I'd rather be PMed either here or on IRC, so as to avoid any more drama. But dropping it would be preferable.

Posted: **Sun Aug 08, 2010 8:15 pm**

Ok then if its that bad I'd just rather drop it.

Posted: **Mon Aug 09, 2010 12:06 am**

Good call. This is a strictly no-drama thread. It's done a good job of staying that way so far.

Posted: **Mon Aug 09, 2010 12:34 am**

The line between "furry" and "person who digs anthro stuff" is kinda blurry, huh?

No?

Posted: **Mon Aug 09, 2010 12:41 am**

I don't think there's a line at all.

Posted: **Mon Aug 09, 2010 12:45 am**

Exactly my point.

Posted: **Mon Aug 09, 2010 1:06 am**

Distinction: If you like bugs bunny, you are not a furry. If you imagine yourself as bugs bunny, you MIGHT be a furry. If you either get off on bugs bunny or made up your own bugs bunny character that you used to interact with bugs bunny in a story you wrote where your mary sue bugs bunny character was the center of attention, you're a furry.

Posted: **Mon Aug 09, 2010 7:13 am**

Those examples are awfully extreme. There are plenty of people in between; I hardly think that what you described might make someone a furry applies to all furries. Also, watch the content rating.

Posted: **Mon Aug 09, 2010 7:17 am**

I consider myself a furry because I wish I was one. (Squirrel obviously) :3

Posted: **Mon Aug 09, 2010 10:15 am**

I consider myself borderline because I like to draw my own anthromorphic characters and I enjoy this comic.

Posted: **Mon Aug 09, 2010 12:32 pm**

I consider myself not because I have no interest in animals of any kind that exceeds my interest in anything else.

Posted: **Tue Aug 10, 2010 2:43 am**

my interest in the internet does not exceed my interest in real life but i consider myself an internet geek; your criteria confuses me brawlyboy

but hey that's just the nature of self-identification i guess

Posted: **Fri Aug 13, 2010 2:50 am**

I don't know why some people have a humbug up their butt about furries.

Posted: **Fri Aug 13, 2010 6:11 am**

Because some furries have a humbug up their butt about being furry?

Posted: **Fri Aug 13, 2010 11:28 am**

Oh the attitudes of some people, it really doesn't help the overall image of the fandom at all.

Ok, let me rephrase. I consider myself not because I have no interest in animals of any kind that exceeds my interest in anything else, and my interest in animals isn't very large as it is.

I have never heard that figure of speech before. I honestly don't know what exactly you just said.

Posted: **Fri Aug 13, 2010 5:23 pm**

Might be a Washingtonian thing.

Posted: **Sat Aug 14, 2010 2:01 am**

Well, us Washingtonians love to use old outdated metaphors

. We also love apples, trees, fish and rain!

Having a humbug up your butt means your grumpy, have a grudge, or have negative feelings.

Posted: **Sat Aug 14, 2010 9:27 am**

I see. Well, the answer is this:

1.) Furries are weird.
2.) What many people think furries are is even weirder and disgusting.
3.) A lot of furries are completely obnoxious.
4.) When only exposed to only a few furries or their work, it's easy to make deep-seeded judgments based on the louder ones.

I don't think that's really fair..

I am a furry and I talk to many other furries online and they are far nicer than most "normal" ppl I've talked to online or IRL.

Posted: **Sat Aug 14, 2010 11:14 am**

I never said furries couldn't be nice.

Posted: **Sat Aug 14, 2010 12:09 pm**

Its just the way it sounded, we know you wouldnt hate furries, were to awesome

Posted: **Sat Aug 14, 2010 4:02 pm**

Being normal is overrated anyway.

That's true. I don't want to be normal in any way possible!

You are very much welcome.

Posted: **Sun Aug 15, 2010 12:51 pm**

Yes, sort of. I only like the "PG" art or stories or stuff. I often daydream about my fursona and other anthro people.
