Are You A Furry?

Kyderra · Post by **Kyderra** » Mon Sep 09, 2013 4:29 pm

I wonder if I'm still a furry.

... I know I don't care for labels anyway.

You are a humanoid Growlmon, you tell me =P

These days, I go with the motive you define what you are yourself. It's just fun to imagine yourself as anything these days since that's the fun of being a human being with an intellect ~ to imaginate.

From my experience, people don't really stop being furries very often. Sometimes they'll stop caring about the fandom, but that's it.

I used to say I wasnt a furry but then I found myself entered in a dog show as an official entry

Man, I one more thing I have to add to my list of "things I've seen people do that I want to do myself."

I get a 403 forbidden message.

Can you right-click and copy the image URL?

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Wed Sep 11, 2013 8:58 pm

I've tried that and "reload image" and "view image" and I still get that message. Perhaps since I'm on campus at university at the moment their filters don't like that website for some reason...

Ah, I can see that. Thanks.

Three cheers for helpful mods! Hiphip!

Heh, I think I'll have to start one of those lists, Jeff, so I can add it to it too!

I uploaded it to Deviantart so hopefully it'll work now.

p.s. I wonder if Rick Griffin has seen this thread lately? It seems to have taken on a life of its own

Yeah, I see it up there now. Thanks.

I wonder if this is what it's like being a bunny who people keep asking you "what's up, doc?"

Wait a moment, Tatsuo, aren't you a little old for wanting to ride a trycicle?

Oh this is no ordinary trike. When I'm done with it it will be beast. I'll take some photos of it one day.

hanDesu wrote:anthros are much more interesting than humans

I'd like to think just the appearance. They're fun to draw, but it whats underneath that counts right?

Also I don't know if it's been talked about yet, but I'm just gona leave this here.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jofNR_WkoCE just because.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Mon Sep 16, 2013 12:09 am

I actually quite enjoyed that music video.

Tatsuo: I'll look forward to seeing your trike.

Tycho: I'm curious. Is the movement in your jaw somehow controlled by you within the suit or by someone outside with a remote?

I always keep saying to myself "When a comic has a lot of animals and pets, does that really make it furry? Or does the community do it?" =P

A furry Web comic is one which seeks to appeal primarily to members of the furry fandom. Housepets!, while featuring anthropomorphic animals, is targeted at the broadest possible audience.

That sums up my opinion quite nicely as well. HP! is something I can share with my family and friends, no matter who they might be.

Precisely. =3

Now if only the people that I try to get to read the comic would stop being so dismissive about it. >_>

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Sep 16, 2013 11:07 am

I'm not entirely sure it has to intentionally target the furry fandom to be a furry webcomic.

Do the people who don't want to read it refuse just because animal people?

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Mon Sep 16, 2013 11:13 am

I have a few friends who read it, but the rest don't want to read it because of what society might think of them.
I wish they would stop caring about other people's opinions about them, they're students! Nobody cares what students do differently.

Actually, that's one of the whole grabs they loved about the comic. They loved the sense of humor. The first title of Rick's comic alone was a strong enough grab for the people I showed it to and commented how they loved the name of the title of the comic. After that, though, it's like they don't care anymore.

I think i'm starting to realize it has less to do with the fact it's a furry comic and more like they think the comic is just not strong enough to get into on a regular basis. I can grab readers, but after that, it's back to business as usual. Like a book in the library kind of deal.

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Mon Sep 16, 2013 7:34 pm

The webcomics discovering have brought me in the furry fandom realty knowledge; they're not directly connected, but there's a line between them, though. And according to me, a nice webcomic series featuring stories plus well drawn anthropomorfic animals for the casting, it's a double win.

You follow an active webcomic when you really like it, when it catches you, and the fact that's of the furry kind or not, it's not a reason.

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Sep 16, 2013 9:04 pm

From my experience, it takes a lot to stop reading a comic, since it requires so little commitment to continue reading.

Depends, but you do have a point. When I said "Furry" in my last post, I said it stereotypically when I meant people where i'm at are just not into the cute character pet craze of the comic, but rather the witty pet-like humor.

i think it is a somwhat a furry comic my perents or anyone for that matter dont know i am a furry so i sorta will drop hints here and there i would show them furry art sometimes but when i showed my mom this comic and said it made best anthromorphic comic of the year i think she got an idea cuz my mom asked me its not dirty or innapropiete is it? i said NO and before this i sometimes read vg cats and we wer once waching american dad and it was one random moment there at a fursuit convention and my mom commented on it i dont remember what it was but i said you know what furrys are? she said ya there perverts ..... i wanted to say something but i just froze up i dont know why but it even took me alot to even show her this commic and i know i am a furry i even showed an intrest in furry art and anthromorhpic art before i even knew what the fandom even was or existed so i just called them animal people if there wasent a bad side to the fandom i would be more comftorble talking about it but i just need to set an example that alot of furrys are really good and awesome people but my mom does like housepets though she said it was cute

As mentioned before, there's always a good and bad side to everything. Just show her all the good. I pretty much play the whole naive thing when it come to showing my family anthro art or this comic. I just tell them it's cartoons and I enjoy drawing them.

The way I see it, if your parents enjoyed watching either bugs bunny, roger rabbit, or tom and jerry when they were younger, what's so different about this?

Are you suggesting VG Cats isn't dirty?

Also, please try to use punctuation properly. It makes your posts much easier to read.

Do you consider yourself a furry?
