-laughs- You all take it so seriously! That's adorable too! -hugs everyone-

Post by **Sleet** » Thu Jul 07, 2011 1:55 pm

*hugs back*

That's what furries do! Be adorable!

Well, sometimes furries are frightening too. But not here. ^_^

Sleet and say, Me! We're prime examples of adorable furries ^w^

I'm not adorable OR frightening.

Making broad generalizations about the fandom. HOW DARE YOU.

While I'm the example of an adorable non-furry.

Don't flatter yourself, human.

Oh hush, you know you're adorable.

If there's anything I've learned about the furry fandom, it's that every single broad, sweeping generalization is 100% factual.

-glomps Sleet- Scary Furries? Like how are they scary?

-hugs Teh Brawler- You're adorable too!

I am not! At the very most, I am mostly not unattractive. Maybe with some softly handsome features.

Especially those foxes.

I have absolutly no idea what you guys are on about! What's up with the foxes? Oh today I saw a fox get hit by a car D': I cried about it all day...

Post by **Sleet** » Thu Jul 07, 2011 2:24 pm

Oh no! D: I would be so sad too! D:

A vocal minority of furries is very perverted. To maintain forum rating, we are to go to no more detail than that.

Ah, that kind of scary... -giggles- I think we shall leave it at that.

Not a Furry one. Just a anime/video game one

That's pretty funny, Russiarules. Too bad I cannot relate, though...

Being a furry must be fun. Being human is awesome, though! Especially since I am one who gets to hang around with fluffy friends. I like all of the furries I have met so far, but really, I guess at best I could be called a furry groupie.

Russiarules1 · Post by **Russiarules1** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 7:54 pm

Relate?

copper · Post by **copper** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 7:57 pm

A reference to something is all. Only a few people would know it. Sorry about that, Russiarules. I really did enjoy it, though.

Russiarules1 · Post by **Russiarules1** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 8:10 pm

I know. I'm glad that you enjoyed it.

kurowolfe · Post by **kurowolfe** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 9:02 pm

I can definitely relate though.
I was actually in denial for quite some time before this, because unfortunately what I initially learned about furries are kinda disturbing, and the general society seemed to distance themselves away from them. And I hate being left out.

But the more I say no, the more I thought "Yes, you are one! Just admit it!"
In the end, after giving it a long thought, I conclude that there's no point in denying who you really are, even if people won't like you for it, so I gave my answer a few pages back here. And I gotta say, I never felt happier since =3

I grew up in the 90's... which is the decade after the rampant late 80's and I have been exposed to anthromorphicism as equally as human interactions. Dragonball Z and Disney did a number on me and every videogame I knew at the time had talking animals... Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon... etc.. so I just loved the ideas of humanized animals. Thereby defining me as a furry only somewhat... and then I found the fandom, destroyed my childhood coped, found all the nice furries in here and began to heal into a crystalized rabbit caccoon worm alien baby football... oranges... *dazes* yeah... so I'm a furry. *laughs*

Russiarules1 · Post by **Russiarules1** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 10:15 pm

Second that ^ Except that I am not a furry.
I mean, I grew up with some episodes of the Road Rovers, played video games of Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the dragon and others. Part of my childhood grew up with Sonic The Hedgehog and Dragonball Z (in Espan'ol), and others.
I mean, liking stuff like that makes me a furry? Or just judging me by the profile picture that I have?(Hammer and Sickle and a paw).
Meh, whatever...

Cwitt · Post by **Cwitt** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 10:20 pm

Mine is a little shorter and less thought out.

Saw Dragonheart (I think thats the right movie) and thought "movies need more talking dragons".
Saw an furry drawing
searched furry *shutters*
Searched furry AGAIN.
Found Housepets!
Turned into a raccoon.

That's about it.

A lot of furries seem to go through having their childhood destroyed, sadly.

kurowolfe · Post by **kurowolfe** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 12:35 am

*slowly raises hand while looking down* Like me...
Is that really true, Sleet?

Yeah, I would say that the fandom is sort of a way to cope with one's shattered childhood.

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 12:50 am

That's not what I meant. I just mean that lots of furries end up accidentally seeing things they wish they wouldn't. Let's please not go into detail.

Daggy · Post by **Daggy** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 12:54 am

Because most childhood things involve animals. Who knows why.

My childhood has yet to be ruined, thankfully. Other than silly pictures such as that Dugtrio one, where it shows them underground, but that's nothing serious.

I think...the thing that started me on the furry path was a random series of transformation stories. Winds of Change. I still read through them every now and then. They were really good. Eventually, I joined DeviantArt because my friend kept pestering me to and found...the piece of art that really turned me on to the furry fandom.

http://silverpoot.deviantart.com/art/I- ... g-46831992 It's still my mousepad image (Was in a computer class, and we were allowed to make a mousepad with an image of our choice. I chose this one, but it's all arranged wrongly).

Never really thought about it too much. I preferred the "anthro" artwork, as my friend called it. Eventually learned it was called furry, heard the uh...lesser parts of the fandom (of which we will not mention), but still never thought much about it.

Naturally, no one truly knows because I don't think it's something I need to straight up say. Any forum or IM avatars of mine have almost always been a cartoony looking animal of some kind, ever since ~2007.

P.S. rofl long post.

P.P.S. I found my old writing, my first attempts at fanfiction. Oh my goodness it's horrible. I can't tell who's talking at all in the dialogue. And it's so short! I could never stand anything that short now, hahaha.

OOOOOOHHHHH.

I feel really stupid now.

Post by **Dissension** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 1:16 am

Skirting around "that part of the fandom we don't talk about" is still technically talking about it. There's no need to mention or dwell on those aspects and continuing to do so is not in anyone's best interest.

Also... yes, I am a furry.

zeldakeeper · Post by **zeldakeeper** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 1:52 am

I'm still a child, I can't ruin it yet～

Sleet, easy with the human word. It makes some of the newer and/or less furry members uncomfortable when you refer to non-furries that way, even if you're just joking.

Do you consider yourself a furry?
