Greetings Furry Denizens of GAF!

So...how did you become a furry?

What is your fursona?

How do you feel about this Vanity Fair article?

Pleasures of the Fur

Are you a plushie?

Now, does being a furry free up your sexual identity? Does gender matter as much as the fursuit?

How often do you wash your fursuit?

Was it StarFox, Super Mario Bros. 3 or Disney's Robin Hood that was the main thrust in your furry awakening?

You should read that Vanity Fair article first.

Pretty sure there's a furry picture of ChiTownBuffalo somewhere on GAF. Alas my google-fu is to weak to find it.

CHEEZMO is the queen of the furries.

This is such bullshit!

My furry thread got deleted so this aint fair!

Well Vanity Fair and the guy who used the term should stop ruining more innocent things.

 

[StuKen]

Ban this sick filth!

 

[The Technomancer]

Well Vanity Fair and the guy who used the term should stop ruining more innocent things.

The main lesson is that people can develop an obsession over anything. I would also suspect that its easier for people to develop an obsession with something if they find other people who do as well first.

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

Well Vanity Fair and the guy who used the term should stop ruining more innocent things.

Hey, I'm with you. But, the term is out there. And based onthe article, there is a schism or what appears to be a schism in fur-munity.

 

[2San]

There it is, pretty sure Furry-gaf is going wild right now.

 

[CHEEZMO™]

If this impedes my chances of one day creating a FurryGAF |OT| then some people gon' get fucked up.

 

[questionmark]

I can never understand how someone can stand to be inside the suits, it must be insanely hot.

fixed?

The only truly creepy type is the baby-furry lovers; putting Winnie the pooh in diapers and such.

Not winnie the pooh!

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

Now, would this transfer to your fursona, or is the fursona an alternate personality, like when people LARP?

[GrizzNKev]

I want to look away, but I can't.

Furries -> Furries in nappies -> Furries shitting in nappies -> Furriess shitting in already soiled nappies

Just when you think they can't take it further, they do.

im pretty sure chitown just accidentally double-posted that brony thread and got a mod to change it to this

Also, I went to a furry meetup a few years ago. I think I was like... 14 or 15? I kind of identified as furry back then. I was a screwed up kid.

It was basically two hours of everyone but me in tails/awkward outfits walking around a mall, and the 30-ish year old organizer talking to the two middle-high schoolers in the group about how much he envies them being so young.


It's one of the few internet subcultures I've stopped wanting to give the benefit of the doubt to. The vast, VAST majority of people who are outwardly furry (and past the awkward teen years, lol double standard) are just really creepy.

Really, really, really creepy.



(Actually, now that I'm in college, I will admit there's some furries in my group of friends and acquaintances. Some are awesome. One has furry child porn in the same folder on his laptop that his homework assignments are in.)

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

Dear Furry-Gaf,

This is attractive. But the following is not.

Please explain.

 

[Jenga]

hey furries, would it be too far to assume everytime you think about sex you imagine your yiff-partner having a giant knot dog penis

 

[CHEEZMO™]

Really, really, really creepy.

That's because they're really creepy people.

Stop hanging out with creeps.

Hang out with cool people like me.

Something tells me this thread isn't going to last very long.



Legitimate question - What's with the persecution complex? Most weird fetish groups are either so ashamed they hide it, or just laugh at how pissed people are getting at someone else's sexual endeavors. It seems like a lot of furries are really defensive about their (hobby/fetish/lifestyle/pick whichever one offends you least)

That's because they're really creepy people.

Stop hanging out with creeps.

Hang out with cool people like me.

Works for me!

 

[Pandaman]

racist.

 

[Wilsongt]

Goddamn furries.

 

[rpg_poser]

chitown - I wish you the best of luck in ferreting out the GAF furries.

Somehow I doubt this thread will deliver.

Uhm, can we not use the word "ferret?"

 

[freenudemacusers]

Would you rather sniff them out? I wouldn't.

Why did you have to turn this thread into a war not even on the first page?

Jenga is on the case, he'll threadshit instead of letting furries live just like the My Little Pony thread.

And in either case I'm not a member of either subcommunities

The hate of furries on the internet is so horrible. I mean, I'm perpetually amazed about how some people will redicule and hate people for something that has nothing to do with them.

 

[CHEEZMO™]

My thread (which was actually serious unlike this bullshit troll thread) made it to 10 pages before being deleted.

Yes, deleted.

Edit:

This was actually what my thread was about. I was asking why this is.

 

[GruntOfAction]

Uhm, can we not use the word "ferret?"

It's not a ferret, it's a marten.

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

Wait, I am actually genuniely curious about how people get into the lifestyle and what the impetus is.

i mean, there has got to be a schism between the people who oversexualize and fetishize the furry lifestyle, and those who are into to for whatever reason. I'm curious about that and the reason why people got into fur-dom?

 

[NaughtyCalibur]

I used to be friends with a furry who went to some of the bigger furry conventions every year. One year I tagged along with him out of morbid curiosity, and honestly they were pretty cool people. Socially awkward? Most definitely. But creepy? Aside from perhaps one or two people I met, I can't say they were creepy at all. They were really chill. Actually, the people I meet at anime conventions are typically far creepier. That said, I can't identify with them at all, so I don't bother trying.

Also, what's the deal with furries mostly being homo/bisexual? At least that's what I gathered. It got to the point where furries automatically assumed my friends and I were gay just because we were at the event. I'm not even exaggerating -- everyone I met was gay or bi, including females, and we're talking about over a hundred people over a three day period. Not that it bothered me, but I just don't understand the connection.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Furries will usher in the end of mankind.

i consider myself a trail-blazer, asking the hard questions

furries do you imagine your female partners having multiple sets of breasts?

ANSWER THE QUESTION

Precisely.

Half of our childhood's shows are about anthromorphic animals. I'm not a furry, but almost all of my first crashed were cartoon animals (Lola Bunny was fucking hot.) So I can easily see where this is coming from.
