furries

[james"bloody tears"]

so how many of you are furries or know what a furry is?

[Tha Duckman]

Yes.

.ooybvt,uotu

[james"bloody tears"]

yes you are one or yes you know one

[Bella Sophia]

I know a few guys that are furries. One guy never shuts up about it and freakin annoys me. He proves almost every furry stereotype true. My other friend though is pretty cool.

[emeraldlonewoulf]

yes, and there are already a couple of older furry threads around here somewhere. except for those who are furries of one sort or another, I doubt you'll find much knowledge or acceptance of it. It seems many goths have come across those whiny teenage confused and angsty furries , and it has predjudiced their view of the subculture. >: ) :P (please note tongue-in-cheek, mildly sarcastic tone)

[Tha Duckman]

I knew a bunch in London.

[Xombie]

Fuck furries. :K

He won't care. He's a stubborn little twat that knows everything about nothing. I can't even talk to him about music because he acts like such a damned know-it-all, like he knows every band on the planet.... that's why we stopped talking.

I suppose I can't call him my friend anymore.

I don't personally understand furries, but as long as it's all consensual, "whatever floats your boat."

[james"bloody tears"]

green lady care to explain what you mean cuz im lost

[emeraldlonewoulf]

james, most people who have heard of furries have just heard of certain sexual aspects from the minority. most people think of furries as people who dress up in suits for screwing. They don't understand fursuiting, or that it doesn't have to be a sexual thing, or that most times it isn't, or even that the great majority of furries aren't fursuiters. Kinda like people automatically assume goths are into heavy bondage :/, except with furries people think that is the main focus. they don't know about anthropomorphic art, or the spirituality some associate with it, or that it is a way for some people to be more comfortable in their own skin.

[james"bloody tears"]

i knew that, it kinda makes me sad, stupid stereotypes. when you said "as long as it consensual" it kinda threw me off

[Green.Lady]

I was just saying that I don't care what people do in a sexual nature if it's consensual. I don't know about the other aspects of furry culture - please explain.

[james"bloody tears"]

im new to culture but i'll give it a go.
for some of us its a way to escape, for others a way to meet interesting people, for some its entertainment, for others unfortanitly it is about sex, some of us just like to cuddle with total strangers in suits. thats as best i can put it, if you want try wikipedia or a furry web site.

So why does dressing up as animals turn some people on?

That's hot, Duck.

[Tha Duckman]

Ain't it? Just imagine a big duck wearing goggles and straddling a cherry red Fender Strat. That was me circa '95.

[Miss Cogs]

Who finds Cat Woman hot? Hmm? Personally, I do.

She's a leather kitty. ;P

[Underwater Ophelia]

I'm not a furry myself, but I'm familiar with the culture.

[KontanKarite]

I don't really have an opinion on them save for the fact that they strike me as almost the same mentality as those in the goth culture that thinks it's all divine or special in some way.
