Why is there not many "furries" in video games these days?

Totally down for having more attractive big girls like Lizzo or Elle King in games.

Coming into this thread with a serious response here. I'm an admitted furry and enjoy going to conventions, cosplaying, and owe a lot of my modern friendships to people I've met through this particular community. I don't engage in any weird sexual stuff, since that seems to be the first thing a neophyte to our brand of culture seems to swerve to. It's there, but the weird shit is kind of rare, and ironically the stuff our community is associated with is deeply frowned upon and criticized from within. We comprise a huge part of the art community. A lot of content some of you have enjoyed was probably made by an artist that is part of the furry community. That said...

There have been a lot of great games with anthropomorphic characters this gen, a lot of them on the indie scene. A few examples of games with characters I'd consider "furry": Hollow Knight, Ori and Will of the Wisps, Night in the Woods, Undertale, Dust: an Elysian Tail (its creator is actually working on an unannounced new game right now as part of another one-man project), Sonic Mania, Yooka-Laylee/Impossible Lair, Pokemon Sword/Shield, Animal Crossing NH, Zelda BotW, Owlboy, Wonderboy: the Dragon's Trap/2, A Hat in Time, Cuphead, Kingdom Hearts III...the list goes on and on.

Ignoring the furry cringe culture outside of the gaming sphere, there are plenty of games that celebrate and portray animals with human characteristics. Animals in media and stories are an important part of the human experience, as we cohabit the same planet with them -- they are forever a part of us. You can see from the first records of human storytelling that animals that act like humans have been a thing, from cave paintings, ancient costumes, festivals and important cultural holidays. It's a shame that's all ignored against a modern backwash of ignorant internet cringe. If you're actually interested in what furry is about, I'd recommend giving this recent documentary a look. We are artists that contribute quite a bit to the gaming hobby. Troll post if you like, but this is what we're about: inclusive and artistic freedom.

And I'll point out shit like this

keos-masons-ellie-no-helmet-ue.jpg


It's not even her size that bothers me, my avy will tell you that. What the fuck is even her proportions? Not her titties, I've held titties that size before, I'm talking her legs. No fat woman is built like that. She has NO calves somehow, her ass is lower than her finger tips. And I've been with women with multiple chins but nothing like this. It's like they tried to give her another head for a neck. Hell, for fat women to cosplay her they have to make a fake neck and stuff their own overalls. Fat women shouldn't have to wear fat suits to cosplay another fat woman. Don't even get me started on fat women in Zelda games, somehow they are ALL old and misshapen (excluding Telma).

Pretty sure that character isn't designed to be fap-bait, my dude. She's intentionally designed like that as a contrast to her scrawny brother, and model mother. Imagine trying to critique whether or not a character design is 'realistic' in a Borderlands game lmao

Coomers need to chill, yo.

I know it's an artistic thing but she's often the person REEE goes to for "beautiful" fat women in games. Yet they get mad when you point out any flaws with her, again, like her elongated back.
 
We don't need anymore groups bitching about their lack of inclusion. Don't need people calling me furphobic if I say Sonic sucks. People already lost their shit at me on Twitter cause I said Lev is like Abby's daughter..😭Son!!"

James Cameron made a movie which starred furry space cat people and it was like the most succesful movie of all time. Watched by millions.

We need less woman in video games and more animal/alien woman, if they complain they are species racists like Ashley in Mass Effect. Fuck that alien racist bitch.
People need to be more progressive.

First, there was racism and that was normal.
Eventually, people of colour have an opportunity.
Woman have rights and vote.
Star Trek introduced the interracial kiss.
Gays and lesbian can marry.
Now we have transgender people getting rights.

What's next?

Interspecies relationships.
When aliens and chimeras, and half-human half sexy animals make their way, we are going to see more of these relationships.

Like Man and robot relationships as explored in Ex Machina, Mass Effect, etc.
We are seeing movies where a fish-man can fuck a woman in that movie The Shape of Water.
We are seeing alien and human relationships like with that Vulcan and human to create Spock.

I'm already ahead of the curve and we are going to fuck aliens, animal chimeras, robots, etc in the future. We think its abnormal, but fuck the times are changing. Did the cave people expect socieiies and civilizations like this one.
We are living out a movie with this pandemic and covid-19.
It's going to be a matter to time when an asteroid hits and we do crazy shit similar to armageddon, or an alien invasion happens like in Independence Day and we have to call the Avengers or some shit.
Stranger shit has never been explained until more recently.
People need to be more open.

The truth is out there. Interdimensions and all this crazy shit, far beyond our comprehension.

Fuck....

Because furries (the fans) made themselves known on the Internet and now no one, myself included, can look at these types of characters the same way anymore.

This is a legit good answer.
The same goes for heartbeats as well and other objects you never knew had become fetishes.
 
I dunno, I still ask serious questions of myself everytime I watch Cheetara leaping about in re-runs of old Thundercats episodes.

She's not really a furry (falls more in line with catgirl or semi-furry) so I say you're good. The bulk of furries are characters from shows/games like Disney's Robin Hood or sonic the hedgehog.

and the concepts of these characters were forever ruined for me when I first started posted comicson deviantart and was immediately traumatized by the shit I saw there.
