Hi. This thread is pretty much dead as dust though, no one can seem to come up with anything to actually talk about.
I tried drawing something, but it didnt inspire anyone else to :S
It was a good effort, you should keep practicing. I think about trying to draw every once in a while but never do, I'm terrible at it. I tried taking a class once, everyone else managed to make some scribbles that at least resembled the subject matter. Me, not so much.
So I kind of didn't know this thread existed.
I won't even attempt to try, I'm horrible at just about everything creative.

So... I like some furry art including many that's posted in this thread, but I don't like many/most of the other things in the furry fandom. What does that make me?
CHEEZMO™;36149356 said:Whaddya mean by "other things"?
Cheezmo is all about the feels today.
Thinking about it, all my college friends know that I'm a furry, but none of my high school or earlier ones. Even though it was in high school that I started to get into the whole thing and started making my character.
I don't know that I had a point here.

People who say stuff like that doesn't count are just in denial
As for your last point: now theres a feel I know. Feels good to get things off your chest and open up every once in a while.

Sure is an entertaining kink though >.>;
CHEEZMO;36151771 said:Yeah, I've noticed that too. Heterosexuality seems to be the minority rather than the norm.
Not really sure what the deal is - never heard anyone get too deep into it, tbh.
Interestingly enough,there was a study two pages ago that tried to study this, among most things:Speaking of that, I've noticed there seems to be a rather high percentage of bi-/homosexuality in the furry fandom, is there any reason for this?
That's mostly how is for me too, I don't really participate in the fandom at all aside from collecting art but still consider myself a furry.Honestly, it's just a kink for me, not a lifestyle, and I think there's a lot of other people who feel the same way =\
Exactly, I don't see how it's any different. No one had problems with all the alien fucking in Star Trek either, even Klingons.The internet is kinda interesting though, since it's okay to be attracted to aliens (looking at you, Mass Effect) but as soon as it gets some fur on it people rage and are disgusted. To me it's on the same scale
Beyond the kink aspect I also really like furries/anthros in general, used in comics, books, animation, games, etc. and wish they were used more in popular media that's not just aimed at kids.
That's a good point.I feel like that might just stem from the kink part, the same way most foot fetishists love Quentin Tarintino movies

Then PMd me about it.

Ironically, there even was a usenet group in the early 90s that used "lifestyle" in the desc related to early furry fandom. But... one must bear in mind how long ago that was. There was no web, no online communities like today. The subject was so niche, that I think it was easier for it to seem like a lifestyle than it is today. Because it actually was - being involved required a lot of legwork, traveling all over in real life, distributing hand printed fan magazines, and whatnot.
IMO much of the "lifestyle" stuff since then has partly been from outsiders disparaging furries. Playing up and overselling how "warped" furry ppl are, and how much they 'clearly have no life outside of furries'. Combine it with a few fruits from the community who get on TV shows or such and actually portray it that way, and a meme is born.
Sometimes, new people to the American fandom actually think they're supposed to find a lifestyle or something just because they've heard about it so much, ah-heh.
The furry thing is far to easy to access and increasingly suburbanized to be a lifestyle today. You have to be a real hobbyist to come close, such as people who actually build costumes or create a lot of content like artwork and writing.
CHEEZMO™;36158236 said:Totally agree with the above posts.
Particularly Lu's post - reminds me of my views on certain aspects of the Brony community, in fact.
But let's not go there.
furry is a stupid word with negative connotations
cute things are cute
You still need a label to describe a general population. Is there something better?
Yeah, to me, it's more about content consumption than anything else.
-none- of my college friends have any idea
