Furry subculture

[Imperial fox]

I was doing some research when i came across this
Furry subculture
i was kinda surprised about some of the things that are in there.
and most of it i didn't even know about, guess ya learn sooner or later.
you should also look at the essay "What is furry" written by "Dr. Pepper"

But enough of this ranting. I'll also take this time while I'm revealing myself to ask for some tips on drawing...I can see it perfectly but i can't draw it, and I'm having trouble with the skeleton framey thingy...

Oh, this looks like it will be a magical read

Furry Porn

Ever since Human beings learnt to draw there has been anthropomorphic porn. Every culture in the world has, since then, had its own type of sexual art. So admittedly there is sexual furry art around, from big breasted comic heroes to hardcore pornography. It does have its place but it is a mere aspect, and not the point, of the Furry world.

LIES AND SLANDER.

I kid, I kid.

Interesting read.

[King Of Hearts]

An intelligent read, everyone of the subculture should at least read something like this to further the fandom.

[Zedd]

Good notes there but I know when not to take it seriously

I had the misfortune of finding the Crush Yiff Destroy site the other day....

*Charles snerks*  I've seen articles and essays and things all over the place for furry, against furry, and neutral.  All we need to be accepted is for several big-name Hollywood celebrities to openly declare that they're furry and furry is cool.  Look how well it worked out for Scientology when they got John Travolta and Tom Cruise.

*Tom goes screaming by*  I know more about psychology than you do!  Thetans speak to my braAAAin!

*Charles  * Yeah... uhm... never mind...

In England there is the Yately Housecon occurring every few months and caters mainly to the art side of furry.

...Dude...Yateley is the town in which i live...

That is so cool! o.o tried lookin' around for more info about it, but i got a feeling it doesn't happen any more.

Yus! :D

Lucky bastards. In Sweden, we are so politically correct that we don't have something like furcons or such.

I disagree. Why wouldn't it be politically correct?

I think it's just not big enough for people to notice other furs and joining up for events.

[thegayhare]

It's odd
I'm actualy having a rather inteligent conversation about the hostility to furries in anouther comics feed and I come here to find a thread on the furry subculture

Well, you see, to me the term "politically correct" is very far from actually correct. In many situations, it's the exact opposite.

And as for why; people seem to think it's either perverted, childish, too "touchy" or just plain unneccesary.

It seems most conflicts and disagreements are due to misinterpretations and/or lack of information. 

[Stygian]

Of course. But stereotypes and images are about as easy to wash away as tar out of parched fur. Or some other things I can think of...

Either way, people do not want to admit their mistakes and failings, because that is embarassing... And then there is the "Jante Law" that complicates things even more.

[DigitalMan]

My personal stance is that "the Furry Fandom" doesn't actually exist. This is mostly to avoid being stereotyped myself...

[Imperial fox]

what caught me after further investigation is that all the sites colapsed at the same time... between 2002-04 all of it has become inactive besides a few art sites and Comics, Namly DMFA. but at that time i also noticed through more investigating found that Transformational sites started to pop up around 2000-02
such as doc's labs or Kanada's.   shame they dissapeared, there probably still out there, just leading an AVARAGE-EVERY-DAY-LIFE. i'm still curious as to what caused the decline...

  I blame over-the-top yaoi fangirls.

[Stygian]

From my time as Darth Yaoi, I have learned that gay love in manga form is a terrible torture and extortion device. As are fanservice-y pictures of characters drawn without their players' consent.

[Kenji]

But.... we -like- Nirfy and Panda.

[Imperial fox]

well caus i felt like it i've keyed in a meet up browser and set it on UK for Gareeku...
Furries+Furry meets by city/Uk

Furries+furry meets well it really is just alowing you to see how many others are interested in it that "registered" near you.
i guess i'll leave it at that.
