Guess you didn't see the "No Reason" part of my post :P

People who hate on furries usually have a reason. I stated it.

I don't care what other do in their free time, I don't care about their sexual orientation, and I don't care about who or what they think they are. All people create a mental image for themselves to some degree, and other people have different looking ones. Some people have anthropomorphic animals, others have dragons, robots, elves, Na'vi (hurr durr), and countless others. Heck, I'm working on drawing one I've had in my head for years and never gotten off my ass to actually draw.

What I don't like is how "Furries" represent this. I use DeviantArt a lot for referencing different art styles and to look at how I can improve my own artwork, and I cannot get away from the furries. They're everywhere. And I find the art style extremely obnoxious. It's like Looney Tunes/Disney meets Hentai. It's even worse when I'm trying to do an image/art search in a public area, and I stumble on a bunch of furry pics by accident (this happens a lot on DA) and I have to try and close the window or else get strange looks/laughs from random people.

TL;DR: It's fine that other people are into this sort of thing, but they do a very poor job of representing it. Keep the art in closed galleries that people can access if they want, and label the images as adult/mature.

You do know that not all Furries are artists? I find your post offensive and rude. All art is beautiful no matter what style you are doing. Most Furry art I see aren't "adult/mature" art. I highly doubt things like kissing or hugging isn't considered adult/mature content. Idk what you are searching but most furry art I come across aren't adult/mature content.

Ah, that's quite handy, thank you.

Still, it always piques my curiosity when someone claims that I'm wrong about something, because at the event that I'm wrong, I have something new to learn if there's a better explanation to it all, or something.

If I’m able to vitiate your claims concerning the amount of wholesome, respectable furries in the furry community, undermining everything you've done thus far, with just one picture... then that is why you fail. If you were actually right, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Driving the point home: as far as I know, we are the only fandom who have created a new word for sex. (Feel free to go Google'ing to prove me wrong. But admit, it's one of the few if not the only that comes to mind, am I right?)

Just because one does something, does not mean that is all they do. See, there you go, assuming the same thing everyone else is. I'm not on either side. I disagree that it is/ever was/will ever be an entire clean fandom (and that that's all it represents), but I also disagree with many of the things the extreme members of the fandom think and do, because there is a beautiful side to it, it's just hard to see it sometimes.

In short, I was simply fighting fire with fire. Pun intended.


Are the members here that find Neytiri (or Jake, and I know you do) attractive just a bunch of “horn dogs?”

People often only hear of the “negative” aspects because, quite frankly, there are a lot more of them. I call them negative for lack of a better word. I'm sure you're not surprised how many furries are open about sexuality within the fandom, but god forbid a debate arises.. "Quick, hide the porn, clean this place up, fetch me a mop!"

You're criticizing an aspect of your own fandom. It’s like you’re implying that only furries that think and act like you are what the whole thing is about. Unless,...perhaps you are the one of the few sane people left. >>

@Andi... so, you're in a debate thread, not caring what others have to say… HMMMMMM :S

Fosus 07-31-2010 10:39 AM

Why so serious? :D I just laughed out loud when browsing the last few pages of this thread with the picwars. :D

TxonTirea 07-31-2010 11:04 AM

Do we seriously have two furries fighting? Come on people, just accept that there are two different parts to the fandom, move on. Furry powah.

Sexuality is such a difficult thing for people, seeing as in many cultures it is such a taboo, and especially in America as far as I've heard. It's always fine to jest about the subject, but when it comes down to talking seriously about it, people start to claim absolute purity and whatnot, because they think sexuality is something unclean, something to hide and to be ashamed about.

Suffice to say when you add sexuality to anything, it will cause enormous amount of drama, because it's such a controversial subject full of hypocrisy. So much fuss over simple and natural thing, but then again what would the world be without drama.

Human No More 07-31-2010 01:11 PM

hahahaha :P

Ok, I'll say it AGAIN...
I know not all furries are only interested in sex within it, and I have no problem with people who DO like such things, but I still don't like it when they assume that everyone wants to know about that... I really would rather people keep their personal lives private. I wouldn't want to tell other people about my interests in that way.

Lyra 07-31-2010 02:23 PM

As a note, if you want to debate about a personal issue to do with 'furries' and think it's inappropriate to post here you can post on #furry on the wyldryde network.

I was talking about the thing you quoted.

I'm sorry.

I posted in here and then forgot about it; I should have checked back in on it.

......AAaaand it looks like I may have offended some people.


Let me restate my viewpoint more simply so that people don't get the wrong impression:

I don't mind furries. They tend to be nice people. I also don't care what "kind" of furry they are. What I don't like about it is that I can't seem to get away from it sometimes. I like some of the artwork when it isn't done in a certain style, and I don't mind looking at it, but sometimes I can't get away from the other artwork. Not necessarily adult stuff; it's the non-adult stuff too. People who aren't really internet people look at that and instantly go "WTF" about it.

So I really don't have much to add to this thread, I suppose, other than stating my viewpoint about it: I don't care much for most of the artwork. I think that furries could benefit from a general change of style when it comes to the artwork they use to protray themselves on the 'net, but my opinion really means nothing.

As for the "moving furries to their own gallery" I didn't mean making them all "adult only images" I just meant that maybe they should have their own section, because some people find the art disturbing/embarassing. This would make it easier to find anyway, and people could choose to put there art here or not.

I'm sorry if some of you still find this offensive.....it's just my viewpoint. I was polite about stating it, I didn't insult anyone, and I wasn't ambiguous about it. You'll find many many people who will not think the same way as you do about things you feel strongly about; that's life.

It's better to develop a "tough shell" and just ignore the people who hate you or vehemently disagree with you than jump into the gunner seat and start firing away, as it were. This is part of the reason why trolls like furries; many of them are too easily offended. The best way to defend yourself from these kinds of people is ignore them without any response, and go about doing your business anyway.

I don't have a problem with your opinion, because you don't like the art, and I can't change that, nor do I really want to or care. I just don't understand why you quoted that post. You not liking the art has little to do with Aquaplant's quote about what furries are. Edit. Disregard that - not as big a deal as I'm probably making it sound.

But it's art. And it's on deviantART. There's a nudity filter, for legal matters I assume, but other than that... ?

Your proposal sounds like segregation. Which isn't nice.
