Poll: Are you a Furry?

[dietpeachsnapple]

No I'm not a furry. I know a few, mind, and get on well with them, since I'm a fellow anime nut, and quite a few of the furries I know are anime-mad as well, which sums up how I know them.

The whole furry subculture has never really attracted me, to be honest, although I admit that, for a long time, I assumed that being a furry was reserved for fursuiters, which is one of the reasons I was put off.

Still, like I say, I have a few friends who fursuit, and that, coupled with my general open-mindedness, has made me accepting of furries.

Also, I feel very sad that some of the first few posts of this thread were just hate.

First, thank you for your post.

Yes, the first few posts were short winded, but I would not attribute that to a crassness, or distaste so much as the difficulty of starting out a thread of this sort without asking some rather difficult questions.

I asked a question and they answered it. I cannot ask any more of them.

The impression of fursuiters being the majority is, as you mentioned, wrong. I do not mean to delineate the fandom, but I will cite a prominent member of the fandom, 2-gryphon, when saying that they compose roughly 10%.

The CSI episode did little to help the public image of furries, but it could have been far worse. Originally, they had written the script without consultation and its content was far more eccentric and prone to displays of proclivity. They consulted with a member of the fandom producing a somewhat moderated version (though still wholly nonrepresentational).

It can be seen why there is some misunderstanding, and arms-length mentality to the issue. I did not start this thread to solve that, but I do believe that calm and intelligent replies will do some good regardless.

I was a Raccoon-boy for a convention so... yeah! BTW, would that make Mario a furry? 0_o

That's up for debate. I'd say NO in big, red letters.

Are you sure? In SMB3 full frog, and tanuki suits, and in Galaxy a full bee suit... I smell a closet furry...

You'd hate the website Encyclopedia Dramatica. They absolutely loathe furries.

I read that! It's HILARIOUS!

Christ what is it with odd threads today...

I'm not, thanks.

4Channers invaded, obviously.

Maybe the whole troll attack yesterday was part of an invasion. I wouldn't be surprised.

Didn't see any threads yesterday about trolling The Escapist forums on /b/ or /v/.

You go to 4chan? Gee whiz, you must be really cool!

wait

Did I say it in a way implying "oh lol, I go to 4chan I'm sooo cool". No I didn't. Next time you try to make someone look like a moron, try to read what they posted :3

I don't have to try and make you look like a moron, you do a good enough job yourself with all those anime smileys and the whole I GO 2 4CHAN ROFFLECAEKS thing.

Calm it down there, my friend. Having a go at him makes you seem less intelligent than you really are, and I know you don't want that.

Although I do base my self-worth on what members of a forum on the Internet think of me, I can assure you that I am taking none of this seriously.

Alright then, if you're just kidding around with me, I can put up with that. But otherwise it's just nonsense. Nice to meet you by the way.

I understand. You do put forth a forceful opinion.

That website is pure gold. So much epicness.

No, I am not a furry. Human looking animals just looks bizarre imo.

That said, humans with animal-like qualities is ok by me. If its more human than animal then I probably like it, for example catgirls, centaurs, mermaids, etc.

I myself find catgirls to be cute as hell.

Thirded.
Id find it well fun taking someone home whos not in a full on suit but with little ears or just a bunnytail or something.

Crazy girls = awesome sex.

Edit: I have also dressed as Sonic B4!

Cheers mate!

Welcome to the discussion!

I have not yet had the chance to attend a convention yet, but I have heard nothing but the best about them. I would welcome you to illuminate in a PM if you get the time.

I made it pretty clear before (And I think my avatar does as well) that I am a furry. I don't go over the top about it, or bawwww when people say "fucking furries" or attempt to troll me.

I'm saying Mario's a closet furry, with his chests full of animal suits...

Oh wops, I misunderstood you're post, sorry 'bout that. Yeah according such evidence Mario could be a closet furry, but he's not a furry.

While I do agree that Mario does not come across as a Furry - it does remain a humorous and sardonic analysis.

Thank you for your respectful correction of your mistake, I maintain that level heads will prevail in this thread.

Yes, I like my sleeping partners to still be warm.

I think roleplaing a necro would be worse than being a furry, but I have never met or seen any, so I dont know how full on they get with it.

*Shivers* Please no...

Among things that provide me with discomfort, needless drama takes high precedence (along with bees, and spiders...)

Or we could stop this tangent as soon as possible. 0.0

Neither the necromantic nature, nor the sexual connotation fall under the premise as listed in the OP.

Therein, I respectfully request that this line be seen to its end - thank you.

Indeed, this is getting a bit strange.
