He'd wear a wolf fursuit while out hunting for his victims, and put on his hoof-boots and antler-helmet when it's funtime. For virility. Behold, the horror of The Serial Yiffer. And now the worst depths of my imagination have been instantiated in reality. I hate you.

Having got some idea from this thread the kind of horrific things people obsess about, that story actually sounds like it would be piss-your-pants scary to me.

Tracy Butler isn't a furry, though. According to the Lackadaisy FAQ she prefers drawing anthropomorphic animals because it allows her to draw more exaggerated facial expressions. At least I hope she's not a furry  For content: I went to high school with a number of....interesting people. Aside from the fellow I posted in the Awkward and Ugly thread, the one who immediately comes to mind is "America-chan". She started off relatively sane. Then she started writing horrible original-character self-insert Star Trek fanfic. I remember her printing out excerpts from her deviantart gallery and passing them around at anime club. "Okay", I thought, "at least she isn't spouting this stuff in public" Then she found Hetalia. For those of you who haven't stared down that particular abyss, it's an anime about anthropomorphized countries getting into shenanigans, mostly during WWII. Think a collection of cutesy stereotypes, most of them pretty boys. She started going by "America" or "America-chan" and insisted on assigning each of her friends a country. They went along with it at first, but as she got deeper into the fandom she got crazier, fatter, and stopped taking care of basic things like hygiene. She and a friend starting making up and drawing (rather badly, think typical deviantart horribly proportioned chibi animu desu desu style drawings) original characters for states and cities. This in itself isn't all that weird, but one day she hands me her sketch book and asks me to look.   :Hey Great Green Auk, I drew some new characters, wanna see?Like an idiot, I accepted. Anything to make her leave me alone.  : What....what am I even looking at?: It's [insert her "human name" for New York here] and [New Hampshire] comforting each other because it's the anniversary of 9/11 and and(Important note: I went to high school in New York. Some kids in my school lost parents) : Why are they half-naked?: Because they're comforting each other and it was sad and oh my god aren't they sooo cute?She leaned in uncomfortably close, a disturbing gleam in her piggy eyes. "They live in my head, you know. They're real. Canada won't believe me but that's how I write all of the stories". "Canada", at this point, had stopped putting up with her bullshit. Now I knew why.

My sister called me today. She was at Furcon in San Jose over the weekend. She has always loved and collected dolls and stuffed animals. A few years ago she went into business, making some anthro animals such as Egyptian gods. She also made some highly realistic critters as well. Since she's gotten ill she no longer makes animals, but does sell some from other manufacturers. She's not into fursuits, but she does wear cat ears with certain costumes. I asked her about the fursuit people. You know, for science.  She said that the mascot-type are popular because they are the easiest to make. They can be made out of cheaper fur and still be OK. The high-end, realistic ones are much more expensive in terms of fur and time. She also said she hates the idiots who do the yiffing crap and never bother to get the suit cleaned.

Valex posted:I wouldn't mind hearing about The Amazing Spider-boy I Watson posted:Everyone is interested, no need to hold back. Jason sounds special, start with him. I'll start with The Amazing Spider-Boy because it's relatively short and I have stuff to do this evening. He'll be known as "The Amazing Spider-Boy" for the length of this post because I a)don't actually remember his name and b)am too lazy to make up a good alias anyway. For a bit of background on these stories, I was in anime club for all of high school. It was actually more of a catch-all "nerd club", and we had plenty of well-adjusted, sane, awesome people to balance out the crazy. Having said that, we certainly had plenty of crazy. Including the subject of this little tale: The Amazing Spider-Boy. On the outside, The Amazing Spider-Boy looked like your typical mouth-breathing, slightly pudgy, awkward teenage anime fan stereotype. But secretly, this mild-mannered kid was really The Amazing Spider-Boy! You see, he was trying to make it big by writing smash-hit comic books with his own original character named Spider-Boy. On any given day he might assault you with a 40-minute spiel about his latest adventures with various other Marvel/DC characters and random anime crossovers. I seem to recall one script that involved a team-up with Wolverine and there was something in there about the discovery of the legendary Tetsusaiga (yes, from InuYasha) and some other random crap. If you want to know what these literary masterworks were like, read Christian Humber Reloaded. TASB was basically Christian Humber Lite. Same bizarre crossovers and Mary Sues, same extremely tenuous grasp of the English language. Except unlike Christian Humber, TASB actually converted his works into comics himself. The results are exactly as awful as you'd imagine them to be. Still, he thought he'd make millions one day. Never mind that there already WAS an existing Spider-Boy. He was a 1996 Amalgam Comics crossover oneshot character published by Marvel. But you wouldn't dare tell that to TASB. As far as he was concerned, he invented Spider-boy himself and anyone who said otherwise was a [sputtered string of almost-obscenities and vague insults here]. The more you insisted, the more worked-up he got. His face would turn red like a greasy tomato and his voice would steadily creep up in tone until almost reaching the limit of human hearing. I've heard his literary output has increased as of late. What I wouldn't give for a sample of his current writing  I've also heard that he made a costume. To wear. To school. Yeah. Compared to the other denizens of the crazy part of anime club, TASB is pretty tame.

As much as I think the idea of Hetalia is funny as hell (I'm a big fan of Scandanavia and the World, which pokes fun at national stereotypes among different countries) this is more than a little bizare. Also it's funny how horribly the anime obsession escalates and leads to these predictable symptoms. I wonder why that is. Maybe we can get it classified as a disease.

She had a thing for making her characters violently murder each other and loved including graphic descriptions of dismemberment and torture. With cutesy illustrations.

Frankly, Japan addressing World War II in any capacity seems kinda impressive to me, since as I understand it there's a lot you just do not talk about in regards to WW2 if you're Japanese. P.S. did you ever reflect on the irony of this girl labeling herself as the embodiment of America, then becoming super fat and crazy?

Those things can't be very well ventilated, especially the mascot costume variety (as anyone who's had a job as a mascot can testify), and too much physical activity or exercise (such as sex) in one of those things could kill you from heat exhaustion. As far as deaths go, that's probably more embarrassing than death by autoerotic asphyxiation.

Yeah, you can't look at super cartoony animal faces stuck on human bodies (or human bodies with just hoofs/paws for feet) and say it's not furry. The only differences I've ever heard people say about "Furries" and "Anthros" was that furries were the gross, sex obsessed ones and anthros weren't - which isn't really applicable since Blacksad has sex scenes in it and isn't considered "furry." My animation teachers all say that an anthro/cartoon animal is something you would not feel ashamed to draw naked, but that only applies to people with any semblance of shame. If you have no shame about drawing tits on a dog then how do you figure out if it's furry or anthro? It's just a big mess.

Chiming in with everyone else to say I absolutely love Lackadaisy and it's well worth a read for the wonderful drawing alone, not to mention funny and well written. My only experience of crazy was a guy I knew at uni who was obsessed with Dragon Ball Z. He didn't think he was Goku but spent ages doing painstaking drawings, watching episodes over and over again and dressing up as Goku for any fancy dress party. Obviously then had to explain to everyone else there who the hell he was. Ok, not crazy crazy, but considering he was in his twenties, possibly past the age when DBZ is watchable. If DBZ can ever really be considered 'watchable'. So, can we have the Goku story please? So glad this thread still has more to offer!

It was such a warm email, and I remember being so excited when she answered back. So if you ever stumble upon this, Tracy, thanks for being you and encouraging me to keep going strong. Sorry for contributing to the Tracy derail there.

"Fancy dress" is what people in the UK (and Australia, I believe) call a costume party. I agree, it would be even more ridiculous if the guy wore it to a fancy cocktail hour.

There is a difference between the internet horror story furries and the "people who like anthro animals and go to conventions but are seriously not into any of that fetishey, pseudo-spiritual or liefstyle crap". I know a lot of the latter sort and they really are just normal people with a daft hobby, and would never even THINK of drawing dog dicks. I guess a lot of people on here wouldn't call that sort furries at all, since that word carries connotations of the icky or mentally unbalanced side of things. Still, I can promise you that at least SOME of the people in the suits really are just people having a laugh. Interestingly when it comes to MAKING suits, the sane:creepy ratio is even more favourable, at least for good quality suits. There's a certain amount of real world effort needed to get good at fursuit building, if you're too busy jerking off over ever reference picture I guess you don't get much done. That being said, the crazy and creepy ones are there in abundance and are properly offputting, and there is a LOT of fetishey stuff in the fandom far more openly than just about any other.

So, just chiming in to say I've seen the future of these people: was just asked by a homeless guy wearing a garbage bag poncho and a pair of raccoon ears and a tail if I could give him some money. He's an "artist," you see. He proved it by opening a filthy sketchbook and showing me some yiff art. I told him I'd give him a dollar if he let me take a picture of him and it, but he started yelling about how his art is worth more than that and I just walked away. I'll try to run into him again and see if he'll take a tenner. The furries have even infiltrated the fine, upstanding homeless population of Oakland!

Are you completely for real because if so, this is absolutely, completely tragic in every single imaginable way.  Hell, the street is the worst place imaginable for people like this. The street makes people desperate. And desperate people do desperate things. Anyway, I'm afraid I lack any stories like this. If anything, the worst weeaboo I've ever known would be, well, myself at one point in my life, really. But I can happily say that I never got even a tenth as bad as the examples here. Ironically it was college that helped me get over it since I had awesome friends who made me socialize like a normal person.

man, checking into this thread periodically just makes my head spin anew every time. I already shared my tale of crazy Bird God friend and his cult of spirit children, but... if we wanna talk about crazies in the BJD world, I'm pretty sure I have a good ton of those stories too. I'm a member of a somewhat large, insular BJD community. Not giant like Den of Angels, but we have about 300-400 members on our forums and it's all localized so most of us know each other in person thanks to conventions, meetups, local sales, and just generally becoming friends. And man, there are some real nutcases out there. A majority of the people there are pretty normal folks who like to collect and modify toys, take pictures, and sew.... but there is a small cluster of whackjobs that make things extra "fun" sometimes. We have one pig-nosed girl who is a pathological liar to the extreme and likes to tell people that she carries weapons everywhere to fight off all the rapists that try to get her. She insists she carries throwing knives, bladed fans, and bear mace, and that every man that glances her way is a salivating lunatic with a lust for her feminine girlflesh. She carries her dolls--- always dressed in fetish bondage gear--- around in public and talks to them to deter the potential "rapists". She has shared stories of taking her dolls everywhere from minor league hockey games to gay bars. Pig-nose also claims to have one of her dolls listed as her husband on facebook, and has made miniature condoms and sex toys for her gay bondage BJDs. She also claims to be a goth lolita with JJJ cup boobs (she dresses cheaply and her boobs are modest at best and likely due to her pudge more than anything). Oh, and she's always getting spectacularly injured or witnessing horrible acts of god, but is always miraculously fine when it comes time for the next meetup. Her friend once came to an outdoor doll meet and lay on her back in the grass, holding her doll over her in the air like a baby, cooing to it for the whole drat day. There was another lady, who I will call M, who carries her hideous doll around with her in public in a home-modified baby carrier. You know, the ones that strap to your chest? Yup. Carries around a really creepy looking elf-eared doll in one of those. She has told me how she talks to her dolls, and how she takes them dirt biking and camping and to movies with her. She couldn't be bothered to take off the elf doll’s old face paint to re paint him when she needed to, either, so she just coated his face in too-bright acrylic, making him look like a goth mime. At a convention last year, M hung around my sales table to tell me at length about how her doll was dressed as her character cosplaying as Jareth from Labyrinth. She told me that she designed his outfit herself because it was “more in character for Jareth to have a new outfit than to rewear one seen in the movie”, and had put the Jareth wig OVER her doll’s normal one because “he’s the kind of person who would be lazy about that kind of thing and have his real hair sticking out”. She was also dressed as what she called an “aerial earth goblin”; her own creation for the Labyrinth universe. She was wearing a black t-shirt that said GOBLIN on it in glow in the dark font, had a colander on her head, a pair of poo poo-brown wings on her back, her doll in the carrier on her chest, and was holding a stick with a bunch of (plush) dead chickens hanging off of it. “Because we all know how goblins feel about chickens,” she told me. No. No we don’t. Oh, and M’s middle aged and is married and posts nudes of herself on Deviantart. And types like a 12 year old on cocaine. She also painted pictures of her doll on her underwear. She got banned from the forum for being loving insane and irritating. We briefly had one girl who referred to her doll as her "son", and blocked out his face on doll clothing sales photos to protect his identity. I’ve never met her in person, and while calling dolls children is not unheard of in the BJD world, it’s still weird to me. There’s another woman who has a bajillion dolls and talks to them. She will carry on full conversations with her own dolls at meetups, or if she’s at a dealers room for a convention, she will consult the doll she is carrying around for its opinion on potential purchases. I have seen her literally sit in a corner by herself and talk to her dolls for hours, only taking breaks to eat, drink bubbletea, or occasionally interject into real conversations. She works administration for the local police. I know there are more, but these are the first that came to mind. nanomachines fucked around with this message at 05:32 on Jan 19, 2012 |

Man, I can understand wanting to be cautious but why do all these crazy girls honestly believe that all men are out to rape them? So weird. It was a little cute how you said her doll was wearing a wig over his wig because he was cosplaying though. If it didn't have the rest of the post around it it would actually be really adorable.

the kawaiiest posted:Here, Oh god,  . Phuzzy posted:The astral soul of her astral boyfriend ends up in the resin form of her BJD. Yes, that's pretty much it. I don't have a lot of time right now, but I wanted to update some more. Jen + Inuyasha or, a sign of things to come. To properly introduce Lauren, I'll have to explain more about Jen. I don't know when the Inuyasha bug bit her, she and I had always gone to different schools, and my mom stopped being willing or able to take me anywhere because of car trouble or something, so her being that close to me on a daily basis was a pretty much the most I'd seen of her in a while. We still talked on the phone on occasion, but never very long. The first day we got together at the library in-between our schools, I met Lauren. She and Jen would hang out there every day and use the library's computers until their parents got off work and came to get them. Every day, they sat and sifted through Google/various fan-site image galleries and printed off pictures for the allotted hour the librarians gave per person to dick around online. Jen printed out "reference pictures" to take home and trace so she could come in the next day and show off her latest masterpiece before it went up on her wall. Lauren printed out piles of pictures to carry around with her at school. I'm not sure which one of them started first. It started out innocently enough, Jen just wanted to say she made something pretty. That's what I thought until I saw her room again, at least. The wall was indeed covered in traced art taped up in rows, each picture taped badly to the next. It was like a wallpaper of tape, tacks, and art theft. (But these were her OC, guys. It's Kagome with dog ears and purple eyes, totally different.) On the other side of the room, next to her bed, was a small bookshelf with a tablecloth. The bottom two shelves held issues of the manga, the top shelf held barbie dolls dressed in costumes- one meant to be Inuyasha, the other meant to be her OC. On the table cloth was a framed picture between two candles and a dragon incense burner. In the frame was a traced version of someone else's fan art of Kagome (only, you know, with ears) in a wedding dress with lifted veil labeled "My Wedding." Jen may have been done with Spirit World, but she clearly hadn't grounded herself in reality. Next time: Lauren and her BJD boyfriend.

Horrible Smutbeast posted:The artists of the show draw gay/lesbian porn of the princess and the vampire girl together, so I'd say it has a head start on that. Are you sure you're not thinking of that one crazy fan on tumblr with a real similar art style? I do know one of the animators draws some art with Marceline and Bubblegum, but its nothing pornish that I know of.

It's only one of the animators that does it and I don't think there's anything more extreme than kissing. The show generally does mock the creepier parts of the fanbase quite a bit and the creator's explicitly stated that there's nothing going on between Bubblegum and Marceline. Of course, those have never stopped anyone. Wrestlepig fucked around with this message at 09:07 on Jan 19, 2012 |

Of course, those have never stopped anyone. There's another animator on the show that draws Ed Edd and Eddy gay porn, and other stuff. It's sort of accepted in the industry that the animators that work on kids shows usually draw really weird poo poo to make up for their boring rear end jobs. It's pretty funny that the writers/artists say one thing and then turn around to draw the characters as lesbians.

Horrible Smutbeast posted:Man, I can understand wanting to be cautious but why do all these crazy girls honestly believe that all men are out to rape them? So weird. Short version: because, in their heads, being targeted by rapists means they must be attractive and sexually desirable. Long version: A lot of anime and other nerd-directed material works with the idea that rape is an act of love at best and a crime of passion at worst -- that rapists assault their victims because they're overcome with love and lust and just have to express it, because the victim is so desirable. These girls are usually insanely socially awkward and desperate for any kind of affirmation of their capacity to be lusted after and/or loved, so the theoretical attention of rapists is very positive, and they're willing to imagine it's there. Alternately, being afraid of rapists is an excellent excuse for having social anxiety problems anyway or not interacting with strangers. Even legitimate anti-rapist safety advice for women generally involves some degree of paranoia, so taking that a step further (if you're already a little detached from reality) makes it totally plausible to do whatever antisocial thing you want, right? She's not playing with dolls in public and avoiding eye contact because she's awkward and has a nigh-autistic focus on her obsessions -- no, she's doing it to keep herself safe! Can't you normies respect that?! Antivehicular fucked around with this message at 11:04 on Jan 19, 2012 |

Of course, those have never stopped anyone. Didn't the creator also say he wanted to make female cartoon characters for awkward children to have crushes on? It's weird that he's trying to ward off shippers but facilitate nerds who are attracted to cartoons.

Antivehicular posted:Short version: because, in their heads, targeted by rapists means they must be attractive and sexually desirable. When I was 12 I had a classmate who was the only fat girl in school and always had some story to tell about how random guys she hung out with outside of school were madly in love with her. She also lied about her cupsize. She loved the idea of being the first girl in class to get boobs so she paraded around showing her fatroll/moob cleavage, since she didn't have actual breasts yet. Later when puberty hit she would loudly brag about how large they were and how hard it is to find bras, sometimes even going as far as to fake back pain because her boobs were just so, so large. In reality, she had a b cup that was struggling to stick out further than her belly on the best of days. Whenever something really bad happened to someone she would have the same problem the next day. I can only imagine that this girl had never actually experienced pain, loss or anything because goddamn, your classmates nearly dying from appendicitis or losing their father is not enviable you loving loony.  It's all insecurity I guess, expressed in the most annoying of ways.
