the woman at these things are often even more hosed in the head than the men.

From my girlfriend's experiences, yeah- terrifying. Whole lot of guys who don't know boundaries, stalkers and flat out sex pests. I don't know of many confirmed cases of rape (but several falsely alleged ones) but pretty much any woman who's been involved in the fandom will have stories of being inappropriately touched, followed around, harassed and so on.

Though the impression you may get is that most furries are gay, for a great many it's jailhouse gay rather than their actual orientation; when a pretty woman is involved in the fandom it's like dropping a hunk of steak in shark infested waters..

If I had to guess, when your prospects are shot, you take what you can get. Combine this with the hypersexuality of the furry community, and you get dudes collecting cigarette burns. :shrug:

Sad to say there are some women who seem to enjoy it- the 'fandom hot' girl with a massive coterie of slathering nerds at her beck and call is a stereotype for a reason. Which makes sense really- if you're a fat/conventionally unattractive/mentally hosed woman who suddenly finds themself surrounded by positive attention and lusted after by a horse of eager young and not-so-Young men then it's going to have some sort of effect. I saw it happen time after time during my involvement with the scene.

The best Freudian slip.

I'm just super uncomfortable with the idea of being surrounded by men who don't understand/respect consent, like you said. Being admired can be nice, but the meat analogy is spot-on. It feels goddamn dangerous.

Edit: That said, I get that I don't get it, and that's good.

It's a common issue and I'm sure a big part of why many nerdy hobbies are so male centric. Nerds like to make fun of "game grrrlllz" online like there's a lot of women out there who want to be queen bee by nature of being the only girl around but the reality is that there are so few women in the first place because no one really wants that much awkward and inappropriate sexual attention.

This is also very true. For a culture that prides itself on openness and being welcoming to all, furry as a whole is surprisingly misogynistic when you look below the surface. Though the 'queen bee' archetype very much does exist. Note that there are some surprisingly normal women involved too, but they tend to stick to the art or costume side of the fandom, rather rhan the sexual or social-politics side. My gf for example was a Fursuiter and bodypainter- she was also rather more naive and less cynical when she was involved with the scene- some of the stories she tells are, in hindsight, terrifying.

No. They made fun of crazy people and crazier ones got offended because of course they did.

Also movie looks cute will check on on Blu Ray avoiding children in theaters, perverts in any fandom about anything because they must make everything about their dicks, and furries in general because they are generally hosed in the head and I don't want anything to do with them.

I work at a casino. That's all the crazy I need on a daily basis. Any more and I'd be like running around with a goddamned chainsaw screaming about how Khorne demands skulls, even worthless furry/brony/whatever new stupid poo poo comes up next that SA posters will inevitably document and research to a level that is..
