This thread is fascinating.

I know dozens of furries and none of them are the con-going, fursuit-wearing kind. Just regular people who like the art/porn, and generally watch too many cartoons. When you divorce it from the ridiculous "community" poo poo it's no worse than most other fetishes.

Yeah. The director of 'MI:3', the furry security agency (god, typing those words made me flinch) is an out-and-proud horsefucker.

I seriously thought you were saying JJ Abrams is a horsefucker for a second.

I literally just saw this a minute or two ago. It basically looks like 'Furry, the movie'.

I'd be surprised if there isn't already hardcore porn of it being drawn. :/

What have they done... WHAT HAVE THEY DONE?! :stonk:


(seriously though that movie looks awesome :3:)

edit: Okay, thanks to IRC now I know Rule34 has already been activated on that fox and bunny :gonk:

That looks pretty great, actually. Honestly I'm glad the genre hasn't been completely ruined for Hollywood. I grew up with junk like Redwall, Secret of NIMH, Robin Hood, etc. It was all really wonderful cute fun and after the internet destroyed my innocence I was always worried that movies with anthro characters would be p much tainted material.

On the other hand there's something to be said of self-aware furries who can laugh at how horrible the fetishy community can be. For example. (NWS/NMS)

I knew you'd show up in this thread eventually, Catboy :allears:

Furry Force is hilarious, but it's not made by furries.

I swear I read or saw an interview with the creator of that where he admitted he was in the fandom at some point of his life.

Just how lucrative is being a furry artist? Can it make someone as much money as a full time job? Could a talented artist live a comfortable life if he/she was without scruples on drawing crazy poo poo? (How would that get filed on their taxes?)

The latest thing is auctioning off commissions*. Some of the big artists get $200+ for one artwork. If you can pop out 5 or more of those a week it's not a bad income, I reckon. But only the very top tier would consistently sell stuff like that. Maybe only 10-20 artists in the entire online scene can live like that full time with no other income.

There's also a slew of things like Patreon that are getting popular.


*Especially of the "YCH" (your character here) variety where it's pretty much a near-fully-sketched scene, and people bid HUGE amounts to be the character in the focal position of the artwork. Then the artist just fills in the details.

A lot of people bring up the "How come there are no bug/octopus/naked mole rat furries? :smug:" thing but choosing an ugly animal to be ironic is becoming as cliche as going for something mammalian and Disneyfied.

And flurries are all over the spectrum, from hard right to full on communists. Honestly, furry politics is something that I've never really discussed in depth though.

The funniest thing I ever saw was a "Republikin" livejournal community. For conservative otherkin.

That's factually incorrect. Vast majority of people are in fact closer to a baby than to a lion, genetically speaking.

You just brought phylogenetics to a babyfur fight.

Apparently so, though it's something I've never encountered in the UK, or at least at London or Birmingham meets. It seems to be more of an internet/art thing rather than a social/costume based one.

Is one of my own pictures from Confuzzled 2013. Later on, I was in the dealer's area talking to J, and commented that 'I wasn't sure if that lovely cheetah suit is serious or an attempt to troll'. Of course, the guy was standing behind me and got rather upset.

Love the bitchy judgemental look on the fox-alligator(?) in the background.

If you look closely at the background, you can see this character foreverially tied-up and possibly delitised and enjoying it. :(

Oh poo poo I forgot about that guy! What's he been up to lately in the art space?

Camrath, what's the weirdest and most specific fetish a fur you've known irl had?

I was waiting for someone to get impaled like in Cabin in the Woods.

Literally the best comic I've ever read.


When I was dying for the English release of tome 5 (Amarillo), my boyfriend bought me the French version and singlehandedly translated the whole thing for me. With post-it notes for every speech bubble :3:
