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.

I know quite a few furries as well and even some that do go to cons. They're mostly fine people and if I ever do have arguments or disagreemnts with them the whole furry thing is pretty well never a factor except one time when one of them tried to tell me fursecution was real but whatever. With furries it's like any subculture/hobby/etc where the loudest and most assholish people end up representing them unfortunately.

That's an interesting question, and I don't have a solid answer. I think in part it's that within the furry fandom people are a /lot/ more open (too loving open IMO) about what they're into kinkwise, due to the whole 'judgement free' thing that I railed against earlier. After all, I'm sure the majority of people are more kinky than they let on publicly. But at the same point the fandom does seem to attract people with extreme fetishes too- again because of the perceived lack of judgement for them.

One thing I've noticed from some of my friends is what I'd call 'fetish creep'. Initially animal people screwin' is enough but then that gets boring so they have to move on to vore, inflation, etc. Then that gets tiresome and eventually you end up at hyper centaur bondage transformation porn and go figure a fair amount of them too are disinterested in RL sex since they basically screwed themselves up so bad that nothing real can live up to this fantasy they've managed to concoct in their head. I also used to know a fur who's main fetish was making GBS threads himself and he literally thought it was a way of life and got angry any time he was questioned but eh, could do a A/T thread on that guy alone :v:

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. :/

Furries actually did a movie and my god is it as awful as you'd expect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaL4YJbXUys

I'll be honest, all you guys telling me about how pedos really work, although really convincing, didn't mention this scenario:

This does not happen at a convention in public. Little timmy knows these grownups in masks are just fun loving fuzzy big kidders so what's wrong with hanging out?


Now of course I realize this is a bit far fetched. There are actual animal fuckers and nazis and other weirdos that are drawn to this kind of thing. Hell even a few pedos who got caught but that's a small percentage of the whole, and it wasn't furry related even.

But maybe, we shouldn't be dismissing this when it comes to kids, especially because we're in a thread about a bitter angry former furry who we're all collectively praising for leaving the community as an adult for it being toxic.

Edit: Eh, not gonna kick that beehive.

But really though you're seeming really loving obsessive over this you know.

Wasn't there an ask/tell thread from a while ago where some people talked about being artists, having to draw strange poo poo, what they said no to despite the money, etc? I know it got locked and maybe even gassed because how badly it went to poo poo with all the bickering.
