theres a half in there somewhere for pointless weird scenes too

That's why it feels overly long.

maybe they like have very fond memories of Disney land....

If Disneyland started making budget cuts.

I dunno
they look relatively similar in terms of cheapness/creepiness

[Hitokage]

I dunno they look relatively similar in terms of cheapness/creepiness

But at least they're brand name characters. No generics at Disneyland.

[Uchip]

so instead of being generic turds
theyre recognizable ones that look (and smell) equally terrible

its like people thought the musical production of 'cats' wasn't strange enough so they had to take it a step further and surround their entire body with a kind of stagnant shell representing their alter ego

[Narag]

Did you check out Buta, uchip?

[Uchip]

yes, it was quite charming

[Horse Detective]

Well, the majority of my days lately consist of work, and randomly pen sketching furry characters. The drawings are just stacking up.


I feel like Jonah Hill in that Superbad scene.

[Uchip]

something like 8% of kids do it

edit: nevermind lol. Just watched the scene again.

You mean world success, constantly played, record shattering musical Cats?? People think it's charming, not strange. People love cats.

I love cats~~! <3 <3
I even drew some cats today!



I am sorry if she is not humanoid enough for you guys, but she is pretty furry~! >___>
Her name's Pudding. <3

On full fursuits: really not my thing. Usually the heads look too oversized for the bodies too.

[FoxSpirit]

That's... *get's adorable overload*
Wow, you are good.
Marry me :-P

In the same tone but different:

so the first fox was implying buttsex?

[EmmanuelMunoz]

It's half political statement and half character tragedy.

Half attempted political statement and half attempted character tragedy :P

[Hitokage]

I think it managed to make its political message clear, actually.

[Haly]

That's really fat.

And cute.

Fat cats are cute.

[EmmanuelMunoz]

I think it managed to make its political message clear, actually.

I'm going to disagree with this. The message of the movie was against the use of recombinant DNA practices but it creates a character that is "bad-ass" and appealing due to these practices. If anything, the movie makes a better point about experimentation on any type of animals and that scientists are evil assholes who will destroy any evidence of failed experiments, something I wouldn't agree with but are points nonetheless.

Even the parts where they make her revert to being a feral beast are invalidated by the fact that she doesn't actually hurt those villagers, it was the mountain lions; the movie makes a better case for it being induced by the harassment of the scientists rather than a side effect.

[CHEEZMO™]

Was getting my hair cut earlier and they were talking about one of the barber's cats and how it's a total bastard and runs his life.

Shit was hilarious.

so the first fox was implying buttsex?

Well done.

To be honest, I think the two halves I mentioned played together. While it shows how asshole scientists will play god and ruthlessly toy with life for profit, even creations that are not actual monsters suffer tragic ends. Bagi had no home and no real family, nor any of her own kind to build one. As a lab product her status as a lifeform is dismissed, and she suffers various forms of abuse. The point of the movie is that we're supposed to feel sorry for her, and to wish she was never put into this situation to begin with.

Also, you can't ignore how incredibly blunt some of the messaging was with the genetically modified rice. ;)

[Lucario]

...... Really?

[Horse Detective]

lol


I thought the first one was female :(

I thought he was male but there was no reason to.

I just associate furs with yaoi.

She's actually supposed to be even fatter, I think. xD Her owners spoil her too much.

I remember seeing this! xD I like it.
Although I guess it would imply the sex more if its tail were up and presenting?

It's most likely a male. Most arthro artists will not draw so many defined whiskers on a female animal or will emphasize eyelashes or other feminine markers.

[How About No]

This was the same thing I thought, dammit

[Haly]

There is also this. Drawn female animals are usually pretty obviously female.

[Uchip]

...... Really?

I thought it was quite obviously an innuendo piece

that and the title is "boys will be boys"

"All men are boys at heart." is the side comment.
And actually, his foxes are all androgynous when browsing his art, no way to tell the fox from the vixen :-P

And, thanks to autopager, this took the whole of 2 minutes ;-)

Male and female.

There ya go :-D

haha
well you solved the mystery
still perverted though!

I love how they describe the effects of DNA mixing as completely unknowable beforehand.

Unknown until we can harness them for EVIL!!!

From a scientific standpoint, the whole rice thing didn't make sense since she would have had to grow the plants and produce the rice before being able to cultivate cross bred seeds! But that's just the nit-picky biologist in me.

I got the impression that she was stable, but fucked with when she was captured.

What is this community all about, basically?

Most of the furries who get made fun of are kind of...

Well, I don't want to sound mean, but.... Asking for it.


There's a lot of persecution complex bullshit going on in the fandom, inculding all of the "I'M A FURRY, GET OVER IT" tags you see on Steam profiles. For most people, it's a fetish with a surrounding subculture. Outside of accepting parts of the internet, most intelligent furries try to be quiet about it.

There's a lot of hilarious people in such an accepting fandom. While it'd be nice if people would just be kind, a lot of furries seem to throw common sense and basic social skills out the window when broadcasting their kinks. :P

(that said, the fandom has some -really- nasty stigmas attached to it, which is why furries usually need to be quiet about it.)

I just realized, you avatar is now a couple hundred times creepier.

Ew, stop talking about icky sex!

People like that aren't real Furries - you weirdos just make the rest of us look bad. Why can't I spiritually identify with my half-dragon/half-lemur 'sona without you creeps making us look stupid?

People like you are why I had such trouble coming out to my parents about this major aspect of my life.

[Lucario]

You know, aside from the total sexualization viewpoint presented by Lucario and the roleplayer crowd referenced by Cheezmo, there are people who just like the idea of people with animal traits.

Cheezmo was being facetious. His viewpoint is pretty much identical to mine. We recognize people who see themselves as "non-sexual" furs exist, but they're almost always in serious denial (and end up being far creepier than people who will just admit they have a fucking fetish).

Naturally, there are people who just like the idea of people with animal traits as a platonic infatuation -- mainly in animation. Judging by how prevalent anthropomorphic animals are in both American and Japanese animation, I'd say most people fall into this category. I wouldn't consider them furries, and I doubt they consider themselves as such.
