Kinda surprised at the overwhelming kink shaming. Maybe I shouldn't be, perhaps most ppl here are pretty vanilla and naive about that sort of thing.
Can any furry Gaffers she'd light on the average age of most furries you know? I always assumed it was something that was more common amongst younger people.
So was it the furry or the rape fic that caused him embarrassment really?
all the ones i know are between 20 and 30 but theres more of them all the time, all you need is a cartoon or game to raise a furry adjacent fandom and you will start generating furries by attritionCan any furry Gaffers she'd light on the average age of most furries you know?

Considering the public image furries have, I'd say both. The rape part of the story was completely misunderstood though. Poor website design.
Anyhow, the point is do everything possible to keep your real life and online fursona separate.

Don't really know a whole lot in RL, but if I had to guess 18-30.

Yeah, I wouldn't post half of what I do anywhere if I knew it wasn't anonymous. Opinions that are even slightly controversial that are tied to your name/identity can and will come back to haunt you.This is why I give side eye to the people who suggest people's real names should be tied to their online persona. Pseudonymity/anonymity online is important for a reason, you know.

To tack onto this, it disappoints me how some GAFers still have issues with furries. It's easy to read every horror story about furries because that's the shit that gets the most publicity, but it's a fetish like everything else. There are plenty of helpful people on this site that can educate you. FurryGAF has a bunch of normal ass people posting on it.
I always talk about politics and what not with my dad and one day he suggested I follow it as a career path since I talk about it so much. I shot it down instantly because I envisioned something a lot like this... except not furry cause I'm not a furry. The thought of running for/being in an incredibly public position and having something like this get out is horrific.
Eh, this used to be my perception (and so generally was on "avoid" mode), but it isn't exclusively or at all in a lot of cases. As someone who likes anthropomorphism as a device in fiction, I'm finding that for a lot of people that alone is enough. For me, that aspect can be pretty cool. As a fetish, it also seems generally harmless compared to some from what I can tell (then again, I can't really speak to this).
You're totally right, it's not just a fetish. In the context of this thread, I'll leave the post as is, but there are PLENTY of people that just like to look at the art and draw and shit. For some people it has nothing to do with sex.
Thanks for correcting me.
Yeah I'll never run for office. Not a furry, but good lord, if someone found a way to pull my Incognito search history...
Shit, some of the stuff I don't go incognito for would still probably rile certain people up.
No problem. Like I said, I used to make the same mistake. I think I've embraced the fandom a bit more recently due to the fact that there is a lot of unwarranted hate and oftentimes straight up misconceptions about what it entails.
I feel like this is more important than the furry part.was happy to divulge his sexual likes and dislikes even saying he tolerated rape.

We live in a weird/fucked up country.Friendly reminder that our president bragged about sexual assault openly yet this guy has to step down for a harmless fetish he never intended to be public.

but you already knew that didn't you
Check out the whole OP.

Read the OP, it was completely misunderstood due to terrible site design. It was for sexual preferences in the content the site served. Tolerate was on the more negative side, so he didn't like rape in his erotica.
("But how can it be furry if it doesn't have fur?...")
It's been discussed at length in this thread.
I am aware my point which I should have clarified is that "tolerates rape", irrespective of how the tagging system works was never going to be a good look.
I'm gonna admit, I posted this almost immediately after hearing it in the Super Best Friendcast, and they speculated a bit how people get attracted to furry characters in the first, maybe because you were really young and impressionable and liked Disney's Robin Hood, or Animaniacs, or TaleSpin...but this guy was already 40 when that stuff aired so ¯_(ツ_/¯I'd say I'm too old to know what any of this is, but the dude in the article is comparatively old as dirt... so I guess I'll continue to live in blissful ignorance.
Electing a furry to office? Now we've gone too far.
In all seriousness, that sucks that he had to resign over it, especially the out of place bit about him liking rape porn (which he didn't).

So...he's not into rape? Some crazy character assassination happening here then.

Watch what you post and where you go because if someone down the road decides they really don't like you they can gain access to that sort of knowledge and make your life hell.
