The Perception of Furries - How to Change It

never said it wasnt documented, just saying the problem is overstated

Sorry someone has to say it, but aside from the outliers and lunatic fringe, the furry fandom has a very healthy sex-positive stance, which along with accepting a LGBTQ+ community, it helps keep it from being taken over by corporate and private interests. If you can’t advertise to furries because of their perceived adult-only status, congratulations. Your fandom is and forever will be yours. Considering that furry is predominantly an art and creator based fandom, this is super important.

The truth is furries are very good at policing their own, they constantly exile illegal /racist/facist activity from their own fandom, but unfortunately that part never gets heard because most people would rather listen to the drama and preconceived notions.

Are they perfect? No. But they’re trying, and honestly doing a lot better than some of the other fandoms out there.

[Insert group] is filled with a bunch of degenerates, anyone who belongs to them are filthy heathens that need to be purged. Don’t believe me then watch this [insert youtube video] and check out this [insert news article]

It works for any group. It is like a mad lib, and the reason why I try to avoid generalizations because it can be used against anyone. We see it used against religious people, non-religious people, LGBT, straight people, white people, black people, men, women, the list just goes on and on.

I don’t like it when people try to push whatever group I am in into a box, and give me the attributes of the worst members and I’m sure most of you don’t either. It is just rude, and completely unnecessary - but understandable because that is how our society tends to behave. It also has lead to some of the worst atrocities the world has seen.

Okay, off my soap box - no hate to the haters. I’m not better than any of you.

So making stuff up now? My gf has been playing with me for years, never happens. Also unrelated, try again.

As someone who dabbled in furry stuff about 16 years ago.

Hard, HARD pass on this.

You guys have the stigma you have because of the people you choose to associate with and allow inside your group. And the sexual side of furry stuff is SO rampant and in your face constantly, it’s gross and unnecessary.

Just my opinion. I’m sure everyone will be talking about how “sex positive” furries are, I just don’t need it shoved down my throat like Indy with the blood drink in Temple of Doom.

I’m a dude in real life.

I play tons of hot chicks in MMO’s. FFXIV, here, DDO, Neverwinter. MOST MMO’s, I play women.

My wife also plays, and only plays women.

Only /tell I have EVER received was in WotLK. A dude helped me with a quest and then tried to act like we should cyber. I told him I was a dude and laughed at him and he disappeared.

That’s it. My wife has never been cat called at by pervs. Not one time.

So…

Imagine thinking woman NEVER get
harassed in WoW because its never happened to them :clown_face:

I don’t care about furries just don’t associate anyone who plays a cool animal race as a part of their group or interests

Ostracized because it’s weird, extremely weird

I hope she sees this bro.

…who? Your gf or w/e?

Hey man, I get that you’re a bit of an orbiter. Maybe a little upset that I mocked your diaperfur fandom, but I’m just not interested in you. I’m sure there is somebody out there who will love you and the sweat drenched XXXL fursuit you wear through out the day.

Lol

Don’t like people picking on furries in a video game?

Pro tip: don’t announce what you do in the bedroom to the public, or even small groups. No one wants to know what you do there anyways.

If you say so, Diaperfur.

Stay mad XD

The best part about this is, I am not even saying there are no weirdo furrys, I am saying spazzy WoW players that get tilted at them have just as much garbage in there ranks and this dude has a full on melt down.
