To blog like a beast! :)

Because the furry culture as most people know it, is a pornographic culture where people dress up like animals and engage in sexual activity with one or more other furries.

The main thing is that the furry culture is a very small minority because people don't understand why someone would want to be some kind of human-animal halfbreed. I, personally, don't get it either. It's too far out for my taste. Besides, when I see furry characters, I can't help but think of all that cheesy cartoon porn that pops up so randomly in my google image searches.

*shudder*

Hmm, well that's far from the case.. So people are mis-informed. That's like Saying Anime is all about Hentai, which we all know isn't true. (Or most of us)

It's not all about sexual activity, but a lot more. The problem is, those people who do view it as sexual give it a bad name for the rest. Most of that cartoon porn that pops up isn't Furre though, most of it is Anime. Which, to be honest, has a lot more porn made into it then the Furre community. It does seem like a small group of people, but in actuality it's not as small as you think. Most Furres aren't Human-animal halfbreeds, but rather, Anthro versions of animals. Which, technically, isn't anything to do with humans.. Rather just more intellegent version of their Feral counterpart.

Thanks Meq, any other comments? :)

The only RP- anything you will find is created by a small group, for the entertainment of said small group. The said small group will eagerly accept others of like mind, but this is on a server by server basis.

Roleplayers in these games hardly ever assume the character, lack of immersion.

Everything is SEX. Either for getting it, watching it or flying a banner saying I ain't having it.

The interest in Animalism, could be subjective. Playboy's Bunnys, Flamingo girls of yester years, kitten lounge, heck leopard prints RAWR that makes me, hard to think there are so many of em =)

Hiding behind the guise of something else. Anxiety is epidemic, and a frollic in the hay as someone not you, may or may not require drugs/medication. There are way to many sexy folks out there that need a good railing.

As far as hentai and furre? with 30 bucks worth of facepaint and rummage sale cloth you can make a doable furre.

Hentai... well the 3" hole saw is 39.99 at home depot, now find some 3" Eyes ....

lastly I will not support either or, infact I don't partake in either but off the record.

Here kitty kitty.

Seriously i have a question on the anime vs furrie thing. Now was the first anime Hentai? And the same question Were the first firries sex related? Most think yes I dont know, if it did start purely for this reason this is why peoples persecpion of the "hobby what have you". I just think in the majoritys mind it is about sex and even if it is not it is for a smalll minority. The fact is the Majority is not thriled about it many do in fact use it for sex and that is the problem the. Therefore i look at it as a sex game just like any other. There are plenty of regular mmos that have half human half animal creatures that have nothing to do with sexual activitys that is all. in all it is a small minority and like movies the way of the videogame is now to get the largest audience possible and furries are not a large community. I think it is people that are into furries and say its not about sex are just fooling themselves.

You know, if furries were just another kitch like anime nerds or whatever I don't think people would be too hard on them.  But as someone pointed out above, everything on Furcadia, every dang thing, is about sex.  It's the same with the social servers on NWN2, I look on them with the same disdain.

Sure you're going to find nice people there, but look at it this way.  Furcadia is a mmorpg like a bar is a mmorpg.  Sure there's a lot of people there, and sure they have a good time, but in the end the only thing it amounts to is sex.  Wanting it, having it, soliciting it, or waving a flag saying you wont have it.

I don't go to bars anymore for that very reason.  Why do you go to Furcadia?

Hey Fazart. I'm happy to see Furc still around.. I remember playing it way back when I was younger and it had Owslas and the Sanctuary. I was on/off it for about 3 years. I think Mequellios is right.. that's the general mis-informed opinion, that people who play games like Furcadia play it for one reason. When my friends talk about Furres or anything "Furry" now, they're really talking about people who like to "dress up and yiff", or to mock those who create their fursonas. And with Furcadia, well it's sort of like Second Life. I know tons of people who refuse to get into that because they beleive it's all about cybering.

I don't know what Furcadia's like today or how it's changed, but way back when I was playing it was one of the friendliest and most imaginative communities I'd been part of. The roleplay (NOT sexual) was amazing, the people.. I really miss all that. I remember poems read at the Bardic Circle, just chatting for hours with my friends at New Haven or meo bar .. the Sanctuary.. chatting with the Owslas.. Keezy, Niko and all them.. seeing Talz, Sancti, Shadowborn, Emerald. Such memorable people and characters. I miss all of them. I think it's a shame that people only see one side of it. =(

This is what is bad with the furry culture. They promote illegal acts aka sex with animals. They biggest dream is to be an animal, and they get hrmm..how to say this delicately...a rush engaging in animalistic acts. In short, furrys are pervs that should be avoided like the plague. They are no better than pedophiles, rapists and all the other lowlifes we are so unfortunate to share the same planet with.

I guess I gotta agree with slask777, they promote illegal acts. Look at WoW, or Everquest, not one strange inhuman critter for anyone to see and get funny ideas for, right?  Ahh, but then..it comes down to the individual, and I guarantee ya, not everyone signs up for an account on Furrcadia solely for sex. Furre's are simply another facet of gamer avatars, just like orcs, elves, gnomes, dwarves, lizards.....I'm sure I missed a couple dozen. That said, don't judge a genre unless it's a plain as day, the fine line between playboy and teenage mutant ninja turles exists. If ya ask me, I'm up for playing a squirrel with a sword as opposed to the same ol' done and redone dwarf.

Saying that furries are all porno is a generalization that should be avoided at all costs, lest you hate someone by asosiation and not for true pravocation.

I've never considered myself a furrie I've never dressed up as an animal but what I have and do do is play hybrid human/animal races in games, some consider that furriedom right there. I will say this if furries are a cutlure based on sex then so is anime, anime has henti and all other forms of sexual theamed shows, books, comics and the like yet they don't recive nearly as much flack as furries.

So with that said don't bunch every furrie fan into one large group, its unfair and its the same as saying race-a always does action-c... and anywhere you do that they'd call it racist.

Good points everyone. Now, let's think about it. For all of you opposed to the "Furre" Scene, have you ever actually played Furcadia? Have you ever been in it, because unless you are, I don't think you can judge it. I'm not into "Yiffing", yet I play Furcadia, and find amazing Roleplay. Some of you were stating that Furcadia (and Furres in general) are ALL about the Sexual aspect.. Well, if that's the case, as stated, so is Anime, and so are all those Pornos..

It's not promoting illegal acts at all, people who "Yiff" aren't "Having Sex with Animals". This coming forward to produce two good facts. 1) Those who do think about Sexual interaction with Animals will not do it, because they get satisfaction from their Yiffing. (Because to be honest, it does happen.. I'm aware of this, but it's not the ONLY thing)
2) Both of the characters are playing Furres, therefore it's more-so like two animals having Sex, rather then a human violating an animal.

Now you say that it's promoting illegal acts.. Well, then so are farmers who breed different animals with eachother.. It's basically the same, isn't it?

Now, let's think about this.. Furcadia is a HUGE community, and if you go into Imaginarium. (One of Furcadias main maps) You will find all the lovely, Non-Yiff, Roleplays. If you would like I could go into these and copy and paste some chunks of roleplay.. ;)

See, you're mis-informed, and people should try it before they buy it.. Meaning that, don't believe something unless you know it to be true yourself. Don't judge a whole community on one or two people.

Fazart, you see the big difference here is...anime is a culture centered around Japanese stylized animation.

Furry culture is centered around people pretending to be animals having sex.

The two do not correlesce.  And yes, everything about Furcadia is about animal sex.  The very fact that you *have* to point out that there is some non-yiffing roleplaying speaks volumes to this.

Tsukie, I'm sorry to say that I don't think you know a lot about this... No offence, but you seem to speak before you look into things, which isn't good. You see, the culture isn't centered around people pretending to be animals and having sex.. This is what you think because you saw one TV show that said this, or because you listen to your friends who are also obviously wrong. Furre is a culture centered around the playing of a non-human character, relating to an animal. Usually an Anthro animal. It has NOTHING to do with Sex. You're so funny, you say everything about Furcadia is about "Animal sex" Yet I don't think you've ever actually logged in, have you? You don't see what goes on, so how do you know? I didn't point out there is some non-yiffing roleplay, I pointed out that despite popular belief, not all Roleplay is furre sex my friend..

Please, get your facts straight.. :)

Enters room ... backs slowly out of room ...

because a girl needs to shave her legs.. arms and other areas... it just looks nasty if a girl has more hair then a guy .....  if you want to pretend to be a dog.. and touch your pets go for it.. but keep it in your own bedroom alright.. no one wants to see a guy dressed as a dog walking down teh street sniffy firehydrents or lampposts.. or barking at cars..

because EVERY Furrie I have ever known has been a yiffing weirdo. Humans were ment to procreate with humans. Who says so? God, all gods. If you are like me and don't care much for god then Charles Darwin and about every other scientist ever. Plus hairy women creep me out. I mean... hairy legs on a girl with a snout... thats so attractive. I like your MMO, it keeps the furry creps out of the real MMO's.

LMAO Wow, this discussion just turned horrible in a matter of two posts. Ich and Mrch.. You two are hilarious.  First off, you're both NEVER going to get a woman.. So you mise well just get that thought out of your head.  Ich, I could say the same thing. "If you want to dress as a Naruto weirdo with special HIYA POWERS, go right ahead but I don't want to see it."

You people are so off base on the Furre culture that it's not even funny...

Well Mr, Black Bears are supposed to procreate with Black Bears, same with Grizz, Poler.. But lately they've been interbreeding.. :O Whatcha say bout that? ;)

You two are soo far off, can I please get the more intellegent debatees back here please.

Fazart, I hope you understood that bringing up the word Furry in a public place was asking for the trolls to come out, soon enough.

I classify myself as a furre, as it were, but I refuse to wear a suit. I don't buy plush toys by the dozen but I will put a few novelty statuettes of dragons and knights here or there because like most people on the web, I'm a geek with a deep nerd heritage (since Kindergarten).  I do because I'm a fan of the art form and while I don't look at the side most people are afraid of, I'm tolerant of it and all it's form.  Besides, I used to go on Furcadia quite a bit back in the day and made a lot of really nice friends who were a piece apart from what most see as insanity.

It's like a study in having an open mind, to me. The whole "Furre Culture" as you put it feels like it's either the first step or last step to seeing how people can handle the misunderstood. A thesis, at least. It's the same for a lot of things, but when you see Anime it's easily distinct from it's dark counterpart, Hentai. As far as I've been through the ordeal, it's not always so with the anthropomorphic art form.

For the typical comments on "It's beastiality" - no one in every culture or social group can be accounted for. There are freaky people out there, kids. A cannibal looks like any other person before they go hunting and a quiet man can look priestly before he snaps. Those of us who care don't really broadcast that we're furres, and when we defend ourselves no one ever really takes that "We're not all like that" comment seriously.

There's a chance I won't be back to respond so I'm posting this on good faith as just so, my comment and not a discussionary script.

I know what you mean Meph. I've noticed that people tend to flame on the subject of Furre, alas as a new Furcadia Game Correspondent, they can expect to see more of that type of thing on MMORPG.

Most Furres do not wear suits, or go to Furre conventions, and they don't "pretend to be dogs having sex". It's more-so about getting away from the real world, like all games, getting away from the problems of humanity, and living as an animal in a sense.

People don't see, It's about more. It's about fantasy. Like when you where a kid and you used to imagine what it would be like to be a bird soaring high or a wolf stalking it's prey. Its about wanting to indulge in the simple lifes of an animal you relate too and get away from human drama. People pick a Fursona based on what animal they're most, or least, like.

Also Meph, you say that Anime is easily distinct from it's "dark counterpart" Yet, I don't see it. Have you seen the outfits that most Anime characters are wearing, they mise well be naked. (As well as, in many Japanese anime, they are at points.)
