I'm going to throw in my opinion here. The only reason people don't like furries is that it's new and confusing. Homosexuality was illegal for quite some time because nobody understood it and nobody wanted to. These days you couldn't illegalise a fetish, but people will never accept it until they start to understand it more, but again nobody wants to. Just give it time, though God only knows how much. For myself, I have no problem with it. Freedom of expression and all that shit.
I hope I am a good enough writer that some day dwarves kill me and drink my blood for wisdom.

No, i covered my ass pretty well with the 'some things' part, like i said, not all furries take things to far, just when you have some people writing stories about foxes giving dragons blowjobs and pornographic images of animal hybrids, etc etc etc

You didn't cover anything worth a fuck. All you've done is try to label another set of porn as evil with no basis. This is no worse than hentai or any other porn for that matter. It just happens to be with anthroized animals instead of humans. Not much of a difference really when you look at it objectively without any stigma attached to it. Perhaps learn a few things before casting your judgment so heavily.

Am I really that bad of a person because I fap to furry porn or participate in ero-furry RPs? No. I am not. So don't judge what you don't know.

Asshole.

Those are what im referring to. People who just like drawing non-pornographic animal hybrids, play RP's online about being animal hybrids, maybe make animal sounds and/or even who dress up in furry costumes and other 'strange but harmless' things are not included as there is really nothing wrong(although personally i would never do those things myself) with people like that.


Having known many 'clean' and 'yiffy' furries, I'll point this out; Discounting obvious bad shit, like furries who engage in bestiality or pedophilia (not that you'd have to be a furry to do either), the absolute worst a group of consenting adults can do fetish wise is just appear kind of pathetic, just embarrass themselves. Also, many who engage in kinkier things in furry have a friendly, helpful environment to do so in. A surprising amount are otherwise functioning and/or 'normal' people. I know people who fuck in fursuit, I know people who fuck in latex fursuits. I know people who jerk off to Godzilla, I know people who roleplay that they eat and digest someone else. I know a lot... a LOOOOOOOT of people with animal dick shaped dildos... and somehow deep down...

They don't scare me anywhere near as much as someone who is fervently furry, hardcore into anthro animals through and through, but doesn't have a sexual explanation to why they're THAT goddamn nutty over cartoon critters.

Think about that.

Settle down beowulf.

Its like you come in here just looking for some reason to go all agro. You keep putting words in my mouth and getting all up in arms over them.
(("lol, i think furries are strange, also some of the stuff i have seen/heard relating to furries is messed up"
"WHAT!? YOU HATE ALL FURRIES AND THINK THEY ARE EVIL AND EVERY LAST ONE DESERVES A HORRIBLE PAINFUL DEATH!!?!?!?! YOU ASSHOLE DICK HEAD STFU!!!!!!!!!!!"))

Since when did i say anything about evil? Since when did i say people were bad because they were furries? even if they do the things i consider to be messed up?


Dispite how much you are trying to make it seem like i im saying otherwise, what i have said from the very beginning here is:

I dont really have anything against furries, seen as i only know 1 in real life, who i dont really count as a proper furry.

Like i said, im sure not all furries are messed up, some are just odd individuals


But Furry porn, messed up
Beastiality, messed up
zoopillia(since apparently they are different), messed up
plushopillia, messed up
other sexual type things relating to animals, such as writing erotic animal stories, messed up


And it is worse then other types of porn, cause its an animal, having sexual thoughts about animals is weird, even if they have a womans body. Atleast hentai is still about humans (although, i think anime porn is also fairly odd). And any of that other bizarre fetish porn is also strange and/or messed up.

You are free to do/be what you want. I honestly dont care, doesn't mean that i wont think you are strange, just like i think many other social minorities are strange.
Most people are furries to be different/strange, when you leave the 'area of normality' it will be noted. Doesn't mean i think you are bad, or evil, or anything stupid like that, it means exactly what i said, abnormal, not the norm, different to the majority.

Now stop trying to twist my words just cause you are looking for someone to flame, its only making you come across as an asshole right now.

I honestly think that what goes on in the bedroom is nobody else's business lest you want to share it. My only question is WHY would someone want to dress up in a fur suit to have sex?

No.

No. You brought it on yourself by being an uneducated dolt.

Since when did i say anything about evil? Since when did i say people were bad because they were furries? even if they do the things i consider to be messed up?

You don't need to say it to imply it. Idiot.

But Furry porn, messed up

It's hentai with something else. Who fucking cares?

Beastiality, messed up

And hilarious.

zoopillia(since apparently they are different), messed up

What do you care? Research it before casting judgment.

plushopillia, messed up

So? It's a sexual kink like latex. I'm sorta one myself so you know,

other sexual type things relating to animals, such as writing erotic animal stories, messed up

That depends on the story itself.

And it is worse then other types of porn, cause its an animal, having sexual thoughts about animals is weird, even if they have a womans body. Atleast hentai is still about humans (although, i think anime porn is also fairly odd). And any of that other bizarre fetish porn is also strange and/or messed up.

You are a horribly repressed individual. I don't need to be a psychologist to see that. :p

Most people are furries to be different/strange

Not really. It's about what know is inside, and we know we're not drones like everyone else. If you're content with being a societal drone, go for it. I'm not gonna stop you. Be lame and be proud of it!

when you leave the 'area of normality' it will be noted.

Does that matter? I still provide the same function I did before. I'm still a repair tech, web developer, bowler and modder. Nothing changed about that and nothing will because I'm a little different on the inside.

not the norm, different to the majority.

A thousand pardons for not being a drone.

Now stop trying to twist my words just cause you are looking for someone to flame, its only making you come across as an asshole right now.

Then stop being such a close minded, moronic dolt. If you'd do that, I'd have no reason to be annoyed.

My only question is WHY would someone want to dress up in a fur suit to have sex?

It's a kink. And it can be quite a lot of fun. Now if I could get a suit that would fit me... :)

Well, if that's what turns you on, so be it. Just keep it out of our faces :p. I honestly don't like erotic images of any type thrown at my face at anyone's discretion but my own.

Oh, I'm sorry Beo, you obviously know more about me and what im thinking then i do, thats quite a talent you have there.

Almost as amazing as your talent for ignoring when i say i dont have a problem with furries...
:p

Edit: And segway, you told me one of the reasons you are now a furry is to weird people out :)
(Does that even make sense? 'weird people out', i guess it does, its just a less severe form of 'freak people out', well, that's what i mean by it anyway)

And i wouldn't say its a heated discussion, Beo's the only one getting heated up, i have remained rather emotionally detached myself.

SWG, stop being so vanilla. Sexual preferences are often hilarious, and all the stuff in question here is too. Think about it for a moment. Beowulf here likes dressing up as an animal to have sex. How is that any weirder than people dressing up in leather and gimp masks to have sex? Sexual preferences are just that, and there's nothing to be gained by straightforward old-fashioned missionary sex, and plenty to be gained by spicing it up in whatever way you think most entertaining/thrilling/arousing.

Look at it another way: furries like Beowulf who appreciate the sexual side of things are probably looking for more of a thrill in the bedroom and happen to think dressing up as animals is the way to go about it. Other people, when looking for a thrill, go base-jumping, or to shooting ranges, or any number of things. It's just one more way to enjoy yourself.

Finally, I have to agree with Fen again. Your posts, while maybe not overtly aggressive, did contain a strong underlying element of disgust and contempt. Maybe you didn't mean it like that, but in an environment like this, free from tone of voice and body language, you have to be more careful about how you phrase things.
I hope I am a good enough writer that some day dwarves kill me and drink my blood for wisdom.

Roleplay: keeping it exciting in the bedroom since the introduction of the condom.

I agree with CIL here, no one should pass judgement on private areas of peoples' lives (no pun intended :p)

I only go with what I'm given, Slick.

:p

Yes, because calling us 'strange individuals' is so very unproblematic.

Edit: And segway, you told me one of the reasons you are now a furry is to weird people out :)

Shock factor aside, that's not likely the reason. It could be but I really doubt it.
Besides, it's not hard to weird people out these days. So many people, not just you SWG, are such horribly repressed individuals that anything that's not 'normal' is automatically strange. Some people find me odd because I'm agnostic. Hell, all I need to do is say I'm bi and that's enough to have the same effect.

And i wouldn't say its a heated discussion, Beo's the only one getting heated up, i have remained rather emotionally detached myself.

I'm not heated. You haven't seen me heated.

When did i say dressing in an animal suit for sex was any less weird then leather and gimp masks?
You are also putting words in my mouth, and assuming am im implying things, when everything i am implying has been expressed directly in writing, you are reading to much into things trying to find hidden meanings that aren't there.

No where have i used text implying any disgust/contempt for furries, the closest to that would be me saying:

But some stuff to do with furries that i have heard about/seen takes it beyond strange into just... well, not right.

my opinion that some things i have seen/heard about relating to furries are just messed up is right.


Messed up. Just cause i think Some Things Some furries do is messed doesn't mean i have a deep seeded hatred for them and think they are evil and am disgusted by them and feel they are less because of it.

Weird does not mean bad, do you think i would call myself 'some_badGuy'? weird can be cool, weird can just be odd, just cause i think something is weird/bizzare/strange/odd even messed up, doesn't mean i dont like someone because of it, doesn't even mean i dont like it. It just means exactly what i have said in that i think it is unusual and i personally might not do that sort of thing.

I even went to the trouble to say i have nothing against furries, why would i bother saying that if i was disgusted by them, and held them in contempt? if i felt that way i would say i think furries are gross or retarded or stupid or something
Hell, segway, one of my best friends, is a furry!


So sorry if i didn't put a little smily face, or a little tag saying what expression to read the text in, after everything i said, i didn't think i needed to do so when having a neutal disscussion on a topic which i honestly care little about.

I mean, seriously, Woop de-do, some people are weird-o's, good for them, im fine with (surprisingly, considering my account name) being fairly normal. I dont act like a complete oddball, doesn't mean im a mindless drone or repressed individual, I admit, i perfer to not make myself a target for less tolerant people. I am fine with acting like most other people, i dont have to go out on some wild tangent to feel special, doesn't make you mindless just because you aren't part of a out-there minority group. Maybe i dont really see why you would do 'that sort of stuff' that that group does
(like emos wearing make-up and cutting themselves, or big time anime fans dressing up as/acting like their favourite characters and otherwise acting oddly, or yes, even furries being into anthro-humans and all the things associated with that)

And beo, do you know what plushophillia is? Its more then just a sexual kink like latex, plushopillia is where you have sexual feelings towards stuffed animals... so are you sure you are sorta one?

But gesh, im begining to regret ever posting in this topic. I came here to have a normal conversation, in regards to segways new 'furrism'(?), then get accused of implying this and that and being flamed for it and called uneducated, close minded, asshole, idiot, moron, dolt, etc etc etc and being made out like i hate furries and im getting what i deserve.

Its acctually making me pretty sad...
I started feeling sorta sad for Beo that he comes in here and feels he needs to insult and personally attack me trying to defend something he believes in, when i have not even tried to be hostile or mean in any way, nor even opposed it in any way.
But now its just making me feel bad. Well beo, good work, you win... whatever you were trying to do
(Actualy, what were you trying to do? I cant see what you were trying to achieve by attacking me...)

EDIT for Beo's Reply:
So you think furries are not strange?
That they are the social norm amoung the worlds population?
no? then they are strange, weird, different... they are not aligned with what is considered 'normality'

Thats like getting angry at someone for calling you white when your skin colour is white.

You seem to still be under the impression that strange and bad mean the same thing. They do not, stop confusing the two...

Alrighty then. I'm staying out of the flame war that has two people pretending they aren't flaming each other. What it amounts to right now is "I'm not insulting you, I'm fine with what you're doing" and "No! I'm the one who's not insulting anyone!" :p

Ravnin's opinions on kinkyness:

1) Sex dressed as an animal (or anything else) is fine, although it is not my personal preference.
2) Sex with an animal is fine, so long as you kill it first and eat it later. There's no sense in wasting meat or torturing animals.
3) Sex with a corpse is fine, so long as you have permission from the family of the deceased.
4) Incest is fine as long as it is consensual and protected.
5) Choking, whipping, and cutting are fine, so long as it is truly consensual and appropriate legal precautions are taken. I don't like being called out to jury duty for a guy who got a little too excited and a girl who didn't stop him.
6) Exhibitionism is fine so long as it is confined to posted areas. Random exhibitionism can offend people forced to be voyeurs.
7) Voyeurism is alright, so long as those watched are exhibitionists.
8) Transgender...well, my city elected the first openly transgender mayor in the nation this year, so that about sums up my thoughts.
9) Pedophiles should read erotic stories and get some kiddie hentai, not act on their desires.
10) Raping is wrong.

I'm not a necrophiliac any more than I'm a furry, except that, unlike furriness, I might actually try sex with a corpse, were it socially acceptable, which it's not. I may be a tad dimwitted at times, but I'm not that stupid.
