Author Topic: What would YOU like to happen to the furry community?  (Read 1652 times)

I find furries more tolerable than the anti-furs tbh




I do draw a lot of anthropomorphic characters, but I do draw humans as well. I don't draw for any loveual pleasures or furry fantasies, but more only for storytelling and other personal hobbies. I ask everyone, does this automatically make me a furry since I also draw anthropomorphic creatures despite drawing humans too? Because big animation companies like Disney and DreamWorks also have their set of anthropomorphic characters and their history of anthropomorphism.




government subsidized fursuits

furries in the military
working class furries


I think that furries should be left alone as long as they do their garbage in private.

Public furries should be executed in like manner.

There's really no 100% solid answer but I think the best answer comes down to the difference between "liking something" and "being a fan of something"
"Liking" meaning "oh that's kinda neat"
And "being a fan" meaning "please bring me more of that"

I make the comparison to anime fandom a lot so I'll do it here as well. One of my friend does anime nights at his place where he invites a bunch of friends over and we all watch an anime together. I'd say I like the animes, they have good characters and plots and whatnot, and I enjoy hanging out with everyone. But hanging out is my primary interest for going, and I'm not leaving thinking "oh I really like x character I need to find some nice fan art of him" or "what anime should I watch next" or the like. So I wouldn't say I'm part of that fandom

Big animation studios use animal characters mostly because animal characters appeal to kids, and their movies are mostly kids movies

Also you don't need to have a loveual interest

it seriously doesnt matter at all. ppl that try to push ppl into """"""the furry fandom"""""" are handicapped. miss me with that stuff, i just draw humans, robots, and monsters (what you would call furries) in designer clothing and ppl try to shove me under the furry tag.
ive had artists in later years completely dismiss me, my art, and my request for critique because some of my drawings are "furry". they then have a tantrum about how companies dont like furry art instead of actually talking about THE art.
