Furry Megathread - Furry Things Here

[Kochieboy]

I can strongly disagree here with that statement, especially considering more than half of the works on FurAffinity are non-loveual in nature.  Most of the provocative images you probably see is what you're looking for anyways.  Please take two steps back and do some fact checks.Considering you have such a rancid history, you're in no position to make a condescending remark towards sociology.

I find this to be quite ironic, seeing as you call furries loveual deviants and cancer (cancer being the over loveualized group).

I'm not saying anything condescending about sociology.

what?? if someone has a special interest for feet, that doesn't mean that feet are only love objects, lol

How did I know you were going to respond.

It's funny really...

This is your only "citation"?
I've said this before: furries don't like love, humans in general do. There's nothing inherit about cartoon animals that leads them to be loveualized more than anything else, it's just a result of the basic biological need for love. This interest gets applied to everything, yes, including furry. Every special interest within furry can be found outside of it as well.

Go browse FA and compare the number of mature submissions to the number of general audience submissions. On the first page, I found 9 (of 36) adult submissions. So much for majority.

The only reason furry is viewed as more loveual than, say, anime, is because of media representation. News networks get money by getting people to watch their stuff, and a couple "weirdos" dressed as animals looking at naked animals get a much stronger reaction (and therefore more views and more money) then a couple people dressed as (human) characters looking at research of humans.

I read an article written by a furry hater who attended a convention, expecting to find a bunch of nasty stuff to write about. What she found instead, she described as "as innocent as a catholic school girl Halloween party "

I posted something and someone responded! How did I know!?
Uhhhhh...maybe because this is a public forum that anyone can post on?
Is this your only response?

It is still loveual though, what can't you guys understand about that. Plus there are other sites than FA to base your stats off.

Night fox tries to get into any argument he can find, often making some pretty odd remarks, dunno if you've been lurking much.

It's not loveual though, what can't you understand about that? And if you're using a site like e621 to base your stats off of, you're doing it severely wrong. e6 wasn't inherently made for research but it's notorious for mainly hosting such content. On the flipside, FurAffinity is basically the de-facto website for the furry fandom as a whole, and is an accurate representation of the community. Similarly, I'd say Weasyl would also be a good vantage point for judgement.

Your clouded judgement comes from the fact that, in general, the furry fandom is absolutely loving huge. And, proportionately, the loveual side that every fandom carries will appear larger as well, especially when you have humanoid characters that are able to be loveualized, which is the reason why this loveual side of fandoms isn't nearly as prevalent in, for example, the minecraft fandom.

Really, though, if you look at it from an objective point of view and not from what this thread, tumblr, or the media may make it seem like, the furry fandom is not a loveual fandom. To be a furry means to have an interest in anthropomorphic animals, and to associate yourself with those who feel the same. Nothing more, nothing less.

Or you could just, you know, actually address his post instead of just blowing him off just because of who he is and what he's done in the past.

It just seems ironic that you guys base your stats off of FA when you tell me not to base my stats off of single sites.

Sorry if I don't like the fact that he's been picking fights all over the forums...

[Flatflyer]

guys pls stop fighting

I'm not saying it isn't, I'm saying the loveual aspect isn't bigger than that of other comparable fandoms

Plus there are other sites than FA to base your stats off.

FA is the most used, and therefore has the most content.
It's also the easiest to tell the rating of a picture without actually looking at the full picture (color coded borders around the thumbnail)

There's nothing odd about what he said though

I think the amount of Starfox smut and r34 offsets the results too much and I DEMAND A RETRAIL

A re(t?)rail would be nice, it's pretty much impossible to deal with Kochieboy's endless density.

Reasonable enough...

I just find this hard to believe that you could get reasonable evidence from ONE source.

When did this happen?

King is sating that FA speaks for all of the furry stats

There's nothing odd about what he said though

Not atm, but in other situations he has.

A re(t?)rail would be nice, it's pretty much impossible to deal with Kochieboy's endless density.

no wonder his arguments keep sucking people in like a black hole
