Has sex in the fandom become more important the anthros?

[Van Ishikawa]

Sex can add an interesting addition to a story. The problem is with most furry stories or comics it feels shoehorned in just so they can go "HEY, THIS COMIC HAS TITS AND DOG DICKS!", kinda like when horror or actions movies throw a softcore sex scene in just 'cause.

Also I agree with you 100% on the first part, which is probably why I do look at it from time to time. :V

Quality of furry writing is a whole 'nother thing that needs to be addressed, and what I think is destroying the fandom more than sexual obsession :V

Once again I find myself agreeing with you. I can't say I've found a furry comic that had really good writing... even the ones people recommend me.

Yeah most comics are terrible only a few have a decent plot.
The best one I've seen is housepets.

nahhh but it has gotten pretty sexual

It's sad when a furry can't even get in front of a newscamera without everyone worrying about them talking about sex.

well that's what they get asked questions about. You don't answer a math question with history :V

Furry has become a fetish.

I'd argue against that but then I noticed I have like 2000 yiff pics in my super secret stash. T__T

In my "ideal" furry fandom, it would be a community about appreciating anthro animals in a variety of settings ranging from fun/goofy stuff as well as darker and more mature settings. If the porn and sex wasn't as prevalent I wouldn't care about it, but when it gets to the point that you have furries asking you to typefuck them within the first 5 minutes of introducing themselves, you know there is a problem.

You and I should build a time machine and travel back to the time period when furry fandom wasn't filled with as much sickfuckery.

Housepets is pretty alright, but being a fan of RickGriffin's work I wish he would maybe invest a little less time in it, I miss the days when he would update his FA page with new artworks pretty frequently, seeing as I've loved his stuff since before Housepets was around.

 

[Issashu]

Don't know about destroying, but it was inevitable There are people who watch porn and there are people, who don't. Don't see the fandom being any different in that respect. You either watch yiff or don't

About what you see in the fandom pages is a matter of personal filters. From what I see here in the forums, there are plenty of people, who don't search just for yiff (even if there are plenty of jokes about it ). On the other hand, I am pretty new here, so...

It's cause he isn't a art major, but a english major.

Um... if it weren't for the anthros, it wouldn't be furry. If it was just about sex, there wouldn't be a "Den", it wouldn't be "FurAffinity", and we wouldn't be "Furries".

Sure, sex may play a role in a lot that goes on, but it isn't the identity of the fandom.

That's not what I was asking, I was asking if the sexual aspect has become more important than the characters, essentially do you think the fandom could survive as we know it without the porn.

 

[Slyck]

To the OP: 'Become' implies that the sex was less important than clean anthro art in the past. Explain.

Van's was but he changed it.

Ahhh, you wise grasshoppa.

 

[Summercat]

...o you think the fandom could survive as we know it without the porn.

Yes.

Altered slightly, but yes.

 

[Attaman]

The fandom as we know it? Fuck no. I think it'd survive, but it'd tear a chunk of the userbase away by default and more slowly push away others.

If you remove the "revel in sexuality" as part of the "sex more important", an even larger chunk drops out.

 

[Verin Asper]

Yes.

Altered slightly, but yes.

no cause they will still rage finding out those that went away are still associated with em :V

 

[Zrcalo]

it's all about the sex, man.

 

[CrazyLee]

What the hell are you talking about?

It's been all about sex since the beginning.

 

[Meegz0]

For me, sex is not more important then being an anthro.

But to many many people it obviously the oposite.

So I'll say yes for the majority

 

[coba]

anthro is the main part of the furry nation, but sex or yiff is just a side topic to the FAF, but really the fandom has always been more about anthro characters. (no dought about it) but we all have different opinions.

 

[Slyck]

Not really what I wanted to see...

By injecting logic into this, if H+K got grossed by it, I can get off to it.
Lets seeee...

EDIT: You changed your avatar. Thanks. XD
