What bothers you the most about the furry fandom?

[PriestRevan]

thats kinda like saying if its fake guys im lusting after, then im not gay

A friend of mine lives by that logic.

the thing is that if u start lusting after art of things, the images sit in your brain and can (maybe not always) but can lead to acting those things out in real life.

What the mind conceives, the body does.

Its why some, but not all furs who like furry porn at least contemplate having sex with animals and some have.

Wuh?

If liking drawn child porn makes someone a kiddydiddler, does liking drawn snuff make them a murderer?

Or are we just punishing thoughtcrime here?

I also hate it when furries type in a lame font colour.

It makes the words POP; adds some personal charisma to it. I think it's much better than all of those terrible messages written in default color. Where's the fun in that?

Besides, we should not discriminate words based on the color of their ink.

EDIT: I think I know where you are going with this. The thing is though that often having the drawn version can suffice and be enough to prevent a person to move to the next level. There is a whole other side of the coin.

Eh totally disagree with this statement.....its not like the drawn version is a methodone and can keep u from going to heroin.

The mind is a visual thing, the things that we put into is, and our decisions about them largely determines who we are. Its why propoganda is so effective in controlling people.

The more you look at certain types of porn, and decide you like them, or enjoy yourself with them (which vasty reinforces the pleasure association with it) the more you crave it. It doesnt make you crave that image less. And really nonviolent werewolves/lionmen etc turn me on. If they existed I'd be all over that.

What makes you think images/art of yaoi or even cub porn do not do the same?

Again its like saying pictures of naked women satisfy a hetero, and then they dont have to seek the real thing.

And priestraven, your friend who likes homo pics....hes a gay... =D

Did you stop to think out this post?

The mind is more than a visual thing. It is also a thinking thing. You really need to give humanity more credit. Just because we see propaganda does not mean we auto-believe it. We have the ability to think, question, ponder, and decide.

When it comes to porn, sometimes it does act in a way to prevent a person from taking the next step. That's the way it is. With self control it can be used to control feelings or urges the way I understand looking into it.

You do realize that some people successfully use porn as a substitute for the real thing? Sometimes people will look at porn, and they stick to it and even if they could go out and seek pleasure for a human they don't.

As for PreistRevan? He's no friend of mine. I'd rather not comment further on him.

Foxes? :<

Though I chose multiple options, it's the porn that bothers me most.

Mainly a fetish I believe is displayed as two words...

water sports.

I judge a person by their actions than to their words, preferably.

Hypothetically, yes, it serves to make the words stand out, no more. Really though, all it does is say "hay gaiz these words are colored." Bright colors should be reserved for things that don't get all the attention they deserve, and since most people read every post in a thread worth its salt anyway, changing the color of a post in a thread worth its salt serves no purpose than to say "hay gaiz these words are colored."

Anyways, what bothers me most about the fandom is the way everyone seems to dislike humans :S What's wrong with them any more than lizards, or birds, or leopards? They term "furry" seems to encompass fur, feathers and scales, so why not skin?

Maybe because the whole point of the fandom is to make animals more human? You can't make a human more human.

I never said anything about my friend liking homo pics. You assumed that.

I just said he finds furry males to be "kind of" attractive, but feels no attraction to real life males.

As for PreistRevan? He's no friend of mine. I'd rather not comment further on him.

He wasn't talking to you about me woman.

 

[Ro4dk1ll]

Well you obviously fantasize about dicking opossums, then.

On a level of wrongness, Anthropomorphic creatures are waaayyyyy less wrong to fantasize about than underage, non-consenting children :1
And just a little FYI, I don't draw porn. I was talking about people who draw porn. You can't really argue against that because when they're drawing it, what they're doing is transferring their fantasies into picture form.

I'm not asking everyone to give the people who draw cub yiff a load of shit, though. But they'll never get my respect. Ever.

So, you only dislike cub yiff. Regular, non-yiffy cubs are okay with you?

Perfectly fine. The people who draw pictures of people dicking children, or children dicking eachother... They're the ones I can't stand.

What about those people who get requested/commissioned to draw cubs? I mean, technically, I've drawn younger kids (like, 11) having "sex", but only 'cause it was a request.

Doesn't make the porn any less disturbing, but I won't hate you for it.

But, you said:

that would also include all people who draw cubs/kids if requested or commissioned it.

Whoah, hey, it's the taking everything I say super literal for a cheap shot tactic. I totally wasn't expecting that :1
Fine, I'll fucking hate you for it then. Happy?

I hate cub porn itself, and the people who fill their galleries with it and find it hot. It's fucking disturbing.
Now you're going to turn around and say Anthro porn is disturbing, right?
The difference is that the subjects in most Anthro porn aren't representations of underage, non-consenting, defenseless children.
It represents breaking a horrible moral boundary.
I guess you're going to take a shot at all the other moral boundaries I haven't bothered to mention now, then?

Well, since a large portion of the fandom is somewhere between 14-19 years old, I'd argue we have plenty of "underage" fursona's making love.

But, yes, you're talking about children. I don't really care for it all that much myself either, but, I must admit... I am jealous of how well Arcc can draw.

There's a pretty big difference between 4-12 year olds and teenagers :1
Age of consent for sex-type stuff in Australia is 16 :V Most problems caused by underage sex really come down to lack of education in the matter rather than the age of the people doing it. The main reason I've got to resent cub yiff is because it appears to be mostly glorifying the rape of children.
