What bothers you the most about the furry fandom?

[Morroke]

Mainly unoriginal fursonas. A bunch of wolves and foxes grow up into a more fitting fursona later on. But it's mainly the wolf people who say 'Oh I'm like a wolf because I'm a loner. A lone wolf. I'm so cool'

LONE WOLVES DIE IN THE WILD.

You know why real therians tend to hate Otherkin? It's due to this pretentious little idea they (the otherkin came up with) to take an existing spirituality, steal it's name, bastardize it, and throw it under their umbrella.

Just thought I'd point it out.

I'd have to agree half with Shenzi. I don't hate Otherkin. I despise part of their numbers with a passion.

I really couldnt answer you on that, I wouldnt honestly know, there are some otherkin out there that have their heads so far up their tails, I think they bring more problems down on the rest of us than they will admit.

Otherkin, Therians and Furries are all part of the same supergroup anyway, while being distinctivly seperate groups and communities of our own, you cant deny that the three of us share elements in common.
I would personaly perfer to focus on what makes us the same, rather than what makes us different. I avoid, some otherkin sites and IRC channels, because the admins are on an ego-trip, and I really dont like this "I've been around the community longer than you, respect me or die" bullshit.

All I will tell you, is that not all otherkin are the same.

I shall summarize my response with "I don't give a shit".

Glad we understand each other.

No but it's cool bro

I should've put "most" instead of inferring "all". Because there are always exceptions.

I've just had a hard time finding one.

Reminds me of the retard thread on gaia.
Not one had a good explanation.

"DO I DAZZLE YOU?!?"

Frankly no. Not at all

But on this subject..I'd rather wear a tail instead of meditating an imaginary one.

You'll find the names I mentioned in my earlier post, fall into the exception category.

And I hoped you liked the one TRP sent...I had to keep her from wearing it. :/

Wearing one is better than wagging your ass randomly while standing in line.

I did meet a couple of Otherkin at the camp I went to. Real ripe assholes...everytime I saw them, I wanted to kick a chicken....

Surprrisingly, there were chickens around.

 

[Gavrill]

The tail is :awesome: and I wear it every day almost

And wait, the Otherkin didn't eat the chickens?

They were sucpiciously close to the goat and sheep pen.

This kind of poll depresses me. It just rams home how much the various "factions" (for lack of a better word) of the furry fandom tend to hate the other "factions".

Can't we all just learn to hate each other on an individual basis?

 

[LizardKing]

Not in a million years (and counting)

Hmm... if recent events haven't shaken your faith in that statement I'm not sure what would.

 

[Gavrill]

What recent events

The only way society will move forwards is if we all pretend to like each other.

I'm not racist, you jerk.

 

[VVhiteWolf]

Cub furs and those people who make the fandom look bad. AKA "Reject Furs". Y'know. Those people who actually use furry terms and stuff in front of non-furry people...

 

[Gavrill]

How is cub bad if you're not fucking small animals/children in real life

It's art, people.

 

[Miaka]

Seriously... 'Sides, tame cub stuff can be totally adorable.

Though, I remembered another thing that bugs me about the fandom... the fursonas that are hybrids of pretty much every species ever in an attempt to be original.
I knew one girl... last I checked, the character was a wolf/cat/raptor/demon/angel. Seriously.... Same issue as the foxes, to me.

All I don't like about animal head people is that they are all so mean, a real rude buncha dudes. My page is always full of rude and mean comments and that's why I left for a long time. }:
