What do you hate about the furry fandom?

[Sylox]

When I see animals, I don't get aroused, so you're wrong. Its the porn that arouses me. SFW shit doesn't do a damn thing. The wolves at the National Zoo don't do a damn thing.

Ergo, I"m not a Zoophiliac or w/e you call em.

 

[Deleted member 82554]

Dude, I have proven you wrong over and over again and you're still in denial about it. You are sexually attracted to Anthropomorphic animals, a type of animal, ergo, you are a Zoophile.

Now stop this shit before the two of us end up banned/suspended.

Want to discuss it further, PM me.

 

[Sylox]

Fine, I know when to stop.

 

[Byron]

So you see nothing wrong with cub porn? I guess you think there is nothing wrong with child porn as well.

^logical fallacy

Take it easy, it's just a drawing.

Am I getting trolled?

 

[Fallowfox]

Okay, Mr. Zoophile.

Having a furry fetish doesn't mean you're attracted to real animals.

But I agree with your sentiments that we don't have a right to ostracise people we view as unpalatable just because they're not normal, rather than because they're demonstrably harmful.

 

[dischimera]

Agreeing with the above post is exactly why I'll never understand why apparently not condemning cub art suddenly makes someone a potential pedophile.

Oh shit, it's here too. How dull.

To be honest my comment wasn't about cub art, although I agree that failing to be outraged by it isn't equivalent to being a suspected paedophile.

Sylox said he thought that any furries with a diaper fetish should be ostracised. I'm not sure I want to spend my time trying to kink shame other users, instead of just getting on with my life.

 

[Sylox]

I'm not kink shaming at all, all I'm saying is that there are some things which we know are wrong like cub porn and yet we do nothing about it. We all have a problem with child pornography, but for some reason cub porn gets a pass just cuz the characters have fur.

Cub porn is banned on FA. Sometimes quasi-sexual images remain on the site, but the staff are...generally doing their job I guess.

I think the reason some people are apathetic about this subject is because the characters are ficticious, rather than real people being hurt.

But I digress, most furries with diaper fetishists are not paedophiles. I'm not sure why you'd single them out, rather than explicitly targeting paedophiles.

Not sure how frowned upon cub porn is with regular Furs, I do know that it is mostly taboo among Babyfurs though. I am trying to learn the in's and out's of this culture, subcultures and their entirety.

Having a furry fetish doesn't mean you're attracted to real animals.

The article does not specify whether it applies to real or fictional animals. It only implies that it involves a sexual fixation on animals.

You're a knowledgeable person, Fallow, if I am missing something enlighten me.

Furry fetishes are already variously described in psych' research as 'autozoophilia' 'autoplushophilia' 'plushiphilia' and 'fursuitism', but I'm just going to put all of that aside.

Calling someone a zoophile, because they're attracted to bugsbunny clearly gives the wrong impression. There is a difference between having a kink for saucy cartoon characters and wanting to have sex with real animals, especially since the latter is taboo, so let's not go trying to deliberately mix them up. :\

 

[Troj]

No, I don't think jerking it to animal people necessarily means you're a zoophile, because a bipedal talking humanoid dog is not the same thing as a real dog.

My tentative theory is that many furries jerk it to anthros because anthros typically telegraph, allude to, or otherwise represent the best and most attractive qualities of human beings, while these characters' animal aspects potentially "soften" various humanoid qualities that might otherwise be off-putting, distracting, confusing, or overwhelming.

The whole business of people consuming porn that depicts evil, illegal, or unethical acts is a tricky one, because the official jury is definitely out on whether such porn gives people a safe outlet for antisocial desires, or makes those desires stronger--or either, or both, depending.

So Autozoophilia would be the more correct term? But since Autozoophilia is also represented as an autoerotic form of Zoophilia the term Zoophile still applies if one's interest in yiff art is sexual over something that is aesthetically pleasing, right?

Just trying to get the facts here.

 

[Gator]

"anthropomorphic" means having human qualities. it is those qualities that sets anthros apart from actual animals, and in most cases it is the fact that they have human qualities which gives them the capacity to be sexually appealing to humans. even for people who prefer anthros over human characters, that doesn't necessarily mean they have an interest in normal animals (which is what it would mean to be a zoophile), because the anthro is still basically just a more interesting/exotic person. it isn't viewed in the same way as an actual animal, because it's not one.

...wait, i came here to gripe about furries.
the thing i hate about furry fandom is how so many people take it seriously and try to turn it into something it's not. :I you are not a depraved maniac just because you think cartoon animal people are cool. it is literally not a big deal.

 

[LazerMaster5]

All this arguing is getting on my nerves. When I joined this forum, everyone was nice to each other, and we all got along. I have no clue what the hell happened, but the past month or two have been escalating in hostility between members. We are tearing the forums apart over stupid shit. We need to stop the madness. People take things way too seriously and need to lighten the fuck up. Do I have to throw lamps at all of you to get you to lighten up? Come on, guys. Yes, macro is weird. That's why it's called a fetish. Is it bad? No. But is it normal? No. But Sylox has no right to pull apart generally liked fetishes because he thinks they are weird. We are on a furry forum, for fox sake. Everything about us is weird. And this retaliation? At this rate, someone is going to get banned. We need to stop arguing already.

 

[Byron]

I feel like I should apologize. I barged in here and jumped on the dogpile without so much as a "how do you do", and I feel like an asshole. I'm sure more than a few of you think of me at least as badly. Believe it or not, I actually came here because I wanted to make friends.

I don't want to argue with people. I don't know why I did. I just want to talk about furry stuff without getting weird looks. Isn't that what we all want?

 

[Astus]

What I hate about furries is that they have own thing like Godwin's law, but instead of always coming to comparing the nazis to something they always come to talking about fetishes and the related topics

 

[GamingGal]

You are sexually attracted to Anthropomorphic animals, a type of animal, ergo, you are a Zoophile.

Wrong. Anthropomorphic animals are completely different from regular animals. Anthros act, think, and look vaguely like humans. They have feelings and emotions and generally pieces of ourselves in them. Being attracted to a hot and steamy scene of your sona with another anthro doesn't make you a zoophile. That being said, I don't seen an issue with the cub porn either, simply because, as Troj was saying, I think it might sate any desires those might have for younger individuals. Although, this might not be the case with some, but I feel it might be.

/2cents

Anyways.

I hate the obsession the furry community has with NSFW stuff. I mean, I get it, you guys think it's hot. I admit that some of it is tastefully done and I find it attracted. But, come on now, I want to see other things when I'm browsing art, too >.>

Exactly ! This is why I have almost never used my FA account because when ever I log on some kind of suggesive or fetish art is the result even with the maturity filter ON.

Ugh !!!

Luckily Deviant Art has a much better filter so al least I can browse safely there.

Non the less the issue is still disconcerting >.<

 

[Radost]

I hate how many closed minded posts that i see about other peoples thoughts and fetishes, furry's already get enough shit, at least have a few places people feel comfortable posting. it also saddens how many completely obsessed people i see in the furry community, with that said obsessed people rule the world but sometimes you need to find a balance. The thing i hate the most is that there is no furry TV show!

 

[Whitefire]

I think the only thing that bothers me is that unless you display your drama everyday, people don't seem to pay much attention to you.

Nah, I try not to discuss my daily drama on the Internet. I just try to be myself, and everything is fine. Get engaged in topics, and people will get to know you. No need to be an attention whore.

[Whitefire]

Well, that's the way I am. However I've watched quiet a few people that have generated a heck of a following based solely on the drama they put out.
