"You're Not a Furry Are You?"

[Whitenoise]

What is the appropriate response to "yiff in hell" that will make you sound fucking awesome?

The only proper response to being told to yiff in hell is to shove you cock into the person's ass and then sodomize them until they weep fucking blood . Sadly seeing as furries are far to obese to sodomize anything people are just going to keep saying it forever.

substitute that with a fist?
Wait.. That's awful..

 

[Shomti]

Hm... I don't think anybody's said something along those lines specifically (I beat them to the punch of exposing the unusual things about me, so they have no pleasure in pointing it out to anyone since I don't deny it.), but if someone I didn't know walked up to me and said "You're not a furry, are you?" I would probably say something like this. "Last I checked, I resembled a human so much that question's irrelevant. But if you mean I would LIKE to be a furry, then yes. I mean, it'd be better than this, don't you think?" After which I would delve deep into my many facts as to why being furry would be far better than being human, following which if they should not be scared off and indeed proclaim it is a sexual fetish, I shall respond that it is not necessarily so and I know several furries that abhor the sexual aspects. I just so happen not to. And finally, if someone shouts "Yiff in Hell!" at me... well, there are so many ways to respond to that.

"By the time I die, assuming there is a Hell to go to, I think that yiff shall be nothing special and I shall finally start pursuing that social life I never got around to having."

"I will, but don't expect me to wait for you to show up there first."

"Hell's all well and good, but I can't wait that long."

"Hm? Oh, you can be sure I will. I'll probably yiff my way to the top and be way higher in Hell's government than you will be. I'll control your torture! Might wanna be nicer to me, huh?"

"See you there. You ought to make reservations now, though, I bet I'll be pretty damn busy."


And other such witty comments.

I'm 99% certain a friend of mine is a fur (as he's into dragons even more than I am!) If anyone's going to bring up the subject, it'll be him. And I already know what my response will be: "what if I were?"

Doesn't confirm, doesn't deny... but starts the ball rolling.

You know that kind of sound likes one of my close high school friends, he was obsessed with dragons, he would wear a dragon shirt each day and had plenty of books about them. He was like that until he was a junior (I think thats when he found out what a furry was and stop wearing the shirts and what not and every once in a while would start furry bashing and what not) but I wonder if deep down that he knows he is one. I can't just bring up the conversation because he said that furries are stupid, all they do is draw animals all day pretend to be them but I guess its best to leave him be.

I remember drawing pretty explicit stuff in school that was furry and no one ever questioned me, they just stared. I've never really looked at furry the same as most people do. Most people actually complimented me with something like "dude that's pretty good you should become a professional artist"

Those days are behind me now though I pretty much quit drawing in general.

Why? (If you don't mind me asking.)

 

[Grand Hatter]

Hey, I had this happen to me too. But I meh in the face of awkward silences.
I was showing off my latest doodlings to a friend, who eventually made the profound realisation
"Oh, god, You're a furry!"

"Uh huh", I said. "Deal with it" (and I continued to show my artses)

My other mate said 'Yup, you're a furry!' one day, completely randomly.
'And I'm not using that as a derogatory term' he quickly said.

 

[Midi Bear]

I haven't exactly had "You're not a furry, are you?", but I have had situations where to give a friend the full story of something, I tell them. Kinda like.

Me: Oh yeah, so I'm meeting this dude from FA at white water.
Friend: FA?
Me: Fur Affinity. I'm a furry.
Friend: Oh cool, didn't know that.

If you're just calm in telling someone in a casual way, they don't care. I got a very neutral reaction from that person.

 

[BlackRat]

Yup, happened to me once. My perception of time is terrible now, but I'm fairly sure it was first half of grade 12.
An ex-friend of mine (I say ex-friend because we drifted apart gradually, nothing bad) saw my fennec desktop as I was starting as I was starting up my laptop for class. He called me away from my laptop briefly to ask me what my desktop was of, so I told him, but I probably explained it in too much detail XD. Afterwards, he asked almost exactly "um, you're not a furry, are you?". He caught me off guard, so I shamefully danced around the question, answering somethink like "Well, I like fennecs!". He ended up replying "You just gave me my answer".
At the time, I was under the impression he'd assumed 'yes', but the topic's never come up again and he still hasn't done anything that makes me believe he even remembers asking.

 

[Inices]

Hasn't happened to me, but reading this thread makes me want to actually show my furry drawings to other people. Right now I hide them for fear of people going, "oh shit you're a furry, gtfo". But who knows? More likely then not, they wouldn't know what a furry is, and if they do, since I only show my drawings to people who are mildly intelligent, they wouldn't care too much.

Though they are channers. Hm. Risky business. >:3c

lol, does complicate things...most of my friends are too. Thought I was in for trouble when they scanned over Furcadia in my files (played it once from curiosity and got bored XD), but no reaction ^_^

 

[Bokracroc]

Where I am, the only thing people use the internet for is YouTube.

Ahahaha this reminds of something funny I did.

Once I was drawing a regular furry.
And yup you guessed it a friend comes up next to me and says:
"You're not a furry are you?"
And I replied:
"NOPE. This is a furry, THAT'S ABOUT TO GET CRUSHED BY THE MEGA ROBOT OF DOOM!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

And so we then spent that art lesson together drawing furries getting destroyed in all sorts of hilarious ways.

The End.

ps- that work got graded. A+ FTW!

One of the best examples of dodging the bullet thar.

I'd laugh and deliberately not respond. If pressed into an answer, I'd say "hell no." I'm well lodged in my closet. It's comfy in here.

Play dumb or ignorant. Outright denying it makes you more suss, but playing ignorant works if you play the right cards.

 

[sashadistan]

Yup, a lecturer the other day (I'm doing a portion of my degree work on furry culture), so I stalled, went erm a lot and then said "I refuse to answer this question" Which is enough ammo for anyone. I'm never having a tutorial with her ever again.

 

[zytik]

I get "you're a furry too?!" a lot because theres a lot of furries in my circle of friends and not everyone knows I am one.

 

[Wreth]

Lucky ={

 

[Kingman]

It basically went "Ew...your a furry?"

Me: "Well yeah."
Other person: "You got a suit you yiff in?"
Me: "Nope not that kind of furry."
OP: "Still Ew..."

I still get teased about it but no one I know really cares.

 

[Wovstah]

I say yes and get the awkward silence... then usually a 'cool' :3

 

[yoka_neko]

i used to get bullied at school because of it, i wasnt aware of what i was at the time..i was called cat girl by others. This wasnt something i could shrug off though, because it was more than name calling..ive been beaten up and spat on and had pranks played on me.
even if i stopped drawing, or reffering to this character it was branded to me.

Yes, just tell anybody who asks that you're a member of the A.A.E. Club...

Yeah and I call myself a "Pop-Japonist", but to the world I'm still just an anime drawing otaku with a pompous name ending in "ist".

 

[lawsuite]

Story time!
Well, funny thing is that i don't really draw furries in public unless I'm asking for sketch ideas and a friend tells me to draw an anthro. Yet somebody at school, oddly enough, asked me if I was a furry when he saw me drawing a minotaur.
I told him the truth, I don't see myself as a furry because I don't view it as a lifestyle, but I may easily fit his definition because I like anthro art. It seemed like he wanted to be my friend and I did a lot of art requests for him until he started asking for porn.
D:
And that is why furries have a bad reputation

Also:

....Problem, I need to grow a dick

Pfft. If you were a real hyaena, sodomy would be a cakewalk.

 

[Irreverent]

It hasn't happened to me yet....and I'd be surprised if it ever did. In my clique, I'm known as a bit of a Renascence man (fancy term for "eccentric"). I have a wide and varied range of hobbies, so most will take my being in the fandom in stride. I'm old enough (not nearly wise enough, sadly) and comfortable enough with myself that any negative reaction they might have will just roll off like water off a duck's back.

If someone suddenly announced that they were furry to me? I'd probably just compare notes, favourite authors and sites.
