Food In Focus: Why Are We Here?
6 years ago
**************************************
From Chris, your bacon loving moderator:
...Why are we here?
What's the point of all this hoax?
Is it the chicken and the egg time, or are we just yolks?
What is the meaning of life? (Besides 42)
Why are we posting here, instead of Instagram, Tumblr, Facebook, etc?
My diplomatic response is as follows, which I think needs to be restated from one of our old journals that you can still see here:
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3790392/
We are furries, posting for other furries, the love of what we do - which is cooking. And: Furries need to eat too, as pointed out in said journal.
Maybe our group isn't directly related to being furry. But isn't that a different (and certainly more controversial/theological) thing?
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/...../#cid:28413507
Poetry technically isn't furry; music technically isn't furry; writing technically isn't furry.
*This* is why we are here, and will keep doing what we love doing.
Because anything less, isn't who we really are. This is what defines our group.
Cooking is how we show our love...and just so happens to be an art form.
To everyone !

Yet they are still arts, all the same. And they represent a community making them, all the same.
For all of its drawbacks, FurAffinity still is, as far as I know, a furry website representing
ALL aspects of the furry community.*This* is why we are here, and will keep doing what we love doing.

Well, FACCC2 is art BY furries! Because food is definitely art. And these recipes are for everyone who likes to cook, bake, or just likes food. That includes furries too. So, art BY furries, FOR furries.
Sounds like we definitely belong in this community!
And if you want to get into more detail, given the significant audience of feeders, feedees, fat fur fans, and similar - - it would seem to this wuff that food, cooking, baking, etc., is definitely a central interest to more than one community of furs!
Finally, given the literally thousands of positive comments that food photos and recipes posts receive here, it appears that a large portion of the users of this board are happy to see these posts, and the artistry behind them.
We definitely belong!
Yes, furs have real lives with interests other than fursuiting, etc. It, (the hobby), as well as this site (FA), would be pretty shallow if it didn't acknowledge that being fur is more than just fursona.
I am also a poet, musician, and writer, as written above, as well as a photographer.
BTW, I boycott facebook, twitter, etc, in favor of here. Always have, not a recent choice. Always will.
