Interaction with co-worker about r34 (NSFW :D)
10 months ago
My young co-worker mentioned he was going to see "Moana 2" and I said that I rarely go to theater for new movies anymore, but I'd probably go for "Zootopia 2" because I like the first one so much. He said that he'd seen some fan comics of Judy Hopps online, implying they were dirty and he seemed terribly scandalized by the idea. "Come on, guys!" he said. "It's a kids' show!"
Without thinking, I said, "Ah, Rule 34." He, of course, didn't know what that was and I said I couldn't explain while we were at work. (For those who don't know, it's a "rule of the internet" that states, "If it exists, there's porn for it.")
I just thought it was funny...of all the people for him to be saying this to. Me, who has been drawing furry porn for decades and who has seen every imaginable character turned into r34. Saying "There's porn of Judy Hopps" is to me like saying "water is wet." I have seen Cheesasaurus Rex, the Mac and Cheese mascot, splooging cheese!
I've been told I'm kind of a sheltered person, so it was also kind of funny to feel like I'd been around the block compared to this guy.
Later, a different co-worker was talking to me about "Beastars" when the first guy happened by and I was thinking, "if he's shocked by Judy Hopps porn, what would he make of that show!" :D
Not furry porn related, but I had another funny interaction about the "Wicked" movie. A co-worker was warning me that if I go see it, it's a 2-parter and ends on a cliffhanger. I know the stage version and read all four novels. I didn't say anything, bit I was thinking, "Not only do I know what happened to Elphaba, I know what happened to her granddaughter! :D

You can have naive people well into their 50s, unfortunately. I've met 'furry' artists who have Zero clue about the Greek classics, for example - even as their art was making reference to such!
Yes, there's a ton of brilliant clean furry art as well. Ironically all of my "Zootopia" fan art is clean! :D
I'm not usually much for romance, but some of the sweetest relationship stuff I've ever seen has been in clean gay furry art.
