Diversity with OC Species
a month ago
From the 3 1/2 years I've been on FurAffinity, I've always been happy that this site isn't just "furry-only" characters. I love how they give us more diversity and options to label what species our OCs can be. As a furry artist who loves to make OCs of MANY kinds of species, including non-furry species too, I wish they could give us more options in the games/media sections and the mythology sections.
I will say this, there have been some species that are in well-known media that I have made OCs of, that aren't in the selections, so I have to call them something less specific and more vague. For instance, I have a Balrog OC named "Balrog" or "Lord Balrog" and a Balrog is specifically from Lord of the Rings, which I would've thought a Balrog would be an option in the games/media sections, but it sadly isn't there. So what I have to do is either call my Balrog OC a "dragon" or a "demon", which is also okay, sometimes I wish it could be more specific tho.
My fursona Joey is a hybrid species that isn't well known to other furries called a "Dragoroo" meaning a mix of a dragon and a kangaroo, so most of the time I have to label him as a "dragon", but some days I think I need to label him as "Hybrid Species". I guess this is just the cause of me being very "descriptive", which not every is.
This site is still growing and changing every day, so maybe they will add more species to future label selections? Who knows?
