My Loves, My Hates
18 years ago
I remember seeing something like this in one of Duncan's journals, soooo, whilst I take a break from studying for a bit (to give my brain a rest), this is what I love, and what I hate about the furry fandom
I Love
1) Fursuits
Yep, whatever your personal views on fursuits may be, I absolutely love the damn things. Serious, toony, partial, full, whatever, makes no difference to me, if it's fuzzy and cute, then you can expect stalkage from me and my busy camera finger.
2) Furmeets
Nothing quite like a small, personal gathering of a few local furs to brighten one's day. Sure they can be rife with drama and lulz, but so is life in general. I just love the oppurtunity to hang out with like minded fuzzy folk, grab a beer or two and just kick back and relax with some good furry friends.
3) Being Drawn
Yeah ok, I know what you're thinking, but c'mon, who doesn't like having their character being drawn? Be it a trade, a gift a commission or whatever, I always like to see how other artists interpret my own characters to their style, regardless of ability. If you've taken the time to draw one of my characters, it means a lot to me, even if I don't seem to show it.
4) The Sense of Community
Yup, unlike pretty much ANY subculture out there, I find that you put a bunch of furs together in a room, you're guaranteed to have a good time. We are generally goofy, silly, fun people, and it's things like that, that I love, I like to see furs getting together and really sharing a community spirit, it just gives me warm fuzzies all over.
5) Drawing
In case you hadn't guessed, I love drawing. I may not be 100% happy with how my stuff turns out most of the time, but I really enjoy putting things onto paper and hearing how people react. I know I don't always reply to your comments, but I read every one, and appreciate them a great deal.
I Hate
1) Art Whores
Nothing pisses me off quite like people who repeatedly bug me (either directly or indirectly) to draw them. If I don't like you, I'm not going to draw you, and if you keep hastling me, I'm not going to like you. So you get trapped in a loop y'see.
2) Overly-Excitable Furs
We all know the type. The ones who go "HAI DO U LAIK FURRIEZ LOL?" when they talk to you on MSN. No, I'm just on this website for lulz, OBVIOUSLY. I cannot stand "stereotype" furs, those who have every other line they type as "glomp" or "hug". Drives me utterly insane. Just because you're a furry doesn't mean you should be devoid of the ability to maintain a semi-intelligent conversation. Come at me on MSN with *glomp" *hug* or any other such derivative with your first time speaking to me, and I guarantee it will be your last. First impressions count a lot with me.
3) Fav and Comment Whores
Imagine if you will, genericfurry. He is just starting out in the art scene, which is cool y'know? His stuff is about average. You look at his "watching" list. "GenericFurry is watching 85394693269367 people" Does he appreciate all those artists? NO. FUCK NO. He's watched that many in an effort to get people to look at his page so his precious "pageviews" counter can go up a bit. When the hell did pageviews become such a big fucking deal? Seriously now.
4) Dickheads
Goes without saying really, I've met some really nasty customers in my time, those who actively attack someone's art because they don't think it's good enough. If you think it sucks..... DON'T LOOK AT IT. Christ, not everyone is gonna be the next Adam Wan. Maybe their stuff does suck, but is that any reason for you to single them out for it? You're not exactly Da Vinci yourself, you fucking mong.
5) Broken Record furs
What do I mean by this? Furs who say THE EXACT SAME THING on everything you submit EVER. It's like they have a copy/paste primed and ready for when you click on the submit button. It's not asking much for some varied commenting is it? If I see someone saying "Great Work" and nothing else, every single time, it makes me want to shoot a stream of highly pressurised blood out of my eye.
So there we are! Loves and Hates, so now you know how much of a prick I am ;)

DragoMike Says
*Glomps!*
Back at you bro!!!
And thats all I have to say.
it's when you see people watching literally THOUSANDS that I start to ask questions
:B
I know with me, it's sometime hard to make a comment though so it may seem like I'm fave whoring but it's just I'm too dumb/shy to think of anything good to say...
BTW glad to see you love being drawn, when I get used to drawing lots and get a good thing going you're one of the people I'm drawing for being so nice to me X3
thats cool man! I'm nice to you because you've given me no reason not to be! :P
And I hate people who keeps begging for their character to be drawn. ._. Although I never wanted to request without having done something in return..I always feel bad if I haven't done anything in return for them. Yet I like to give away giftarts. Huh.
And I so totally agree with you on furmeets. I find them pleasently nice, and filled with good company- even if I can;'t hear, I got alot of good fun. DS local multiplayers! Be silly! (Not much to get attention though) and just enjoy the drink on offer..<3
But a couple of your likes really make me happy, like the sense of community. I sometimes get surprised by just how tight-knit the furry community is. It's almost unreal ^_^
And sorry if I ever did something that you hated ^_^;
Drawings are fun to do when you've got time, especially making comics. Can't wait to finish finals and finally have the time to do some comics. ^^
oh and one last thing, get the " cute " comment over and over... I understand how it feels Dx
