How furry AM I?
15 years ago
Greggest found this on someone else's page and felt compelled.. now, so do I! XD
1. () Have you ever howled at the moon?
No. That's retarded. Wait, yes, I have, but only when I was intentionally acting retarded, and I do believe it was a photograph of the moon, or perhaps at some point, when I was a retarded high-schooler, I wanted to act retarded and howled at the moon. So, we'll say NO, but phantom yes.
2. () Have you ever barked at someone?
No. Not in any serious manner. I've made sharp, barking noises at dogs to get their attention and scold them for misbehaving.. but then I've taken dog-training classes, so it's not a furry thing. BUT, some of you might think of that as even MORE furry than furry, so I will say NO, phantom yes.
3. (YES) Have you ever found yourself drawing or scribbling furry art when you're supposed to be doing something else?
I must sadly confess, yes. My college notes are littered with furry doodles. So.. there is one.
4. () Have you ever worn an animal costume or tail as a child and pretended to be an animal?
Yes. As a child, I have worn animal costumes or tails and acted like an animal, yes. Such behavior is common among children, however, and does not indicate any sort of "furry" affinity in future life. So I will say NO, phantom yes, because I believe this is an irresponsible question.
5. () Have you ever eaten out of a dog bowl?
No. That is retarded. Furthermore, such behavior is more commonly associated with the BDSM community, so again, in my opinion, it's an irresponsible question for this survey.
6. (yes) Have you been to at least one furry con?
Yes. I had fun at one, none at the others.
7. () Do you like to look at furry porn all the time?
This is a pretty poorly worded question. But, even in the spirit of the question, no.
8. () Do you RP or play second life as a furry character?
Not currently no. I used to play D&D as anthro characters, and I used to MU** a lot. but these days, no. so.. No, phantom yes.
9. () Do you own a fursuit or at least a tail?
Not any more. So, no.
10. (YES) Do you know what all these words mean or have used them at least once?
This is a terrible question, because [the writer of this meme] doesn't ever cite the furry lexicon. But, for the purposes of this survey, yes.
11. () Do you have at least 5 videos of you acting or doing something furry on youtube?
Absolutely not.
12. (YES) Has your anthropersona/character been drawn in a furry porn type manner?
That is none of your business.
13. () Are you well known in the furry fandom?
Not as well-known as I used to be. But I changed my name and left that behind me. Definitely not in this new generation of "furries".
14. () Do you dream furry while you sleep?
As it is worded, this question suggests persistent, recurring dreams or at least a nightly "furry" theme. No. I do not have such dreams. As a note, when I do (rarely) have dreams in which I am not human, I am either a dragon, or a werewolf. So, I fear that earns a phantom yes.
15. () Would you transform into your character/fursona if you were given the chance to live like that for the rest of your life?
No.
16. (yes) Have you ever worn a collar?
Much to my absolute disgust, yes I have. I was young and extremely stupid at the time, but yes. As a side note, however, this behavior is much more commonly associated with the "goth" or "BDSM" communities. Sadly, in my case, it was furry.
17. () Do you own more than 20 art badges of your fursonas or characters?
Not over 20, no.
18. () Have you been to more than 20 furry cons in your lifetime?
No, I haven't.
19. () Do you think that deep down you have the spirit of an animal within you?
That's idiotic. No, I do not, and I resent this question, because it tries to claim this pagan notion as being "furry". Do I believe in totems and animal guides? In a way, yes. Do I believe I'm a retarded dog in a man's body? No; that's retarded. But, since this question makes no distinction between "furry" thoughts and pagan ones, I must offer (to an extent) a phantom yes.
20. (YES) Do you enjoy hanging out with other furries?
I would be an utter ass-hole to say "no" to this question. So I will answer literally. There are furries with whom I enjoy hanging out. Yes.
21. () Do you think we should have a furry run for president of the USA?
A furry existent today? Absolutely not. This brings to mind a "furry" platform, which I cringe to ponder. However, if a furry somewhere managed (somehow) to get the education and charisma to serve as this country's figure-head without making the U.S. look retarded, then sure. NOTE: Badly considered question, because some people outside the U.S. may answer "yes" to this on the grounds that they feel it would make our country look even more ridiculous than it does in the world's eyes. So.. Phantom yes.
22. () If you ever became rich would you own a room in your house that was just to display your fursuits or furry art?
No. I would not devote a room to furry arts and crafts.
23. () Is your best friend furry?
No. BUT.. depending on what readers think this question means, and depending on whether or not they feel they have the authority to label others "furry" against their will, then yes. so.. phantom yes.
24. () Do your furry friends call you by your furry name in public?
No. This question implies ALL my furry friends calling me "flippant", or my going by or introducing myself to fuirries as "flippant". however, I do have some friends who call me "flippant" or derivatives thereof, so, phantom yes.
25. (YES) Have you been in the furry fandom for at least 5 years?
I should suffer multiple points for how many multiples of 5 years that I've been a furry. So... Phantom three yesses.
Total: 6
phantom total: 17
1 to 5 = Furry wannabe.
6 to 10 = Furry newbie.
11 to 15 = Furry.
16 to 20 = Hardened Furry.
I suppose you can say that furry has hardened me.. not no in any way that most people here would like to think.
1. () Have you ever howled at the moon?
No. That's retarded. Wait, yes, I have, but only when I was intentionally acting retarded, and I do believe it was a photograph of the moon, or perhaps at some point, when I was a retarded high-schooler, I wanted to act retarded and howled at the moon. So, we'll say NO, but phantom yes.
