So I was talking to some furries on a forum about stereotypes associated with the fandom and are the stereotypes truthful or lies.

So apparantly one thing led to another and I learned something very interesting.

Brace yourselves kiddies!

I'm a minority in the fandom.

Let's look at the stereotypes and what I believe in, shall we?

Note that these stereotypes are ones that I hear, so in no way am I carrying them on.

1) Stereotype: Most furries are from the age of 16 thru college age or about 22.

Truth: I'm 25.

2) Stereotype: I have purple fur, so I must be a gay furry as many furries are gay.

Truth: I'm straight. (Nothing wrong with being gay mind you)

3) Stereotype: I'm a fox, so I must be into extreme yiffing or fetishes.

Truth: I like art and stories that are anyehere from G to PG 13. I don't like fetishes. Tasteful nudes are ok.

So there you have it. A straight purple furred 25 year old fox furry who likes relatively tame furry art and stories.

The moral: Stereotypes look just at the overall forest rather than each individual tree.
