Furry Meme
14 years ago
Are you a furry?
In that I draw anthro-critters on occasion and enjoy when others do so too, yes.
If you have a Spouse/SO - Is he/she a furry too?
Yes. I claim responsibility for converting him, though his name was already "Fluffy" before that.
How long have you been in the community?
I have been drawing "hybrid creatures" for most of my life, but Six pointed out to me in junior year of high school that there was a whole contingent of people who did too, and that it had a name
How did you find furry?
THIS QUESTION IS REDUNDANT!
What's your reason for furry (what interested you to get into the community)?
THIS QUESTION IS ALSO REDUNDANT!
What's Furry to you?
Anthro critters. This can be anything from humans with animal heads (a la the Egyptian gods) or straight up animals who talk (Re: Lion King). Toony animals (e.g. Loony Toons) tend to be "cartoon animals" in my brian.
If someone found out you're a furry and asked you about it how would you respond?
This has happened many times. Once I had to explain it to a cop at a con. The detail of my description is positively correlated with my audience's familiarity with "that one episode of CSI".
What are your favorite aspects of our community?
The crazy shit that goes on and no one bats an eye at.
Do you use any furry terms? (i.e. yiff, paws, murr?)
"Mate", "murr" and "mraow", but only the first one in non-furry company.
What do you wish furry was NOT associated with?
DRAMAZ… oh, and the inescapable fact the large majority of the IRL furs I've seen seem to be social fuckwits who bear a striking physical resemblance to Kevin Smith regardless of their sex.
How strongly do you feel about someone bashing the community as a whole?
I enjoy it thoroughly.
How strongly do you feel about anyone bashing you yourself for your interest based on the media's aspect of what furry is?
I have never had someone "fur-bash" me, what with my generally assertive/aggressive communication behaviors. Remember, others rarely bash you if you have a bigger stick and a demonstrated willingness to use it.
We all know furries have a lot of sexual aspects in this fandom, What's your opinion on it?
OH GAWD WHY ARE THERE BOOBS ON THAT REPTILE AND/OR BIRD!?! NO MLP:FIM IS NOT THE SECOND CUMMING! EATING OTHER SENTIENT BEINGS IS NOT SEXY IT'S FUCKING DISTURBING AS ALL HELL! RAPE IS EVIL AND DESERVES TO BE PUNISHED WITH CASTRATION -- NEITHER OF WHICH ARE SEXY.
Personal
What is/are your fursona(s)?
Eric; leopon master of many things, including rocking a kilt all the time and being a high school soccer star.
Do you have any fetishes that pertain to the fandom?
As an asexual, I don't have fetishes as I'm "bleh" on the whole sex thing. That said, BY THE FORCE THE DICK IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THICKER THAN THE FOREARM DAMMIT! ANATOMYFAIL! I get hot for anatomical correctness and make-your-eyes-bleed attention to detail.
If you could magically morph into your fursona would you?
That seems unadvisable, what with the general lack of anthro leopons in the populace.
Do you believe you have a spirit animal?
I choose to attribute an animal-shaped avatar to "that little voice in my head" because it pleases me/brings me comfort to do so. Do I believe that said avatar exists in any form other than that given to it by my imagination? No.
What other fanbases/groups are you a part of?
Star Wars, generic nerds, that-genre-of-people-who-always-seem-to-have-a-socially-inappropriate-fact-to-explain-to-a-group-with-a-straight-face-for-the-lulz
Anthro/Feral, Therian or Kemonomimi (Not a furry, just a human with animal ears and a tail)?
THIS IS NOT A QUESTION! QUESTIONS HAVE VERBS!
Are you a fursuiter? If yes, how many do you own? If No, do you ever plan on being a suiter?
No. I would love to make one, but I am less enthused by the idea of wearing it.
How many of your friends are furry?
3
How many pets do you own, if any?
1
Aside from furry what other interests do you have?
Art, arguing, knowing things, debating, making things, things that are interesting.
Are you confident enough in yourself to say that you're a fur, no matter what the media says?
THIS IS ANOTHER REDUNDANT QUESTION!
Meetups
Do you attend any cons? If no, would you attend any cons? If yes, which cons have you been to?
I have been to 2 FCs and 1 RMFC and that is more than sufficient for my tastes. Somehow the creepiness of furs in general is OK when it's online but not when a mid-40-year-old balding man with a sparkly MLP tail is standing 5 feet from your face!
Do you go to local meetups (bowling, public outings...etc)?
Used to. Don't anymore.
Have you ever attended a furry party? If no, would you attend one?
Nope, and not likely. I would go to a party thrown by a friend of mine who is furry, at which there would likely be many furs, but I would go to it because he threw it not because it was a furry party.
Online
Have you ever met up with a fur you talked to online?
Unfortunately.
What furry websites do you attend?
This one.
What non furry websites do you frequent?
All the other ones. (Seriously? This is a dumb-shit question)
Has the fandom done anything for you that you're thankful for? Has it taught you anything or brought you anything you treasure greatly?
It has made me more knowledgeable about arcanely random and non-mainstream sex-related shit, and has made it so I can both encounter such topics without batting an eye and discuss them with a completely straight face.
