Okay, time to finally come out with it and come clean lol. I am the anti-furry of sorts. at least for the stereotypes. I see a lot of junk goin on at cons and online that I just shake my head at. So it's about time I let some of this out. First off, I'm an ass, I will call out bullshit, manipulate the system, and not do what is expected if I think what is expected is retarded.

Disclaimer: I do love the furry fandom for the most part, and I have nothing against homosexuality or self-expression. My rant here is just my personal miffs about the fandom and should not be taken as a personal attack. These are my preferences. All negative comments or attempts to "convince" me I'm wrong will be laughed at, then deleted. These are opinions people. XD

1) Why do I get gay art? Simple, because the fury fandom is all about porn and a good majority are gay porn hounds. SO, I know in order to get my character well known quick, I commission or agree with other friends who wanna use my character in such art. SO, add more than one dick in a pic, people will like it and pass it along. So predictable XD

2) Okay, I'm a fursuiter and I like to entertain and get noticed; but I don't hop on bandwagons; especially when they as silly as these. What's with the silly little girl's backpacks these suiters are wearing now. I'm seeing more each con; hopefully this fad goes away soon. )other annoying fursuiter gimmicks... roller shoes, the SQUEEKER!)

3) Just because your out at a con, doesn't give you an excuse to look retarded. We are trying to make the fandom look good and put forth a good example when we are in public; so that hotels will have us back and so the public wont associate as freaks that need to be interviewed (and damn it, why cant we get the weirdest of us away from reporters??). Hint: if you're being interviewed at a convention, then it's probably okay. If you're being interviewed at your home/community; it's probably because your neighbors or something reported you are weird.
So, stop walking around convention wearing sleeping pajamas, stop walking around in sex gear, stop walking around in HALF DRAG (those guys that just buy a skirt, but still in sneakers/flipflops and a teeshirt, and don't even try to pull it off), stop making cat/cutesie noises to hotel staff. If you're not in a fursuit, then running along the floor and chasing a ball/laser pointer (outside of some actual game) makes you look like someone needing to be put away; not cute. And just don't dress retarded and wear something like church shoes, jean shorts, Renaissance shirt/fuzzy jacket/whatever, and even silly rainbow or whatever striped arm/leg warmers! If you're over 20, you should know better. It's not a form of you're self expression (mister "I'm away from my parents so I'm gunna show whats Ive been wanting to wear all this time"), it's you having no common dressing sense and not being able to tell what looks good. (I know I'm not gunna get people to stop wearing bells or a collar or tails or whatever; I can see that as a form of fursona trying to be expressed outward... or just to let everyone know you're a sub XD)

4) Lisps! OMG people, stop it. Efemininity I can kinda understand with body chemistry to a degree. But stop the lisps. 99% of you weren't born with it, and at 13, your body didn't switch over to talking funny when you found out you wanted dick; you're doing it on purpose.

Also, IN GENERAL, if I know you're sexuality in the first 30 seconds of meeting you, YOU ARE ANNOYING. That goes for lisping and flaming rainbows everywhere and talking about guys that are hot or watching wrestling for the asses or "look at all that meat" and "Id suck his dick" when seeing a picture types, to the other side where a guy has mudflaps with silhouettes of naked women that can't stop taking about wanting to see the cheerleaders or wanting to eat at Hooters and constantly staring at women and talking about wanting to peek in their changing room..... both people are annoying and immature and should just go hide in a basement somewhere jacking off forever and alone until they can come back and act, talk, and present themselves as a deeper human being.

5) In the fandom, and at convention, there is a great combination of different cultures and backgrounds, and beliefs. So, it is not the place to assume everyone thinks like you and spout off stuff about other beliefs. Simple courtesy rules when at a party or in a large group is to avoid (and definitely don't start!) a conversation on politics or religion. Stereotyping is wrong! Don't assume that every furry is gay, atheist, liberal, pot/whatever-smoker, and wants to screw! And, if you get in a conversation about religion or politics, unless the person is in a mood or wants to debate their side, DO NOT try and tell them why you think their view is retarded. There are millions of people in the world with the same views, so its not just their personal craziness. AND, realistically speaking, Don't be a tard and keep at your view in an attempt to "convince" them they are wrong; you're not going to convince them to change their view in a weekend, let alone an hour or so of a party.

6) PUBLIC!! When going out to a restaurant (that is not prepared for a furry meet and accepts it), that is not the time to wear you're tails and ears. Again, that's not self expression, it's immaturity and being/looking unable to tell what looks like a short buss just let out and a bunch of people 18 and older walking around like 5-7yos and the people at the restaurant just make fun of ya all night to their coworkers while trying to keep a professional demeanor (like a real person) in front of you. Again, this just makes us look bad and immature to the rest of the world. If, however, this place is the setting for regular furry meets (which is where a representative called them and asked if it was okay), then tails and whatever, and even fursuits are fine. But for places that just happen to be near a convention; don't. A fursuit is a finished costume and people can accept is as a costume/part of an act or entertainment; a 22yo walking in with a tail or bells or whatever is just listed in their mind under the "freak" category.
ALSO, DO NOT BE PROUD OF"SCARING OFF THE NORMAL PEOPLE!!

7) Just a fashion tip. Tails can be amusing and a nice expression of your furriness or fursona (within a con), and even footpaws and handpaws. But an adult man with a human face that is wearing animal ears on a head band..... ya just look, well, just know the more seasoned and mature furries are laughing quietly to themselves. (accept for the dom predators, they look for that because its a sign of a simple mind that is probably a sub and easily gotten to a room;just like a large ass cat bell does). Some of us may have tried it when we first got in the fandom, but later we grew up and realized it wasn't cute or attractive or making you look like an animal, and then we stopped.

8) Enough with the PDAs! Listen, I'm not against two guys or two girls or whoever making out and showing their affection to one another. But don't be sucking face in public. Don't think it's me joining the bandwagon to hide gays from public. Straight couples shouldn't be making out in public either. And for those saying "oh, i wanna move to a more accepting state; everyone here looks at me funny/judgingly when me and my bf make out or hold hands." First off, they are looking at you weird because no regular person wants to see that; straight or gay, it's an intimate act that should be done only in private. As for the holding hands, again, not just against the gays; nothing more annoying that seeing couples constantly gushing over each other in public (if you have ever had to walk behind a couple holding hands in the mall, or ones talking baby talk and cutesy things back and forth... you know what I mean).
However, hugs and a peck on the cheek or even a quick kiss on the lips as you are meeting or departing is fine and expected of couples. But if it lasts more than a second or two, people around you will be uncomfortable.

9) Talk like a grown up if you want respect. No baby talk, adding animal noises constantly, and in general, "life-styling" over kill will I ever deal with.

10) For those that are the "ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO FIND A MATE CUZ I WILL NEVER BE WHOLE WITHOUT ONE AND MY LIFE IS MEANINGLESS AND i CRY AND AM ALWAYS DEPRESSED BECAUSE EVERYONE I GO AFTER (which can be anyone that gives them the time of day) JUST BREAKS MY HEART AND I/M JUST UGLY AND USELESS AND I WONT CHANGE MYSELF".... types..... just stop.... I can't tell you how many times I've herd some 20-something kid blither and say that they will never find love because they are 26 and without a mate and that will be the pattern for the rest of their life. OR those that just are constantly trying to get a mate and force themselves around that person (in person or online/text) and then tell EVERYBODY they love them and when logical people say "what the hell?" they cry and act all immature and never change their whiny, immature, sending constant face pics and crying because you don't tell them they are cute or whatever, illogical and simple minded "i just want to play with balls and get cuddles and someone to run over and cuddle me whenever it storms... (to people they have been talking to for like 3-4 days),.... GAH!
Okay, since the first malady is the only one that might listen and change their ways, they are who I will address. STOP LOOKING FOR A MATE TO MAKE YOU HAPPY AND WHOLE!! you're not gunna find a lasting partner that is worth it unless you are someone that is worth it. Until you learn to be okay with yourself and be able to make your own happiness and be a COMPLETE individual on your own, THEN you will be ready and attractive to someone that can make things last and be equally healthy and loving. If you are incomplete and a mess and call yourself worthless, then who would want that?? Would you want someone that was constantly whining and putting themselves down and incomplete and a mess? A relationship works both ways; don/t expect to get a great, full package mate unless you are the full package yourself. Get your life together, get your moping, emotions, and act under control, learn to be happy about who you are, and to be self-reliant. Then you are ready for a partner. And you don/t have to scower the net/world for a mate, if you're a great person, then it will just happen naturally.

11) Keep your fetishes to yourself. Now listen folks, i know that everyone has different turn ons and kinks and gear and ways of getting off by themselves or another (or more), and that's TOTALLY fine. But in an open area like a con.... don't blurt it out to the public or be wearing very obvious fetish gear. If at a party that isn't a sex party,... again, don't blurt it out to the public or be wearing very obvious fetish gear. If sitting beside someone at a panel... don't talk about the rubber and fisting party you just came from and that you cant sit too long because the but plug you have in you RIGHT NOW is irritating.... If you're in an elevator, don't lean against the person beside you so they can hear you "crinkle" or so you can exclaim "uut ooohhh..." so they know u just shat yourself in there (if only I was joking....). DO NOT exclaim rather loudly that "dog cock is so muurrrr" while your host's parents are not even 10 feet away in the same kitchen..... (yes this has happened!!!).
Now, if the person starts off or has some very obvious tells or conversation that makes it obvious that it would be okay to talk about fetish subjects with them (as long as quiet if it's just you two), then that's fine. Or, if you are at a fetish or a very sexual party, or in bed with someone in a sexual situation, then, again, that's an alright time for someone else to know what you're into.....

To be continued...
