Vanilla furry
10 years ago
I continue to be amazed by how quickly furries go from “Hi :3 want to chat?” to “*snugs*” in a single conversation. I'm not complaining. I'm not a prude or anything. <.< >.> Furry is abnormally affectionate as far as fandoms go. What could be so innocent as a big fluffy animal person? Yeah... it has a pretty noticeable sexual side and I'm totally onboard with that. Hell, it was a big part in why I joined.
So yeah. I've got a little more RP under my belt. And I got a little more feedback on what I'm doing that's good and I'm a little faster at thinking on my feet (back, knees, a sling that one time?) while in the moment. And there are some I found who share kinks and that's awesome. And I want to do that more and I guess that's how people discover their kinks? I dunno. There might be some of mine out there that I haven't fully discovered yet. I have a short list of keywords I do like. But I still keep referring to myself as the most vanilla furry I know.
Because the fandom is where exists some of the most obscure and super specific and not-ever-something-you-would-run-into-in-normal-life fetishes. I've personally met furs who like micro/macro, inflation, goo-furries, gender swap, hypnosis, rubberfurs, leatherpups and, uh... antlers.
And here's me with my “I like TF” t-shirt. Well, so does like everybody else. TF is actually super common.
And BDSM. Super common in the normal gay community (*chuckles* “normal” gay community) as well, but I'm.. totally neutral when it comes to that. I don't see myself swinging dominant or submissive at all. It makes me wonder if there's something wrong with me... Or if I have yet to meet someone that really “converts” me into liking a certain kink of theirs like I've heard happens with couples sometimes.
I wonder if things are like this in other fandoms. These niche fetishes. Because my current theory is that since so much of furry is expressed via RP or fantasy or art, etc that these kinks are more easily discovered by fans these weird super-specific predilections programmed into their brains waiting to be unlocked. Because I'm pretty sure the goo fetish is unlikely to be discovered by someone just going through their everyday life and consuming the normal mainstream pop culture. And of course, furry being the welcoming community it is, people find tolerance of their kinks (to an extent) no matter how weird. And then they're there to stay.
Like I am.
