Note about 'furryousity'
9 years ago
Ku!
At the last time our Russian furry-fandom literally "stands on the ears" because of the question "Furry or not furry?". This story touched many artists (may be you heard about Gorsha_Pendragon) including me.
Sooooo, I'd like to clarify one point for you and for myself.
I like furries.
Furry is very pleasant and funny subculture that helps me to meet new people and friends from all over the world. I like to communicate with you, learn your news and draw your characters (they are all amazing and unique).
But who's the furry?
Wikifur says:
"Predominantly, it (furry) means "consisting of or resembling fur". It also pertains to an interest in anthropomorphic animals and/or mythological or imaginary creatures which possess human or superhuman capabilities.
People in the fandom tend to identify closely with their avatars (or fursonas), the word is often used to mean a group of furry characters in art or roleplay."
If we gather together all the information we realize that furry is a people who identify themselves with their anthropomorphic characters. And this is the main feature. (Other features are usual for any subculture: gatherings, suits and etc.).
So, what I am talking about.
I don't identify myself with my OC. It is just smth like mascot for me. My OCs have their personal stories, features and etc.
I don't have furry stuff.
I don't meet furry-gatherings.
And so on.
Yeah, I draw anthros for you and sometimes for myself. But it's not mean that I'm a furry. %D
If I sometimes draw a sea it doesn't make me the marine painter.
If I once drove a motorcycle it doesn't mean that I'm a biker.
I have a guitar at home but I'm not a musician. :3
So... Treat me simply as "attendant".
I can provide you with posters, badges, ACEOs with anthros and their furry-owners and so on; yeah, I'm an element of your fandom but not an equivalent of it.
Thank you for you attention. <3
I hope I did not offend you.
