Furry Meme, because I can
16 years ago
I have come to eat your soul.
That meme that seems to be floating around.
*Are you a furry?
Yes, I like to think of myself as a furry lifestyler
*If you have a Spouse/SO - Is he/she a furry too?
Yes meet via sites like this one, although there are somethings I wonder at times.
*How long have you been in the community?
28 years... geez it's been a long time.
*How did you find furry?
Xanadu, Albedo, and Red Shetland comics, as well as the Palladium Fantasy RPG for me.
*What's your reason for furry (what interested you to get into the community)?
I rather enjoy meeting and talking with people who have similar interests.
*What's Furry to you?
A group of people with similar interests who all tend to be really nice and wonderful friends.
*If someone found out you're a furry and asked you about it how would you respond?
I am a furry as I am a fan of the art, stories, community support and other positive things, not the sub-faction that centers around the more...ahem.. adult aspects.
*What are your favorite aspects of our community?
The fact that as compared to other communities we tend to get along better with each other then most.
*Do you use any furry terms? (i.e. yiff, paws, murr?)
Depends on where I am in public, not really. At home and with other furries yes I will, although I never got the whole making animal sounds thing.
*What do you wish furry was NOT associated with?
Pedo and bestiality stuff for the most part... I also try to wish to try and make sure that furries are not automatically labels as perverts and sexual deviants. After all we need to judge people for there own actions and behavior, NOT what groups they associate with.
*How strongly do you feel about someone bashing the community as a whole?
Freedom of speech is what this country (USA) was founded on. So your okay to state those things, but when you try to put others down for expressing there own freedom of speech your also insulting the very country your in and what makes it great... well that's if your American.
*How strongly do you feel about anyone bashing you yourself for your interest based on the media's aspect of what furry is?
Bashing me is fine, hell I got a whole section dedicated to me on Encylopdia Dramatica (90% of it is pure lies to), and I take it all in stride. However there is only one thing that will ever get me mad, and that is you bash on and hurt one of my friends for no good reason. That is when I get pissed.
*We all know furries have a lot of sexual aspects in this fandom, What's your opinion on it?
Every fandom has there own sexual aspects, hell I can't go to a Star Trek convention these days without seeing some art suggesting Kirk and Spock where gay for each other, or something depicting Data and Yarr in some compromising position. So I take it all in stride.
Personal
*What is/are your fursona(s)?
My current and main one (due to a personal decision I made recently) has the name I used in the fandom for years, Typhon and is a anubian jackal, the reason is that I love egyptology always have and always will. Now Typhon started out as a gryphon necromancer, which is fine but only because at the time I wanted something unique. Now on to characters I concisder my alt fursonas.
Typhon, Gryphon necromancer and emperor. He started out as a RPG character ( wolfen in Palladium games) then became the gryphon we all know and love (well I love him) via internet roleplay sites called MUCKs. The character while was never really considered my personal fursona became that as it was enjoyable to play a intelligent villian that wasn't a megolmaniac, and more in a time when everyone wanted to RP some good aligned character or some prince or born into it nobility. Typhon started out as a humble warrior form his clan, and earned everything from scratch through actual RolePlay that was not easy to do or pull off.
Lucus Drakeston Jr, Anthro duck with a cybernetic arm. He started out as a fan character for Might Ducks: The Animated Seiries, and is still close to me for personal reason as he is more based on some close issues to me.
There are others I might consider my fursona, but for personal reasons will remain unlisted.
*Do you have any fetishes that pertain to the fandom?
I got in to the whole BDSM thing, even discovering my Bisexual nature and a kink I like that tend to involve groups because of this fandom, so on a personal level I tend to pertain that with this fandom.
*If you could magically morph into your fursona would you?
Yes
*Do you believe you have a spirit animal?
Yes and no. No because I never really explored the area, and yes because I belive there is more out there then what we can just see with our own eyes.
*What other fanbases/groups are you a part of?
Roleplaying, Anime, Warhammer 40, and LARP.
*Anthro/Feral, Therian or Kemonomimi (Not a furry, just a human with animal ears and a tail)?
Just Anthro... that's it. Hell I;m not even sure what the other two are.
*Are you a fursuiter? If yes, how many do you own? If No, do you ever plan on being a suiter?
No, but I would love to be...
*How many of your friends are furry?
I would say 90% or more of them.
*How many pets do you own, if any?
None, as right now my rent would go up if I owned one. :P
*Aside from furry what other interests do you have?
Anime, movies, music, roleplaying, minatures, warhammer 40k, and LARP.
*Are you confident enough in yourself to say that you're a fur, no matter what the media says?
Yes
Meetups
*Do you attend any cons? If no, would you attend any cons? If yes, which cons have you been to?
Not at current but I have been to 3 AnthroCons, and 1 FurtherConfusion
*Do you go to local meetups(bowling, public outings...etc)?
I wish I did.
*Have you ever attended a furry party? If no, would you attend one?
Yes I did, I even hosted a couple.
Online
*Have you ever met up with a fur you talked to online?
Yes I did, even had a few as roommates over the years.
*What furry websites do you attend?
This one, and F4FL (not as active there as I would like, but I never been one to talk first kinda shy about that), I used to be active on MDTAS.com but that was about it.
*What non furry websites do you frequent?
Just some webcomics that might also be considerd semi-furry due to content.
*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's made me feel like I am part of a large family that is very special and close to me. If you want proof look at all the responses I got from this journal http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/970208/ which still suprises the hell out of me.
