Furry Meme (since everyone's doing it...)
16 years ago
GENERAL
*Are you a furry?
Yes.
*If you have a Spouse/SO - Is he/she a furry too?
Not applicable
*How long have you been in the community?
Since the 5th grade, so...(mathing)...around 14-15 years?
*How did you find furry?
My interest in the Sonic the Hedgehog Archie Comics (stopped reading after issue 60) led me to Teamartail.com and quickly to yerf.com
*What's your reason for furry (what interested you to get into the community)?
Originally, the art and stories (started reading at Miavir's Treasure Chest of Assorted Furriness). Now, it's the lulz and drama.
*What's Furry to you?
A simple affinity for anything involving anthropomorphic creatures (all furry is anthro, but not all anthro is furry. eg. Brave Little Toaster).
*If someone found out you're a furry and asked you about it how would you respond?
I'd either say the same thing I just said above, or go into an hour and a half lecture and somehow end up in front of a podium...even in the middle of the woods.
*What are your favorite aspects of our community?
The level and entire scope of the community's combined creativity.
*Do you use any furry terms? (i.e. yiff, paws, murr?)
I once caught myself saying "paw-off"...ONCE...
*What do you wish furry was NOT associated with?
Pedophilia and Bestiality/Zoophilia. As far as I'm concerned, willing participants of those should die in a fire on public television. Also, Bestiality and Zoophilia has, in many cases, grown together.
*How strongly do you feel about someone bashing the community as a whole?
Is this the face of someone who cares?
*How strongly do you feel about anyone bashing you yourself for your interest based on the media's aspect of what furry is?
I'd be willing to enter into an intellectual discussion to examine their expression of hostility towards me, specifically, and to ascertain if I'm really the one they're targeting or if I'm just a generic target for their hostility towards the community as a whole.
*We all know furries have a lot of sexual aspects in this fandom, What's your opinion on it?
People will enjoy what they enjoy. What's important is that people understand that the community means different things to different people and that not everyone focuses on the sexual aspects.
PERSONAL
*What is/are your fursona(s)?
Tuxedo Tomcat, Fuzzy Armadillo
*Do you have any fetishes that pertain to the fandom?
Specifically to the fandom, I'd have to say tails. I have a thing for curves.
*If you could magically morph into your fursona would you?
Only with the assurance that I could switch between my character(s) and myself at will.
*Do you believe you have a spirit animal?
No, but I do find many of my mannerisms and general behavior closely similar to that of the domestic house cat.
*What other fanbases/groups are you a part of?
Magic the Gathering, MST3K (Misties Unite!), Dr. Steel's Toy Soldier Army, and Middle Earth
*Anthro/Feral, Therian or Kemonomimi (Not a furry, just a human with animal ears and a tail)?
Don't quite understand this not-question. Assuming it asks what I prefer, I prefer Anthro, but cartoonish-enough feral amuses me just as well.
*Are you a fursuiter? If yes, how many do you own? If No, do you ever plan on being a suiter?
No. I have a tail I made, but I don't wear it anymore.
*How many of your friends are furry?
About half. Of the friends I associate face-to-face on a regular basis, about a third at most.
*How many pets do you own, if any?
Eight. 7 cats (Sierra, Jasmin, Sandy, Merlin, Ditto, Smudge [the only male...and he's so flaming], and Delilah. 1 Rabbit officially named Clover, but we all just call her "Rabbit"...I call her Damn Rabbit [one-eyed bitch chewed through half my electronic cords!])
*Aside from furry what other interests do you have?
Sonic games for the Genesis, Magic the Gathering, Foreign Languages (specifically the writing systems), Blacksmithing, Tensegrity Engineering (think Epcot Center), Steampunk Engineering, Philosphy, Logic, True Communism (not "those commie bastards"), and Experimental Science.
*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?
I've attended Anthrocon '04 and '05, back when I had student loan refund checks to waste.
*Do you go to local meetups(bowling, public outings...etc)?
If I have the gas to drive into town, yes.
*Have you ever attended a furry party? If no, would you attend one?
I went to Sorin's Tea Party at AC '05. That was a hoot. I also hosted a "Furry Night" at my college to educate people about what Furry is. My RA friend had to do a public event and couldn't think of anything. It would have been nice...but I put the wrong date on the fliers. (mixed up the day of the week and the date. Hardly anyone showed up, but we still had fun.)
ONLINE
*Have you ever met up with a fur you talked to online?
Four: Danruk, Os, Emerald, and a friend who doesn't have a specific character.
*What furry websites do you attend?
FA (obviously), and lulz.net/furi mostly. When I need porn, I usually go to e621.net or furpiled.com
*What non furry websites do you frequent?
DA, facebook, omniglot.com, wimp.com, instructables.com, Nostalgia Critic, and Angry Video Game Nerd.
*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 helped me meet new and interesting friends. It's taught me that an single group of people can hold people of impressive intellect and creativity as well as people who shouldn't be allowed in public.
*Are you a furry?
