omg yes

that rex doe </3 im sorry man! you are special!

-High fives- Keep rocking those scales.

Poor.. poor rex.. so special... so sad...

OMG 1000 watchers i iz almost popufur LOVE MEEE!!!

The second you hit 1000, you transform into an unsightly power hungry monster, don'tcha know? :P

*godzilla is power hungry monster too now*

lol I should have been meaner the second I crossed that line then!

Yes I'm a very unique foxtaur fursona

Poooor rex :c

Also Watchers ≠ Quality :)

fox is like default go to if not a wolf--then years later many find more things to add/subtract/etc. with 'em :)

always fun seeing those mindsets happen though XD

No one should ever be like the furries talking here. It's rude and mean in my opinion. My characters probably aren't as unique as a closed species or something but I still love and am proud of them.

I know what you mean. Some people don't want to be special snowflakes - they don't want to stand out - they just want to be happy with their own character.

Absolutely. My main female sona is Angel (snow leopard) and my main male sona, Gabriel (starry wildcat). I'm still working on his closed species. He's the stare of my mature book I'm gonna write.

I prefer when people are themselves.

Yeah no one should be like this, but some people are jerks.

So true. It's sad but true.

THE REX OH NO ;_;

Yeah pretty much...but I have run across this in pretty much everything. People tend to have stupid standards in general.

This is comically accurate. Funny, sad, but true.

The Rex one hits home.

I dun gettit tho since everyone only has GOD DAMN RAPTORS
They complain about us even if there's really just a huge lack of T-rexes >:V

Haha. I'mma raptor. ;v;

But I will make more rexes!

I don't mind it, though I wonder how it comes that everyone says T-rexes are unoriginal and all that when virtually no one uses one. At least not feral ones (Seriously, 3/4 rexes i see are anthro.) I guess it's because it's the go-to dinosaur when you're like 6 years old or something? I don't even know.

Pepol mek no sense

I might be a raptor buy I have a bunch of other dinos too. Honestly after Jurassic park raptors became the wolves of the fandom. There seems to be a high ratio of them.

^ This. Especially after Jurassic World, where raptors took center stage. n_n

They also took center stage in the other movies. though in 3 the real center stage was the spinosaurous. the rest of the time the main serious threat to individuals was the raptors.

God. I hated that movie, won't lie. The raptors were neat tho.

Yeah, it had alot of hit n miss reviews by people; to each their own :)

YES TT_TT I remember explaining I was a rex and EVERYONE was a raptor!!! You're not alone!! Why can't we live in peace?

So true. I made a raptor last year, suddenly EVERYONE HAS ONE :c

Hah, I dunno what my dinosona would be. (I have no 'sonas. But they'd be taxonomically categorized if I did.) Probably an herbivore, though. If you get flack for being a T. rex, I can only imagine what Triceratops or a Hadrosaur might get... XD

;Claps; Real logic right there bud. <3

Totally true and well explain. I think that I'm a bit special too but this is what I love *make the difference and enjoy the variety*, I don't care about the popularity but more about what I want and what I choose to do. And a lot of peoples try to be special and do the same =3. In the end we have all different kind of thoughts ( and the most important *meet amazing peoples*)

Fuck the haters!

As somebody with 1800 watchers I think anybody with 1799 or less is garbage! Completely unacceptable! :D

It's just how it works after all! The number literally makes you transform. There is no other explanation.

As a fan of transformation I approve ;) as a member of this community not so much... hopefully I have avoided that, I try to stay under the radar.

sad but true

so much this! haven't encountered them personally, but saw them often enough from the sidewalk. and the results of the mentioned critics about someone's fursona.

funny, everybody critics foces and t-rexes, but the vast pride of lions? not a single word... XD they be afraid of us? *looks predatorically innocent*

*waves innocently* I'm a house cat with a bionic arm *glitches mid wave* no one likes robotics but her arm can be removed she's an amputee

I love cyborg parts! Instantly can make a character way more unique :) I got a cyborg mandalorian (humanoid) female myself ^_^ Also, Scorp29's Abyss has a robotic leg too :) There's robolove, just not alot get attention for it ^_^

Most if not all of these can pertain to outside the furry fandom as well.. It's sad really. :\
Though I'll admit that I'm a bit guilty of the very last one.. Not in the sense that they must be some rude person but in the sense that if they're popular then they're intimidating because in comparison I'm a nobody. xD;

Yeah i have that intimidation factor when i look at more popular individuals. and when you comment on something andthey respond its the senpai noticed me thing but sometimes its the oh god what do i say to not make an ass of myself. I know personally theres some artists and individuals itd like to get to know better but im afraid they take it as me trying to take advantage of those things.

^ Exactly this right here.
There's been a few artists that I'd like to get to know better or interact with more because of common interests or such but I fear that they'll assume I'm trying to get chummy with them for free stuff.
Although I'd much rather pay for art rather than receive gifts, especially from a friend. Any opportunity to be able to toss some money their way to help them out.

I even get this, so don't worry. I know how you feel there. XD

Eh i be your friend if you wanna be mine other than tht i couldnt care less i like/follow what i like /follow but i usually lurk being a 3rd shifter i also sleep alot

It's so true tho

Love this comic, VERY relatable. Great job on it btw! I'm glad you're willing to point out the bullshit, some people are afraid to because of backlash. And if this 'Offends' anyone chances are they are one of THESE types of Furries.

Lol yeah. I don't really care if it offends anyone because this is aimed at a type of people who constantly whine about people and say everything is terrible... yet... they're just making it a whole lot worse. XD I'd be merely offending the offensive people.

Fricken love this xD

You have over 1000 watchers...you's a MONSTER ARRRRGHHHH D=

I AM THE EMBODIMENT OF EVIIIIL.


But wait...
You have more!

SHhhh...we dont want to up my ego >.>

My ego will eat all others if you give it any attention. =O

The danger level is through the roof.

If we combine our watcher-power, we can topple that demon of fame! <:U But the city will be destroyed in the process.. *stares blankly out through the rainy window. To the collateral-damage-to-be*

The world wouldn't be able to handle such a transformation.

Well it wouldn't be THAT much bigger then what you got already, I'm not that popu ;p Maybe a county extra, at most XD

Don't forget the "Your fursona is this species so you MUST be this stereotype we created".

Oh, lord. That's always fun, and accurate! (I wish I could visibly dunk my statement in a vat of sarcasm juice. ;) )

In a fandom that complains about being stereotyped, we invented our own within it because redundancy!

Yeah, I have noticed that too. :\ For a group of people who are often socially awkward, looked down upon, and outcast, a number of our little group sure loves to beat up on others within its own circle. Strange.

Its part of the human condition. we group and devide. the sad part is most people make their steryotypes true thus they continue. its just like how people streyotype nationalities or race or gender.

People usually just assume my creature is a dragon first.

Haha, I can understand. People usually assume I am a JP velociraptor too.

Haha! Yup, all of this. Some random guy at a con came up to our group and asked what we all were. Turns out: one wolf, one cat, and three hybrids. He made fun of wolf and cat for being common, and he made fun of hybrids for being "unique snowflakes trying to get attention." Meanwhile, he was some obscure species, and while he was the one obviously running around for attention, we noticed the entire con that he was almost always alone. No friends. Must be a sad life being that much of a hater. ;D

The way I see it, I'm curious about someone's species, but I'm more curious why they chose it! ^.^ Presumably, it gives at least a bit of insight into who they are. I think that's cool and want to know more about the choice. ^.^

Well that and the music they listen to the art they enjoy and what they do in general past times can help get a soldi understanding as to who they are. I personally think musics a glimpse at the soul myself. Heavy rap music may indicate a very troubled soul. Rock may indicate an angry soul or one in distress... ANd im starting to ramble SORRY!

Hehe, no prob! I agree with you that those can provide glimpses into aspects of character, too. :) I was just focusing on the positive views of species choice, since that was the original subject. ^.^

Yeah, those types usually don't attract many friends with that attitude... then continue to post things like "Why no1 like me?" and it's just kinda sad. XD I see it all the dang time on Facebook. Most of the posts are complaints about everyone and just overall negativity, then straight after it's "Everyone must be loosers for not liking me." kinda deal.

I agree though. I love learning about species and even more so, their lore!

My that's a mighty large projector he hand in his mouth
Green too, a spinach shading shaded grouse

Omg. Yes. Lol. This is so true, Halo!

Completely...true i swear :D

Seen all of these in reality.

Yeah, too real! I feel like I get Number three a lot, especially since the sub limit before people stop being like "k thx by" is likely around 10k-100K

Might've taken this seriously and enjoyed the quality comic, but you have over 1000 followers :/

That's the joke lol

I don't get why some furries do this to others.

My fursona is not a fox! He's a vulap! It's my own custom species that is totally like, different and stuff, and is definitely not basically a fox by a different name. Nope. Totally unique. :V

So true unfortunetly, people are just never happy X3
Thankfully haven't run into any problems with my species despite being an odd one :P

Where is the lie....

That Rex...must hug... O.=.O
Most adorable Rexxie... ^^

*Looks at his watches* Am I really that hard to approach?

So much this

UGH U R SO ROOD MAKING THIS COMIC! UNWATCH! UNSUB! BLOCK U 5EVR.

No, I lie but this is funny shit right here. <3

I'm new to the fandom and I have noticed some of these things. Everybody needs to lighten up and let everyone have a good time!

Star trek is superior!
Men are inferior!
Stupid bronies!
Sick furries!
Folk is fruity,
Metal 4 eternity!
LARP, lol as if,
DnD, you I crit!
Whiney libtard!
Alty neckbeard!
White is right;
Death to the infidel!

Oh honest truth you kill me

I'll say these things.
First: A fursona can look basic but it's the story behind the character or their abilities that makes them unique, prime example, my sona. He looks basic and average but there's a heck of a lot more to him. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17958230 that's him.
Second: Every animal is special in some way *offers the Rex a big hug*
As for the third and fourth panels: As a photographer with over 300 watchers (I totally never expected to get that many) A peson can have all the watchers in the world and that doesn't determine that they're rude disrespectful people. I know of quite a few artists with well over 1,000 watchers that are truly awesome people and you're one of them.

Oh my.. poor guy, I know some of this lmao
some people just not let my first wolf fursona have peace lmao
And now I noticed that at even 'kiriban' I turn in a werething/monster!!! OOMMMMGGG RUUNNN!!! 8V

These are so adorable!

It's too true. The true. It huuurts. Aaagh.

Is cute tho.

Ayup, contrary folks abound!

Yeah, this really shows that there are still a lot of people who do not look past the surface and go deeper into the person, their craft, how they got into the Fandom, what they aim to achieve on the site, what they...well, you get the idea. This time, I'll reply to each frame separately, each reflecting a point that I think people guilty of this need to understand:

1. Foxes might be frequent, but no two foxes are ever the same. And you don't have to look very hard to prove this. :3
2. Rexes, while uncommon, can be unique just as any other species can be, especially if you value character development.
3. The vast majority of creators who aren't well known deserve your attention, especially if they're striving to improve and get themselves out there.
4. I've met some popular Furs on and off FA who have let fame go to their head and turned into some of the most selfish and arrogant people you'll ever come across. But that isn't always the case; just as there are some horrible people who have become popular, so there are plenty of lovely ones out there too. :3

All that said, the fact and the matter is that these people need to lighten up. Have they forgotten why they got into the Furry Fandom in the first place? :p

"Still?" With current approach to fostering kids, there would be more and more of them.
Tbh, I think that majority of people, furry or not, currently act like that. Replace fursone by FB or twitter profile or income number and job kind and you get same picture...

I love that the fox doesn't give a shit xP

This rex makes me so sad!

I actually felt kinda guilty over picking a dragon fursona (scalesona? dracosona?) because we're so common in the fandom.

However, here's the fact.

I like dragons.

That's the only justification I need to be one.

If I factor in popularity for any reason I've automatically lost :/

Oh my gosh this is so true I'm glad O save it to read it in a good quality time!

Daaaw, I just love the t rex face <3

nu he made the rex cry :C

Some people thinks that I have power over FA, e621, inkbunny and other furry sites just because I'm a ''popufur'', lol.

Your work with expressions really impress me, the sad face of the rex and the friendly artist, just trying to sell some nice art and gets shouted at for nothing. It truely makes me feel sad, poor guys.
Some people may think they have "standards", but are just arrogant and rude in the end. It's really sad indeed.

i hate when that happens
