I've actually seen some people bash wolves saying how unoriginal they were, yet those same people had another overused fursona species. Huskies are not better. Haven't you noticed? I mean darn, people even like to post photos of their Siberian huskies all over the place just to flaunt to all the other furries that they have ~*THE MOST MAJESTIC DAWG EVAR <3*~
Huskies aren't special, sorry.

Yes, expressing frustration with overused species and encouraging people to branch out towards other animals (because wolves/foxes/huskies are not the only animals on the planet) is supporting diversity in species. I'm quite aware that we tend to be portray it in an offensive manner, but we are planning on submitting pictures that promote underrated animals, as apposed to bashing the horrible overpopulated ones.
Horrible logic is horrible. You cannot compare humankind racism and oppression to the animal species furries pick as their fursonas on the internet.
1) A person's race is something they cannot help, and thousands of people everyday in REAL LIFE are being discriminated against because of their race.
2) A furry and a fursona are imaginary characters, and people purposely pick out the same species over and over because they find the species attractive, and want to fit in. Plus it's the furry fandom and the internet, not REAL LIFE racism towards ACTUAL human beings.
And before you say we are being "racist" towards "species", if you had read our page, you'd see that we do not hate canines or any species in general. We're just sick of seeing people pick the same animal over and over. It makes to fandom dull, and a little less enjoyable.

If you're doing it 'in an offensive manner' you're not doing any diversity supporting, you're just a group bashing on stuff that's popular. The fact your icon is what it is instead of some diversity supports your groups hypocritical image. Besides, you really think anyone is going to change their fursona's for the sake of mixing it up?
We never said that anyone had to change their fursona. We're simply expressing our frustration with how unoriginal and bland people are with their characters. If they're happy with their fox/wolf fursona, we're not going to try to FORCE them to change it (hence we don't condone in trolling individuals), however we are free to express our opinion, whether it hurts your e-feelings or not.
e-feelings are not an issue. Trust me, my feelings aren't hurt. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy in your "mission statement" and your icon, which basically sais "NO FOXES!" to everyone that sees it. You're a bunch of butthurt furries that want FA in your image with no creative freedom in a user's choice to make a character in their own image.
Doesn't bother me in the slightest. I just find it amusing/retarded that a group supposedly supporting diversity is just bashing popular stuff. If your group name was 'Bitch-about-popular-species' then I wouldn't have anything to point out; you'd of mentioned upfront how juvenile this group is.
They want FA to be in their image! How DARE those other furries and their free choice!
...we should make them all pick from a bulleted list of "under-used" and "under-rated" animal types so the group can be happy! :3 Cause I totally wanna be something other than what I actually want. I should pick what they want so that they stop seeing canines on FA!

Then perhaps you should read back on our earlier post, that read "we are planning on submitting pictures that promote underrated animals, as apposed to bashing the horribly overpopulated ones."
Also, that's perfectly fine if we don't anyway~ After all, 90% of the fandom are all the same animal species and will most likely baww about our group. That doesn't change the point that we're getting across.

Yeah i've heard an arguement on second life, how wolves are so over used and huskys are hardly used so the person I was talking to was like 'thats why i'm a husky I want to be unique' ....yeah huskys are domesticated dogs...ofcourse they are going to be used just as much as wolves +1 favourite
So your against huskies? why not be against Western Dragons. there's so many of them running around, it would be just as good a "target" for your "dislike" as of such. But then, Best not make Dragons mad.
Besides, what species are you. You cleverly hide your real account from view. which is never a good thing for a group to do.

I think the person running this account either give up on it (I know I would) or realized they were being speciest...or couldn't deal with the hate....or all the above...because everything is at least a year old....
So what if if canines/canids are popular? ea, sure other species are cool too but, no need to hate on something just because it's popular.
Haters gonna hate! And FYI I'm only half fox...other half being meerkat = meerfox.is that "Diverse" enough for you? am I "Special" now? Of course I am...it's "MY" fursona not YOURS so why should I give a fuck? XD LOL
So much hate....I'm gonna love and tolerate the shit out of you!!

hehe i support this group people with a brain can can understand that this group is trying to get people out of the norm not to offend others xd when i was making my sona i wanted to be a dragon but then i thought there way to many dragons plus if i were to be one i had to make it uber unique and so i went with croc and then split that down to change color and some features so i look unique in total :3
I agree with your cause entirely, and kudos! I love the idea of bringing more species into the light of the furry fandom :D
but I think your starting off with a much too negative, methods. I do admit, it's doing a fine job of getting you noticed, but your giving off a horrible first impression. I incline you at least start getting that idea promoting more unpopular species out there soon so this doesn't get labelled as a hate group and crippled from the start ^=^
We're not here to HATE on popular species, right?
we're here encourage more diversity! So let's do that :]

dont get me wrong my best friend is a husky
i love all animals
my first fursona is a tiger wolf jackal hybrid who i created years ago before i came here but eventually it get annoying
"oh im a black wolf named shadow"
there's like a million foxes,wolves,and huskies a majority are black and named shadow who claim to be original
but eh some people say all furries are wolves because ignorance is bliss
but we are all special and should accept everyone no matter what species

I'm sorry but I disagree with this page...who cares what people are, when creating a sona it should come from the heart not what other people think. Calling original canines overused and overrated is being judgmental. My sona is a grey wolf and I worked very hard to create him with my artistic abilities and emotions...I guess I'm "Overrated" and "Not Original". in my opinion it is kind of rude to point out to others their flaws in sona choice, others should go with what they feel inside. The way I look at this is that you're saying that others don't have the competency to create their own unique style. Excuse them for not having the "same level of artistic originality that you wish they possess or that you have". Not everyone is "As creative as you!" Canines are original, just because some look similar to one another doesn't mean they are not original. when you look at real animals, any species takes on similarities to one another. It shouldn't matter to you. Just ignore those that "YOU" think are "not original" I think I've said my piece and don't think I'm going to help you spread the word about your frustration, those kinds of feelings should be kept to yourself.

Just to let you know, my fiance and I whole heartedly disagree with this idea. We both have read through the faq or your faq and the way you are stating it comes off as trying to prove that it's a fact... your faq are NOT facts they are simply YOUR opinions. I can understand that there needs to be a little bit of originality, but that doesn't mean that certain species are being over used. Everyone is original. You may notice that there is an over population of wolves, foxes, whatever.... however they are ALL thought up independently and creatively different from each other hence... ORIGINALITY.

I mainly agree with this perspective of thinning the herds a little and having a rather mixed color platte instead of coloring everything in red, white, gray, and brown. It's fine if you choose to have a natural or traditional design for your character, we're not judging you guys it's just that we think it's a little generic and cliche that an abundance of individuals specifically choose certain species because they want to. There's nothing wrong with that, it's just the opium of the masses.
Canids, Felids, Angel Dragons, Western Dragons too, I will admit, foxes, sharks, and sergals. Next up would be otters, but because they're a little bit lower, I'll give them a close call. But honestly, this could apply to any species or fursona, it doesn't necessarily have to imply anything against it in the first place.
I support this group.
