So, Motor City Fur Con was a lot of fun and I'm sure many of us had a lot of fun doing things and enjoying the shenanigans. After meeting some people there, I wound up thinking about the topic of conventions and furmeets. I've heard about furmeets happening, but haven't ever really been to one. After spending some time on Google it became apparent that there are rarely any in Michigan. (As a side note, apparently very few furries live here.) So, following on that I've started thinking about setting one up. This brings me to why I'm here on reddit today. I've got a question for any furries in Michigan, particularly anyone within a reasonable drive of Metro Detroit. If I were to put in the legwork of setting a furmeet up, would anyone be interested in attending?

Ps: If there's interest I'll start sorting the details out. (Where, when, all that fun stuff.)

TL;DR Would anyone be interested in a furmeet near Detroit either this weekend or the weekend after?

In case you want to keep up to date on the IMVU stuff specifically, there's a tag for that now. AutoModerator will also automatically tag anything with "IMVU" in the title as "IMVU" Follow this link to see all of the tagged IMVU posts: http://www.reddit.com/r/furry/search?q=flair_text%3A%27imvu%27&sort=top&restrict_sr=on&t=month

Or, if you're sick of seeing it, you can see the hot posts from today, minus IMVU by clicking here: http://www.reddit.com/r/furry/search?q=NOT+flair%3A%27imvu%27&sort=hot&restrict_sr=on&t=day

Finally, if you have Reddit Enhancement Suite , and you don't want to see IMVU (or any other tags!) go to your RES Settings console -> Click "filter", turn filteReddit on if it's off -> scroll down to "flairs" -> add IMVU -> and then hit "save".

If you post something and you want to add a flair (please do!) slide your mouse on over to the highlighted "flair" link right below your post's title.

Heyoo I'm an artist and I'm looking to improve my skills and develop my furry style! What you can do is put a comment with a link to a refsheet or a headshot and i'll sketch out the character's head with an emotion that you give me! I may edit in a little while with an update for what I'm gonna draw so stay tuned.

Thread end; 10:30 PM EST

EDIT 9:00 EST; Things are slowed to a halt so I'm opening it up to torso as well! gotta get that body practice yo. Same deal, only this time specify the emotion and the pose!

EDIT 10:00 PM EST; Times almost up! as soon the clock strikes I'm uploading the results to my FA and closing all requests for the evening, I may do another soon however!

EDIT 10:30 EST; Closed up! Going to finish the last one for /u/Rolo_Swag and then I'll post them!

ive been seeing furry hate recently, I know most of us do but I've been seeing some of the more over the top stuff, people literally killing things to tussle our jimmies or people driving others to suicide. Why do you guys think this happens? And what are your views on furry hate gone 'too far'. I think in cases like the chlorine bomb incident people are taking a stupid internet thing to the next level, so what do you think? And are there any ways of preventing this other than to end humanity? Share some of your views.

Papabear,

I need help in a furry and I'm 17 and my mom absolutely hates furries she wont let me be one and if I even mention it she will take away all my privileges but I'm getting sad cuz I need to express myself she even checks my phone Facebook and email but she can't see this one the point is what should I do? I can’t express myself and I’m getting sadder and sadder each day.

Dear Travis,

Papabear has addressed the “coming out furry” issue many times (see under Categories on the Letters page). And, typically, the worst scenario is an underage furry whose parents are conservative and/or very religious telling their son or daughter that he or she cannot participate in the furry community.

I don’t wish to sound like a broken record, but once every now and then it is justified to take another look at this. I will try to do so, each time, while putting a new spin on things.

People like your mother tell their children not to do things because they are afraid their kids will become corrupted and their lives will spin out of control. Such fears are largely born out of ignorance. Such efforts are also futile and counterproductive, because they always end up with the child resenting the parent and then, eventually, doing what he/she wants anyway. 

The logical thing to do would be to try and educate your mother that furries aren’t so bad, but this can be very difficult to do when the “student” has a closed mind and doesn’t respect your right to be an individual.

What this means is that you need to be motivated to become an independent person who no longer has to live under the rules set up by Mommy. You are 17, soon to be 18 and of legal age. What are your plans for school? Job? It is time to stand up on your own two feet and become an adult. Once that happens, you can do what you like and not listen to Mom. In the meantime, you need to learn patience while you work for that day when you are free to be you.

If you want to be who you truly are, then the best way to do that is to no longer be dependent on other people. Become your own person; become self-sufficient; take charge of your life so others can’t take your right to the life you want.

Good luck!

Papabear
