What is F-List?

Furry Reddit - Tue 18 Feb 2014 - 03:13

What exactly is F-List? Being a furry for about 3 months or so I've heard of it but I'm kinda scared to look it up. And I'm pretty sure it's also related to sex.

So I'm new to this whole "furry" thing,

Furry Reddit - Tue 18 Feb 2014 - 01:55

Like, I decided to check it out a few days ago, and have been learning since. Well it's all fine and dandy, but I don't get a lot of these things. What is the appeal of furs suits, collars, anklets, etc etc. I don't get it. Why do you need to show off you're a furry? It looks mighty uncomfortable anyways. I'm not hating, in fact I'm sort of liking this furry stuff, but can someone explain that to me?

Furry/kin crossover?

Furry Reddit - Tue 18 Feb 2014 - 00:29

Are there any other furry types here who also identify as kinfolk? I know some furry communities deliberately try to distance themselves from kin communities. However, in my experience there's a lot more crossover than people would expect.

Anyways, I'm someone who likes to dress up my human form in dragon-ness, and make art of myself and other anthropomorphic animals. I'm also someone who feels I'm a dragon in a human shape, while being fully aware that I exist as a human.

So, anyone else a kin/therian type as well?

In-Fur-Nation - Mon 17 Feb 2014 - 18:13

Signs of the upcoming Free Comic Book Day for 2014 are beginning to show up in Previews and other places. One of the furrier ones on the horizon comes from Marvel: None other than the furries’ favorite Guardian of the Galaxy (unless you’re really into trees), Rocket Raccoon. Written by Joe Caramagna and illustrated by Adam Archer (with a cover by Skottie Young), this 32-page full-color mini-comic features the power procyonid in his own space adventure in anticipation of the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy movie this August. Digital Spy has the story. Don’t forget, Free Comic Book Day comes to a comic book shop near you on May 3rd.

Enter the Dragon: The Body Nommer

FurStarter - Mon 17 Feb 2014 - 17:43

Making all your “being ingested by a dragon” dreams come true since…uh…recently.

BTW: This post is somewhat more adult than usual, so make sure you’re older than 18 before clicking around the links here…

Dragomaw’s Body Nommer

Indiegogo ending 4/1/2014

One thing that the Internets, and crowdfunding in particular, does very well is bring highly rarified, specific interests together. No matter how specific your need is, there’s at least a facebook community for it.

I can’t imagine anyone has benefited from this more than the greater Kinkdom. If you’re into sexbots, human furniture, or clowns, your support group awaits. However, it takes special dedication and a sort of weird-ass brilliance to bring the purely imaginary into the real world, and I am, unreservedly, impressed.

dragon3And so, without further prelude, I’d like to look at what may be one of the most fascinating projects I’ve ever seen on IndieGoGo, three steps beyond ALL of Offbeatr on the kinkometer: Dragomaw’s real-life vore toys.

Dragomaw started “small,” a soft, silicon-sheathed meaty chamber that’s big enough to comfortably–depending on your definition of the word–able to devour one head. This was their “head nommer,” complete with tongue, interesting glottal ridges, and saliva. The saliva is available in both scented and unscented. There are merits to both, but I’m pretty sure I’m not ready for this level of realism in my artificial dragon slobber, I can’t handle my dog’s morning breath. Overall the look is kind of like a fleshlight that can take a cantaloupe, and then drool all over it.

dragon2In a little under a year, Dragomaw has built a virtual store, and populated it with a wide array of soft silicon strangeness, and like their website says, this is probably the closet thing available to an actual vore experience. Check their demo video for some hint of the basic throat model in action. Their older video had the  delightful phrase, “that’s why you have to lube your head up.” Well worth the price of admission.The new one is…ah…strangely fascinating, even if you’re not into the world’s biggest tonsils. It’s still hypnotic.

dragon4Dragomaw’s vore experience is pretty darn customizable, with some options for color, designs for some species options (like a star-shaped orca throat or a tighter squeeze–still safe, but a little snug, and a few different tongues–forked or flat, depending on taste.

Hah.

Oh, and a saliva pump, and all that customization is in the base package. There’s even some interesting add-ons, such as an uvula, or, depending on where you want to put your head, a butt, which leads me to the inescapable conclusion that sexuality is a richly complex and individual thing.

Anyway, back to the IGG campaign! Snaz Dragomaw, CEO of this company, has pretty much explored the dragon’s digestive tract to its logical conclusion, right? What else is there? To quote Mythbusters, let’s make it large.

dragon1Snaz’s campaign is a test for their awe-inspiring, life-sized vore experience: a snug, sleeping-bag sized medical silicon tour de throat, with detailed tongue, internal ridges, a five-foot belly, and, ultimately, a full-sized dragon head, with pointy teeth, to add that touch of “argh” to your special internalized moment. The price point may be high, at $3,500, but they’ve already sold out of the two $2500 models.

Not everybody’s cup of teeth, certainly. But a really good indication that niche market products can hold their own in the crowdfunding world, particularly if they fill a need that hasn’t been previously met…or didn’t actually seem possible to meet.

The reasoning behind choosing your fursona?

Furry Reddit - Mon 17 Feb 2014 - 16:47

This is a question I've had browsing comments of people in r/furry. Obviously, it appears that wolves and foxes seem to be particularly popular, or just the canine family in general. Then I see others post things a bit less common like horses, otters, griffins, dragons, reptiles, sharks, etc.

What I'm wondering is why? Is it a nurture and life experience thing? Are people inspired by the pets they've had growing up, a cartoon show they liked to watch, or book they've read?

For me (and as some know), the only pets I've had or known growing up were cats, but I also like cats for many reasons. I've personally never been a dog lover, even though my sister and bro-in-law have two. I've actually had some bad childhood experiences with them (like getting bitten), and also loath the amount of attention and hyper-activity some dogs demand. I love independence of cats, and how their behavior can be dictated by your own. Despite popular opinion, not all cats are assholes, and definitely can be as affectionate as any dog. However, fantasy things like griffins or dragons aren't really a subject at all...so again wondering why people gravitate to those.

Lastly, I see a mix of people drawing anatomically correct anthro animals, then I see the ultra anime stuff with street clothes, wild colors, and piercings. I'm just trying to understand the deep psychology behind the ideas and wishes that people get. I feel this could be applied to almost all things in life, just how someone could fantasize being a movie star or athlete.

I'm curious to hear feedback and comments.

For the record, humans are weird. LOL

Are You Crazy If You Fantasize about Being an Anthro IRL?

Ask Papabear - Mon 17 Feb 2014 - 13:59
Papabear,

Am I just messed up in the head? Are furries like me messed up? I wish I was an anthro a lot. Does this make me screwed up? I already have lots of mental problems like schizoaffective disorder and it would suck if this meant that I'm even more messed up.

Hello, Fellow Furry,

Good question, and one you usually get from mundanes, not furries—to wit: Do you have to be crazy to be a furry? Does having the urge to be a really anthropomorphic animal make you insane? I suppose, if it does, yours truly is certifiable. I think I would feel a lot more comfortable in my own skin if I looked like this IRL (art by Kleinbar). I mean, yum, hehe.

Part of this, a big part, I must admit, is my general dislike for the human race as a whole (although, not on an individual basis). This has sometimes been labeled “speciesism.” Psychologist Richard Ryder coined this term in 1970. What he was talking about, though, was human beings’ attitudes toward other animals on our planet being “only animals,” and, therefore, it was okay to kill them, ruin their habitat, and hunt them even to the point of extinction.

But, in furries, it is almost the opposite, where you get people who have a low opinion of Homo sapiens (hence, the origin of calling non-furries “mundanes”). Sometimes, this is a way for furries with low self-esteem to feel better about themselves because they are not ordinary humans. Sometimes, it is just a generalized misanthropic urge.

Then there is the fact that many furries simply find anthropomorphized characters very very attractive (hence the emergence of furporn). I, personally, have always thought a muzzle was more attractive than a flat face, that a nice, dense pelt of rich fur was beautiful, and that poofy tails are gorgeous. As a kid, heavily influenced by Disney films, of course, I wished I could jump through the screen at the movie theater and be a talking bear or wolf.

I believe, too, that many furries retreat into such fantasies because their real lives are very difficult and fantasy is a good escape that relieves tension.

Any or all of these might be true with you, take your pick, but none of them make you crazy. You know what crazy is? Crazy is the inability to perceive reality as it actually is and to make illogical choices in one’s life based on that skewed viewpoint. For example, someone believing he is the reincarnation of Napoleon Bonaparte, dressing up as a French general from the early 19th century, and then believing he is on a horse directing troops at Waterloo is crazy. Crazy is thinking that there is a demon from Hell talking in your head telling you to murder people. Crazy is Don Quixote trying to kill a windmill with his lance because he believes he is a knight fighting giants.

If you have a firm grasp on reality, if you know who you are, recognize the people and the world around you for what they are, then no, you are not crazy.

Now, you mention you have schizoaffective disorder, although you don’t explain if it is the depressive or bipolar type—no matter. There is a reason I and the professional community say “you have schizoaffective disorder” and not “you are crazy.” Because you are not crazy. You are suffering from an imbalance that causes serious mood swings, but you are not crazy.

There are many many many people out in the world leading productive, happy lives who are furries. There is nothing wrong with them; they are just into something that they get a lot of fun and pleasure out of. You should feel free to do the same.

Hope that answers your question.

Hugs,

Papabear
