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.

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.

And 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.

In 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.

Dragomaw’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.

Snaz’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.

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

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

hey guys, finally got around to cleaning up my massive 2 part comment from /u/icetail's thread "tomorrow you wake up as your fursona, what is the first thing you do?"

as noted by the Writers notice a few things have changed from the original, but the overarching story is still the same.

anyways here's a google docs document with it written in and corrected aswell as footnotes for explanations

I've been sitting awkwardly on the edge of the fandom for the past, ohhh, 4 years? I never ruffled any feathers or drew attention to my interests in fear of being outed, so I never really expressed myself as a furry - but earlier last week I ordered myself a tiger onesie. I sit here typing to you guys and gals with a giant grin on my face wearing this god damn amazing outfit that was just delivered this morning. It just feels... right - and its the first time in a long time that I've felt this comfortable being a furry, both metaphorically and literally.

I know it doesn't sound exciting, but I just really wanted to share this with you. It's one small step for man, but one giant leap for furrykind :3

So a little backstory first. For the past few years ive been a lurker on 4chan and ive grown to just agree with the opinion of everything. That includes the hatred for furries. I didnt even talk to or learn about it I just went with the popular opinion. I want to apologize entirely because today changed everything I think about furries. I was at kami con and furries were there well I was having a really bad day like right this second im considering an hero bc my life is hell but I wont forget what happened. I was sitting with one of my best friends who was breaking down bc of some asshole and I wasnt having a good day what so ever so we went to just talk to random people and my friend said fuck it lets go talk to the furries and I was like screw it might as well. So we ended up talking to them and they have treated me more like a human being than my own family has in months. They were so kind and accepting even though they knew I didnt like them at first. I have never felt more accepted or wanted by a group of people in my life. I am even considering joining the fandom just for the possible friendships I may make. Im a straight 19 yo guy btw.
