Should She Give in to Mate's Pressure to Be a Furry?

Ask Papabear - Fri 1 Mar 2013 - 14:42
Dear Papabear,

First off, I would like to say I am not a furry, With this I see nothing wrong with furs, in fact I love all furs, most my friends are furs, and I'm pretty much surrounded, I love it; it makes me happy, Even my mate is a fur, A wonderful handsome lion, I truly love him, when he first met he knew I was not a fur, and he seemed fine with it, But he slowly started pushing the issue that I should find a fursona, I tired my hand at it, but nothing seemed right, Just nothing seemed to fit, But he always pushed it more and more, and now I'm scared that if I do not find a fursona, even if I have to fake it, That I will lose him, 

What should I do ?

Stuck out in the cold with no fur

Dear Sally’May,

When the modern furry fandom began back in the early 1980s or so, it was simply about people who liked stories featuring anthropomorphized animal characters—a sort of subgenre of sci-fi and fantasy. Over the years it has come to mean a lot more. Most furries these days, however, see it as much more than that. Not all furries have fursonas, but most do and many (not all) feel it is part of being a furry.

So, not all furries have fursonas, and your question makes me think of the novel notion: perhaps a nonfurry could have a fursona. Interesting idea. And so, even though you aren’t a furry and can’t really connect with a fursona, you could do so to please your mate.

But why should you? As you said, your mate knew who and what you were when you got together. If you both love each other, you should accept each other as you are. It is certainly possible for a furry and a nonfurry to be mates. My husbear is not a furry, but he thinks furries are cool. I don’t demand he become a furry or pick a fursona. On the other hand, he loves going to furcons with me and watching me in parades and such in my fursuit.

Your mate is probably pushing you to be more of a fur because he wants to share his life with you and that seems more doable if you’re a furry, too. You need him to understand that that is not essential for a loving relationship.

Let’s turn this around. Do you have some interests that are unique to you that he doesn’t participate in? Just for instance, say you are a football fan—would he go to a football game with you? If you were a Packers fan and he wasn’t, would you force him to wear cheese on his head and tell him that you don’t love him unless he does so? I would hope not.

Likewise, he shouldn’t force things on you. The two of you must have things in common or you wouldn’t be together. It’s actually a good thing that you don’t share every quality—if you did, it would be like dating yourself. Viva la difference!

Your mate needs to respect that you are different and appreciate that you love him the way he is and enjoy being with furries even if you aren’t one. You need to ask him to love you as you are and not try and change you. If he doesn’t respect that, then I’m afraid you have a problem. On the other paw, he might not realize he’s been pressuring you, and if you point it out to him, he might apologize and back off.

If you are a good judge of character and have built a loving relationship with a cool lion, then you have no reason to fear explaining to him how you feel. If he is not the lion you think he is, better to find out now than years from now.

Good luck, I hope it works out for you!

Is FA getting the F U ?

DailyFurBlog - Thu 28 Feb 2013 - 19:41

It is enough to post to my channel here that I must say in the past few weeks FurAffinity is hurting it’s users. I just came across a quick Reddit feed which posted a pic of what FA was suppose to look like after a $16k drive to boost up it’s site. Well we can see the changes have never happened. Let me break this into my terms as a web designer and a business owner.

Pros: The site is well maintained and allows many things go on to it. They have a nice message system and a nice profile protection system.

Cons: The site has some bad layout and bad colors. Users are booted by admins. to quickly and others post pointless things we don’t need to see.

Overall the site needs some well defined maintenance. I understand it is free and those who run it do it in charity. I understand running something this big for free comes at costs, but wait …. wait …. IT’S THE BIGGEST FURRY SITE IN THE WORLD! So why does someone like the now upcoming Weasyl. com trump FA? Well they fixed all the issues, they gave a site better look and seperated things users want. It is one thing that has always bothered me, “Why does FA never listen to it’s users and take action quickly?”.  Also the whole $$ thing is just wow! Now they are looking for donations again to keep it up, yet they do not change anything. There are so many out in the fandom world that are willing to help, why not listen to them? Let someone with $$ take it over and show the fandom world FA is BAD-ASS site!!  I still say, ” Do not give up them (FA) they do thier best and will keep trying. But in the booming age of the internet if you are weak others will quickly take you out in one blow.  Come on FA don’t give em’ that chance, stand up and fight the fight! Make the cool looking site and make departments for art, suits and more!! “  – end Rant .
