Every once in a while I see a fursuit for sale and think "gosh I'd look good in that" and then I read the auction--max height 5'3"

I'm somewhere between 5'11" and 6 foot. Am I actually freakishly tall or is there some reason why fursuits tend to be made for shorter people?

I currently use Linux on my laptop exclusively (currently Linux Mint, but I'm doing an experiment with Ubuntu MATE and the Gala window manager that might make it more appealing to me).

Anyone else here a user or fan of Linux?

Fred Patten’s birthday was December 11 – Happy 75th, Fred!

Read an interview with Fred about the founding of Furry fandom, by esteemed novelist Phil Geusz.  Thanks Fred for bringing so much content that helps Dogpatch Press to put out Furry News every week day.  Sorry that this went out too late to share Furplanet’s weekend birthday discount sale for Fred’s titles.  But check them out:

“Accidental Guests of the Midwest Fur Fest” – outsider appreciation gets viral views.

This personal blog post got lots of love.  The Healthy Not Nuts blog covers a husband and wife’s thoughts on recipes, diet, health and photography.  It’s lovely when Furries add spice to the mundane!  “…how can you not love these creatures that look so cute, cuddly and happy all of the time?”  The post earned 267 comments.  The writer shared an appreciation letter for the post, where he mentioned getting over 20,000 views.

Furries in Buzzfeed’s “The 50 Worst Things On The Internet In 2015.” (NSFW)

Use this archive link (so they get no incentive to publish unforgivable crap).  Furries are in items 14, 20, 31, and 46.  There’s also bonus bronies, puppy and pony players. Whether it’s love or hate, at least things are never boring…

Goodbye to Furnation.

Furnation was one of the first visible Web presences for Furry fandom. It helped many to discover their fursonas in the 1990’s. Reddit calls it “the end of an era.” Flayrah gave it a feature under it’s tag for collected coverage. Social network Furrtrax made a generous offer of free hosting to keep it online.  I tried helping, but got the feeling that Furnation’s admin was too burnt out with health problems to devote an ounce of effort for community moderation. I also assume the build of the site might be antiquated and burdensome (perhaps technical, or with copyright for content built by individuals.) It’s influence lives on in places like FurPlanet (formed from Furnation Magazine), one of the 3 main Furry publishers.

Literary Agent has a message for her followers.  They must be sending mountains of this…

Here are some other things I can't sell right now: Vikings. Anthropomorphic animals. SF with cute humanoid aliens. Vampires.

Zootopia news – the heat is rising for the 2016 Fursplosion.  Will it open a new era of “Furry Chic?”

For promotion straight from Disney, here’s new anthro parody movie posters, and a delightfully busy Zootopia poster.  And this is very interesting…

Disney Prepares to Cash In on the Furry Demographic with “Zootopia”.  Inverse.com notices what a lot of us have been speculating about.  Few outsiders have commented until now (although there was this minor piece last year: “Marvel Looking To Capture The Furry Market?“)  Keep in mind, market size doesn’t necessarily matter, if buzz spreads from niche to niche with outsized influence. Like bunnies don’t have to be big to be… productive.

The author felt like my reddit comment was worth quoting. “patch_ofurr writes “don’t ever think a giant corporation doesn’t know EXACTLY what they’re doing…”  But after the article came out, furry Redditors were underwhelmed.  They complained about the article’s lack of talking to an actual furry, and linking Vanity Fair’s outdated, always-shitty 2001 hit piece against furries. That’s #1 on the Journalist No-No List.

“Furry Chic” is my way of harkening back (tastefully or not) to 1970’s “Porno Chic”.  Movies like Deep Throat earned unprecedented mainstream notice and box office success. Film critics and academics love that topic.  It came with the sexual revolution and the phenomenon of exploitation movies tackling topics that Hollywood wouldn’t touch. (Like lurid, but socially pointed funky Blaxploitation).  It’s possible to find roots of Furry fandom in that milieu… with the first X-rated animated movie, Fritz The Cat.

Funny how a Zootopia director was quoted as saying this movie will have Disney’s first ‘nude scene.’

Clunk Mag: an interview with a furry.

A conversation with Lilka.  “Of all the subcultures that the internet exposed in the new millennium, from all the hundreds of varieties that all rampantly fractured into thousands of niches, there is one that still has the ability to shock: The Furries.”  The writer goes out of his way to highlight sexual comments that are not-so-shocking. (And why is he so interested?)

So, did my title grab your attention?

Hey there! My actual name is [redacted] but you can call me Switch. I've been in the fandom since 2012(ish) which is almost 1/5 of my life (If you do the math right you can get my age!). Also, sorry for any formatting issues. I'm on my phone, in bed, being a lazy shit.

So, there's this guy named Kevin. I met him when we were both being some 1337 MLG PRÖS in a Comp match on CS:GO. I saw his furry profile pic and added him because of it. We chatted and surfed a little bit and we voice chatted over Steam. We have each others Kiks and we've been talking for a while. My reason for posting here is I really like him but I don't know what to do. So maybe you fellow furry fiends can help out? Social down below.

SHAMELESS SOCIAL PLUGS:

My first proper commission! It's of my OC which has taken a lot of inspiration from a few of intrufox's characters which I love so much! (I also do a lot of skeet shooting hence the firearm) ~^

Edit: just realised this had already been posted by dreamingwanderer herself sorry for the double post, merry Christmas to all!

So, I haven't been on Reddit for all that long, but I have noticed that sometimes (Or a lot of times, especially on subjects such as fetishism) people post information that simply cant be true. Ex: only 1% of furries are sexual towards other furries(I've heard this from many furs as well)... Well, there are 21,787 furries in this subreddit (as of this post) and 1% of that is 217.87, there are 28,224 furries on r/yiff , so.. yea. But I didn't come to start a flame war, I came to give you this link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhDHx6Cisdg Its by a man named Gnoggin, he is a fairly popular youtuber, trustworthy as well, so if you get the chance, it's a pretty good video. :3

Hey everyone :) I had a question. I mean no offense or anything by this just kind of trying to understand this a little more. So the reason I said "gay furs" is because I have a question more about being gay. So I work at this place and I am not judging more rather wondering. There were two gentlemen shopping in my department, and I helped them out. I'm not positive but I've heard of gays saying they have a wife (in this case) for a partner, but what the case was, they were saying they were straight to protect themselves. So anyways back to the thing, two guys 99% was saying they were together, sort of seemed it too (I could be completely wrong). When talking with them it seemed that they were lying saying they were straight, So really I am just kind of trying to understand if you are gay why lie about who you are with? I understand it in some situations, but in Seattle of all places? Just trying to make sense of it and if I did anything wrong?

One of comic book great Jack Kirby’s more obscure creations was the Devil Dinosaur and Moon Boy series — obscure, but still popular among comic book collectors. It featured the adventures (on a parallel, savage world) of an ape-like proto-human named “Moon Boy” and his companion, a firey-red tyrannosaurus rex with human-level intelligence.  And now Marvel comics have brought Devil Dinosaur into modern times, literally, with their new series Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur — written by Brandon Montclare and Amy Reeder, with art by Natacha Bustos. This time around “Moon Girl” is a young human (with some “Inhuman” secrets) who just may be a genius inventor in the making. In the midst of one of her experiments though, she accidentally drags Devil Dinosaur into our world and our time. Talk about a pair who just don’t fit in! The first issue is on the shelves now, and i09 has an interview with the creators as well.

Here's my attempt at introducing myself. So I've been lurking for longer than I'd care to admit. I've always been interested in character creation and drawing animals and stuff, so that lead me to this community that I have really come to appreciate. I'd love to join the fun so... here I am! As I said, drawing is kind of my thing so here's a ref sheet for my work-in-progress fursona. Also this winged-horned-bear thing I did a while back. Probably my favorite. And this is a friend's dog I did, like, an hour ago or so. So... yup. That's that. I'd really appreciate any constructive criticism and, please ask me any questions you might have. I'll do my best.

This is a question I've been pondering since the last rainfurrest, which did not go very smoothly as I'm sure those of you who attended might have figured out. The last I heard, The Hilton has officially refused to host RF next year, and it is entirely because of the behavior of certain attendees.

Now listen, I'm all about having a good time, and believe me, I'm the last person to judge somebody, but I feel like there comes a point where a line has to be drawn. The fandom is far too tolerant of inappropriate behavior, and we have a penchant for flaunting our fetishes in public, which reflects poorly on the fandom as a whole. Are you guys tired of our reputation as weirdos and perverts? Are you tired of our fandom being dismissed as a fetish and nothing more? I sure as hell am.

Maybe I'm just salty because I feel like this is going to set a precedent for hotels and venues everywhere to refuse service to furry cons, events which I love dearly and don't want taken away from me, but c'mon guys, we can do better than this! Trashing hotels? Not cool. Behaving like insufferable manchildren and condoning that behavior? Not cool. Wearing fetish gear (SUPER NSFW IF YOU SCROLL DOWN FAR ENOUGH) in a public space that kids are allowed in, also pretty uncool! And people wonder why the rep of furries doesn't really seem to be improving!

I'm not trying to be a dick or accuse anybody of anything, in fact most people on this sub are pretty awesome members of the fandom. I just think this is some food for thought. I just wanna make the fandom the best it could be, and maybe live in a world where I can rock the tail every once in a while without being looked at like a freak. I dunno, feel free to call me out if i'm just being a prude or a kurmudgeon or whatever.

</rant>

Edit: I sort of regret making this post last night. I feel like a lot of people missed the point of it. It wasn't to shame furries who like diapers and fetish gear and it wasn't to convince people that cons should be avoided or anything like that. I'm especially sorry I posted that imgur album. It was just cathartic for me because I was upset that RF might not have a venue next year and that it seemed like no matter how hard we try, there's just enough furs hellbent on making all the rest of us look like dicks. I'm sorry for causing a fuss.

Does anyone here wanna Roleplay? I mean a good old fashioned RP with characters that have personality and depth. I wanna Roleplay something where I can learn about a character by experience. Any genre, any setting. I wold like one where I can make friends with any of your assorted characters learn about then from interaction, have a good time. Anyone interested? I'd look on /r/furryRP but 99% only want the NSFW. Also I don't care weather it's SFW or not but I want to have focus on the regular content, not make it a glorified Pr0no. Sorry for the ramble. I'll reply as soon as I can, my weekend schedule is up in the air.
