Is the furry fandom "too tolerant"?
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.

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.

Weird question.
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.

What kind of pets/ companions do you guys have? Just curios...
I just wondered what you other furs had for pets/ companions. I have an 11 year old Papillon names Scamp. The best thing about him is that his birthday is the same as mine! I didn't realize how much he loves me till I went to college for a year and could not bring him but, when I came home for christmas He was so excited that he jumped up and down for 5 full minutes then snuggled next to me on the couch and fell asleep. http://imgur.com/rQnKSJf http://imgur.com/0hEthaG

Doing some sketches if any one is interested.
I'm bored, So I thought I might do some sketches of people's Fursonas if you are at all interested.
These are two sketches i did tonight Just to give you an Idea of my skill level so you aren't too disappointed. The sketches are just going to be ink on paper, nothing fancy.
If your interested, I'll try and get a few done tonight, and I'll finish as many as I can tomorrow.
Edit 4 - Update with all Requests I've Done
Also, for those who are afraid they are too late, You're not. I'll be awake until 12:30 am Eastern standard time, and I'll probably continue doing the requests when I get up (Around 9 am)
NOTE: I AM GOING TO BED RIGHT NOW. IF YOU HAVE MADE A REQUEST THAT I HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO, OR WANT TO LEAVE A NEW REQUEST, JUST KNOW THAT I PROBABLY WON"T HAVE IT UP FOR ABOUT NINE HOURS. I WILL STILL GET TO IT, JUST BE PATIENT

Tail accessories!
So I need some help. Where would a snow leopard find a decent and appropriate tail accessory for a reasonable price. In other words, what kind of tail accessory is appropriate for a snow leopard such as me, but doesn't necessarily have to be a snow leopard tail, and where would I find it?
Thanks r/furry! Love ya!
