Feeling... Kind of accomplished...

Furry Reddit - Sun 27 Sep 2015 - 00:41

Okay, so tonight my big brother had his friends over, and when my brother was gone, I told most of his friends that I am a Bisexual, so there is where I feel accomplished that I've told someone. But a few hours after I told his friends, my brother got drunk and I asked him "How would you feel if I went both ways?" He just stared at me and said "Not... not right now." I don't know if he's upset, disappointed, angry, or confused, but my anxiety is too much to where I'm shaking. I've taken deep breaths to calm down, but I just wanted to let you know that I am more comfortable in hopes that it's something to be happy about, but at the same time this is kind of asking what do you think my brother is thinking? It's mixed signals for me, and I don't know what to think.

Halp.

Why is the world so cruel to furries?

Furry Reddit - Sat 26 Sep 2015 - 23:09

I went to salt lake comic con and got a partial, I went with a what I thought was a friend at the time, apperently the whole day he was taking pictures of me telling people how retarted I was and how "autistic" I was being, he even yanked my tail and threw it away when I wasn't looking, and wouldn't confess. Now everyone I know is talking now about how retarded I am... Why can't we all just be friends?

The collegiate fur: Dealing with the angst of belonging and self-loathing. [Discussion]

Furry Reddit - Sat 26 Sep 2015 - 19:32

I'd like to preface before hand that this post is designed to serve as a discussion post as well as insightful one regarding the transition to young adulthood within the fandom. The thoughts and opinions within the post are one's held by the poster. The furry fandom serves as a secondary home for some, and a haven for others. I ask that you as a reader keep your comments informative and on topic to the post. Thank you.

I've identified as a furry for a good deal now; however, I've mostly kept being a furry to my close friends and family. From around age 15, I was hoping that by college I'd be able to express who I am and what I am to new people I meet. I always imagined having friends who were furries (or at least accepted the fact I am one), a girlfriend who understands my sexual attraction to the medium, but above all a place of belonging.

Sadly though, I haven't had the opportunity to do such a thing... even with transferring up to a large campus (40,000 students). The campus itself has a moderately well known furry association and club. I've also used other social media to get in touch with furries in the area, but I can't seem to find my clique just yet.

So I asked myself: What is attributing to my separation with the community?

  1. I genuinely dislike the furry persona, and I'm not going to be friends with people I don't like. Hugging, cuddly, overly friendly... it all seems synthetic to me, and I can't just jump into being that way with people. I also find it tough to become friends with people I have no interests with aside from being a furry; though I am relatively limited with being involved within the fandom.

  2. I identify as a heterosexual cisgendered male. Most of the furries I meet, especially within the college scene are predominately gay males. It's not that I'm homophobic, but I feel out of place being invited to a gay bar, and my relationship usually yields a conversation of "..it's a shame you're straight", "...you should try it..", "...men are better in bed..", etc. So basically, not what I want.

  3. I'm more of a closeted furry from the get-go. It's not that I'm embarrassed with being a furry, but there's just so much else going on in my life that the main way people identify me is as "the furry they know". It's not really a thing that comes up too often in conversation, but when it does I'll usually let people know that furries aren't all sex-crazed kids in animal costumes.

As of recent I've begun to loath being a furry more and more, predominately because I joined the community to feel a sense of belonging. Ironically, I haven't felt more disjointed from the fandom than I have as of late. I've talked to other furries who share my viewpoint, some of which have remained within the fandom and other whom have left it. I feel that my general want to be active with local furries stems from the fact that during middle and high school I would draw, role-play, and chat with other furries regularly. Now though, this all seems to be something which never occurs despite how hard I try.

Now I'd like to open this for discussion. Have you felt separated from the fandom? Issue finding a place to belong? What did you do? What do you think would be a useful next step for furries in this situation?

Looking to commission a great realistic furry artist soon~

Furry Reddit - Sat 26 Sep 2015 - 17:41

So I've been a part of this community for well over a year now. Was mostly a lurker but soon got my own fursona. I have gotten a reference sheet and was happy with it for the longest time but now I would like to upgrade it.

I would love it if you fellow furs could help me find a very great artist to commission that is also for a reasonable price. I don't gotta paypal yet but my boyfriend would pay it off for me as long as I paid him back. Post some reference art + there FA/DA/Reddit would be most appropriated. <3
