ASK-A-FURRY

[kitsovereign]

Oh hey LJ, I still have this thing.

So, my LJ community is mostly non-furry! Which is cool, god knows that furries can get irritating. To most of you, I'm sure I'm just "that weird furry guy." Or at least "that weird guy who actually admits to being a furry".

The furry fandom can get pretty WACKY sometimes! And this, basically is why I'm here.

I know we rarely speak but I want to know an honest question as it bugs me alot, as someone involved in internet parody and satire:

Are furries really sexually deviant? Or is it like everything else - a few sour grapes ruin the community? I mean, for example, while you can talk about some subjects, you don't seem to be someone who forces sexual conversation on people. It's a common misconception I hope that furries are deeply disturbed sexual deviants.

Furries, like many internet communities, are a gang of misfits (which here is a nice way of saying "too retarded to successfully interact with human beings face-to-face").

(I say this as somebody who joined an internet community on account of being too retarded to successfully interact with human beings face-to-face. There's precedent.)

I imagine at some point that some fat neckbeard got up and shouted out a list of fetishes, at which point the rest of the fandom rolled with it.

The furry fandom has a definite sexually charged air, and it's somewhat in shocking contrast to the "real world", where if you think about sex at any time other than when you are in the missionary position with your heterosexual life partner, you are a pervy pervo. In the furry culture, sex is hardly taboo - and this winds up being a very good thing! It's cathartic; a furry can go to his friend and say "Heyyy, boners, boners boners?" and his friend will reply "Why yes! Boners boners, boners boners", without shrieking and calling the police. This is pretty

I thought I mentioned it above, but I must have gotten completely sidetracked by thoughts of boners - It is, of course, entirely possible to exist in the furry community without a sexual presence. If you don't run around talking about what gets you hot, then anybody with a hint of subtlety or ounce of taste won't harass you with their own sexual stuff. It's certainly not a prerequisite.

I was hoping to talk to him as he was kind of an interesting game mod developer, who had various tricks

"Friendships and communities work in the real world almost out of necessity; you're friends with people because they are in close proximity to you, and you remain friends because you keep doing favors to each other."

What the fuck? Are you for serious? Friendships are not dependent on doing favours for each other.
I really do hope I'm just misinterpreting this.
