Are there other furry duders out there?

Though I have recently made a new account after buying a membership, I have been around this site since the "How to build a bomb" days. I have never been into chatting on forums or the chat channel (unless I am particularly bored) and was hoping there might be a few other furry duders out there. I am generally bored most days at work since most of my friends are asleep all day and up all night, so I was looking to find some new people to chat with or possibly play games with. If you don't want to post on here, that's cool, you can shoot me a PM.

If you are frightened by people who have different hobbies than you, then you don't really need to reply to this. This isn't really a post to bring up a debate, this is just me saying hi. To all the people who are horribly offended by furries, just don't look at my avatar. If it really bothers you, just pretend my avatar is a witty internet meme or a timely reference.

Yes, I am very hairy.

What is a 'furry'?

It's not that they hate you. It's that they find your interests to be hysterical.

Huh?

is being a furry considered a hobby?

Is this a shaving thing? Cause I don't shave much so I might be your target demo.

Freak...

I don't think you can be a furry, you just like them.

I think.

I'm not into that stuff but hey to each their own. Nothing wrong with it.

Ok folks, as far as I can tell this guy is for real, so please be nice. Perhaps you aren't into furries, but that is no reason to criticize him.

I come to sites like Giant Bomb to avoid internet stuff like this. No offense, but keep your private habits private.

Hey, people like what they like, don't let those people that talk down on you get to you. It's not like furries are dangerous, most people just find them weird.

Heh, this has already blown way out of proportion. Sorry to come across as a troll. I assume I can delete the thread for attracting all the unwanted attention. On the bright side, I got some quests done. Sorry for the bother, you may resume doing what you do.

To be fair, Giantbomb isn't the place to search out people like that.

Trust me, even us with anime avatars get crap once in a while. : )

In one survey, 33% of furries surveyed online answered that they had a "significant sexual interest in furry" and another 46% stated they had a "minor sexual interest in furry", and the remaining 21% stated they have a "non-sexual interest in furry". The survey specifically avoided adult-oriented websites to prevent bias.

Oh wikipedia.

(Yes I had to Google furry.)

If someone wants to draw anthropomorphic animals doing nasty things, that's their business. If they want to dress up in foxsuits, more power to them. I'm not one of them but I'm not about to condemn someone because of their likes. It'd be like hating someone because they like vore or something.

I'm not into the furry business.  
 
My lesbian cousin on the other hand...

Sooooooo, can you have any other interest in Furry than that of the sexual-fashion?

Call me old fashioned but I don't want to be friends with someone who would both eat me and wank at the same time.

So does being a furry mean that you love every Sonic game regardless of quality because it is a masturbatory aide.

Is furry the new term for "hairy"?

Furries go into my internet concentration camp first, followed by Ron Paul supporters.

So its all glorified bestiality, right?

Most people can separate their fetishes from social situations. I have friends that have odd fetishes and I don't worry about them acting on them when we're hanging out at the movies or a bar or something.

I'd wager you'd have more luck at Anime Vice.

Sorry but I wouldn't be able to get over the fact that I was talking to someone who has at some point gotten an erection from cannibalism. That's just me.

Well then I wouldn't call you old fashioned.

See that's the weird thing. Furries reinvent themselves in "fursonas" (I did not make that fucking term up) that acquire animalistic traits, but they're still... people. Ish. Sort of. Like bipedal, anthropomorphic dogs with human brains. Sort of. Kind of.

You know what? Fuck it. Beastiality it is.

What about Furry Ron Paul supporters?

This may be true.

I have been to the mountain top.

Wait, what in the world is a furry......

You know a lot of the time when someone asks on these forums whether they should do something that wouldn't be socially accepted the response is "Do whatever you like and don't care about what other people think", then something like this comes along. Freedom and tolerance for all until someone does the thing I hate then I get to mock and/or insult them. This hobby may not be my sort of thing but whatever floats your boat.

Bestiality involves actual animals, not people in suits. If you are going to paint in broad strokes, all humans at one point were participating in bestiality, as most pre 20th century condoms were made of pig intestine.

That's like throwing a flag on the field because everyone stares with confusion as a dude runs naked rubbing shite all over his face. It may be a hobby, and he may be entitled, but it's still fucking weird.

Mistakes can be made. Be careful in future.

Not a furry but apparently many Giantbombers are naive if they think this is a limited thing. I heard just the other day that my city has a legit furry community that has gatherings and what not.

Do you have a camera and a generous mood?

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Here is mine: Furries in my mind, are a bunch of closet beast lovers. This sort of thing makes me cringe, and there are few things in this world that make feel that way. May God have mercy on your soul.

Locking this one at the request of the OP.
