The bullying wasn't hard enough if they are suddenly going to rejoin out of nowhere. They should bullied them till its 6 foot in the dirt.

Imagine how much of a loser you have to be to have been bullied out of the fucking FURRY FANDOM with its open acceptance of zoophiles, diaper furs and pedophiles.

Been meaning to ask all the Kiwifarms Furries here

How does furries decide which fur they are?
do they just go "I like horses and therefore im a Horse furry"
or is there some deep guidelines and series of questions and/or self-reflective journey they go through to decide which fur they are?

Im asking because im curious as to how some people chose to be an Alpine Wolf
and some chose to be a Pink and Light Blue Wolf

its somewhat intriguing to try to understand what goes through their mind.

I realized I was a furry when I saw in pictures I made when little, that my imaginary friend was some sort of golden canine-like beast with huge fangs and sharp teeth, bulky like a freight train, and red triangular eyes.

And despite all of that, she was like an astral mother for me, defending me like a pup until she accidentally burned a curtain, and my mother kicked her out.

Some really esoteric shit, if you ask me.

I can't tell if you're being genuine or just shitposting.

Reality is more outlandish than any conceivable shitpost, I'm afraid.

So yeah, the internet didn't made me a furry, some celestial ""light"" being did, way before I touched a computer.

What others said.

Another element is what animals represent in culture. It why you see a lot of wolves, foxes, dragons, and lions. (loyalty, cunning, bravery, etc)

its kinda funny because majority of furries that picked
wolves, foxes, dragons and lions symbolizing loyalty, cunning and bravery...
are the literal opposites to those aspects.

Kinda. But it's different for everyone.

I picked a big strong fierce animal because I'm a wimpy little bitch.

Fursonas are like horoscopes for autistic people. The animal signifies the autism subclass. Scalies all have the energy of making Minecraft villager noises, wolves have the scooby doo voice, etc.

I wonder what is your voice tone pick for people who created their own species for their fursonaa, and want others to make art of said fictional species without conditions or rules around them. Asking for a friend(?)

(Imagine me going "hrmm" like a Minecraft villager here.)

I think you either have a demon, an overactive imagination, or undermedicated schizophrenia (no offense).

Im going to guess muted emotional expression with slightly irregular speech production, but I can't say I know for a fact.

You said canine, so I'm guessing you've got some scooby doo vibes.

None taken, there's smart and legitimate crazy genes in my family, keen observation. Maybe it's also my hyperactive imagination too, as I had been under ADD medicine in the past.

The demon angle though? Not really, I had a dream in where I got catfished by an actual demon hag, then I went to Hell to personally snap her neck, naked and with enough anger to eclipse an hypergiant red star.

The only thing you're wrong about, is the Scooby Doo voice. I sound more like a gopnik, tired version of Yogi Bear.

Why didnt at any point did they settle on wanting Monster Girls but instead opted for Furries?

o.o

Because anthro women and monster women are part of the same umbrella of the "human women are mid" kind of love (paraphilia) and appreciation (emotional vacuum).

And let's not forget that anime is a subgroup of furries, since the creator of modern anime, Osamu Tezuka, was a furry too.

 

[Noebel]

people who created their own species for their fursona

That's a very rare occurence. Usually they just slap a few existing creatures together and fix it with tape.

Why didnt at any point did they settle on wanting Monster Girls but instead opted for Furries?

Because a significant portion of them are homosexual. They mostly don't need girls.
Alternatively, because western furry fandom is fundamentally founded on the works of Disney, which contain fully-fleged talking animals.

To not doublepost, check this shit I found

Takes aside, he speaks like he frequents reddit too much, and I mean that on a physiological level.

Number one: People who try to shut me down when I talk about things I like because they don't like it. The things being gay people, also everyone needs to be talking about gay people.
Number two: People who talk about things I don't like they need to keep that shit to themselves. The things being Christianity, fucking brainwashed cunts.

The lack of self awareness is unreal I love this video.

Does this mean having a fursona is what makes the difference between a furry and someone who just appreciates anthropomorphic art? If a hypothetical person enjoys, say, the movie animalympics at a conceptual level, but doesn't identify with any particular critter, then they're not a furry, but if they insert a character they've connected to their own ego in some way, then that's where the transition begins?

Or am I overthinking it?

No, you're not overthinking it.
The definition of "furry" is so vague and contentious and is mostly a self-identified thing anyway.
It doesn't help that "furry" oestensibly refers to all anthro animals but really refers to a cult sexualized subset.
I've always wanted to make a thread to get people to post their definitions but nobody would take it seriously.

There's not really any rules. You don't have to have a fursona or any of that. Someone is a furry if they want to be a furry. That's it.

 

[Lurkin' 'n' Jerkin']

It seems to me that what people think of as furries today (not in terms of identification, but in terms of what's the average) is what furries would have called furry lifestylers 15+ years ago.

And let's not forget the groomers' definition of a furry: anybody who liked funny animal cartoons as a kid.

Edit: More tenuous, but I think an argument could be made that today's equivalent of the furry lifestyler is the therian. Many of them appear to be nothing more than furrier-than-thou furries, or they're trying to evade the negative and sexual connotations of the term "furry."

If you have a concept of "anthro" in the identifiably furry sense, then you're in their wheelhouse.

No, you're not overthinking it.

It doesn't help that "furry" oestensibly refers to all anthro animals but really refers to a cult sexualized subset.
I've always wanted to make a thread to get people to post their definitions but nobody would take it seriously.

I'd say cult "libidinal" (in terms of a focus and conduit of concentrated creative psychic energy) rather than always specifically sexual, although the distinction is purely technical since in nearly 100% of cases the libidinality (I'm gonna make up that word if it doesn't exist) is expressed sexually.

The concept of "anthro animals" (and the archaic term "funny animals", at least these days) doesn't exist outside of furries. It's a furry taxonomical construct.

I'd say that if you have a hyperfixation on furries, whatever you want to call them, you're a furry. It's more than just self-identification. HMOFA types are furries. The difference between furries and all these other terms is the same as the difference between self-identified LGBT and self-identified "MLM" or "SSA": the different terms denote differences in philosophy, but not the underlying cult sexualized subjects. They're all gay, no matter what term they'd prefer.

Concomitantly, HMOFA types and "anthro" enjoyers are furries (and also usually gay).

Imagine how much of a loser you have to be to have been bullied out of the fucking FURRY FANDOM with its open acceptance of zoophiles, diaper furs and pedophiles.

There could be several reasons, you know. Doesn't have to specifically be what you said. Could be bad experiences with friends or friends who gaslight their other friends to shun the person out of their clique and the overall community. Usually whenever I hear someone getting "bullied out of the fandom", it's mostly because they either said or drew something controversial or wrongthink. Would definitely like to know why they got bullied out the fandom. Can't be because of the icky antifurs. So something's not adding up.

Especially when they said it happened in their early adult years, not when they were a minor or anything. Only adds in more suspicion.

If you have a concept of "anthro" in the identifiably furry sense, then you're in their wheelhouse.

Which super sucks too since not everyone who draws anthropomorphic animals are furries or want to identify as furries. But the fandom's so good at gaslighting they'll just make them repeat the "I'm not a furry but..." meme until they're either hooked in EPI or general gooning and sexual jokes that the average Family Guy-esque adult comedy show could not compete with or become really unfunny people generally and convincing other nonfurs to be exactly like them and tell them it's normalized.
