/fur/ - Furry★

>Why can't furfags just have that comfy middle ground of acting like people you'd actually look forward to talking to?

because people like that know better than to touch the furry fandom with a barge pole taped to a big stick grasped by a robotic hand safely behind a blast wall controlled by remote uplink to a nuclear bunker antipodal to the main test site.

>>89901

Where the fuck are they though?

>>89903

I remember there being some genuinely cool people though. Wonder why they're gone now. Lives, maybe?

>>89894 (OP)

If you want that middle ground, then there's always kemono. Eastern people are very chill homies.

>>89905

They're in some discord servers. If you know the subject matter to look for, then you'll find a lot of chill people. I'm not going to give names because I don't want snowflakes turning it to shit.

>>89905

Discord, skype, etc. Most of them moved on and focused on their lives, yeah, but most still draw on the side as a hobby.

>>89906

I can second this from experience, a good chunk of eastern artists are just there to draw and view the artwork, they don't bring along any baggage, nor really care about talking about/partaking in drama.

>>89894 (OP)

>Either everyone in the furry 'fandom' is too pussy-footed, retarded and focused on being PC and all that shit, or tries way too hard to go against those tropes and becomes some full right-wing 'shitposter'

From my experience, this is typical for 8/4channers. Try seeking people somewhere else. Also take into account that people may act very differently irl than online.

>>89922

I've never met a furry IRL that I haven't actually been ashamed to be around. I can have fun with all kinds of people, but when it comes to the furfags I know, they take some things too far. This reflects online, too. Maybe it's true that they act different online, but that's no excuse for acting insufferable in person. I think I'm just asking for too much.

The warmness you seek is not too hard to build within a small group, but incredible difficult to maintain as time goes on and more people join.

Also, it's impossible to find it on any mildly popular social network, private chats and such might work but don't count on it.

Irl friends are the safe bet usually.

Warm is the state before the fire catches.

The Zaush leak drove a lot of decent people from the fandom years ago when it became apparent that owners of the various sites would defend a criminal solely because he was a top-tier popufur, tried to cover it up too, and then anyone left in the fandom who wasn't put off was shaming the victim with straight-up lies of "she was out to get him", ignoring a lot of facts.

The cub pedos running the cub dislikers out didn't much help, either. supersonic250 is one of the many who actively harass anyone who remotely suggests they dislike underage shit, and no matter how many rules they break to smear people, owners and staff of furry sites are into cub shit so they let this behavior fly. I have honestly had staff reply to tickets claiming they could not see infringing callout journals that were blatantly visible on the user's profile page.

That was way before politics entered the scene. The Zaush fans and pedos are glad to have Trump in office and, yes, SJWs can also be terrible fucking people, but the "in between" got crushed so you have to go full-on one side or the other or both sides destroy you.

>>89994

Zaush was further complicated by the permabanning of anyone who spoke out against him, forcing people who relied on FA just to sell commission business so they could pay bills to remain silent on the issue. This in turn made those people look like they were with the open supporters, guilt by association, because anyone who didn't side with the fucker were thrown out without hesitation. And it's not like they could go to another furry site- Zaush is on every site and the admins on those were also willing to protect him.

The fandom gutted itself to push its own sick shit and one-sided fetishes, and now it can suffer for it like it deserves.

because you still openly allow pedophiles and zoophiles into your community. until you get rid of those people your community will continue to crumble and be less warm

>>89994

this.

>forcing people who relied on FA just to sell commission business so they could pay bills to remain silent on the issue

you mean the commercialization of the fandom has had negative social effects?

hmmm, i don't know about that.

>>89995

>>89994

The victim never claimed that it was rape. She just felt that she was manipulated since Zaush begged her into having sex with him, later discarding her afterwards.

I wish we could just annihilate all furfag nonces.

>>89994

>(((rape)))

>>90054

>And it will not hurt

That big dick is gonna hurt no matter what you do.

>>89994

I was with you starting whining about muh cub art and muh trump. Are you so unhinged that everything has to be about politics to you?

>>89995

And there's the fact whenever someone tries to save the fandom at large from it own deserved reputation, those same people running the websites and conventions pull out as much slander as they can- accusing those people of being sexists, homophobes, and every other -ist and -phobia they can think of. It was apparent from the beginning that they would do everything possible to remain in positions of influence and power, and I don't see it stopping anytime soon. It's quite a mess honestly.

Barring a change in attitude among those people, the only way to salvage the fandom is to start your art sites, conventions, and eventually payment processors and banks when the inevitable attempts to shut you down through those means inevitably occur. I doubt there would be enough pressure from activists and corporations for that to happen, but who knows? Maybe there's more money and political capital in furry smut than I think.

>>90054

Let's go through the list:

>establishment politicians

>"revolutionaries" of all persuasions

>corporate-socialists

>/cow/ but only when it's funny

>people who see the turmoil as a chance to recruit for their idealogies see socialists and no 2

>CIA?

>lawyers

>(((big nose tribe))), if /pol/ is truly to be believed

Well, there may be a need to narrow this down, since it's mostly throwing vaguely connected things together in a list.

>>90068

im waiting for the realistic second photo where he takes the whole thing but is broken would make a hot snuff picture instead of an implied one.

>>89894 (OP)

It's because furries have always loved drama, and the slapfight between the two flavors of useful idiot fits the bill perfectly. The entire debacle gives you a reason to feel persecuted for what you say, and through that persecution you can feel vidicated that you alone know some hidden truth that everyone else is asleep to.

People eat that shit up, and furries especially so because it turns persecution into a reason to feel good about yourself.

Well, if you ever find one, let me know. This had been bothering me too.

I'm not welcome in the usual places because of my somewhat morally conservative opinions. I'm not comfortable on the right wing places either because most ideas seem to never get questioned there either.

I've got some problems with the suppression of free speech. On the left places, people who argue and disagree are banned. But on the right, the people that do stray there leave on their own. Effectively both places are echo chambers.

I just want to meet interesting people, discuss politics and snuggle without this baggage but I've never really felt at home anywhere. If you ever find a community like that, feel free to let me know.

Another thing that makes me lonely is my lack of kinks. I can't help it. Focusing on a body part, or sub and dom roles, or cubs, or vore.... All this stuff just makes me really uncomfortable. But in my entire 15 years looking for others like me I've never found anyone similar. I wish I some of your kinks so we'd at least have something to connect us, but no. It's all just uncomfortable.

>>90217

Same boat here anon, no weird kinks outside of liking femboys, but i like girls too so I doubt it even makes me gay ... Throughout my online presence I got into contact with the furry scene through vidya games, joined some chatrooms but every single one of them had the same problem: mentaly ill freaks, unsettling fetishes, RP'ing, sharing irl stories nobody with a healthy mind would like to hear, depression, drama out of nothing, erotomaniacs, the list goes on. I just wanna read webcomics and share furry art for Pete's sake !

Anyway I'm still looking forward to joining some sort of community but where I wouldn't be the only "normal" person and could relate to others. In a way this board is kind of a community but it's not and is not supposed to be tight-knit ( everyone is anonymous ). I frequent other boards and forums but don't post too often anywhere. I like reading and writing fanfictions from time to time. I'm right leaning too but I don't mind if someone has different opinions and I'm not as much into politics as I used to ( waste of time ), i LOVE the memes though.

>>89894 (OP)

Saying “pilled” makes it look like you just discovered something that the whole world hasn’t figured out. It’s from the matrix. Watch it again and pay close attention.

If you’re learning something that most people know already it’s just good old learning. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

>>89903

This. The "Furry Fandom" is cancerous beyond repair and any attempt to interact with it leads to contamination. What you're looking for are "friends who are also furry" not some mythical community. A "Warm furry community" doesn't exist and never can in the current climate.

I have several furry friends of varying types, but if I were to say any of us interacted with furries as a group I'd likely be lying.

Well this thread became self-demonstrating fast

>>90104

>openly allow

>implying this shithole doesn't exists solely to house those types

>implying those types aren't also the ones in charge

>>90313

they are in charge at the top its all zoophiles and pedophiles that have there rankings in all the major furry websites. theres atleast one on each websites admin team. some of them are even con board members and owners. shits fucked. and yeah modern society has it but, this shit was never a problem 8 years ago. or if it was it was never this exposed.

because of shitty mods.

notice how the spammer in this very thread is not punished and will never be punished
