fchan

Hobby.

I have human concerns, like working my human job to make my human money.

>>2

This.

And honestly, no offense, but furry "lingo" kind of bugs me, especially when people use it outside of strictly furry situations.

>>4
Same here, only the hatred spreads to internet slang in general.

I have co-workers who say "Lol" and it makes me want to punch them.

I'm a furry and I'm a fursuiter. Well I will be when I get a job and save up some money. I just turned 19. I haven't really used furry lingo in everyday use yet but mostly because I don't have any furry friends. I have my boyfriend who doesn't like fursuits at all because "Their stare freaks me out" and while I do have a friend he'll talk to me about fursuits here and there and he seems intrigued but I doubt he would suddenly turn furry.

I think the most furry thing I did was meow around people when I worked at McDonalds when I was 16.

I look at furry porn and I like it but I still look at human hentai and enjoy that a bit more. I don't see anything wrong with people who do happen to yiff in fursuits but as 7 said that would possibly ruin them. Plus my boyfriend would never ever do that to begin with.

Now I would never talk about my furriness and say every other furry or even fursuiter is the same as me. I'm sure there are more normal people than me. I mean I've wanted to be a feline since I can remember. I've also loved animals more than humans. I want to protect animals more and could usually care less about humans. -shrugs- If someday they could attach working animal parts to humans such as ears and tails and whatnot I would be among the first to want one. So long as I could choose the species to match my fursona.

I know a lot of people will call me a freak. Some may dismiss me because I give furries a bad name somehow. But I'm not going to change who I am because people don't like what I'm into. I'm a proud furry and someday I hope I will become a proud fursuiter as well.

>>5
I didn't mean here specificly, I just meant in general. Does anyone here know furries under 18? i know like... 1, and they turn 18 in a few months.
>>6
I knew someone who actualy said "lol" and "ROFL"
i thought it was stupid, but it did make me laugh.
I think the only acceptable 'internet lingo' are W-T-F and W00T
and as for furry lingo, yeah, to much does get annoying, its just that after being around so many furrys for so long, i forget to stop. (my boyfriend is a real big furry, he got me into the fandom  almost 3 years ago, he uses the lingo alot, and well... its rubbed off on me)

>>8
Real life porn = yes for me
Hentai = yes
Furry porn = yes.
I just never understood people who dont like real porn. meh, to each's own i guess.

and >>9
i didn't mean to start a topic about why we get trolled, or about why we judge people. I meant this as more of a pole, with some explination, but hey, whatever.

id say a main reason some people prefer furry porn to RL porn..is thats it looks nasty a lot, and its really messy, and the video's if u watch them,(personally sound funny) are weird b/c all the grunting and stuff, some ppl may like that, and thats fine for you, others dont find it there cup of tea.
also, furry pix, (porn or not) can open up fantasy(bad spelling)worlds in their minds, which can be a relaxing retreat.

>>8
id be right there in line with ya for those animal parts, haha..a tail and ears would be fun
im sure they could do the tail, it would cost a lot, and they would need to find a way to attatch it to ur tailbone, then possibly with practice you could wag it..haha

a fursuit i would like to get, but cash is the problem, i mean just throw whatever extra cash off to the side and eventually you could get it, if ur good at managing money, unfortunatly im not that great, but thats what banks r for, so u cant get to it easly

as for being openly furry in public, well..at least to my friends, a little more everyday, i mean..i kinda mentioned it to my one friend and he didnt care, i was suprised he knew what one was b/c he didnt seem like someone who would, but then again, who really does.

furry lingo..sometimes, but not very often, wouldnt want to ruin it.
also >>8 i agree with protecting animals, i love animals and want to find some job working with them, probably a zoo or something to start.

>>1 I'm sorry, but I've never heard of you, and those questions aren't the kind one stranger should ask of another stranger.

lol
So this is what happens when you don't visit fchan for like, 2 days. lol
You miss all the good threads. lol
Now to responds...

Yeah, I love the fandom. I refer to my hands as 'paws' a lot, but pretty much only around those that know I'm a furry, and that have accepted it and aren't assholes about it. Occasionally it slips in public, but I just keep talking and they usually don't' notice.
I don't really refer to my 'rump' or anything as a 'tail-hole' lol, however I constantly use phrases like, "I just worked my TAIL OFF today"
I can't help but giggle.
It's not weird that you do it around other people besides furries, in fact I wish I could do that more. I'm just not sure how people would take me being a furry, so congratulations about being more open to it. :)
I have never referred to my face as a muzzle, not that I can remember anyways.........

I too save art, lots of art. Yiff art and clean art. Although Clean is about 60% of it, that doesn't mean there isn't some other 'stuff' in there as well. ;)
I fap to it. lol
I want a fursuit, but they ARE too expensive for very little use, they're pretty heavy, and the look I'm clueless about as well. However, a simple fox tail for halloween is...
A lot cheaper, it's simple, and I already got it. :)

The sex in a fursuit is weird to me, but I'd experiment... *blinks*

I consider it more than a hobby,
but I wouldn't go as far as a lifestyle.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Now, other comments... lol
>>3
Lol, nobody here should be under 18. If they are, they'd lie about it so they don't get banned. hahahahhaa
>>4
It doesn't bug me on furry forums or whatever, but when people DO use it IRL... like, "ugh, I hate my human job"
I'm like, dude what the hell? It's YOUR JOB retard.
>>6
People actually say, 'lol' at your work? How old ARE THEY? 15?
>>7
Agreed about the furry porn vs rl porn comment.
Also, I think it's funny how you 'hate furry lingo' and yet you just said, "Real life porn" lol
>>9
I a generally agree with you.
>>10
I know a few furries under 18, from about 15-17 (lol) so yeah. They're obviously underage and don't 'do stuff' or are able to go to furry cons, however a couple of them illegally look at 'mature content' so... idk what's going on with them, but w/e.
I'd say more of omg and wtf, rather than W00T, but that's just me.
>>11
I general Agree with you as well. :P
>>12
Yeah, there's a big thing there too.
RL porn is over all messy, all the grunting, and the really 'fuckfuckfucki'mahornyjackassithinki'msocoolletsdoitsofuckinghardcoremyeyeballsbleedmonkeysandturtles' and all that stuff, idk it's not nearly as attractive to me...
Fantasy IS a big thing as well, it really does open up fantasies, for me anyways.
Wow, animal parts. You have no idea. I've got this HUGE thing for giant fluffy tails, I'm not even kidding. I would kill off my family (I'm joking people... lol) for one of those.
I don't care how much it would cost, I could care less about people looking at me strange.
If I could get a tail attached, where I had feeling in it, could wag it, and it'd be just like a real tail....
*gasps plesently*
oooohhhhhhhhh man. You have no idea.
That's like, major fetish. Tails drive me crazy and.... rrrraaawwwrrrrrrr *grin*
Wow, ok sorry. Horny moment there.

Seriously though, I think I'd hyperventilate and collapse/die once I got news about a tail like that.
OOOooooohhhh yeahhhhh...... *pants*
Dear god, ok I need to move off the tails subject.

>>13
I'd totally get a few cool tshirts I've seen, but currently I'm too shy to actually admit to being a furry in public, but hey. It's alright and I'm good with it.
Family, I'd be WAY more hesitant to tell. If I told one family member, then obviously that would spread, and soon my entire family would know. That I don't really want.
As for friends, yeah I tell most of them.
I don't just run up to them and yell, "HEY I'M A FURRY! YAY!" but if something comes up, it's mentioned or whatever, then sure I'll tell them.
This is also like, I don't try 'hiding my furryness' so much near good friends. For a while I was actually afraid to say anything about getting a fox tail for halloween, however this year I've been much more open (seeing how I actually got one), and if anyone says anything then they say. :P

Wow, I think that's the longest reply in a forum I've ever written... hahahahha
Between the time I've read the thread, then posted this, somebody else has probably posted already, then I get to reply to them too. lol
If not, then I'm wrong. All well. lol

>>16
now that's the kind of response i was looking for.

I dont even know how to adress that.
>>14
um.... this is a website for people to exchage furry art, and porn, with people they dont even know who they are, for them to do god knows what with. i think if there IS a place to ask a stranger those questions, this is about the only place TO do it.

and i dont remember off-hand which post but
W00T, i say outloud, its like "WOO HOO" but not so long.
also OMG, WTF, L-O-L, and a few others, but only when joking, such as after seeing V for Vendetta and laughing at the end, i said "Ha HA! oh wow. That made me L-O-L! K?"

and for some reason actualy saying "murr" but thats more of an intimate thing, not that anyone even wants to know.

its like the "you might be a furry IF" tread, i'm like 6-8 of those. its sad... i couldnt finish the list i was laughing to much.

and as for minors, of course minors dont go here, i mean, if they did then we'd need log-ins to prove we're not 18, and then we'd need verification of some kind, and then fchan would become  another crapy pay-site, and be required to have 24-hour modderation from people who dont even care about furry stuff. so no, no minors are going on fchan, so, no on fchan is not what i meant. I just meant if anyone knew minors that are furries, which yes some of you have. and as for them not being able to go to cons, how many minors where at Anthrocon this year? i was there and got nervouse around some and tried to act more responsible cause i didn't want to be a bad influence on them, both as an adult, and as a super-sponsor. i thought they where kids, so.... >_>

i don't think "being a kid" keeps people from going to cons, after all some peoples parents actualy take there kids TO these cons.

and as for "minors being on FChan"
i have one thing to say

what about Inuki? (god i hope i spelled that right)
HOW OLD?!?!?!?!?

when i heard that i about died, and that's why i'm bringing that one up.

also, as for fursuits,
i've seen so many differant kinds,
what's up with those partial suits that people wear normal clothes over?! i mean jesus, dont they over-heat, or is there just no suit there? and... how does it stay together?!

and well, as for furry drama....
i hate most furry drama.
namely the drama between furries and non-furries
mostly because its more common,

I dont even consider drama between a furry and a furry, to be furry drama, its usually about non-furry issues, such as someone cheating on someone, or not paying rent, or stealing there ideas, or thinking they ate the other's sandwich when they wherent looking. i consider that, 'dumb-shit drama'
or a scertain F word thrown around on a certain OTHER #chan

but anyway....
how many of you who can afford to go to cons actualy do?
My first con, for furrys, was this year at anthrocon, and my first year i was a super-sponsor as well (i had the spare cash)

speaking of which, i had a small artbook made out of 3 1/2" floppys that i was running around the 'zoo' with getting artwork from people, and one or 2 requested i scan it, and well... i lost all the contact information. i was planing on A) scanning it all and uploading somewhere,
and B) doing another one, to auction off for some charity auction. although, while yes, protecting animals is important,
i'd want to donate any money from the "zu bhuk" to the con itself, so that they could have more security or pay off uncle kage's bar-tab or something.
but i know i keep running in circles, there is a point to the zoo-book story,

1) was anyone here at anthro-con, that drew in the book, and if so, what was drawn,
and
2) where could i upload it all (hopefully that isn't photobucket)

also i Think if i do this right, i'll be adding a trip-code for from here on out.

>>18 I've got no problem sharing drawings with people. That doesn't make us friends, nor does it mean we know each other, nor does it mean they get to learn the intimate details of my sexual preferences.

>>16
My family knows, to a certain extent - My mom asked to see my sketchbook one day, and I said sure.  She thought it was 'cute' including the two-foxes-fucking kinda stuff, so it's all good.  She told me dad, and I assume my brother eventually caught on (he's not as dumb as he acts, nor as big of an asshole, usually) and I don't have any qualms about telling them 'I'm going to be gone for the weekend to a furcon, so don't bother calling' type of thing. 

Some friends know, some don't.  If you don't make a big deal about it, most other people won't either. 

>>21 >>23 Ah, the illusion of anonymity...

Just because you omit your name on a forum doesn't mean that it's not connected to you. Between wherever you live and the Fchan site, your data (including what you type, what websites you go to, and your IP address) are being potentially cached and/or logged by every machine along the "tube."

The Internet is much less anonymous than telling a complete stranger face to face in a bar, and if you don't believe me, you're fooling yourself. Check out news websites about cyber-monitoring sometime.

>>24

That's not news to me, pal. Like >>25 said, an IP will give your general location, but only your general location if you've not provided info elsewhere to link IP and name. And ONLY if someone goes through the trouble of intercepting your data transfers. And mods, but whoever doesn't trust them probably shouldn't be posting here.

I don't know about you, but I've NEVER put my personal contact info on the 'net; in fact, I've been overly paranoid about it. So I CAN remain anonymous. I HAVE. And so can you if you're careful. Your bar analogy doesn't work, sorry :\.

But hey, what I can say, no one's going to force you to reply to the thread if you don't want to. But please, don't discourage people who would otherwise gladly contribute with groundless fears.

okay, not 24 that is kind of on topic, but 25 what where you thinking, we're here to talk about furry related stuff, not have a nerdy version of a macho pissing contest.

and again, was ANYONE on fchan at anthrocon "07

>>29
this isn't drama, its people talking to much about computers, instead of furrys. its off-topic. thats it.

Get this thread back on topic before I have to ban myself for going off topic  >:(

yea were deff. off topic..lets go back
>>16
yes..i would die to have a furry tail..like a fox tail..Mmmmm :p
o..ahm.yea..so lets try to get this thread back on topic
haha

>>35
funny.
I would have pictures one of those 'demon tails'
you know, long, skinney prehensile, hairless, and comes to a arrowhead point or something. picture the uses for sex, or holding things, or being very expressive.

Genetic engineering, stem cells, injections and such... People grow tails... And sell tail sleeves that look really cool. Fashiony. Everyone would get 'em!
