Furries have hair-trigger tempers even worse than anything this fandom has to offer. They're very insecure.

you mean Pisces? Oh well, anti-furries have hair-trigger tempers even far worse than anything this fandom has to offer. They're very insecure

Impious #1140410 4 months ago

Furries are just mad that our fandom is just like theirs, only 80% less fucked-up. And we grew to their size in just a year when it took them like twenty years, and all they have to show for it is the worst reputation on the internet. I've brought up ponies around people I know and they either laugh and shake their head or they start a discussion themselves. And yet I've brought up furries around people I know and instantly a discussion of how fucking disgusting they are starts up and lasts a good while. Everyone has horror stories.

Impious #1140412 4 months ago

...Okay, we're nowhere near as big. The furry fandom is a moral-devouring eldritch abomination latched onto the internet's asshole.

Anonymous #1140481 4 months ago

@hoers Insecurity. Furries are insecure about their fetishes (or the way they look in association with Furries with those fetishes) and thus become defensive at the slightest provocation. Bronies are insecure about the idea of being associated with Furries and so inadvertently mimic the very defensive nature that helped get furries their reputation. Tl;dr ponyfags are off-brand furfags

CodenameOne #1140489 4 months ago

Objectively speaking we are JUST like the furries in the sense that our fandoms pretty much do the same thing; sexualize our favorite characters, write fanfics, and draw art. The only difference is what the fans are fans of. Honestly the only reason the furries are collectively hated is because FOX news painted them in such a negative light, and everyone believed them.

What happens when a bunch of furries decide to crash a bronie convention?

Anonymous #1140494 4 months ago

@ProfessorOfHoers Because some bronies do not like being categorized automatically as being cat fuckers. Not that I am saying they are but that's just what most people think and I do not like being seen as that. It does not help when the loudest of furries or even just plain trolls post their pictures just for a negative reaction. Again, I do not hate them but I do hate being included in their mostly incorrect stereotypes. I only debate against the furries who act as though I called them a fur fag and raped their mother because I do not think equines are sexually attractive.

Blissful_Dreams #1140505 4 months ago

@494 Same premise as mine. I'm a Fox but I do not wish to be associated with Furries or OtherKin as I'm not into their fandoms/culture. Though I do learn them.

No, trueblood Kitsune. Currently inhabiting a human body. I hate it, but it's part of my learning.

CodenameOne #1140536 4 months ago

I don't see any other reason for hate, anon 508, they are just like any and all other fandoms(including ours) in that they do the same things I mentioned. The only difference is that the things they're sexualizing are animal-based anthropomorphic creatures. We do the exact same thing, except with cartoon ponies. And pictures of anthro ponies exist and most of them are accepted and liked. There is absolutely NO fundamental difference between our two fandoms except that one is focused on intelligent equines(with canon anthropomorphic traits) and the other is focused on beings that are pure anthropomorphics of all the other animals on Earth.

ProfessorOfHoers #1140548 4 months ago

So that's why people don't like furries. Interesting. I guess I just don't care enough to hate most things. Anyway, you should check out The Protector Yeoseo. It's awesome.

Impious #1140558 4 months ago

...You see, Dreams, that's half the reason nobody takes furries seriously. You actually believe you're one of these made-up characters. Yeah, we all have our ocs, but I have yet to meet a brony who actually thinks he is a pony. THAT is the fundamental difference between these fandoms. We can at least discern fantasy from reality. Shit, I'd LIKE to be a pony and enjoy a not-fucked-up life in an easygoing utopia, but it'll never happen. C'est la vie. I don't blame you for wanting to live in your little fantasy, but what you furries do isn't healthy.

Anonymous #1140562 4 months ago

"Honestly the only reason the furries are collectively hated is because FOX news painted them in such a negative light, and everyone believed them." El wrongo, newfriend. Furry hate dates conclusively dates back to SA. 4chan had its April Fur's Day back in 2004 and furry hate was old *then*. You could make a case for it dating to at least Portal of Evil, although PoE had a nice ethos of "look and laugh, but don't touch". Bonus points if someone can bring up the name of that fan who was *obsessed* with Animaniac's Minerva Mink and got to the point where they made a skit mocking him on the show as early fursecution. Also, is this kitsune pinkie pie bitch back? I remember when she "quit" Poniborru all sobbing and shit. NOPONY CARES

Anonymous #1140566 4 months ago

@CodenameOne Not all bronies sexualize ponies, the term brony is associated to someone who enjoys the show, not someone who wants to sexualize anything. Not that I'm saying furries sexualize everything but they are generally...attached to fur while bronies just watch a show and enjoy it.

ProfessorOfHoers #1140571 4 months ago

Yeah, it reminds me of the old occult circles where people thought they were some kind of spirit medium or vampire (or psy vampire) or whatever dumb shit. I think roleplaying can be fun but I can't take people who take it serious seriously. Still don't hate them though. Just think it's kind of odd.

Blissful_Dreams #1140582 4 months ago

Go to Japan and say "Kitsune's don't exist" See how many locals would shun you.

Impious #1140585 4 months ago

Professor, it's one thing to take roleplaying seriously. It's another thing entirely when you ship your "fursona" with someone else's and take mates over the internet that you will likely never meet in real life, and get all yiffy and cuddly and shit and actually believe you're doing it. They wonder why people think they're fucking freaks. A bunch of grown men watching a little girl's show about magical ponies seem normal in comparison.

Blissful_Dreams #1140590 4 months ago

Same for Korea, Thailand, Laos, India, Pakistan, Nepal, China.

ProfessorOfHoers #1140591 4 months ago

^Yeah, but I'm the "worst" kind of brony so I just can't bring myself to hate anyone over whatever. I'm pretty laid back as a general rule.

"Go to Japan and say "Kitsune's don't exist" See how many locals would shun you." Could do the same with Americans and Christ, they're both still imaginary.

Impious #1140595 4 months ago

And Dreams? People in Japan would shun me anyways because they hate anyone that qualifies as a "gaijin". Your argument is irrelevant.

CodenameOne #1140706 4 months ago

@anon 566. There are bronies who sexualize and bronies who just enjoy the show, like you said, but the exact same thing can be said for the furries. Honestly speaking the furries aren't sub-human or any worse than us or any other fandom. We are not special, guys, we aren't 'different', but we sure as shit are guilty of doing the same things the furries have done. As for Impious saying the furries actually believe that they are anthro animals I have NEVER once met a furry who believed that, and I was not only once a furry myself but part of a large community comprised solely of them.

Our furries are different then, kid. But don't lump us in with the bastards. Clearly you have something wrong, or else the vast majority of bronies -and the internet at large- wouldn't be so loathe to be associated with them. When THIS MANY people have such a strong dislike of furries and each have very good reasons, I don't know, you might be wrong?

CodenameOne #1140758 4 months ago

I MIGHT be wrong, Impious, but probably not. And I have yet to see anyone give good, legitimate, reasons for disliking and hating them or any other kind of reason with the exception of the usual "they're sick bastards that should yiff in hell." I was once a furry myself, I was once part of a rather sizable website FOR furries, I have seen what they're like. The majority of them are NOT "sick bastards that should yiff in hell" but rather a typical fandom that has all the different factions every other fandom has, and we'd be naive to think otherwise. The only reason the internet as a whole doesn't want to be associated with them is because they were painted in a negative light by the media. We have, for the most part, survived the media(with the exception of FOX news but they don't count) but that doesn't give us or any fandom free pass to dis on them. Nor does it make us 'special'. I'm sick of people hating on the furries for absolutely no objectively good reason. Was our mantra not Love and Tolerance? Or was that all just fucking idealistic propaganda to pull the wool over everyone's eyes so they wouldn't realize that we are just like every other fandom?

Jack-o-Lantern #1140759 4 months ago

Impious #1140774 4 months ago

"Love and tolerance" was just a counter-troll from the days of /co/, don't pretend like it's a huge guiding principle. It's not mentioned ONCE on the show. I'd hate furries a lot less if people like you weren't so hell-bent on lumping us in with them. Why would you possibly want us to be associated with such a widely-hated community? Give me a few good reasons. What good could possibly come of us associating with furries? And Jack, shut up. I'm not being mean. This isn't close to me being mean. I legitimately want to know why any of you would want this fandom to be grouped together with a fandom that has basically evolved into an engine of horrors.

Takashi_0 #1140783 4 months ago

>I'm not being mean Yes you are. And CodenameOne gave plenty of good reasons. But if you're too much of a hate-blinded asshole to pay any heed to them, I wouldn't be surprised at all. And another thing, who fucking cares if it's in the show or not? It's still a worthy goal. One that you'd look into if you wanted to prove you aren't a complete prick.

Impious #1140792 4 months ago

So what you're saying is... You want to be associated with furries? I'm baffled.

Yorec #1140796 4 months ago

Impious I want to know one thing. Why is is that you are so vitriolic towards the furry fandom? Did they do something to harm you personally or something? Hell the brony fandom has come up with some pretty sick shit but I never hear you calling those people out. Oh and as far as I know no one has tried to meld the furry and brony fandom together, as far as I know. Yes there are furries who are bronies but I haven't heard of some big movement to bring the fandoms together.

HeinousActsZX #1140797 4 months ago

Some of the furry artists are fantastic. I'd like to see more of that, yeah.

CodenameOne #1140798 4 months ago

Because they AREN'T the engine of horrors. Good God, man, just because they're widely hated doesn't mean they're actually evil in any way, shape, or form. We do the same things as they do, we draw/write the ponies engaged in sexual acts and fetishes, and we make our own characters and personas. We are the EXACT same fandoms with the exception of what we're interested in. There is no fundamental difference, and there is absolutely no excuse or legitimate reason for hate between us and them.

BattleGT #1140805 4 months ago

TheLoneLampman #1140816 4 months ago

Wow, a lot of shit slinging. I generally try not to stir up anything, but I'm having to side on Impious and others here. I've spent nearly 10 years of my life in the furry community (since ~1996) and hundreds of hours per week in IRC chatrooms. I've even been to 3 cons. I can say without a single doubt in my mind that they live up to most of the fucked up stereotypes. It is a hyper-sexualized drama-filled community, with no lack of bat-shit crazy people (in the BAD way). Hands-down. I don't exactly hate them and I have had plenty of good times. Some of my best friends online are furries. It's just hard to see things for what they are until you get to take a step back.

Impious #1140817 4 months ago

Bad experiences, Yorec. Maybe I'm just in denial. I don't want to see this fandom become universally hated like the furry fandom is, regardless of whether or not it's justified. Shit, guys, I know not all furries are bad. I have friends who are furries, and they're pretty benign. But I hate that you all seem so willing to lump us in with them, when all that would accomplish is bringing down even more hate on our fandom. Furries have a bad rep for a variety of reasons, we don't need more of that in this fandom. There's enough of it as it is. What bronies have going for them is that the sexual aspect of the fandom isn't the majority. For furries, it's the opposite. It's the last thing we need. I'd like to stop hating furries, really, I would. But every time I venture back into the fandom to give it another chance I'm assaulted on all sides by the sickest shit you can imagine. Can you blame me for not liking them?

MrFox #1140818 4 months ago

CogWeaver #1140822 4 months ago

Take what good you can find, and put that in a functioning order in the whole. There are good furries and bad furries. There are good bronies and bad bronies. There are good homestuckers and bad homestuckers. Build bonds with the good, and leave the bad in the dust.

Takashi_0 #1140826 4 months ago

>Maybe I just don't want to see us become as widely hated as furries. Oh my fucking God, do you live under a rock?! This may come as a complete shock to you, but EVERYONE ALREADY HATES US. Why the hell do you think Ponychan was created? Why do you think M00t made a separate board for ponies? BECAUSE EVERYONE FUCKING HATES US AND PUTS ON THE SAME LEVEL AS THE STEREOTYPICAL FURRY FANDOM. My mind. It is full of so much fuck you couldn't BEGIN to comprehend it.

I_Like_Your_Mane #1140842 4 months ago

I disagree Impious. At least bronydom is still anchored in the cute, innocent, fun little cartoon series. The problem with furries is that a lot of them do not have anywhere to vent their hobbies on. So it's just a recurring OC war again and again with them. I don't mind the R34 or anything like that, but they do sometimes go a tad overboard with fetishism to the point where it just becomes ridiculous. It seems most bronies aren't even close to that level considering the vast majority just like well drawn, totally understandable R34 and other OC material that doesn't totally crap on its fandom or is only made to troll the fanbase (though it's there... and of course, furries doing Pony art. Which is fine, considering some segment of bronydom are furries). It'd be hilarious if Furries finally get a TV show where they can direct their fandom at.

Impious #1140843 4 months ago

Takashi, are you upset or is it just me? Calm down bro, we're all rational human beings here. Well, I don't know about Blissful_Dreams. Apparently it's a fox. My point is... We're a bunch of grown men (and some women) who watch a cartoon for little girls, and we aren't immediately ostracized for it. We practically own a tiny slice of pop culture, however insignificant we may be. Most people, from what I've seen personally, are ambivalent or receptive of our fandom, if a little wary. And who wouldn't be wary? The moment we openly associate with furries, we're basically telling everyone "oh, it's because we want to fuck ponies." That's essentially the effect furries have on people, and how we'll be seen as whole. Instead of a quirky bunch of bored adults, we'll be seen as a bunch of sick fucks. Doesn't matter if it's true. Is that really what you want?

Clover_Patch #1140844 4 months ago

Shit. Piss. Foalcon. Jizzing on toys. People who can't fuck off and take no for an answer when somebody just isn't interessted. What exactly is it that the furry fandom has that the bronies don't already in some quantity?

BattleGT #1140846 4 months ago

Takashi you're overreacting dude. M00t created a board as a means of alleviating the stream of ponies into other boards based on all the screencaps I've seen of him. And Ponychan's creation had no correlation with the fact that "EVERYONE" hates us.

ChickNeighney #1140847 4 months ago

MaroonBunyip #1140853 4 months ago

CogWeaver #1140873 4 months ago

@Impious Kitsune, actually. Fox in human form is the easiest way to describe it. But belaying that, as Blissful and her beliefs aren't here at the moment, I think I need to understand furry mentality before I can make any real assumptions about the state of things besides my previous statement. Mostly because I haven't had any actual confrontations/connections with any who could be considered a "furry", I have to wonder what makes a furry. I mean, it's not just as simple as anthropomorphising animals, else people like Disney could be considered furries.

Takashi_0 #1140876 4 months ago

My point is that it doesn't matter at all if we associate with furries or not, because every non-brony and everyone who calls us cancer does that anyway. Clover_Patch summed it up perfectly. We're not that different because we have just as many freaks as they do. I don't give a rats ass if we do, I'm saying it won't make a difference at all to anyone not already in the fandom. @GT: Uh yeah, it does. Everyone who got sick of being spammed and insulted on /co/ migrated to Ponychan. M00t did the same with /mlp/ to make everyone shut the fuck up and stop arguing over what to do with ponies. Either way, it's because a lot of fucking people hate us, and no rational human being who actually did research on furries would give a damn about us being lumped in with them. We'd still be called manchildren.

Impious #1140884 4 months ago

That's 4chan, though, Takashi. Is it really that surprising? Anyway, better be safe than sorry. I'd rather not risk it. ...You know what, well, fuck it. I'm tired, so let's just say I'm wrong. We're all sick fucks who fantasize about having sex with cartoon horses, and I actually believe I'm a unicorn and I have a mate on the internet who's probably a dirty, creepy sex offender. Neigh. Nothing bad could possibly come of openly embracing the furry community as our own. No way we'll be ostracized even more than we already are, right? Right. Sing Kumbaya. Love and tolerance and all that shit. I have class in the morning, some things are more important than discussing the implications of merging with another fandom with the worst reputation possible on the internet. I tried, god damn it.

Clover_Patch #1140893 4 months ago

The furry fandom got ruined because a few people got out in front, called themselves "furries" and told the world it was a sex thing. Between people running with it because they can always use somebody new to laugh at and the people who wanted a place to be loud about their fetishes and feel validated poured in. Forget about being part of the furry fandom or not being part of the furry fandom for a second. What the hell do we do if disgusting smelly people get out in front of the cameras and start yelling about how being about being a brony means wanting to fuck Fluttershy? The hell with the millions and millions of clean fan artwork, animation and songs. It's about wanting to fuck a yellow horse in the ass. Do you think the media will talk to them or the normal dude who kicks back with ponies to relax after a hard day at work but keeps things in perspective? People want drama. They want to feel better than other people. We can try to jettison the people who can't behave in public and say "Uh, we aren't with them." but some people will say "OH, YES YOU ARE!" They already do.

TheLoneLampman #1140895 4 months ago

You aren't alone, Imp. Not by a long shot.

TheLoneLampman #1140906 4 months ago

@Clover: Which is exactly why I secretly hope that maybe the world really will end in 2012, because people are assholes when you get right down to it.

CogWeaver #1140914 4 months ago

>merging with another fandom ... ...Wait, THAT'S what this was all about? *facepalm* You guys do realize "fandoms" are made because of common interest, right? You can't just merge two of them together suddenly. If they're two distinct fanbases, then unless something bigger than the both of them draws them together they won't ever become one whole fanbase. If that were to happen, Bronies would have started out being Furries, or a chunk of Furries would have made up just about the entirety of the Bronies in the first place. Furries aren't Bronies because, in the simplest way of saying it, they lack interest in FiM. Bronies aren't Furries because, in the simplest way of stating it, we're too infatuated with canon source material to start indulging our own OCs to the point of losing any connection to the original source material.

I_Like_Your_Mane #1140947 4 months ago

I can sympathize with your point Impious. Though I somewhat lean to what Takashi is saying. To people who know nothing about MLP fandom, they probably haven't bothered to look into furrydom as well. A lot of non cartoon viewing people are kind of ignorant towards all these weird fetishisms and the like online. It's neither here nor there for them. That said, for those who DO know these paradigms a little, it's kind of a funny thing. How the hell would supposed 'non furries' know so much about it and go knee-deep in the material themselves? If I had to be controversial about it, perhaps a lot of haters are at least a slight bit furry fans themselves without realizing it. I don't really openly call myself anything. I just appreciate fun, good art no matter what. I can sympathize with both viewpoints. With art, it's just not that easy to pinpoint anything. Plus, if confronted by the R34/Furry stuff to normal people in regard to the fandom, we all know it's a smaller part of the whole fandom experience. And one that is wholly skippable (as even this site totally blocks most NSFW images unless you unlock it). And stuff like furry sites... well, you have to openly seek those out.

BattleGT #1140952 4 months ago

And the post of the thread goes to CogWeaver. Overall I think people would enjoy themselves and the fandom more if they didn't take themselves or the show so seriously. It's been something that quite a few of us on here have been saying for the past few months. That's not to say i don't hear the concerns of those in the thread but with the way Media Specific fandoms work I don't think you'll have to worry about the whole"omg these guys are perverts being the main rap it gets" The main rap quite frankly is "Holy crap those Bronies are so annoying and won't stop forcing their dumb show on me"

I_Like_Your_Mane #1140970 4 months ago

I agree BattleGT. The funny thing is, the haters take this show WAY FREAKING SERIOUSLY (also in episodic breakdowns and discussion where fringe fans make all sort of demanding hyper analysis of the whole thing. Probably closet bronies but still). While more core fans just take it as a fun, unexpected ride into the fandom like it's supposed to be. Trolls constantly targeting the fandom is hilarious, because it's like trying to attack a rubber ball.

@TLL They are a lot bigger and more general. "Brony" is specific to My Little Pony fans but "Furry" is just "likes animal-people". More fits the definition. Back before bronies, the adults who watched the show were a teeny tiny niche with an even tinier sliver of the fan art pie being porn. When FIM hit, there was suddenly more fans, the art-pie got bigger and so did the porn slice. Furry fan art is a HUGE ASS pie, plus the fandom attracted people who are way too public about their porn. How to find the clean art? Browse Fur Affinity while not logged in. If they won't show you smut without being logged in, that should take care of it. It won't all be GOOD art but whatever. @Takashi There are assholes but there's wonderful people and interessting stuff at the same time. I hope we don't lose that.

"Overall I think people would enjoy themselves and the fandom more if they didn't take themselves or the show so seriously." BattleGT, there are people who need that engraved on a plaque they can look at everyday. I mean, everybody should keep it in mind but I know a couple who could use a physical plaque.

Yeah I know what you're saying, Clover. I've watched the increase in porn content around the pony fandom over time. I've also noticed that a lot of it has roots in shock or comedy too. I have a rather large disinterest of anything sexual but find some amusing-- it's easy to take the R34 stuff in stride because a lot of it is 'innocent' nature, if that makes any sense. I know you can't control what people create; I just know how irritating it is when it becomes almost impossible to avoid. This was one of the main reasons I abandoned the furry fandom. It was always at the forefront. Another reason I left it, I will save for later if it has to be brought out. For now, I'll just say that it was vaguely traumatizing and leave it at that.

Is there any point in arguing this further? Is there any real exchange of ideas and points? All this is right now is a thread of people agreeing with each other and telling the other group they are wrong. (This may not be entirely true as I've been skimming this thread while resisting drowsy medicine.) What else could you or anybody else possibly say that will put your side above the other? It's a back and forth of the people who wanted or want to be popular and the people who feel they have some kind of obligation to defend another group. The fact of the matter is people will hate you. This isn't your fucking kindergarten class and people aren't going to always think you're the greatest thing to prance on out of another person. You aren't some shining knight who has the duty to protect people. There isn't some prize for being the best fandom and there isn't any way that Joe Shit on the street is going to think highly of you for spending most of your time on a computer. You are just a person at a computer who hasn't begun to accept you probably aren't shit and will never be anything but shit. I am, you are, he is, and she is. That's my two cents anyway.

@TLL Meh. Guys had pony art WAY early in this fandom even at late 2010. Megasweet's hilarious R34 was a thing for a long, long time as well. Not to mention the furry connection = instant and hilarious R34. It's neither here nor there. Watch any anime with schoolgirls in it and they'll have ridiculously raunchy lolicon sex anyway. And nobody seems to particularly care about the 'moral implications' of those.

^all that shows is that everyone you know is apparently a moral degenerate, the sexualisation of children actually turns a lot of people off of anime.

I_Like_Your_Mane #1141359 4 months ago

^ Anime is the same story of too much paranoia about nothing. We're talking strictly fanart, which always flirts with rule 34 no matter what. Anime as it stands rarely ever has true nudity anymore. Not nearly as much open violence either as both aspects are heavily censored nowadays (even when they weren't, it was not a big, degenerative thing in stories).

>Honestly the only reason the furries are collectively hated is because FOX news painted them in such a negative light, and everyone believed them. Yeah but that's wrong you fucking retard.

Anonymous #1160023 3 months ago

>M00t did the same with /mlp/ to make everyone shut the fuck up and stop arguing over what to do with ponies. /mlp/ in contrast to /fur/ still stands and the reason is because we are anchored in an innocent and charming mainstream cartoon and not a shitload of aimless and extreme fetishism, but even that isn't the main reason furries are hated. Drama whoring, persecution complex, bandwagon mentality and trollbaiting were the main reasons they are considered largely obnoxious. The main reason bronies suddenly grew hated was [B]because[/b] of furries getting intergrated with our fandom dumping loads of sick fetishism porn, with no comedic value, and transforming the fanbase from mature adults with semi-ironic counter-trolls like "love and tolerance" enjoying a cartoon and some inside humor into a cult of easily trolled autists with persecution syndrome and pride-parades.

@Clover_Patch#1140893 >"The furry fandom got ruined because a few people got out in front, called themselves "furries" and told the world it was a sex thing." That's fucking bullshit and you know it! Furrdom was in its very essence sexual or at least linked to questionable content like anthropomorphic representation (OCs and self-inserts) that are frowned upon by most sane people. You don't call someone a furry for liking Tiny Tunes, Duck Tales or similar shows. Drawing yourself as an anthropomorphic fox in stockings and declaring "that's Starla, it's not me, she is an a-sexual hermaphrodite, and she definetely does NOT suck the cock of her half-panther sister" doesn't make it any less wierd and upnerving to the common-denominator of aesthetics, also soving it to people's faces while crying about "how misenderstood you are" doesn't make it any better.
