[QUOTE=Tetracycline;31024130]This may be weird, but who cares? Why do you guys care? There aren't many annoying furries, unless your idea of being an annoying furry is...being a furry! Your extremely violent and aggressive opinions on these people are idiotic, they're just a bunch of adults trying to have a good time with other adults that share the same fetish, weird as it is, it doesn't hurt anyone so let them do it.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Mr. N;31041907]It's the fact they actually try to make it into a lifestyle and a "culture" is what is annoying. It is a fetish, a hobby at most, but the way they invade public places and websites and start to spew there insufferable interests around like other people must find it funny or interesting. Also roleplaying doesn't create a culture at all and I ask you, what "Inside Jobs" and "Rules of Conduct" do they have and how the HELL it relates to having a culture. I know plenty furries that troll and just seek to irritate, or ask to get mocked by making really stupid comments and arguments, and you got to be really dense not to notice that.[/QUOTE]
Culture as one of the definitions (which is what we want) presented by Wikipedia is "The set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes an institution, organization or group"
They have a shared goal (to satisfy their fetish), they have shared practices (roleplaying), they have shared values (believe it or not, furries actually don't really like outside attention, if [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furry_fandom#Public_perception_and_media_coverage[/url] holds any ground (Furry fans' belief that they will be portrayed as "mainly obsessed with sex" has led to mistrust of the media and social researchers.) holds any ground, they are afraid of it, knowing how they are portrayed.
And you can't blame the belief if some furries are bad at defending it.
This is the only furry I like

That was awkward, disturbing, retarded and funny at the same time. People sure are strange.
I wonder if you can cash in on this.
You know, like Japanese maid cafes.
[QUOTE=MIPS;31053626]I wonder if you can cash in on this.
You know, like Japanese maid cafes.[/QUOTE] Definitely. There are furry books, furry videogames and I know a guy whos pretty mainstream in the furry community who does furry art (even though hes not a furry himself) and gets anywhere from 20$ to 150$ drawing furries either have sex or just read a book. Anything that can complete a furries "fursona". So yea furries are a big money pit and people should jump in on it while its still young.

Exploit people's stupidity for money? Fantastic. :downs:

Whenever anything furry related gets posted on forums like these its always the dumbest of morons who honestly think they are in a position discussing something like this.

Isn't it the main fucking way to get money out there presently?
All kinds of advertisement, all kinds of promoting some kind of a lifestyle for your "benefits" (which are actually an exploit to get your money for the companies that happen to supply the lifestyle with necessary products), wide range of political bullshit (power = money), the way the fucking shelving is made in the supermarkets to make you buy shit you wasn't planing on buying, just to name a few.
I mean what world do you live in? ":downs:" kind?

I see where you are going, but I simply do not [I]see[/I] the material worth in buying (in this case from what imasillypiggy said, furry nick-nacks, sometimes warranting a king's ransom to purchase) silly little things
I only see worth in buying resources that one will use day in and day out, such as a personal computer(in my case, components to help fabricate one as that is a more cheaper and attractive option) for communication, work, and play. A badly drawn piece of pornographic "art" on a canvas for 90 USD? No. I am basing my statement on the idea of the use of the object and the general concept of just preserving money in general.
People at a convention specifically for them, meaning that no one who opposes their views on what is fun cannot witness said convention? In a thread clearly labled "FURRY GAMES 2011?"

I disagree. People think the art is worth something, so therefore it is. Just because YOU don't think furry art is worth however much the artist is charging (which most of the time is too low for the artist to make a living) doesn't mean it's worthless.
Do you say this about people with other hobbies? Those Steampunk people that were being drooled over in the other thread? Gun collectors?

you're not funny or even offering the slightest fragment of funny social satire
every side is dumb and guilty of this, so don't go lampooning people
I was the guy in the Referee shirt that convention was fun.
I want to throw up now
I love reading all these ignorant and discriminating comments that popup every time something like this is posted. Makes me facepalm because I remember that I am the same race as them, but it also reminds me how superior I am. For that I thank you. You can go hating black people again now.

Many would argue that a computer is not needed as well. And even if you say you only buy things you need, dont you buy games, candy, condoms and alcohol? You dont need that. Unless it is for fun, but then you have to accept that they can use money on things that makes them have fun.

Cool, because that was entirely my point right there. I don't really expect someone who thinks selling art is exploiting stupidity. In that case, Da Vinci was a master of deceiving people.

For some its there fetish so selling them it would be as wrong as welling someone a ball and chain if there into that kind of thing. If your talking about furry art well not all of its for a sexual thing some just like the art style and I see nothing wrong with someone commissioning art.

That doesn't mean shit. In the good old days, we had the inquisition, that doesn't mean it's not bad. he's saying that the main idea of doing business is a bad idea (which is).
And how so? Advertising or implanting ideas in the heads of other does not have to be evil. Showing people something don't know about which changes their opinion is pretty much what debating is.
