Oh boy, here we go!
Did you know that the urge to transform and lose your human form is associated with mood disorders, clinical depression and schizophrenia? Individuals with disturbed personality that is either shakened or missing important social parts, tend to seek their "inner natural personality" by exploration (usually at the age of 12-25 [boys] when the neroulogial development is most important); and that's where the animals come in as they symbolize freedom (pure and righteousness; the natural choice). This is also common in tribal cultures. At this state of mind, the individual is very open to drastic changes, as they're extremely adaptable to their social surroundings, usually caused by teenagehood from factors such as school and family.
I believe most furries had a few disturbances in their childhood, and they should not be attacked because they're victims.

in my experiences people only have real issues with furries when they make their interests into their entire personality
it goes without saying that a good deal of furries most likely have social issues but to go so far as to call them victims seems a little preemptive
it seems like that group has a knack for making EVERYTHING ABOUT THEMSELVES related to furrydom, and thats why people are so bothered about it.

this is actually probably the most interesting and most fleshed out retrospective on the fandom. i can't say i directly relate to it, maybe indirectly at most. i [I]do[/I] have bipolar depression but i just think "animal people" (to put it simply) are aesthetically pleasing character/race archetypes in art as a whole. it tickles the same part in my brain when i learn about gods from various pantheons and the associated mythology at large.
i don't pick khajiit and argonians simply because fandom bandwagon, it's because i genuinely prefer these designs over 3 flavors of elf and 3 more of human.
the best way i can describe why i find these designs preferable isn't a symbolism of freedom or any of that other stuff, but moreso because despite being familiar in individual elements have a lot more potential than say elf flavors or human flavors in how varied they can be. it's safe to say all elves and humans in skryim are derived from primate lineage (completely forgetting lore, going entirely off of darwinist observations), but you can't say the same for khajiit or argonian. you can't even say that khajiit and argonians could have a common ancestor. one's obviously reptilian and the other feline.
now my personal perspective on this is it's a common artistic taste that strives for using familiar (and often times relatable!) elements from nature and fantasy to break up the monotony of human form while still drawing a lot of inspiration from it. it's a fantasy where diversity in the "people" that reside within it is much more drastic than skin color or facial feature arrangements.
i find it more difficult to believe that this many kids suffering from emotional trauma look to this specific taste in art as form of coping or expressing themselves. i can't speak for everyone, but usually the easiest explanation is most likely to be true. people like animal people, it's been part of human culture since before history was recorded. if liking animal people = traumatized childhood, then maybe we should start panicking because zootopia is selling a fuckton of merchandise and countless children are becoming obsessed with a single movie about a fox and a rabbit that wear pants.

this is mostly a problem with the fandom being, at worst, a hugbox echochamber and throwing socially acceptable behavior out the window to preserve expression. it's invasive performance art that's frighteningly important to the artists.
Y'know what? Brawl kicked ass. I'm sick of feeling inadequate for defending it.
It remains the best-sold and highest-rated Smash game out there and that it's no longer talked about as much due to not appearing in tournaments nowadays is [i]not[/i] a slight against its quality or longevity. It had an incredible soundtrack (even 4's soundtrack is only as good because of how many returning Brawl originals there were), a truckload of content, excellent visuals - not even just for the Wii but among all of Gen7, and what remains the best single-player section of the entire series. I even still consider it to have the better stage builder considering how much content and usability 4's builder lost in exchange for freeform platform drawing. And I really cannot deny how little I [i]care[/i] that it was poorly-balanced when you consider how well it did [b]everything else.[/b] Brawl's not a good comp game. Whatever. It wasn't [i]meant[/i] to be. And PM will [i]never[/i] overwrite it, especially when you consider how small a percentage of Brawl owners even installed it.
In a sense, Brawl still remains the most ambitious Smash game ever. Even considering the massive cast of characters in 4 along with all the customization and third-party appearances, it never truly reached for the sky like Brawl did. Brawl aspired to be a titan of Smash games in terms of production value and what it did with the Smash formula, and y'know what? It damn well succeeded. It's no longer the public standard for Smash with 4 on the scene, but it sure as hell earned its stripes in its time, especially for what was intended to be the finale of the series. 4 may be a revival - a sort of "great return" - but Brawl capped off the original trilogy in [i]style.[/i] Don't get me wrong, I love 4. Hell, I loved the original and even Melee (the Melee that Nintendo made, not what it was turned into) - those games were my [i]childhood[/i] - but Brawl will always hold a special place in my heart.

The Conjuring sequel was ape shit
I'm really not looking forward to the new Zelda. Everything new they showed didn't impress me and, honestly, the 3D Zelda games following the OoT formula didn't really bother me. Like I'm not opposed to change, but most of the things they showed just looked like other things I could do in other games better. I also feel like one of the few people that also doesn't like the game's artstyle.
I know the game still has about a year before it comes out and that a lot can change, but so far, I'm not hyped at all. I [i]really, really[/i] want to be proven wrong and actually love the game.

Personally I don't see why anything involving purely fictional characters is wrong. Those things might not be my cup of tea they're also not harming anyone so I don't see why I should care about them in the least.

couldn't agree more
people who go around and verbally attack/harrass furries are absolute assholes
you don't know what that person is going through, if you're trying to force "be socially acceptable" and "stop with this weird animal shit" down their throats, then you need to back the fuck off and reconsider what you're doing
in some cases they may even feel suicidal, and use this as a way to actually feel good about themselves
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;50536697]The Conjuring in general is apeshit. It just stands out because truly great horror is fucking almost impossible to come by.[/QUOTE]
Wanna see a real good horror show? Go outside. Life is scary.
On a similar note to my previous post, games are getting too fast. Most gamers want that, but I don't. When I play L4D, I like to comb the environment for supplies and good defensible points to fall back on before moving along, while other players want to get to the safehouse ASAP.
I've actually been playing quite a bit of MechWarrior Online recently - having discovered it on a whim and otherwise knowing nothing about the MechWarrior universe - and as a shooter, I really like how slow and "think about every moment" it is. You don't get much of that nowadays. Everything's about quick movement and APM and speedy plays for eSports fans to go nuts over, when I just want a methodical shooter that's more about careful decisions rather than how fast your fingers are.

Not every game needs to give you choice for your character's apperance/gender.

I recently saw game that had comments criticizing the game because it didn't have a romance route for a gay relationship.
Dinosaurs are overrated
[QUOTE=EuSKalduna;50540190]Dinosaurs are overrated[/QUOTE]
Oh wow how fitting the rating message said rrerr when I rated this disagree
Feathered dinosaurs are much cooler than scaled dinosaurs.
125 people in Orlando have recently reduced their carbon footprint, thus helping the environment.
Also about this furry shit, I think anthropomorphized birds are really cool, but that's likely because of the Egyptians and their crazy gods, especially Horus. Fucking Horus, man. I remember how fascinated I was (and still am) about birds and when I first read about Horus my mind was blown
Anyone who thinks this isn't badass speak now or forever hold your peace

Also I really don't like all this crazy furry smut and the disgusting drama the furry community tends to spew forth, but [i]damn[/i] do some artists have a really appealing style and sets of characters.
ancient egypt is just cool as shit i dont think many people could contest that
Because the Hololens is a thing, Microsoft should show off traditional games at next year's E3 (i.e: Magic: The Gathering, Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer 40,000 Dark Heresy)

This is an incorrect assumption. Not all furries want to lose their human form. #NotAllFurries
Plus it's a very dangerous precedent when it comes to criticising someone's behavior. Yeah most furries are furries because they have fucked up lives, but that isn't an excuse to let some of them be retarded when it comes to social contact with others. You're enabling people to say "OH I HAVE ASPERGERS/AUTISM/BIPOLAR DISORDER/DEPRESSION/OTHER MENTAL ILLNESS OR DISORDER YOU CAN'T CRITICIZE ME!"
Morrowwind was the weakest scrolls game imo
There are so many fantasy games that try to be edgy and "not your mom's fantasy game, our orcs and new and ~unique~", that I think Oblivion actually broke ground by being the only good open world traditional fantasy game.
[QUOTE=bdd458;50538349]Not every game needs to give you choice for your character's apperance/gender.[/QUOTE]
I know you're probably referring to more linear and story-driven games (which I also agree with), but even for open world sandboxes, I think the idea of not being given a choice for your character is really neat. So many games give you a ton of options to customize your guy, and while the majority of games should still include and expand on that, it's refreshing when a game like Rust takes away that customization. I have no interest in playing Rust, but I kind of want to buy the game when it goes on sale for like a buck just to see my predetermined color/gender/epeen size is. I find it ridiculous how much backlash Garry got for making that decision. Not every game should have to conform to people's preferred appearance (99% of the time being a boring white guy anyway). It makes the game more interesting that way, I don't think it has anything to do with a diversity agenda at all. And if someone genuinely refuses to play a game because they have to be black/a girl, I think they may have some problems unrelated to video games anyway :v:
There needs to be more narrative driven games that don't give you any choices that have a significant effect on the main plot. Like SOMA, for example. I absolutely loved that things got (gonna keep this spoiler free) more and more bleak as the game progressed, and it really had me hoping that things would get better, but because of how well it played out, I was completely content with the sadness.

I think many more movies need sad endings, or the bad guy wins. I'm tired of the good guys always getting clean, flawless victories.
