Q: Does Ockie Like Furries?

Nick333 said:
Cool. I get porno fanart and hentai, so my only disconnect is sexualizing anthropomorphic characters ( I don't really get sexualizing really cartoonish characters like the Simpsons either), but that's me. So ja, guess you lot aren't particular weird. It seems like harmless, geeky fun for the most part.

Pretty much yes, and to be honest I am not immune to being hit on some of the really deviant furries. They have made passes at me but I tell them calmly I am married and I am straight.
 
Actually, I was quite into that one chick from the Thundercats, so...

So the fandom is growing, world-wide and I think this is a good thing in some respects.
But yes, calm explanations and a good sense of humour are always winners when broaching this subject:)

Here's how I got into it (You can read the magazine next month for the full story and give me feedback later)
I got in via my hobby of being a collector of Sonic The Hedgehog merchandise, being a great player of the games and an all-round fanatic of the franchise.
I began to interact with the Sonic fandom overseas around the end of 1999, all done via 33k dialup :crying:
Within three months I knew what a furry was.. and by 2001 I was fully familiar with furry art. I saw the start up of DeviantArt, I've seen the meteoric rise of anthropomorphic fan art and therefore I've been a furry for nearly 20 years. I kept it hidden mostly because of how South Africans are with this sort of thing- very judgemental etc.



Yes there is.. because even from the 70s, artists have drawn anthropomorphic females in a sexually suggestive way. This now means that its accepted in the fandom to draw and produce artwork covering every vanilla sexual act, and of course every fantasy, including the stuff from 50 shades. People producing this kind of artwork are in high demand, to the extent that the really good ones are able to make a comfortable living off their art. I have tested this myself and by god it works.

So you have furries that, in addition to regular pr0n, enjoy seeing anthro cartoony animals getting their freak on.
Then you have the very small minority, I'd say around 3% that take this a step too far, and spend as much as R20k on a suit that has all the facilities to allow them to have sex like animals do. Most of us, myself included feel very disgusted by this, and these people are quite openly shunned or avoided. I do not have any desire or inclination to even attempt this. I prefer to bone humans.

Now as a straight male I can assure you, there is art out there, of anthropomorphic females that is so damn good that it doesn't matter how hard you try and rationalise it, you will fly at full mast.

Also bear in mind that many furries suffer with ADHD or Aspergers and I can assure you, that as a sufferer myself, tactile sensory integration has been a huge problem for me. So for some very rare furries it is that bad that they need to touch fur, and I don't know, possibly while making love. The problem is they should keep it private, but alas, they have to broadacast to the world their prowess in bed, with a fursuit on at that. Cringe of the highest order.

Now none of this is much of a surprise to me.. having seen it all in the anime fandom, and the Sonic fandom is equally deviant..

As for art...
Sadly work keeps me busy and I tend to keep a positive spin on the fandom so I use what time I have to produce furry media for general consumption (and to allow outsiders to see a more positive picture) and my Sonic comics.
I adore drawing these guys, I cannot explain why, it just is. I also love drawing bunnies but ja.. when I have my new studio, we will see:

Do all Furries want to dress up - or do they have fursonas without wearing fur?

Not all furries want to dress up, and many don't have a fursuit, at all. They have a fursona and that is usually a character they created themselves whom they are online and at cons. In my case:

ArtyLoop
Species: Grey Wolf
Attributes: Short fur, grey and white on the belly
Height: 1.66m
Eye colour: Blue

This information is usually worn as a conbadge, which is like the badge one might get at rAge, but with an art of your 'sona and his or her name, and on the back all the info given as I did here.
An example of a conbadge:

Many don't even have a fursona. Some have 30 of them. Some people just draw a set of characters and give them names and characteristics.

I have only met a few of those. And yes. I have two fursonas... the other one is part of the Sonic universe.
 
I have always had a thing for Tigger - but somehow I don't think it is the same thing ;)

That is gorgeous. I loved playing the PS game. This must really have set you back a bit.
