As we wait to go live..

Anyone up for yiffing with me!?

Wha?

If you're in that mood, go to muck.furry.com 8888. Please. Before you lure over the people who give anthro fandom a bad name.

they had a good name? haha

hrmm i once again dont understand Julia

Don't sweat over it. Its a furry thing. I was making a poke at furry fandom. Furries don't need to be upset about it as it indeed does not represent the fandom as a whole.

Yiffing is the furry version of cybersex. As you will find most will treat it for the joke it is.

Now you know.

Ah, everyday I learn something new in SL ... lol

Yes, they did. Back in the day, when funny animal comics and childrens' book illustrators and Aesop all knew each other and said howdy on the street and had barbecues and talked shop, things were good. Then networking started between a bunch of people who decided to stir in a whole lotta sex. 1990 saw Furrymuck founded by a bunch of people who were bumping uglies behind the scenes both VR and RL. A 1994 article in Wired Magazine re: Furrymuck popularized the image of anyone tho liked the idea of anthropomorphs as perverted sex fiends, and the public scoffed while conveniently forgetting the funny animal comics and childrens' books they loved as kids. And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died, and they turned into oil. And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes. And Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothes. I couldn't believe it.

Now, of course, people hate the fandom without understanding it, because they don't want to understand it. They've been told (and shown -- thank you, Internet!) that it's a bunch of buttertrolls in fursuits jamming their willie wonkas in seam-sliced Warner Bros. stuffed animals. I could make the same boilerplate rant about animation (lol jap porn!), fans of Star Wars (lol Portman Leon pedo!), or of course fans of Maxfield Parrish (lol omg 1900s pedo pedo pedo!).

Thanks for starting this thread. I haven't had that much fun writing a post in some time.

Well, to me, furries get it just like the.. oh whats it called..

those peopl who watch sailor moon and dragon ball z? I think that's the equivalence for the animation sect of life.. they get bunched in with the actually good stuff or something.


Anyways, furries are cool are in my book. I don't think of them as sex fiends that some, I guess after reading so many replies here, are commonly known for now.

Matter of fact I can't think of one single furry in SL that is like that, and I've met more than I recall offhand.

Otaku. I think that's the word you're looking for.

I like Funny Animals and anthro stuff. Please, furries, stop having sex.

Funny, instead of "otaku" I would have said "children." That's the kind of word confusion that gets me in trouble at anime cons. Then again, my university club watched shows targeted at 9 to 10-year-olds in the original market.

Meeting the folks here in Second Life is about the best intro you could have to anthro fans. Except for those who just slap on cat ears and a tail to be fashionable.

OW! I meant, most of the people who just put on cat ears--

OW! Okay, okay!
