It's a bitch Yiffy. Khamon was shopping in a couple of furry sims today and could hardly see through all the nukes and particle bombs. Take heart though; one day you all will enjoy the pleasure of hosting your own giant furry grid and you'll be able to throttle these kinds of attacks.

Until then, you'll just have to suffer the slings and arrows of Philip's wora'uld.



I am so telling you guys, if a gang of furries went and kicked their ass, they would be so embarrased they would leave u guys alone, that or they would have new found respect for u.. /shrug

made a short comment and I get called ignorant by a bunch of people who LIKE TO FUCK ANIMALS.
I'm not a fur and I don't fuck animals; my post to you stands.

What really needs to be brought in is either group-level bans (active or inactive), and e-mail verification of sign-ups at the minimum.

The concept of group level bans makes me cringe.

I'm not an anti-furry troll. I don't obsess about it. I don't even think about it. made a short comment and I get called ignorant by a bunch of people who LIKE TO FUCK ANIMALS. So yes, I am going to defend myself.


I'm not a furry or a furry lover, but even I get what it's about. Even this last comment you made is -SO- ignorant. Think more on the lines of someone having sex with someone who's wearing a sports mascot costume or something--it's more on those lines--like having sex with a cartoon character: Why don't you research the fetish before continuing to make blanket statements like you have been.

My fetish is fat people, and that's not popular enough on SL to where I'm having to worry much about being harrassed--in fact, I've only seen 3 other fat characters in the 2 1/2 days I've been on SL.

Out of my depth?

So is there some sort of philosophical aspect of the furry lifestyle I'm missing out on, or is it just not okay to make fun of people who pretend they're animals and like thinking about having sexual relations with other animals?

Grow up, seriously.

As a matter of fact, you're apparently ignorant of about 90% of what it means to be a furry, and the small knowledge that you do seem to have is apparently based on misinformation like that CSI TV episode, that characterized furries as homosexual perverts. Guess what? It was a TV show... not a real life documentary! Classifying anyone who is into furry in the way that you did is about as accurate as stating that all high school students are gun-toting wackos who want to shoot their classmates.

Time for YOU to grow up, and actually try talking to someone who has been a furry for more than the amount of time it takes to get drunk and put on a furry avatar and do some strange stuff just for kicks. Talk to someone who has been a furry for several years, and it just might be an eye-opening experience for you. Yes, believe it or not, there's some pretty deep philosophical sides to it. And then there's art. And not just erotic art, either... To anyone who has actual knowledge of the furry lifestyle, your comments clearly mark you as being ignorant of a large amount of what 'furry' is all about.

And no, it is NOT OK to make fun of people in SL who are different than what you consider 'normal'. Try reading the Terms of Service for SL. The part where it says that you're supposed to be tolerant of others beliefs?

Great idea. We'll ignore the hell out of them from six sims away after they nuke us, or our small camp of plywood fucking CUBES.


That's an SL issue as a whole, not a furry issue. My advice stands, even for that as well. Report, and go along your business. I'm aslo a fan of plain old sitting (where applicable).

Christ! Talk about being tolerant.

Anyway, just because you guys have a large presence of "furries" or furry apologists doesn't mean it's in any way normal or socially acceptable. I honestly don't care about things like that. What you do in your bedrooms is your business. I don't watch CSI, either. But don't go after me just because you guys feel self-conscious about WANTING TO FUCK ANIMALS. Oh, I'm sorry if it's turned into an issue of semantics. I'm just so ignorant.

The ability to ignore people around SL's inherent flaws becomes exponentially more difficult as the level of griefing increases.

Maybe you live in the wrong society :p

Out of curiosity, was the wiki you referenced, oh... this one?

Maybe?

So why do you keep yammering on in this thread then?

That's an extremely interesting fact. Are there other television shows you don't watch? Will you be mentioning them in later posts?

You should click that big GUIDELINES link at the top of the page. It'll help alleviate some of your ignorance, and might save you from having your posts reported.

I love that a bunch of anime nerds think they have the right to attack furries.

Hint: you're both in weird sub-cultures that most people think are silly.

Set, I hope you're not named after the Egyptian God. If you are a member of Aquino's Church of Set, be ready to hear me laugh at you.

I think there's this problem right now with a lot of people who like to discuss what 'being a furry means!' when it doesn't really mean much of anything and is so highly subjective as to be laughable. It's a fucking metagenre. People do all sorts of crazy shit, normal shit and totally, astoundingly boring shit under the same banner.

For every five people in this thread who says 'Furries aren't about beastility!' there's going to be someone who it certainly is about that to them. If you don't think that's the case, you're free to google and hunt them down -- they're not exactly hiding.

Calling someone ignorant because that's their mental association (and not an uncommon one, at that, mind you -- lots of people have responded similarly) is not going to endear anyone to any other viewpoint.

However, given that this person's damn near first post was to stir you folks up (and did a great job at that -- you suck for being the 38123714th poster here to try it), you can safely disregard it and sleep well knowing no one (in this thread) thinks you sleep with animals for realz, yo.

You caught that too, eh?

*sighs* Another bogus comparison, which doesn't surprise me, since your grasp on logic appears to be... flawed.

Being that Phillip, the head of Linden Labs, has been known to use a female avatar with some really pretty dresses and many Lindens have furry avatars and even include free ones in the library... I don't think Linden Labs has any problem taking us seriously. In fact, several recent changes to the estate management tools were requested from Furnation Administration. Some of Linden Lab's most knowledgeable residents have helped solve problems in the game and are furry tp boot.

Don't worry, just as you hate furrys now, in time you will own a furry avatar.

I was unaware that fucking someone in a certain type of suit is comparable to infanticide.

So since I like girls in schoolgirl outfits, am I a pedophile?

I think your numbers are fantasticly skewed, but you are right. We even have our own derogatory terms for them.

Oh, I know. But it's a guilt-free way to work off some frustration.

I'm well aware, believe me. The numbers are totally arbitrary, I admit, too.
