What's so bad about Furries & Goreans anyway?

Hmm, yep, certainly not compatible. Just tried a test. Teleported to a random gorean sim, hoping to get a notecard (heard that gorean sims give cards with an introduction). Didn't get one, so I just hung around without saying anything for a couple minutes waiting for things to load. First line directed to me was "no furries pls hahaha". After such a warm welcome I teleported somewhere else.

So got to agree with Michi here, no idea where the association came from, and as far as I can see, the goreans don't seem to want it.

It's not that Goreans are bad, it's that they're the Trekkies of BDSM. Oh, right, that, and they all answer to a giant cockroach. They'll deny it, but last I heard, the Sar-Dar (that means Priest Kings, the giant cockroach people) are upset that the Goreans in SL haven't been giving their anual gifts to the Sar Dar Mountain... They're aiming their deathray satelites right now as we speak... Or so a little beetle told me.

Need a diaper

Dale try Port Kar or Port Cos. And don't be on busy mode

Won't that get his ass kicked post haste?

They'll give notecards. Same with Tyros. All have landing points and you have to pass by the notecard givers to go to the main part of the sim unless you use a nonphys or prim movement...

Yeah. The giant insect ruler thing sounds presposterous until you look at the Reptilian-Clone-Zombies running the Bush Administration. During the Hu's Coming To Washington trip you didn't see the president of China walking funny and talking stiltedly like Bush was at the start of the campaign?

I've met more dumb non-gor/furries than gorian or furries.


In fact, ALL gorians I've met are cool people. Furries are sometimes immature kids... SOMETIMES.

What for? I've already found out all I wanted, except maybe the notecard, but I don't hurry with that. It was made pretty clear I'm not very welcome, which was all that I needed.

Based on this experiment I've got to agree with Michi on that goreans and furries teaming up sounds very unlikely. Although interestingly enough I recently heard there are goreans on furcadia.

awwwwzz...

I wander what the gors would do if i went shopping in there stores wearing a quadroped dog avatar. You know the kind of dogs we have IRL? They must have had those in the gorean story books and stuff... If they boot me for that, then i know for a fact it's to be fascist...

I have nothing personal against goreans. In fact i might have stood up for them in the past. But i want to make sure they have nothing personal against me for my choice of lifestyle. If they boot me for being a normal dog then i will know... I'l do a test with an alt to find out.

But why a dog, Yiffy? Dogs are tame and domesticated. They'll prolly just throw you a bone and expect you to sit up 'n' beg. Or roll over for a tummy rub. You're a wolf, a free spirit, never tamed.

Ok, forget the tummy rub bit, they're nice.

Acutally, when you consider the idea that the author, John Norman, at least initially was using the books as means to comment on American society in the 60s, this idea isn't that preposterous. Some critics argue that before Norman went, in their words, "Bat-shit crazy" in his later books, the Gor novels were a rather interesting attempt to explore social, political, and sexual issues though the medium of fantisy/sci fi in the same way that H.G. Wells and Edgar Rice Burroughs had done.

The Priest Kings, for example, are seen by some as a metaphor for the class of cold-war era technocrats that got America into questionable situations such as Vietnam. And it is kind of fun picturing Robert MacNamara and the "best and brightest" as a race of huge insectoid beings who casually puttered around with the lives of ordinary humans.

well then,

CASE CLOSED!

Welcome to the internets.

I dunno where this came from, but something I found while surfing. http://www.tinypirate.com/index.php?p=35

Well there is also the shedding.

Odd. Some goreans I've met have been controlling, immature, and of a delicate ego. (I don't get to talk to thier slaves, as I may remind them it's role-play and they'd get all uppity at the treatment they receive.) Just SOME, though.

Bah.

Comedy!

Be sure to read the comment though, that's where the real truth is.

Wow. I sure am glad that everything on the internet is true.

Right. I guess "you're the decider", aren't you, Nimrod.

No, I'm the one who sends the voices into their heads.

Edit: I meant, there's more truth in the comments by the person correcting him than in the actual article.

His diatribe on 'position based on who you shag' and all of this ritualistic crap is some of the most gloriously and fantastically fabricated crap I have ever seen.

I can write an official and eloquent blog about how SL vehicle designers and aviation fans have secret mating rituals where they jam their gonads into a coffee can and sing WWII battle hymns; I can even say it came from an official source. It doesn't make it any more real.

Also found an anthrocon experience by a writer. http://unclekage.livejournal.com/6952.html
