r/furrydiscuss

Olá, meu nome é Parzival, esse é meu primeiro post aqui, então eu queria saber a opinião de vocês a respeito sobre isso. Veja já sou furry desde 2020 e me aceito assim e não tenho vergonha sobre, mas é chato lidar com esse preconceito que colocaram sobre no a respeito de zoofilia, já que muitos que não conhecem a comunidade de verdade acham que nos somos um bando de pervertidos que tem fetiche em transar com animais, e eu já sofri esse preconceito, e pior foi com um primo meu.

Resumindo a história, em 2024 meu primo viu minha antiga foto de perfil no Instagram que era do meu OC, e ele me pergunto se eu era furry, então eu respondi que sim, no início ele aceitou porque na época ele não entendia essas coisa e até ficou curioso em pergunta sobre, nos já falamos coisas tipo, sobre OC, fursuit, Convenção, e porque as pessoa gostam, e óbvio, eu exclui a parte da... Bom Pornografia que tem em nossa comunidade se é que me entende, afinal nos não somos só sobre isso, mas enfim, um dia ele me mandou mensagem falando que tava inojado comigo, e o motivo, bom ele não sei como se ele pesquisou ou alguém falou isso, mas ele simples me acusou de zoofilia por ser furry, afinal aposto que ele descobriu esse preconceito e achou que eu fazia parte disso, eu tentei explicar pra ele que não, que isso é só uma esteriótipo preconceituoso sobre os furry, mas ele nem me deu ouvidos, e até hoje não conversamos mais, na realidade até falando uma vez depois de tudo aquilo porque éramos da mesma escola, e pelo visto ele até esqueceu daquilo, ou só fingiu que esqueceu, mas não importa, isso me magoou, e não falo com ele desde então.

My gf \[20F\] came out to me \[18M\] as a furry. I dont know how to feel about it?

Hey so I apologize for the bad grammar and punctuation but im just very confused and want some opinions. My girlfriend of almost a year told me she was a furry, or atleast very interested in becoming one. While im not against it in a general thought people can do what people want as long as it doesn't hurt them or others. But dating them, I just dont know? Its a very expensive hobby and they kinda all look weird and its just odd? I dont mean odd as a derogatory term its just I fault to understand the reasoning behind it and why she wants to and why she would feel that way? I also want to live my life exploring everything and then have kids, and I dont know how I feel about raising a kid with a furry and traveling to furry conventions everywhere. Let me clarify she is an AMAZING woman and ive never loved anyone in my life more she is perfect in every way, Im honestly just more confused than bothered. Sorry if I offended anyone! Thanks!

Hello everyone, so i made 2 fursonas and i built lore around them but i like the lore so much and i connected the lore of both fursonas to eachother that i kind of made a fictional world. And now i am thinking about adding more lore but i feel like everytime i would need to create new fursonas to basicly make more lore around this world. But i do want the fursonas to have a purpose so i feel like having more then 3 fursonas is already a waste if i just make the third fursona just for the story. Any advice? My lore is about a farm and rare and mysterious animal species.

I'm studying Anthropology and am currently doing a study on how belonging is created in the Furry-Fandom. So I just thought I'd ask here if you have any opinions or feelings to share. This can be super broad, I'd be really thankful for anything that comes to mind. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

So, what does being a Furry mean to you personally?

Also: If there are any German Furries or even peeps located in Berlin, I'd be super grateful if anyone wanted to connect. I really don't want to just intrude on a Furmeet 人(_ _*)

hey, furs.

i know, i know, another software engineer interested in the furry community. how original! but as i've poked around, the majority of the platforms furries use feel unprotected from AI scraping and outdated. so i'm writing to ask - what do you use, and what would you change?

So confused on how to tell my parents about being a fur ball and what one is and knowing my parents is a little awkward and tries to act cool and in reality they arnt anyway any one wanna give advice or discuss on WHY PARENTS ARE SO HARD TO TALK TO

>SO! Over the past few years, i've been interacting more woth the fandom, especially furry YouTube and i've seen some growing issues, and these issues are honestly terrifying to say the least.

Let's start off on how inapropiate content is being normalized, to the point that TEENS are starting to think that clearly NSFW media is not, like for example, changed, wich I've gotten alot of obviously teenagers defend the game saying that its "sfw" even tough i can list a ton on scenes that it clearly isn't

"so why that's happening cosmo?"

Simple! adults (and sometimes even minors) are shoving this type of content down everyone throat everywhere, on youtube for exapmle there are multiple "furry meme compilations" so i've decided to take a look, i went on a fresh account and searched it up on yt and clicked on the first long-form video i could find and went by the recomended videos, it took me 4 videos to start finding sugestive thumbnails and after i watched 10 furry meme videos, i've counted 50 sugestive memes, 45 of them appearing after the 4th video, i searched furry memes again and a good chunk of the thumbnaills were suggestive. I decided to re do that test, started with a sfw video again, by the 7th video i started being recommended nsfw stuff, by the 10th video there were 21 sugestive memes and while doing that... I kinda lost count of the vids (lol) so i watched more 2, making the total go up to 60.

Also this happens on basicaly almost every furry content nieche, and this "normilization" is so bad that when one of these kind of YouTubers got terminated in 2023, the reaction in general of the community is "YouTube is targeting furries".... FELLA if youtube actually cared about furry content 30% of furry YouTube would have been gone in a single day

and before you say, no, it wasn't always like this

Prior to 2016, I kid you not, there were basicaly almost no nsfw furry channels on youtube, yes its not like everything was fully SFW, but you get thet point

Even furry YouTubers prior to 2011 didn't really do nsfw stuff, despite youtube being much, much relaxed on these topics douring the time, like go on smosh's yt channel, the biggest youtubers at the time and sort their videos by oldest and scoll a bit

i know this is mostly focused on furry youtube but what i'm genuenly trying to say here is that nsfw content on the furry community is being normalized to dangerous levels and that could have dangerous consequnces like the complete banning of furries form big social media platforms, all it takes is a video reporting all of this in a consise way doing well.

And before you say "its the responsibility of the parents to monitor what their kids are watching" i fully agree, but we kinda have to put some responsibility on ourselves when there are videos with hundreds of thousands of views welcoming kids into the fandom (some of them doing while showing off their f3tti5h35 in those videos as the case of betaetadelota)

before i end this, i'm just going to say... you have the power to change this... so just, stay aware of this content and if you see furry nsfw on non nsfw websites like youtube and tiktok, report it, even if other furries get mad, and before you call me purist, just keep in mind i'm fine if NSFW content is on NSFW spaces and if not, with the the propper tags to hide it not only from kids but from people that don't want to see it, i really don't want this discourse being a "think of the childen" one

Cosmo out

Hey!!!! I’m not a furry, but am quite interested in furries and what they do! (Lowkey might take part in a fursona, but I’m not ready to dip my toes in yet) I am looking at art of fursonas and I genuinely don’t understand why the animals that are being drawn are also so human like in the way their bodies are. I’ve seen a lot of opposable thumbs, feet, human legs, and six appendages to give wings to bird fursonas so they can have human arms. I don’t understand why furries do this if you’re trying to embrace being an animal? (If I’m even right about that, please tell me if I’m not) I thought that furries were just people that like to dress up as animals and fully encapsulate that, by not bringing in human features. I’ve seen this includes sexualizing these fursonas a LOT. I would like help understanding so that I won’t be offensive in the way I see furries going forward. I need all the help I can get, please educate me.

We’re both nonbinary, I’m 23 they’re 20, we’ve been talking a lot, I knew from their insta bio that they were a furry but I wasn’t sure how I felt about it or what it meant.

My family is very right leaning, I am not. So the things they say identify with that. They would say the whole oh kids are using litter boxes in schools thing. Which idk if that’s true anywhere but yeah and them thinking furries are freaks and very clearly not understanding.

I hate that I’m thinking about this in this way but I’m like what will other people thing and how will I deal with that. They have a furry head, they haven’t worn it out rlly but they made one and it looks pretty cool. And it’s not like I’m a stereotype or anything, I’m not a girl, I’ve had split dyes and shaved my head a few times. So i idk I like to think I don’t care but it’s hard.
I’m at a weird spot with my family they’re judgmental (called me a freak for wanting to dye my hair again and for cutting it short again) and I hit a breaking point living here so I’m trying to move out in the relative future.

I just don’t want to put them through my family. They’re nonbinary my ex was nonbinary as well and nobody respected that in my family plus they have a more non gender conforming name and they’re a furry. So I can’t even imagine who this could go down if we date.

I just don’t know and I want to understand being a furry more.

They said they’d like to wear it out at some point (the head) but not by themselves.

I’m worried of people’s reactions. Simply because I don’t want to deal with it. Maybe some other reasons too but that’s the main one.

Idk I’m not too too bothered by the whole furry thing but parts of this make me wonder if it’s something I can handle in my life. Depending on the extent of this and what it actually means

So, I'm in a discord server, and regular show is brought up. i state rigby is hot and i wanna have sex with him. Would this be beastiality? i feel like it wouldn't cause he fits more anthro terms than animal. Maybe im wrong, and i aint into animal fucking, so if this counts more as beastiality then ill gladly rescind my statement. But i feel like he is more anthro leaning than raw animal?

Let’s say at conventions and other small furry events. Do you see it as cringe in any way as some might be older millennials? Or are the vibes still generally good overall? Appreciate your thoughts 😊

Now several have semi common answers for the question why animal would they be in a furry universe. for example: Kamala Harris as a hyena and trump as a pig. For some reason I like the concept of animals actually being native to where real life people’s families are from. with Kamala Striped hyenas are native to both India and west Africa (where Harris’s family is from) and with trump pigs can be found just about anywhere so that’s covered. But for Obama it gets more complicated, the only animals that are native to both Kenya and the UK are small rodents which I don’t think fits Obama’s character. I personally think some sort of hybrid cat would make sense for him as Scotland has its own wild cat species called the highland tiger along with feral cats and there are plenty of species of wildcats in Kenya.
I also like the concept of Clinton as a wolf, Teddy Roosevelt as an Eurasian elk, (I know they are locally extinct in the Netherlands but close enough) and Kennedy as a Rabbit. But there are still a lot of presidents that I haven’t figured species for that I’ll leave to all you. (Also feel free to suggest what species notable people from your countries would be)

A few days ago I posted on this subreddit that I didn't know how to tell my brother (also a furry) that I was one too. I finally told him today, showed him my drawings, he showed me his, we talked a bit about the fandom, and most importantly, we understood each other. I was pretty scared, but it ended up being a nice conversation. And lastly, it's worth mentioning that WE'RE TWINS. It was kind of weird, but fun, haha.

hey all,

my boyfriend and i are looking into going to anthrocon this year as we’re both local to the area. neither of us have gone before as we’re younger (both 19). is there any advice we should know before going. such as the place selling out, we’re not looking to spend a lot on admission and don’t need the full weekend pass as we’d likely only be going on that sunday.
any help is appreciated.

Hey! I've been wanting to start making fursuits for a while and my birthday is coming up (so I can start buying materials). I know that starting with a 3D printed base isn't the best idea, but for future reference, which 3D printers would be the best/ideal for printing fursuit head bases? When I start making fursuits I'll obviously start and practice with foam but if I decide to 3D print them eventually I want to make sure I purchase the correct one (I know nothing about 3D printing). Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Are there any things about this Fandom I should be aware of before diving into it? I've always liked furry art and someone is making me a fursona. But honestly I want a fursuit. I get nervous because I hear all these things about really gross people in the fandom and lack of SFW spaces and talk. Is this true or is it just overemphasized bs? I love the furry fandom but again, I get worried that the fandom might be gross in nature and I just wanted to make sure I'll be able to find SFW friends at conventions and people who aren't predators and zoophiles. I'm sorry if I offend anyone by asking this.

Furry used to be sacred. It was the raw, throbbing heartbeat of divine masculinity. We’re talking Ancient Egypt — where jackal-headed gods didn’t just walk the desert, they dominated it with abs carved from granite and biceps forged in the fires of Ra himself. Celtic Viking berserkers charging into battle wearing the skins of wolves and bears they’d killed with their bare hands, howling war-cries that made the Valkyries blush. Those were the original fursuits: battle pelts soaked in enemy blood, not some plushie convention cosplay. It was men being men — apex predators, war machines, testosterone incarnate.

Then the femboys slithered in.

With their thigh-high socks, tiny plaid skirts, and that insufferable “uwu senpai” whimpering, they infiltrated the temples like glittery little termites. What was once a glorious pantheon of rippling warrior beasts became a pastel-colored TikTok dance floor. Generations of pure, battlefield-tested testosterone were diluted. Replaced by eyeliner, chokers, and suspiciously smooth thighs doing the “furry shuffle” for clout.

We went from conquering empires in animal fury to paying for butt-hole pics of sparkle foxes in maid outfits on only fans. This is civilizational collapse with a tail plug.

Bring back the sacred masculinity, or at least bring back the goddamn war howls. Awoo!!!

EDIT: After reading the comments I have come the the conclusion that yes i am a furry I will still keep this post so if you want to give me advice you can im happy to hear what anyone has to say on the subject

I know this may be the wrong place to post this but I made this account as a throwaway *( for now) and this is the only place I can post this with such a new account Regardless

I dont know if Im a furry or not and I need someone to objectively tell me if i am or not. Looking back on it it started about 9 years ago I found and loved content I wont got into to much detail on that but I found I kept enjoying more and more things that would fall inline with the furry community I kept finding myself enjoying not only the original furry adjacent things but also more just furry art / Fur-suit photos/ Music and videos. Then about 2020 or so I made a fur affinity account and a account on deviantart and a E621 about 2022 or so I found the game changed watched a play through of it loved it. played the game, then played the 3d game, then played the minecraft mod, and over the last 3 years or so I have played a lot of furry games and right now Ive-comb it my go to music creator to listen to.

All of that to say I never consider myself a furry I did not tell or talk about any of this to anyone because i did not want them to think i was a furry I honestly rationalized all of it as Im not a furry Im just into the game changed ECT. all this ended about 8 or 9 days ago when i was playing a clicker game ( Kinda based off changed) and a thought crept into my head " Man if someone saw me playing this game I dont think I could explane that im not a furry" Followed by " How am i explaining this to myself that im not a furry" Then " I might be a furry "
