If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all DarkFury, lol.

DarkFury, you can't limit who's allowed to post in the thread to only people who have positive things to say about furries. This is an open forum, and as you've apparently discovered, not everyone is going to only say what you want them to. It's boring that way.

Im not even gonna bother on this thread. Its become rather mundane in the fact that nothing good is ever posted here by those who were not originally posting in it. Why do you think that the usual contributors are no longer bothering? I personally don't care. i just go on FurNation to chat with other furs now. This thread should be closed on the grounds that nobody is being positive or on topic.

Oh and Midget? Get a life you troll, XD

I agree that that site is one of the bad examples of furry art. if you want to see legitimate furry art the site to go to is Artsports.com. I know your entitled to your opinion midget_roxx but i didn't start this thread to have a flame war.

The thread is not going to be deleted. It's still within the rules.

I agree it probably wasn't a great idea to mention that site, but at least there's no link to it in the thread.

I also fail to see why it was used as a source when the whole point of the argument was to prove that furries aren't like the stereotypes.

I didn't post the message. In fact I'm warning him of what hes doing. This whole thread really should be deleted. It only encourages people to look

Honestly I don't much care. I was just pointing out something that I've noticed through the years. That mods and admins remain more unknown then users usually are.

BLAH! Once again this thread has almost gone off topic XD. Yeah, I'd say the reason that there is a high density of homosexuals etc in the fandom is for psychological reasons. I could explain further if you like, but it would be a biggggggg post. And I would get caught up in my psychological jargon and bore you all to death. If you want my explanation feel free to ask. I just get iffy when I post something long and technical, out of fear that it will be contradictory to one individual or another. Honestly I don't care but, whatever. Ask away if you please.

I think Im going to look up some decent drawing lessons online, ya know? Get some help. I feel like a fool, being able to write without bounds but I'm only so good at drawing. Its annoying. XP

EDIT: btw I love how the mods and admins don't put their age on. What have you got to hide?? Hmmmm?
Hehehehe. But I can see why you don't though.

"The mods" don't do anything collectively; we're individual people you know. I have my age listed, and I'm pretty sure RDX has his too.
If you must know, there was an incident last year that caused some of the staff to take personal information off their profiles for a while. I think we all had our ages listed until that happened.

Anyway. Nearly all of the furries I know do happen to be gay or bisexual. I'm pretty sure most of them don't fit the stereotype in that image, though.
It kind of goes back to what I was saying before about the negative stereotypes.

The stereotype that all furs are gay or bisexual does hold some water.
Surverys have been conducted and there is a larger percentage of homosexuals in the fandom then there are in the general public. However, not all furs are gay. In fact, the majority are straight. One theory as to why there are a higher percentage of gays and bisexuals is that one of the founders of the fandom, Mark Merlino, activly recruited homosexuals and bisexuals into the fandom.

In all honesty I think DarkFury is overreacting just in the way that furries are stereotyped anyhow. Should I be surprised.

About SR's age: yes, he used to list it. Last time it was up, he was 14, and that was probably two years ago or so.

I think SR used to have his age listed... then again, maybe that's just my imagination. Also, please don't tell me the joke was that high above your head. Gay guys(or at least most of them) don't go around touching random styrangers like that, it's a furry stereotype(whether or not it's representative of all furries I don't know or particularly care, bottom line is, people associate that aspect of furries with the subculture). Come on man. Gay tips 101? Really?
