justin mcelroy has said many powerful things but honestly no set of words in the english language conveys the same energy as “that’s a funny trick to play on god”
i’ve seen this picture a lot lately, and usually with really negative remarks, so i wanted to clarify some things.
this is a picture from a charity fundraiser for a children’s hospital that furries had raised $3,000 dollars for.. and in 2013 numerous furry conventions raised $189,820 for charities like Therapy Pets, NARF (a native american rights fund), and many wildlife preserve funds and shelters.
so yeah this person is dressed in an anthropomorphic suit and they’re being pet by a little kid, but there’s nothing inherent sexually about this (which is what im assuming most people have concerns about). cosplayers know that people and kids approach you for pictures all the time, and honestly this isn’t that different. this is just a kid who thought they were seeing a giant stuffed animal walking around and probably got excited. chill out you guys its not like the furry is getting ready to whip out a massive animal dong and slap people with it.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE THING. FURRIES ARE THE BEST PEOPLE EVER AND GET NO CREDIT FOR IT OMG
A bunch of people in animal costumes raised all that money to help care for big cats raised in captivity, many of whom had been abandoned, abused and illegally bred. Thanks to the furries those animals can continue to live peacefully with medical care, food and companionship for the rest of their natural lives.
I just felt it was an interesting piece of recent news to share on the subject :)
Furries are a-ok in my book. Always have been. Sure there are some psychos and creeps but if I judged every fandom by the psychos I’ve met in them I’d hate EVERYTHING. Generally speaking all the furries I’ve ever encountered at cons or in the real world in general have been moderate, fun and HUGELY kind.
So, yeah. don’t be so quick to paint all furries with the same brush.
The biggest furry convention (anthrocon) raised $30,000 for the national aviary last year. Charity seems to be something furries are good at. But of course we don’t hear about that because People In Costumes Weird
I L O V E T H IS
Furries have saved my butt before, dude. Furry fandom will commission you when no one else will and they’ll INSIST on paying decent prices. I’ve ranted about this before but when my back went out for like a month, I did an emergency commissions fundraiser and people were sending me $$ even knowing I wouldn’t be able to draw until I got better. They paid my rent. And they were patient angels about getting their art.
Furries are phenomenally wonderful people.
Ya’ll are so quick to hate furries yet ignore the kind stuff half of the community does and honestly that’s kinda nasty.
Don’t worry us long in the tooth greymuzzles are used to it. But yeah, the stereotypical idea fueled by places like Something Awful and 4chan, is basically a minority.
Listen, I may give my friends who are furries a lot of shit but it’s all in jest. Furries are usually some of the nicest and most accepting people I’ve ever met
Hey instead of a Harry Potter world there should be a lord of the rings world where it’s super immersive and you’re given a sword when you enter the world and giant spiders chase you and the elf actors eat dirt and offer you some
can we befriend and/or flirt with the giant spiders asking for a friend
It’s you’re adventure you can do whatever you want but watch out!
HI, THIS EXISTS, IT’S CALLED EVERMORE PARK, IT’S IN PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH
it’s more of a DND park but it’s fantasy and characters give you quests and when you finish quests they give you a tarot card with the characters on it
The town functions as a real-time story with a plot and everybody has backstory and movie-quality makeup and shit
To give you perspective , I dont really feel my legs unless I’ve worked out for at least five minutes and it’s been like this for a couple years now so when the first couple seconds popped up I was like “yoo this kinda sounds good? Familiar?” Then THAT shift happened and istg I could feel all of my limbs and they all were screaming at me with the fight or flight response. Freaked me the fuck out man but good song
come listen to my song, it will tear off your fucking legs
“Oh, your song slaps? That’s cute. This one amputates.”
if i had my soul it’d escaped at this
Opposite of the original song, no contagious dancing, only paralyzing fear.
spidersona idea where this random guy gets bitten but he doesn’t know it’s by a spider and he’s like climbing on the walls n stuff and he’s like you know what my name could be? Cockroach man. I’m fucking cockroach man and all the spider ppl come and are like hi!!! We are altnernate versions of u!!! And he’s like oh no I fucked it up I fucked it up i chose the wrong animal oh fuck
