what do leftists think about furries including the current state of the furry community in general? i used to be apart of the fandom and was drawn by the colorful animals, animations, and art which make me a furry and a artist. of course i was bullied for this hobby but that was long ago. i decided to leave the community and abandoned the fandom after it became a capitalistic husk of what it once was. as well as the fandom having a problem with the rise of puritanism, those kind of popfurs, conservatives or reactionaries, modern day burned furs, and of course. lack of animal rights and youth rights being prevalent in the fandom (literally all this anti zoo and anti pedo crap is just virtue signaling atp even when most of them aren’t interested in acting ontheir attraction)

so what does leftypol think about the current state of the furry fandom? is it good, bad, ugly, or neutral? let’s discuss!

Saying "the furry community / fandom" is like saying "the jazz community / fandom." It's a genre / subject matter in art, that's all.
Conventions are an issue and will be phased out by VR and Minecraft.
Touch digital grass.

Not really, the furry community and not just a vague "I'm into the funny animals" sentiment is predominantly American for a reason.

that tweet applies to literally any hobbyist subculture because theyre necessarily middle classers due to the barrier of entry requiring lots of money and or free time lol (inb4 "proletarians have lots of energy and free time duuuuuude")

Ironic its most recent retweet was a panel of the very con furry anon was b& from…

>>695188
The vast majority of furries are running on the "I'm into the funny animals' mindset though. You seem to be talking about a specific community of furries but calling it "THE Furry Community" in the same cadence someone disillusioned with the state of YouTube or Bluesky or whatever might refer to the handful of platorms they use as "THE Internet." (i.e. dead internet threorists)
You seem to be talking about Convention goers based on your citations.
>>695189
There is fuck all barrier to entry when it comes to art genre hobbies like furry, anime or steampunk because at minimum you're just looking at images in before sleeping, maybe some crude crayon doodles, made costless by digital options like phone touchscreens and laptop trackpad. (proles have these you can't be employed legally (thus excluding lumpen) without one.)

I think making money from any firm of art is gay somehow, I just don’t like or trust it. And I HATE anyone who shills their Patreon so I’m not a huge fan of furry artists.

They draw good porn tho

>what do leftists think about furries including the current state of the furry community in general?
I like to pretend they dont exist.

>>695183

furries are a subculture. not a genre

>>695189

fandoms be like

>>695188
>predominantly American

lol it's not. there's huge furry subcultures in Germany, Russia, Japan, China, etc.

>>695188
blatantly wrong, they exist in almost any continent, and in varying amounts each

>>695207
>at minimum you're just looking at images in before sleeping
…you call this a hobby?

>>695427
That's why I view it as a genre of art over being a hobby. You can have a hobby around a genre of art, but that doesn't make the barrier to entry hobbyism.

>>695469

do people live on the internet in their parent’s basement not knowing how hobbies work? i’ve seen furries walk around in animal costumes, have sex, wear kink gear, go to cons, or even interact with other furries in the community, even going as far as to make lore for their ocs or ship them. pretty sure that counts as a hobby and something productive than just looking at images

>>695523
Yes but what I'm saying is the hobby is centered around the subject of the hobby, the genre of art, not the other way around.

My enemy is the middle class but I'll give them a pass if they waste their reserves on commissioning furry or anime art of my fetishes.

I just like funny animal people, they make my peepee get bigger….

OP here again. i honestly don’t hate furries much because i met some nice ones and i used to be one myself so it would be hypocritical of me to hate furries. some of their arts are nice, some not so nice and is just eye straining, or some straight up pornographic which is peak. but the current state of the community and or fandom around it in general is cancer imo as of right now. although they will be bad apples in every other fandom it looks like the reactionaries have gotten louder ever since bc of paradox of tolerance

i guess this can become a half furry porn related thread too as long as a discussion continues on

Come on now anon. Anyways reminder that furries are the only subculture to successfully tell nazoids to fuck off. Not even punks managed to do that. The only thing I agree with is that furries can skew white petty booj but there are plenty of prole (and certainly lumpen) furfags.

The n word thing is just false, as is the rest of the post, really. I've been in the fandom longer than that poster has been alive probably and I've quite literally never seen anyone say anything like that, and implying that weebs aren't wayyyy more prone to being fascists is laughable considering 4channel.org???

I hate furry porn because it depicts very real sexual scenarios shared between abusive petty bourgeoisie and their underaged victims, and I was not a part of it.

i’ve been seeing a rise of puritanism and bigotry in the fandom typically from furries with huge followers (aka popfurs ig?) but also those with a small following making an impact but that seems to mostly be a normie/mainstream social media and american thing from what i observed so far. they also tend to be the loud minority too and not fight against nazis. or they do but they ended up being moralfags themselves as well in the end of the day

luckily they also get called out for their behavior, but on insta, in my experience though. they are less likely to get called out unless they draw art of weird fetishes, feral, or even cub for some reason (which is apparently just as bad as abusing real animals irl) when there are animal abusers and child abusers running around free in the fandom.

i also don’t like how artists on social media, mainly tik tok, but also on instagram (and probably short form content videos in general) are only into furry content for the money and not because they’re genuinely interested in furries. but i don’t use social media anymore but i do have a bluesky and tumblr account. might delete them soon. i also deleted my art instagram account and now use insta for personal usage these days so idk what it’s like these days

always creeped me out whenever non furries said they like furries but that’s just me being the “furry who hates their own fandom” stereotype. idk this is just based on my own experience in the fandom during the recent years coming from someone who joined the fandom in 2017 and left afterwards. the people to claim to be “furries” or “fans” of such could be fakers too, like they’re only into it for the money, or aesthetic and nothing else. and their only other “hobby” is just looking at images of them and that’s it, besides going to convents, and wearing a fursuit. i feel like they don’t even participate in furry culture at all and are only into it for the aesthetic and money and that’s it

idk as an underprivileged furfag myself. it always made me uncomfortable that the furry fandom feels unwelcoming toward others who aren’t privileged. it also feels like most modern day furries are moralists who indulge in harassment these days but that’s probably because i used to have twitter (still planning to delete bluesky and probably tumblr) and it was hell. it’s probably also because the instagram art community is stuck in 2020 (i deleted my furry account for a more personal one ever since) and i’m on the western/american side of the fandom since i only understand english so far

i should probably take an internet break even though it’s my only form of escapism so far and my youtube feed is now utter dog shit for whatever reason after watching 1 video (reposting this with the spoiled images so the mods don’t hunt me down)

>>698994
nope, soz!! they only want 14 year olds.
better luck next life!~ <3

something something sage

can you elaborate please for the jury to hear

>>699894
what's wrong with tumblr? I started using it recently to talk about TADC (the /co/ threads were unusable those people are fucking obsessed with trans people) and I've been kind of enjoying it, sometimes I reblog and comment posts and get replies, which feels nice. Also people feel much more like they dont give a fuck about being cringe or are openly antagonistic to cringe culture.

Feels like the internet 15 years ago. Idk maybe its a honeymoon phase but Im liking it…

When did people pick up the habit of attaching social media screencaps of literally whos to their posts, and how do we make it stop?
