even that pic is a specific character I like. I don't like it because there's a tail, I like it because I like that character. She IS a tomboy, so there's that, I admit.
I think it just bugs me that people simply think "cartoon animal" instantly means "Furry". Furry usually refers to the sexual deviancy side, like again, when people draw Renamon/Daisy Duck/Minnie Mouse in lingerie with huge tits, which creeps me the hell out.
Like I've been called a "furry" because I grew up a Sonic fan. Really?!
An arbitrary distinction that means nothing to anyone. If a dude happened to obsess over feet and constantly posted sexy feet pictures, you would label him a foot fetishist. If he then claimed "Oh no, I'm not a foot fetishist, I just happen to like those specific feet," you would still label him a foot fetishist. And so you are a furry.
like I don't have "Furry" personas or profiles or any of that crap. I'm not into "furry" stuff, it creeps me out. But I do have a fox girl OC, so I'm automatically a "furry"?
I dunno, I see "Furry" as like when people draw sexualized versions of Pokemon.
I was fully aware my OC would be accused of "Furry" because people think anthro means furry and tried to minimize the animal aspects where possible.
I literally don't engage in any "furry" stuff. have no interest in "furries". But I drew a fox girl OC, so therefore i'm labeled as "furry". that's not me "being dense" or "playing dumb". that's me being annoyed at an offensive generalization.
It's not about the fact that you made a fox girl. It's the fact that you have sexualized anthro pics plastered all over your Facebook and elsewhere. It's the fact that Makoto turns you on despite wearing the same outfit as Renka who you declared "hyperfeminine." You must think we're fucking morons and lack any amount of inductive reasoning to think these trends aren't glaringly obvious.
It's because you are acting fucking retarded. I like Makoto because her dialogue is funny, i like "strong" girls, and she's a badass in combat. her outfit is dumb as hell, too overly stripperish, and I don't know who Renka is. I have pictures of "hypersexualized" GIRLS, on facebook. Other than my OC and FFXIV character, there's not even any Anthros in my gallery.
INB4: "Makoto is not an anthro/furry" or "It's just that one character!"
edit: lol. I swear I'm Joseph Joestar.
Anyway, believe whatever shit you want. But don't act all "confused" when people act like normal, rational people and use colloquial descriptors to describe evident patterns.
oh wait scratch there, there's two pictures of carrot and a couple of the kobold girl from that monster musume manga. So there's that. *scrolls through gallery* three of a nurse squirrel because it was a cute character design, not particularly "Sexualized" though. The rest is mostly digimon and various anime pics.
Well i mean she's not. On account of the whole lack of fur and all that. There's a tail and ears, that's about it. That's what I mean. If just that constitutes "furry", then that's a gross overgeneralization.
