    I like furries...

    Three guesses why.

    I was actually tempted to try MLP out of pure curiosity but never found the time.

  • You are one yourself, am i right? Am i? Am i? Am i? AM I?

  • Why would guys watch a little girl cartoon

    I'm using snippets from Urban Dictionary to define these, so they ain't my definitions: Weeaboo: Someone who is obsessed with Japan/Japan

  • As a brony, I must say that there are some reasons to do it. But I'm a little girl myself so I don't argue.

  • The only reason why i could think of why a Grown Man would watch a girl cartoon, is NoT good.

  • MLP was meant to be a family show, not a kids show. It has a lot of references kids won't get and the plot of it might be entertaining for many people. Some people actually find it interesting and they have a right to do it.

    They're probably using it as a conduit to molest children.

    Only reason why i would think a Grown Man watching pony stories.

  • Wow...calm down there....a conduit to molest children, hey man, sometimes they like something and they get hooked.

    They might not have liked the idea but after being forced to or something they got hooked...No need to call bronies children molesters.

    It sets off my creep meter bad.

  • Anti-furry logic:

    You think werewolves are cool, its okay.

    If you think werewolves that talk are cool, its okay.

    If you think werewolves who wear cloths and talk are cool, it's unhealthy.

    x.x

  • Okay but its exetremely rude to imply that all bronies are child molesters, they might creep you out but that doesn't mean they want to hurt children in any way.

  • Penetrate? Excuse me?

    They want to penetrate an animal, thats their deal. You want to dress up like an animal, thats their deal. I don't want to but they can since it makes them happy.

  • Most furries don't actually have sex with animals. The only reason animal people having sex with each other is not bestiality is because they are intelligent beings. Kinda like finding Asaari in Mass Effect attractive. They aren't human, they have tentacles coming out of the back of their heads for goodness sake, but they resemble one enough to be attractive.

    but as long as they don't actually do sexual acts with an animal, I'm fine with it. This.

  • edited October 2014

    Just so this is clear with people: furries aren't sexual, nor are bronies... but there are sexual aspects.

    You can sexualize and fetishize anything in any fandom, it doesn't make it a defining factor.

    People like Hentai, and hentai is basically cartoon porn. If people like Hentai, that means, if I used the logic used to define furries, all anime fans like hentai... but that can't be true since my brother loves anime and doesn't view hentai.

    All three to a degree haha. I don't think there's anything wrong with liking something, but if it's progressed to a label, where it's pretty much your life..I think they can be a bit too obsessive.

    Who, the "bronies," the "weeaboos," the "furries," or all three. lol

  • You can really obsess over anything in life. The only reason furries have one is because there is a name for it.

  • It's okay, I just wish those weren't the stereotypical views of the fandom.

    Porn seems to stand out the most in the fandom, sadly.

  • I didn't mean it like that, I just wrote the first two things that came to mind when I think Bronies or Furries.

  • I don't personally know. In terms of actual plot and the characters, I don't think it's really that special. I still watch some cartoon series from when I was younger on Youtube, but I don't obsess over them and I don't make it consume my life. I know some grown men who like to reminiscence and watch some old Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network cartoons, but it never becomes an obsession.

    I don't really get it, but if they enjoy it and it makes them happy, that's good for them.

    That's a good comparison. I never knew a lot about furries, and I admit that anything I have heard about them has been rather extreme, like attempting sex with an animal or having animal suit orgies. I always thought that the sexual element was a huge part of the fandom since that's how they are usually portrayed, but now I feel like I understand better.

    So what do furries enjoy doing, and how do they express their interest in a non-sexual way?

    Hm, I see your point. But people will throw those labels at anyone even if they show the slightest hint of liking those things. Many people for example, get called a weeaboo on gaming sites for simply liking JRPGs or games in general made in Japan, which doesn't make sense because these same people like Mario and glorify Zelda (which are technically Japanese games).

    I just consider them harmless labels people like to call themselves (bronies), or labels that people make up to try to sound insulting but really come off as being funny and stupid (weeaboo and dudebros). lol

  • We just enjoy pretending. Imagining. Role Playing. We like to pretend we are something other than human. I am a wolf anthromorph who comes from another planet. It really is like being a star wars fan; you can love star wars so much that you dress up as Darth Vader and masturbate to Twi'leks, or you can Role play and write clean fan fiction because you enjoy the universe it's set in.

    What is the difference between me roleplaying as a werewolf and me roleplaing as an anthromorphic wolf? World Of Warcraft has Worgans and Tauran as anthromorphic races. WoW is HUGE. It's more common than you think in society.

  • StarWars fans don't do that as far as i know.

    I see your point. I guess I'm more concerned for the radical bronies, weaboos, and furries. If it's just a hobby, than I see no harm in it.

  • Yeah, I guess it all depends on how far they take their hobbies, but as long as they're not harming anyone I couldn't care less what they do, as long as they're happy and enjoying themselves.

    It's pretty funny though. A few days ago in my gaming mathematics class, my friend and I were discussing the term weaboo and how funny and random it sounded. He took a liking to the word, so I dared him to write it as his last name on one of our tests that's coming up.

    Weaboo actually originated as a random, funny-sounding nonsense word that didn't actually refer to anything. It became the term for extreme anime fanatics and Japanophiles after the mods at 4chan used it as a censor for the word "wapanese" (a portmanteau of "wannabe" and "Japanese"). Eventually, it just caught on and replaced wapanese entirely. Here's how the word was used in the original comic from which it came:

  • Yeah, I actually know all about that, and what the purpose of it is. Which is why I still find the word funny, because it sounds like something a little child would say to try to sound mean to another kid. But yeah, I know the short history of the word used to refer to anime fanatics and Japanophiles. But nowadays, like I said before, people on various forum sites, use the word to refer to anyone who likes anything that comes from Japan. Kinda like how the word dude bro suddenly became a word to refer to anyone who happens to like shooter games or games that have the "steroid" male protagonist stereotype with people using both terms to insult one another based on their interests in different genres of games.
