Look at all the posts recently on this sub, why are there so many downvotes? Are we like being downvote trolled or something?

Edit: I'm going to bed, by the time you read this this post might be out of date and not applicable.

Edit edit: this post is definitely out of date now, I'm going to leave it up just in case anybody wants to make more comments or replies.

So DriveClub comes out tomorrow, and it has a PS+ version so I was wondering if anyone here would like to have a furry team? I'm SublimeV12 on PSN.

It's not my thing, but I noticed this yesterday. There's a ton of morbidly obese furs, there's every fetish you can possibly think of and plenty that you probably can't and shouldn't think of (whitekitten anyone?), but I've never seen a picture of an anorexic fur. There are some that are that way because they were drawn wrong, but none that are intentionally that way. What's up with that?

Here are a pair of segments broadcast on Australian radio network Triple J.


First (from September 22) is "Furries!", which coincided with Sydney's 2014 FurJAM event:
Hack takes you inside the furry community to find out why people love dressing up as furry animals. Is it a sex thing? A creative outlet? Or, just a way to belong?http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hack/stories/s4092570.htm
On SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/triple-j-hack/furries



A week later they followed up with "What's a therian?":
You would have heard of transgender, but have you heard of 'trans-species'? Hack takes you inside the home of two people who say despite their human bodies, they're dragons. And they're not alone. Around the world there are thousands of people known as therians who believe their spirit is an animal.https://soundcloud.com/triple-j-hack/whats-a-therian

For six glorious weeks in 1990, Battle Kat dominated the World Wrestling Federation. He wore an adorable sparkly black cat mask, pawpads on the bottom of his wrestling boots, and a cute pawprint on his bottom, as if one of his catboy fans had run through some soot in his rush to give Battle Kat a cheeky pre-match “peptalk”.

Yes, Battle Kat was lame, although he was hardly Robinson Crusoe in the early 1990s WWF. With Hulk Hogan gone and other big names aging and/or fattening, the writers waved in a series of characters with all the complexity of the back of a breakfast cereal packet. Battle Kat joined similarly nuanced early-90s characters such as the Big Boss Man (prison guard), Doink (evil clown), and Repo Man (clarification not required).

Battle Kat used “cat-like” moves in the ring, which means that he occasionally made vague claw-shapes with his hands, and incorporated laboured and largely pointless acrobatics into his offense. Compared with the lumbering wrecks still going from the 1980s heyday of rock-n-wrestling, Battle Kat was agile and young, but was neither if compared with someone, well, agile and young.

I have a soft spot for professional wrestling. I started watching a year or two after Battle Kat’s brief stay. WWF wasn’t on TV in Australia but I (and a friend) would rent shows from the local video store. It was the early 90s, so the characters were broadly drawn—the main event always seemed to be Yokozuna (ostensibly an evil Japanese sumo wrestler but clearly just an unusually fat American Pacific Islander) vs The Undertaker, who is probably best described as a superhero designed by Tim Burton on a bad day—but the action was terrific fun after a few beers.

We both loved The Undertaker of course, but my secret favourite was a character named IRS, otherwise known as Irwin R. Shyster. IRS dressed like Gordon Gecko from Wall Street, complete with suspenders and tie. He would come to the ring, remind the audience to pay their taxes, and then get roundly thrashed by some random good-guy. Alas, he never crossed paths with Battle Kat.

IRS was everything good about everything bad in early-90s WWF. He was young, charismatic, and a talented athlete. But his character made no sense whatsoever. Why on earth would an IRS employee accuse a professional wrestling audience of tax evasion? And why would victory in a wrestling match give him the moral authority to enforce payment?

Inevitably, Mr Shyster and The Undertaker crossed paths. The writers tried ever so hard for the conflict to make sense… why would an inland revenue man dislike an undead superhero? Simple: Irwin was piqued by The Undertaker’s refusal to pay taxes associated with his own burial. Genius!

I encourage you to watch this 50-second video on YouTube to see the full, glorious, explanation. (Sample IRS comment: “Being six-feet under is not a tax shelter!”)

I never understood why people hated IRS. Good government is the foundation of a functional democratic society, and taxes fund government. IRS was just a hard-working, righteous civil servant.

I only learned why he was hated so much later—his character was designed to antagonize the American tendency towards small-government libertarianism. (I’m Australian, and at the time the left was arguing for freer international trade to facilitate improvement of government services, while the right was arguing for introduction of progressive taxation to facilitate improvement of government services… not quite Reaganomics.) IRS probably got cheered in New York. And Canada.

Battle Kat was cut from the same low-irony cloth as The Undertaker, however was sadly never to enjoy the Dead Man’s longevity. The wrestler under the cat mask was Brady Boone, who was fired a month or so after BK’s introduction. Boone then suffered the double humiliation of seeing the Battle Kat being played by a replacement (that lasted two weeks), and of his month as Battle Kat being the pinnacle of his career. After being fired, Boone spent years of playing a barely-infringing-on-WWF-copyright knock-off character (Fire Cat) in minor federations in the US and Japan.

Boone finished his career as a referee in Ted Turner’s successful WCW. Sadly he was killed in a car accident in 1998, at age 40.

He did leave a legacy though: in his time as Fire Cat, he mentored an up-and-coming 21-year-old. That young man went on to have a long and successful career, and incorporated several of Battle Kat’s signature athletic-but-pointless moves into his style. The young man will turn 44 in a few weeks, and is well known to any modern wrestling fan. His ring name is Rob Van Dam.

Hi there, I'm a new furry, just spreading onto the 'nets. I do currently have a fursona ref being sketched for me, and I will post it here soon, but until then, I've been looking around here and other places and I wanted to ask some questions, and voice some of my assumptions coming into here. (I'll also probably make other posts later on for different topics as well.)

About Me: I'm 17, live in CT, Senior in High School. Straight. I'd like to get a suit done of my fursona later on, maybe freshman-sophomore year of college. I'd love to get to know some of you.

Questions * Where are some good online sites (other than here,) to go and meet other furs?

• Are there any furs here who live in CT?

• Where should I go to find "furry news," if that is even a thing that most of us care about?

• Do people find other furs easy to get along with and actually friendly?

• Where should I look if I wanted to get a full suit done?

• Any do's and don'ts?

Assumptions Please correct me if I'm wrong What I'm hoping is that there is a good base of other furs around me to get along with and make some new friends, even if its over the internet. As far as I know, most of us tend to be around 18-30 years old? I have no problem getting along with people who are significantly older than me.

I always seem to view the furry community as a huge bunch of happy, talented people, wanting to make friends, make stranger's days, and show off their skills, whether it be art, suiting, writing, or mixing tunes. I believe that's how I can describe the majority of the fandom, I get that not everyone here is perfect, no other fandom is anyway. Am I looking at this overly positively, or does this sound about right?

Thanks for your time!
