Dear Papa Bear,

This may seem a small issue, however, I'm not sure how to handle it. I seem to be getting a lot of complaints about my Fursona. Some say she's been put in Rule 34 porn, Yet I've only been a Furry for 6 months, and practically nobody knows about me. I myself would never draw Pornographic images. Some others say she's too "Generic", and that "everyone" has a fursona like mine. I've also been accused of "stealing" her. What should I do about this? Should I change my fursona? 

Thanks a ton,

Lui

Dear Lui,

Papabear sent you an email asking to have a peek at your fursona, but he didn't hear back, so he will have to wing it. 

Judging by your comments, my best guess would be that you have picked a fairly standard-looking fursona. Probably some kind of canine species, such as a wolf or husky. There are many many many of these in the fandom, with minor variations, such as the color of the fur and fur patterns. If that is the case, then there probably have been drawings of fursonas that look very much like yours that have been posted on furry sites far and wide.

Papabear believes that many furries like canines because, let's face it, they are Man's Best Friend, highly sociable, and cute and fun as can be. That's why they seem to be in the majority. That's not a bad thing; it's just the way it is.

Lui, you shouldn't change your fursona to please other people. You should choose one that suits YOU and who you are and what you feel best reflects you or an aspect of you that you want to emphasize. OR, it should reflect someone or something you wish to be.  If that happens to be a common husky, that's fine. Don't worry about it, and don't worry about what other people say. The worst thing you can do is let other people decide who and what you should be.

On the other paw, don't be surprised if, somewhere down the road, your fursona changes or evolves. This, in fact, would be a reflection of you as you yourself age, change and evolve. In his previous lives, for instance, Papabear was a dragon and a wolf. Now he's a happy uncle bear.

Don't worry about what others say, hon. Be you. And when you're not you, be your fursona. If it makes you happy, then that is all that matters.

Big Hug,
Papabear

Sooooooooooooooooooo …. Colson and FoxAmoore did a CD and it’s like your ears are cumming, so if you’re interested in getting this experience then head OVER HERE and check out the songs.  It’s 15 songs of pure greatness yo! Don’t forget to check out the music video they did HERE too.

OMG!! I’m like porn-oholic,  yeh if I get a deck of cards like this there sure would be a short game with me and a trip to a private spot.  Soooooo there is this new Tribe & TangleBrook (Tribal-themed Card Set) out there and it’s totally what you want if you want murr purr all over the place. Click here to see the link and check it! Originally posted by : Arius and seppel .

I've checked with a couple of mods to make sure this is appropriate, and the gist of it is that my friend needs some help. His beloved horse, Grace, fractured her leg. Me and my friends have managed to pool enough money already to get her surgery done, and she's bandaged up now, but the next series of treatments is going to cost an arm and a leg. If anyone could offer even a dollar or two to help Hoofer (my friend), it will mean the world. This horse is everything to him.

Here is his furaffinity post on the ordeal

Here is the current status of Grace

Thanks for any help you can provide. My friends and I can only do so much without breaking bank.

Dear Papabear, Why is it that furries seem to get flack for stuff that anime has, while anime seems to get a pass? I’ve been persecuted a lot online for being a furry on the basis of it being adult orientated, when anime has the same stuff. Why do people persecute us furries for stuff [...]

The June 2012 Featured Fursuiter of the Month story just went live on Furry News Network, and I was quite fortunate to get another high-profile fursuiting ambassador, Coopertom, for this month's feature. Huge thanks to him for being such a great interview and rounding up some great photos to run with the article.

Coopertom - June 2012 Featured Fursuiter of the Month

Enjoy!

From feline to Fender: ‘Planets aligned’ for New Jersey native By Tim “Kijani” Watanabe It may be difficult to believe that as little as three years ago, you could mention the name “Coopertom” in fursuiting circles and get a lot of blank stares of non-recognition. In the relatively short amount of time he’s been active [...]
