I'm just going to get right to it and speak a bit of my mind. I feel that our accepting community here is beginning to fray at the seams (tensions between users, users feeling they are unable to speak their mind if they hold an unpopular opinion). For a little while now I have noticed a slight increase of what many would categorize as "nsfw" material. Now there are many individuals who are perfectly ok with this and it should be allowed, as long as it is tagged properly. If only it ended there. As we all know, this sub is self-moderated and thus, even with rules and guidelines set out, things may be tagged inappropriately or not at all when needed.

This brings in the second group of furries, who are here for the novel discussion of furry-related topics in a ~PG-13 atmosphere. I have taken notice of many of you expressing your discontent with said content being too common, untagged, etc. You should not be belittled because you do not enjoy something. But I would also advise not trying to make to big a deal about it if you are the one commenting on another's thread.

The furry fandom is truly an interesting thing. A crossroads of tame and mature interests, fans tending towards being young adults or teenagers. This inescapable fact is the source of the font of furry drama, meaning the debate will never really be resolved. However that doesn't mean we should not work towards a more perfect system to satisfy both camps.

Thank you for reading through my ramblings. Hopefully what I was trying to say gets across. I would love to hear what all your opinions are on this touchy subject. Please, if you find an opinion or idea you do not agree with, don't downvote it. It will be much more beneficial to respond in a respectful manner instead.

Hi folks! Ringgar here again :3! I figured I'd just talk a little bit about my crazy weekend and how it was, like a casual talk, since I'd been away from the sub.

First off, I'd just like to say sorry for not being here as much this weekend. A number of circumstances contributed to that, some good, some bad, but I'm really honestly sorry that I wasn't there to help those who needed it. And I missed all the Anthrocon posts it looks like. a bit much to go through and look at it all again too, it seems. Oh well. I'll just start again from here, like I normally do :).

Well, first off my phone started bugging out. The screen kept spazzing out and clicking things on its own, essentially making it unusable for the weekend (its better now, it seems,) So that I wasn't able to get on the sub. Oh well.

I went to the beach on friday, had an enjoyable time, despite getting a sunburn, but not a bad one. The highlight of my weekend was probably the MTG Origins prerelease event! I had a great time with some of my local (nonfur) friends! I didn't do too spectacuarly, but I met this amazing guy who helped me out a lot! His name was Xopher, of all names! He changed it himself, he tells me :P! He helped my dip my fingers into a control deck, the first one I've ever played, and even gifted me an awesome playmat! If you ever see such a guy around Ice Imports, my LGS, please tell him that he is a shining example of what makes a community like the MTG community so great! He's the kind of person I hope to encourage here, too!

Yesterday I was at a local town green event to help support one of my cousins in his new buisness, called S.H.T.F Tactical (Shit Hits The Fan.) He makes paracord survival gear, including bracelets, emergency kits, keychains, knife hilts, etc. I'd check him out if you can!

And now that I am back on my usable laptop, here I am! And I'm glad to be back with all my furry friends! Shame that I missed all of the anthrocon posts, but I hope that those of you who went had a good time!

TL;DR I was away for the weekend because of a number of events and circumstances. I'm sorry for not being here. I'm back now!

Remember to smile folks! You deserve it!

Edit: Changed flair to Chats, because this is a casual chat.

Woo! Art prompt time! Sorry for being slightly later than usual - I've been sleeping off a hangover. I hope those of you who went to Anthrocon enjoyed it - I loved seeing all the pictures and stories!

This week's prompt is fursona shaming, inspired by this. Nothing too serious please, it's all just for fun! I'm curious as to how this one will turn out because it's a little different to what we normally do.

Some inspiration can be found here and here!

Week 3

This guy I follow has a comic about his fursona and ran a contest to get some people to cameo, and my rhino, Allen, was chosen to be a security guard!

Can't wait to see who else gets picked!

Yay!

New Orleans is a renowned party town.  In the French Quarter, on Bourbon Street, you can get potent drinks like a Hand Grenade or a Resurrection in to-go cups, and walk around the neighborhood as boldly as you dare.  A walk into some of the restaurants can make you sneeze, because the crawfish boils have so […]

Hallo fuzzbutts! So I'm getting a little tired of being on the heavy side, so I need to start exercising. The problem is that I work nights so I'm most active when everything is closed, as I live in a small town. My best bet is to exercise at home, but I have no idea where to start. Would any of my fellow furs here be able to share any videos or routines? Preferably without equipment as I lack the funds to purchase that, currently.

NOTE - If this turns into a drama thread I will delete it.

So, I want to ask this question which has buggered me for a few days now.

Why is sex (both sexual orientation and sexualised content) so "thrown" around here on the sub? Like it doesn't matter.

Edit - In some parts of my comments I didn't know how to express myself in english. Sorry.

(Need to download to get the whole thing)

This is a superb talk and well worth a watch - Furry content starts around the 20 min mark but anyone with an interest in photography would enjoy the whole thing. I am the final question right at the very end - I don't make a hell of a lot of sense as I was super nervous!
