    What's a furry?

    I fall under video game, and role player, so I suppose half of me is less geeky than the other half.. which is pretty cool when I think about it.

    Me -> Gamer & Anime Fan who insists on subtitles.

    Can't help insisting on subtitles though... Too many bad dubs out there.

    Hmm...

    Anime Fans Who Insist On Subtitles
    Video Gamers
    Roleplaying Gamers
    Science Fiction Television Fans

    [EDIT:] Quit it with the furry hate. If you don't like it, you don't have to think about them. Nobody is forcing you. Some of my friends are furries, and I'm sure that they wouldn't appreciate being called freaks.

    And, of course, Furry. Wooooo I'm a weirdo.

    Although why there is a seperate box for "erotic furries" I am not sure. There shouldn't be. And they left out table-top gamers who aren't RPGers.

    Is it sad that I've actually seen the fanfiction that the last box is talking about? Although I'm sure the guy who made this thought he was making it up.

    I doubt it. From what I've seen on the internet it'd be rather likely, whether or not I'd have heard of it..

    Admins note:
    I'd like to illustrate our stance towards Furry-related flamefests with a quote from Bill Hicks:
    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->What business is it to you what I do, read, buy, see, or eat with my own body as long as I do not harm another human being?<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    If you decide to flame furries, you get a temp. If you are a furry and decide to flame non-furries, you get a temp. Easy as that.

    --

    On topic, I knew an older version of this graph. Still find it hilarious.

    You can tell the guy who wrote that chart has a thing against furries. I think there are a few on that list that are worse than furries. Not that accurate to be honest and pretty biased.

    Name three? Well, no I can't because for one, I don't know what a "furry" is. Two, I'm only concerned about one thing. Why is RPG gamer on the second tier? Just because I like those doesn't mean i'm a Geek! This chart is flawed.

    Furry = person who finds themselfs attracted to/relating to anthropamorphic charachters.

    This is often taken further to Fur Suits (take a mascot costume and make it look better and less stupid).

    Some also take this further with having sex in fursuits.

    And hive, there are some furries who simply relate to anthros instead of wanting to boink em (note that wasn't a flame just me talking silly)

    Also ALOT of people find furries realy wierd/disgusting.
    I don't, Bill Hicks was correct <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    As for where I fall?
    SF/Fantasy fanboy
    Trekie
    video gamer
    PnP RPGer
    One step less freaky then SCA (we use boffer weapons not real ones)
    in that same line a LARPer
    I WAS a 13 year old gamer of all sorts (save LARP)
    Anime fan who insists on Subs
    Comic book reader
    Heinlen Fan
    Piers Anthony fan (to some extent)


    Oh, and Hive, for that last one....
    Thats most fan fic out there <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> (well, not specificly Star treck... Harry Potter is popular atm.....)

    EDIT:
    @Crisqo: you do realize that they are not talking about FF and such, right?

    As for things worse then Furries, that are on that chart?
    SCA (they just creap me out)
    Pokemon fans over the age of 6 (nuff said)
    People who use Mary Sues (aka creating the 'perfect character' and putting them in your fanfic obviously as you)
    Peopel who do that in erotic fanfic
    people who write erotic fanfic
    etc etc <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Check the graph again. He does not say 'Is geekier than...', he says 'X consider y geekier than themselves.'. And you'll have to agree that furrydom is a rather seperate part of geek culture.

    By the way, I forgot to add my own listing:<ul><li>SF/Fantasy Literature Fan.</li><li>Amateur SF/Fantasy Writer.</li><li>Fan Fic Writer.</li><li>Comic Book Fan.</li><li>Anime Fan who (predominantly) insists on subs.</li><li>Video Gamer.</li><li>Roleplaying Gamer.</li></ul>

    Yeah I know those people exist, I'm just saying they shouldn't get their own box, because noone likes a prude.

    And upon further inspection, there is also no box for Star WARS geeks, which would probably make them quite angry.
