Now, before we get too into this, let me just say that I do not have a problem with everything that falls under the purview of “furry”; as “furry” is much more of a blanket term than people realize - anything that blurs the lines of species identity can be called “furry” - this is impossible.
I have always been fascinated by the idea of a monster becoming more human than dedicated humans, you cannot be a fan of Shakespeare without being a fan of one of the biggest furries of the age, and I still have a major crush on this one girl in part because she, as an explicit species-line-blurrer, has created some of the most amazing deconstructions of the genre ever (she shares my views on furries, amusingly, as I’ll get to in a minute).
The term encompasses so much, and is so ill-defined, that it is basically impossible not to have had some positive contact with furrydom. For fuck’s sake, many of us here have created insanely hot pictures of cartoon horses and in some cases developed a crush on said horses, lol and yet here I am.
No, for the purpose of this discussion, when I say furries, I am referring to the more, ahem, prolific contributors to the modern perception of the term. You know the ones I’m talking about. The disproportioned wolves with ten tails, ear gauges, and dayglow pelts. The overmuscled Anubis ripoffs portrayed as raping cows (which would not work since cows, and plant eaters in general, have to be badass by nature). The douchebro pierced fox OCs who look like they were yanked out of Hot Topic with a total shiteating grin on their face. THOSE fuckers.
Why is it that THIS is what has come from blurring the species line? Why is it that the results of crossing nature’s boundaries invariably results in some Myspace tool turning himself into a fox or a dragon and raping Princess Celestia? Why is it that they are all either Donut Steels or such complete Dracos in Leather Pants that everyone cannot stand them? And most of all, why has nobody drawn pictures of our favorite ponies mutilating these obnoxious bastards most graphically?
Discuss the concept of furries, why they are such tools, and what guro-tastic R34 should be used to punish them. Me, I’d pick Rarity and Trixie doing the swords through the box trick…Vlad the Impaler style. XD
