How many beast races can you have in a setting before someone

One. You get one. If no PCs want to make beast race characters then it might be an indicator to leave them out entirely.

>>49704927
Who

cares

>>49704927
Any number higher than 0.

>>49704937
>the opposite end of the spectrum:
if the players all want different beast races, you are GMing for furries.
>also, two is reasonable, like TES. Lizards and Cats are two very different animals that easily cover a broad spectrum of abilities.

Depends on the person.

Between 1 to 2, I just judge the setting privately, but let it go because we've had some good settings with a couple of beastmen (TES).

Anything 3 or more, and I will have a conversation with you about it.

It's also easier to get away with (at least with me, I won't speak for everyone here) if none are actually PC-available races.

>>49704927
Have them all lumped into one race called beastfolk or something
If one of your players wants to play as one have them come up with what they look like
Other than that introduce NPCs as [animal]like beastfolk

Depends on the animals they are based off of. If they are wolves or cats that's more furry than say Minotaurs or Avians.

I currently have a few beast races in my setting but I've really been wanting to include a monkey-man like race of beings in there too for the more Asian inspired stuff, but I'm worried it might be too many.

Right now I have;
>Minotaur / Yak men
>Lizard men

While only two races, I'm worried including a third would be a bit too much, but since it's a near human simian anyway does it even really count?

>>49704927
Around 3 is the limit, and you have to have more eleven and human races.

Thus take the elder scrolls as an example.

>>49704927
It's a matter of how many you have. If you have a dozen races in a setting, then having 2 be beast races wouldn't seem out of place. If the only other race in the setting is humans, than having the 2 other races be beast races seems like a lot.

I would say to shoot for around 1 in 5. Maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less, but generally you want them to be a minority.

>>49704927
Depends on both the person and what beast you're using.
People seem to not consider insects as furry for some reason even though by definition they are.

TES is fine with it's main 3 beast races.

On /tg/? They'll call you a furry regardless, dude. Zerom

It depends.How well is the presence of beast races jutified within the setting?

>>49705423
Orcs are just buff Elves, as well.

Honestly I prefer beast races to "short human" and "skinny human" and variants.

You're making custom races, make them weird. Make them alien. Give them weird culture and biology.

If you're just saying "here are the dog people, they're like people but also they're like dogs" then you shouldn't have beast races in your campaign.

>>49705407
Riekling I'd imagine.

It really depends entirely on the setting.

Normally, I won't do any. Most of the druid sects in my settings raise certain animals to sentience.

Other times I'll go all out with dozens if I can come up with interesting enough ideas for specific species.

The one setting I'm working on involves nations being aligned to an element, and being more or less human depending on some things (a group of people in an earlier timeline pressed the button when they really shouldn't have pressed the button). Many of those end up being bestial in nature depending on what element they're aligned to. The Thunder Nation mix with cats (for obvious reasons), the Wind Nation are Tengu, the Sand Nation mix with Scorpions like Drow, the Fire Nation are just literal Werewolves.

The Water Nation is interesting because they're the most fleshed out. Similar to Zora or Pirates of the Carribean's Davy Jones crew, they're fish or other sea creatures. The more human of them become the "British nobles" who become the ruling elite (and use the British accent). The more fish-like are closer to Jamaicans and other islanders. (Most of it just seemed to fall into place, especially with the Pirates movies being relatable)

This doesn't mean there's 12 demi-beast races, but there's definitely a few.

>>49704927
None.
And it shoudlnt matter. Dont be insecure about yuor setting. you did the work, if someone has a problem with that so be it.
If someone in your gaming group calls you a furyy because you have an animal person then dont DM for that guy.

Do what you want . I fo rone like having beast races around as long as they are not just Humans with animal heads (unless im doing an egyptian setting in that case thats ok i guess)

>>49704927
I dunno. Warhammer has like three but no one calls them furries, so if you have three you're not furry. Dunno if three is the upper limit, though.

>>49704927
Depends on how much effort and good fluff you put into them.

>>49704927

>higher than 0.
I've seen settings accused of being furry when it only had humans and elves, simply because shapeshifting druids existed.

>>49704927
Why care?

>>49704927
How many times do i have to be called a furry before i have to care? Probably two, if they come from the same person in any tone other than a joking one. Then it's time for a conversation.

How many beast races should you have in your setting? Depends on your setting, but normally is as many as you like/want

How many beast races can you have in your setting without your group getting uncomfortable? That depends on the people you play with. Normally two, one for barbaric or savage beastfolk, and another for exotic and mysterious beastfolk.

Beast races are the new "Drizz't clones" of tabletops

There is no acceptable number. If you have no beast races you are obviously overcompensating for your furry fetish by trying to shut it out.

>>49704927
<10% of total playable races. And NEVER "beastfolk that can be based on any animal the player wants" because that is some furry bait right there.

>>49705052

It sounds like you're trying to justify being a furfag to yourself, anon.

You do know you can have as many beast races as you want without them being furshit, right?

just don't, generally speaking the typical "beast race" is among the least creative fantasy race choices, even below things like elf or dwarf

adding some fur and paws to a human and given them 1 or 2 stereotypical animal behaviors does not make for an interesting choice to fill your world with


now if you want something interesting work at it the other way around, start with an animal, then try to imagine how it would become sapient (and not how it would become human, then you end up with the exact same problem) and work from that point onwards.

>>49704927

As many as you like as long as they arent "cute" or sexualized. Reptilians with tits make you furry in the very moment of inclusion.

>>49704927

Call me a furry but I've thrown in lizardmen/sabertoothmen/bearmen in most of the things I've Dm'd, but I just like weird animal races like in the alice in wonderland way.

And base a civilication on the animal traits and thropes unique to their race.

It's fun to worldbuild, if not damn easy.

>>49704927
I think it's less the number of races and more their designs themselves coupled with how they're used in the setting.

>>49704927
All of them, as long as you have everything else.

>>49707795
This guy fucks with god's creation

>>49707866
Every single race can play that. Sneak archer is old hat now, come on!

It's not even like bosmer get a bonus to archery damage or anything, they just get a couple extras skill points at the beginning. Just like how every other race gets a different stat point distribution.

There's literally nothing unique to that race that benefited you. Swap to any other race and you'd have had something to play around with. I mean, how often did you really use the animal speech power? The one you can swap out for a Shout.

>>49704927
I would say this. How much do your Players like them? If they like them, then feel free to go as many as 1 in 3. If in whole they are indifferent 1 in 5 just incase someone wants to play one.

Again play to your crowd. But a good thing to is have maybe 1 in 10 NPC's that they interact with be a beast person. It can make you seem more furry like if every damn NPC is a beast person when you aren't playing Iron/Jade Claw, or Shard.

Then you pretty much just have feral beasts with human-like intelligence, which is even worse for this situation because you've degraded from "being accused of furry" to "being accused of bestiality". I like my beast races to wear armor and wield weapons, thank you.

>>49705437

However I've found that you can either get away with one furry and one scaly or, strangely enough, a huge variety of scalies in your typical DND group.

>monster girls and alien chicks make people more uncomfortable than homosexuality
Hasn't been my experience honestly. Threw a group of Lamia at a new party once and had one of my players remark "So it's like a snake with tits? Nice." Also had 4/5 people in my Savage Worlds scifi campaign want to find alien chicks to fuck.

But when one group came across a knight who romantically fawned over a prince of the nation he served, I had players remark that it was "gay" and "fucked up".

Then again, I GM in the middle of bumfuck Texas with all the cultural things that go with it, so my anecdotes might not be representative of the general population.

>>49715971
To be honest, I was going to put it further along the "weird" scale, but I knew if I did there's enough homos here to complain. Ironically, you just point out the opposite. Can't win, but I knew it had to be on there at all, or someone complain about it being unlisted too.

Yes, the other fetish of mine on there is Xenophilia in general, or at least the shallow end. Hence the whole point of me pointing out the illogical nature of people's reaction to Green Skinned Alien Babes or Monster Girls vs Furries.
Never made any fucking sense to me. Knew one guy, still do, who was all fucking over Mass Effect's alien chicks and even the weirder relationships you can have in that, but goes Full Retard Shitposter angry derailment over Furries.

>>49704927
The very max is three, unless you're making a campaign exclusively to cater to beast races. You can have one that's fierce, one that's cute, and one that's a non-standard animal who are weird, like squid-people or mole-rat-people.

>The feli, a race resulting from an experiment by a group of wizards primarily on kidnapped women, and children, the original purpose is unknown, but the result was a tribe of cat people with a somewhat amazonian culture

>Harpy they originate from the feral harpy, a large flock consisting of mostly female nested near a mining camp deep in mountains the camp became isolated and the horny miners took them as wives, and some imbreeding resulted in a smarter more civilized and more human harpy this is a fact the harpy race are rather ashamed of. they are basically overly proud hillbillies with wings.

I feel like sergals are a great example of the energy and ingenuity that people will put into a concept because it's their fetish.
They have a design that's notable and iconic and not a blatant ripoff of any beast, a fairly interesting society that ties into their home biome and natural history, and they fit well into a humanoid party while being notably nonhuman.
But unfortunately the reason all of this good writing was done was because it was someone's fetish, and the publication of people using them for fetish shit like gore and rape and futa and futa gore rape are much more common and associated with them.

The best way to handle races in your setting is to have convergent evolution, so that while most look human (to varying degrees), they have slightly different traits.

Anon some Japanese furry artist who had weird issues with her mother took an wolf and fused it with a shark/raptor, made a bunch of short bird people, some strange ass goat people and other creatures I don't care enough to know and decided to slap them haphazardly together in a coherent yet badly thought out setting, that just screamed "I made this during my angsty teenage years fuck off mom, you don't control my life!"

Seriously the original artist had a fetish for unbirthing, vore and rape. Which she drastically toned down in her more recent sergal art, usually depicting them as soldiers on or off duty or as civilians in their daily life.

One beast race and the first person calls you a furry. People are on a hair trigger with these things.

Three or more beast races and you're definitely an un-creative sod, if not actually a furry.

If the majority of the world are some sort of beast race, then you're a furry. Actual furries rarely restrain themselves on these things.

(Personally my settings end up with a shitload of beast races, because the new beastfolk of the day are my preferred choice for cannon fodder.)

For a Fate Accelerated game I just made a straight up furry setting, think Zootopia set in 500AD Alexandria.

No one cared at all, in fact the players were excited, started trying to figure out cool animals to play as and how the races would/wouldn't get along.
Ended up with a Hyena Thief, Stork Wizard, Camel Dervish, and Three-Headed Dog Guardian.

So now I'm convinced that "Furry" is just an internet scare, and that IRL nobody gives a fuck.

Damnit. Stop giving me more ideas for beastfolk. Paizo has so many already, and I support giving my players the option to use them in my world, so there is already a crapton of them.

Also, I hate Orcs and Dwarves, so I reskinned them with Rulons (Image related).

Then, I made a pair of new races: Tiny Mothkin, and Chimerans (like a tiefling but instead of fiendish, they are part Chimera).

Its too late for me isnt it?

>>49718475
Furfags can very well be like that, really. You just that you have a better chance of avoiding them if you're actually well adjusted in the first place.

The people who cause problems are the ones who have nothing interesting in their lives, so they have very few things to actually try to connect to people with. Their choice of porn is about the only thing they have.

As long as they're actually well adjusted people, it doesn't matter if they jack off to pics of furries with dicks literally oozing OUT of every orifice, they'll be fine playing a gnoll.

If they have some issues, well, you'll probably find enough red flags to not play with them in the first place.

>>49715280
Yes, definitely.

Also, if ny Lycans you mean werewolves or a werewolf-like race, they count triple. Nothing wrong with werewolves per se, but making a separate race out of them is retarded.

Why does "beast races" always mean "anthropomorphic animals?"

It would be a lot less likely to attract furfaggotry if you didn't make every beast race simply a human with fur and some animal features.

And this is why I laugh at you /tg/ when you freak out about furries. People bitching about furries ruin far more threads than actual furries do and frankly most of the people who bitch the loudest probably either never encountered one or had the bad luck to run into one bad one and assume they're all like that, rather than just a vocal minority of chucklefucks who got mainstream attention.

I'm not talking about making something that nobody is attracted to, I'm talking about not making every beast race look like a generic fursona.

>>49719883
>Otherkin

You gotta draw the line somewhere man.

But yeah, OP's a fag.

>>49720064
The otherkin actually made a pretty cool character.

He thinks he's a dragon in the wrong body IRL, not sure how I feel about it but he doesn't make a big deal about it just 'this is what I feel I am' and we all kinda shrugged.

He made a character who's a human guy that was captured by some kind of evil being and experimented upon, his body is being slowly and painfully transformed into living metal in the form of a dragon, almost like a living statue, though a 'feral' dragon, one that walks on all fours.

Which was both a fairly original idea for a character and a neat use of an existing in-game character class and archetype but with his own spin on the fluff. Overall he's a fun guy to be around and his character is pretty cool.

Steadfast loyalty type, was lost and in pain when the party took him in, whenever some villain is threatening the party his response is along the lines of "These people are my friends, I don't care how dangerous you think you are but I'm not going to let you hurt them", slowly becoming more bestial and feral as he transforms but in private moments seeming almost timid, like he's consciously trying to ensure he never accidentally hurts someone on accident, and is just really humble and grateful and tries to be a good friend and not bother people with how messed up he is inside.

All in all, good guy, fun character, nice to be around, some unusual personal interests, but fuck don't we all have that to some degree?

If I know any furries, I don't know that I know them. It's nice to read of them acting as normal as everyone else. Thanks for a good couple of posts anon.

>>49719613
Anons? A query; how much interspecies romancing & sexing can I have going on in the background of a setting before it ends up being furry by default?

Like, if the party comes across a roadside tavern called "The Hidden Gem" run by a male human/female dwarf pair of ex-adventurers with their mul daughters, or hear rumors of a hobgoblin "diplomat" with a taste for human gigolos, or encounter a human nobleman wed to an orc/gnoll/minotaur as part of a political marriage, does that make the setting "furry-esque"?

No details on lewds are present, it's just that the couples are there if you bother looking.

>>49720656
Yeah, I mean they're just a bunch of people who happen to have a similar interest and congregate in certain places online or real world conventions to share their interests, basically like any other fandom.

And like any other fandom you'll sometimes run into attention craving jackasses who demand everyone else like what they like, or those who have made their fandom the center of their personality to a frankly unhealthy degree.

Those however are the vocal minority and most everyone else involved plays it cool and doesn't bring it up unless in a specific situation where it's relevant or they're queried about it.

>>49704927
I know for one of my game settings there was a race of beast-folk that were basically animals that were uplifted & mutated by the setting's unobtainium by the immortal race as throw-away soldiers / expendables.

Normally they were pretty dim, but overexposure to the unobtainium gave them more sapience and a group of them broke free and set themselves up as rebels/terrorists.

They were sterile so the big motivation the free beast-folks had was to get more unobtainium to make more of them.

You can have a dozen without it being furry or you can have only one and already have too much furry.

It all comes down to what beast races you have and how you present them. I've never been called a furry, and my setting has lizard folk, crab people (and their wild lobster derivatives), bird people, ect.

>>49722963
Awww shit, crab people. Are they anthropomorphic or are they just fuckin big ass crabs. I played a shitty sci-fi text-based mmo back in the day where one of the races was silicon based giant crabs, they always stuck with me despite the rest of the game being shit

>>49723006
They're mostly anthropomorphic, though still far from human. I've even made a few subraces inspired by different crab types, like the Hermit Snid, Longsnid (based on Japanese spider crabs), and Palm Snid (coconut crabs, and one of the largest playable races).

>>49723113

>>49709625
Anyone got a link for this literary best seller?

>>49723139
Sure. I don't have my computer so I can't post pictures, but I suppose I could go into better detail.

The Snid are one of the major races in my setting, living mainly underwater in countless small tribes, as well as some tribes making settlements among lakes and rivers of the surface, and some living in coastal cities or on islands. Snid reach adulthood at six feet tall, which typically takes 12 to 16 years. Past that, however, they never stop growing - records hold that King Baklaklabak lived for 523 years and stood at 43 feet and 7 inches tall when he died. Further, Snid do not die of old age. While one would expect this to mean there would be way too many Snid, many die before adulthood and less than 1% make it past 30, mainly due to their constant warring with each other and the other races. Snid are a but like lemmings when it comes to combat, and seek glory in the most dangerous places. One story recounted in Snid stories is of 500 young warriors, who set out to kill the great Auroboros, Knifetrail. The three Snid that remained after the battle fought each other to the death to win the glory of being the sole survivor.

>>49723324
On the different races of Snid:

The common Snid is separated into two types: järvic Snid who dwell on lakes and rivers, and ocean Snid who dwell mainly underwater and on coasts. The only difference between these Snid is that ocean Snid often have brighter colors, as well as cultural differences. These Snid are seen as the baseline - a thick and rough carapace, large black or grey eyes, two main arms and two sets of smaller arms. Their arms end in claws, which makes them less dexterous then most, but they have two or four finger-like appendages on the sides of each claw which makes basic manipulation easier.

Fiddler Snid are more common to colder areas, and are known for the males having one massive claw and one diminutive claw. These are the least warlike Snid, and are sometimes referred to as "builder Snid" due to the great structures they erect, both above and below water.

Palm Snid are the giants of the Snid - the live in the warm and nutrient rich Birgus Islands, where megafauna are extremely common. By the time they are 12, they are already more than ten feet tall - their bet defense against the other giant creatures of the islands. They are much less intelligent than your typical Snid, and are much less capable of building and crafting due to their lack of small manipulators. When they're seen outside of the islands, it's often as a war machine kept by the more intelligent Snid - a war trained and well armed Palm Snid is a living siege engine.

Longsnid are almost as large as Palm Snid, but only because of their incredibly long arms and legs. They are quite uncommon, and are said to come from across the Specific Ocean, in the northeast. Due to their isolation from other Snid, they are completely different culturally. While combat is still highly valued, the see honor and hierarchy to be the foundation of society. They are more or less just samurai crabs.

>playing anything but a human

fucking fags

>>49723565
Hermit Snid are smaller than most, but carry intricately carved wood or stone shells on their backs. Most shells are carved with pictures of that Snid's accomplishments. Some of the more esoteric Hermit Snid carve magical runes into their shells, and use them as magical amplifiers. These "shellcasters" are some of the strongest magic users in the world.

Finally, Deep Snid are those who live lower than the continental shelf, hidden away from daylight. They make their colonies near deep sea vents, and live in a constant battle with the great beasts of the deep - the terrifying Vent Hunters that can kill with a single punch from their explosive claws; the blade sharks with their deadly tails that are as sharp as a sword, and the dreaded Abbysal Worm. Deep Snid are almost completely unknown to the world, and few are brave enough to enter their domain.

There are also the Lampid, cousins to Snid. They are savage and brutal, and their poisonous blood allows them to live near the great beasts of the deep without fear of being attacked. Cannibals and brutes, they have no society to speak of.

>>49723697
I forgot the best part - Snid practice a form of government called regicidal monarchy - whoever killed the last king gets the throne. This ensures that the king is a great warrior, but often results in a bloody king of the hill for the throne when an established ruler dies.

First sergals were drawn by Mick39 in 2003.
At this time, they had rabbit-like feet than now, and they kept fighter aircraft's features.
Their legs were short, and didn't have paws on feet.
A whole of them are very rabbit-like compared to now.
It proves that origin of sergal is Rabbit and Fighter Aircraft.

I don't understand why anyone would be deter by someone calling them that. Those type of characters have been long around since furries were even a thing in the 80s. They're about as old as civilization. If you think that a widely know and popular style is synonymous with some obscure group on the Internet you might have problems t b h

The question is irrelevant. You can make a setting where all sapient races are beastfolk. That does not make you a furry.

>>49725127
That... actually looks pretty cool for an alien design.

>>49704937
Warhammer's got three, and I don't think anybody is russing to call them furries:

Lizardmen
Skaven - Ratmen
Beastmen - All other mammals in one barbarian, tribalistic, rape/bloodorgy/satanism race.

The setting I primarily play in (for high fantasy, at least, though it ends up being a decent Fantasy Kitchen Sink) just has one "Beastfolk" race, which encompasses basically all mammalian animal-people. There's also Reptilians and Avians for those animal types. There's also "Beastkin" - your typical "people with animal ears" race - and "Beasts", which are just intelligent animals.

I know the guy who's making this game (still in dev), and wouldn't really consider him a furry, though one of his other gaming buddies, who had a hand in the worldbuilding, definitely is. That said, I don't mind the beast races much, though I personally wouldn't play one only because there are just so many other interesting things in the setting. I do feel that the setting as a whole would be diminished with their absence.

Where do beast races come from in your setting?

>>49726933
My player with a centaur PC came up with a really in depth backstory, I can try to ask him for it or track down his description in the game chat.

Basically a great warrior Kent-Auros who was the greatest human chevalier to ever ride, eventually earned the affection of a noble goddess, though it earned the jealousy of another goddess.

The other goddess tried to kill him by sending a great enemy against him and while he won, him and his steed lay mortally wounded, so his beloved fused them together as the only way to save his life, before taking him to the heavens with her to live eternal.

Then babies. Lots and lots of babies.

The other beast races that are most well lined out in my setting are kobolds and dragonborn because we keep running into them and one plot revolves around some missing dragons.

Have two interwoven campaigns currently going, I GM one, one of my players GMs the other, same player group for both campaigns and they are in the same setting at the same time, so they occasionally cross paths or an event directly experienced in one campaign will be glimpsed in the other, it's cool shit.

Anyhow, kobolds and dragonborn both come from ancient draconic experiments to create a nation of servants. Why subjugate/negotiate with other races when you have the power to make your own? Dragonborn are the tinkerers and clever miners, industrious and small so thus cheap to feed.

Dragonborn were the hard laborers and close combat warriors, lacking in dexterity but with great combat power and draconic attacks and armored scales.

Both were created through various rituals, transmutation and ordered breeding programs. Though this was so long ago and the populations have gone uncontrolled for so long that the original plan has been completely forgotten so it doesn't really matter anymore. The only real hold over from it is kobolds being naturally subservient to dragons because they were designed to be unfailingly loyal and dedicated workers.

There was two iterations of them, the first one was mostly normal, furred omnivores with preference for meat living in tribal hunter-gatherer society. They were not exactly "cute" per se, but they were pretty standard not!woodElves.

Then furfags wind up on them and created the second iterations which all about vore and edge incarnate.

What about having a Synx slinking about?

>>49731291
Synx to me are another case of "is it supposed to be scary or cute".

Neither. /tg/ focused on General Raines to an unhealthy degree and painted all the sergals as these vore tastic rape machines when General Raines is a horrifying monster by sergal standards.

They are basically just your average predatory omnivore humanoid.

Trancy mick has an entire world with multiple races that the sergals exist in. Nevraens, the bird people, are another popular race she created.

>>49731300
Scary. They are quite literally meant to be pure body horror. They look approachable as a clever way to get unsuspecting prey close so they can kill them. But when they move its meant to be an uncanny valley style lurching and sliding, as they aren't really humanoid but are weird parasitic worms.

I want to masturbate to OP's picture, but the degree that the ears are off by my just ruins my boner.

>>49726933
So far, kobolds and dragonborn are the only creatures in my setting that could be considered beast races. Some actual dragons meddled too much in the affairs of "lesser sapients" and were cursed to live among them as lowly humanoids: dragonborn. As the curse progressed, each generation was slightly dumber and more stunted. Some talented dragonborn mages found a way to halt the continued degeneration, but only had the resources to proliferate the remedy to a few hundred individuals. The descendents of the less-fortunate dragonborn eventually devolved into kobolds.

Please let me know if this sounds too autistic. The players don't know any of this yet, so there's time to make changes.

>>49726933
The whole north and west edges of the continent are full of wild magic. Giant and humanoid versions of regular animals can be found there, as well as other, stranger creatures. Most wild magic creatures suffer when they leave the savage lands, as they need magic to ignore things like the square-cube law. Beastmen are far more beast than man, and less than a hundred are civilized.

According to the description, that's a sergal that killed that weird plant-animal thing. They tend to take them home, dry them out and use them as furniture.

Devs also released a 'furless' splat to go with 1st ed. So if you really don't want to play with beastfolk you can run the standard humans/elves/dwarves if you want to.

There's little comics through the rulebook; one for the various religions in game, another showing how different diplomatic approaches can work. It's where the artwork is probably the worst.

Are attititudes toward anthropomorphic animals changing, or can using them still potentially destroy your reputation and get you earmarked as a magical-realmer for life?

(In before virt posts about having that happen to him.)

>>49735275
I'm fairly sure some of my college friends figured it out based on my preference to playing bestial or animalistic races in the various RPGs we were doing. And in my current games I don't try too hard to hide it.

One player who was only in the game for two weeks or so made a point of accusing me of being a furry in the general chat and the response was a resounding lack of fucks to give from everyone present, he got embarrassed and quieted down.

The big problem with people finding out you were a furry in the past was that people thought they 'knew' what a furry was, a crazy sex deviant who attended orgies while wearing mascot costumes, and that was it. That was the image that was always trumpeted in media and that's what people thought, maybe that's changing, I dunno. I just try to enjoy my interests and not bother people about them.

Only if you play with 4chan-going retards. Literally no one in real life gives a single fuck.

It's okay if they're actually beastly. Sapience, higher intelligence and human behavior is where it starts getting into furry territory. Basically if it's just a human with fur and animal face and doesn't represent a theme or concept, then it's probably furry.

Am I the only one who notices he's basically drawing the EXACT same female torso for all of his females? Ignore feet/hands/head, the core body/torso/thighs on his stuff you'd think he's tracing from a single body for everything.

You could crop a bunch of sketches to just show the thighs, and I'd be able to pick out all of his work.

>>49735928
I'd say kinda the opposite in some ways. A lot of the bad rap furries get are from normies who hear about them from other places, I think furries were the weekly subject some a few crime dramas or other similar shows, all of which were extremely biased and simplistic portrayals.

Thus, normies who don't touch the internet to any great degree think they know everything on the subject, never see any other opinions, and just go on thinking that. Most of the furry hate in places like 4chan is from either the thin skinned paranoid crowd desperate to avoid any accusations of being weird or those looking to virtue signal by picking on some other group to draw attention away from whatever fringe personal hobby or rare fetish they have.

Said it before, say it again, I've long lost count of how many /tg/ threads have been ruined by people bitching about furries, real or imagined. I've never once seen an actual furry ruining a thread.
