1 is fine.

2 and they will find it weird at some point but shrug it off for the most part

3, at least one person will bring it up in passing or as an actual conversation point with you or the other group members

4, your group will begin having serious talks about it behind your back

5 and you will be known as a furry to everybody in your playgroup beyond a shadow of a doubt.

>>53227820
The fact that you need to ask this means you are a furry, so you should just accept that and stop worrying. As long as you don't do anything weird, no one should care.

>>53227904
>As long as you don't do anything weird

Let's face it, if he needs to ask, then he's doing weird shit on a regular basis.

>>53227820
I already know you're a furry, Collin. I don't care.

For the record it was the druid that spends all his time as a cat that gave it away. That, and the fact that you own multiple cats.

>>53228159

Two. First is out of curiosity, the second sets a trend.

>>53227820
If you ever thought of playing as anything other than human, you're a lame millenial faggot. Since in your case it involved obvious furshit, you're also a furry.

Also why does jerking it to elf porn make you a furry, they're just super twinks

So long as you're not being weird about it, I don't see why anyone should care.

GM here: if you specifically ask for a beast race, I'll peg you as furry. Long as you don't do any weird shit I don't care. I've had one too many players give overly long descriptions of their beast character's bathing habits.

If you only play furries, you're a furry.
If you only play elves, you're gay.
If you only play dwarves, you're a neckbeard.
If you only play halflings, you're a pedo.
If you only play humans, you're a nazi.

Or maybe you should just play whatever the fuck you want and let everyone else do the same. Don't bother yourself with what /tg/ thinks of any of it.

>>53227820

Do you mention their pseudopenis?

>>53227820
If you are asking those, you are already furry and I don't give a fuck. As long as you don't bring porn or your fetishes (especially the furry ones) to the table, it's fine and dandy.

>>53228995
>descriptions of their beast character's bathing habits
Did they include the sandpaper-like tiny tongues sensually rubbing the fur?

>>53228946
I feel the Tabaxi is a feline race made to be as non-furry as posible though. Its just alien enoigh to be more monsterous and escape that uncanny valley feeling. So I don't really mind them so much.

Half-orcs are pretty great but I personally lean towards kobolds.

Half-orcs need to prove themselves and that they're better than their evil heritage. Full orcs very likely -are- evil, or at least start as such, and need to go through a full character arc to grow into better people. That's always fun.

Kobolds share that, but they also have the halfling angle of being really small and weak, constantly being kicked around, the underdogs nobody cares about. And I can't help but be the fan of the underdog.

It depends if you're playing furry type characters. A goblin is not going to trigger furry alarms, but a gnoll/lizardmen mike, and a lupin/werewolf is going to take some effort to avoid being labelled.

I will say if you compare Goblin r34 to furry r34 the furries have way more degeneracy. Inflation, cubs, and animal cocks being examples.

>>53229596
>>53229619
"Furry" is a blanket fetish: anything involving animal people counts as such.

It's like saying hentai is terrible because it has loli or NTR in it.

>>53227820
Oh who gives a shit. Just do it.

>>53229653
Well only a pleb would say hentai was bad because of loli, loli is patrician.

And furry is not a blanket, it's rather specifically anthro animals.

>>53229653
Hey your the one who wanted to compare goblins to furries. If you're now saying apples and oranges then we wouldn't be hypocrites as you accused, now would we?

>>53229660
>And furry is not a blanket, it's rather specifically anthro animals.

And hentai is rather specifically mongolian woodwork art.

>>53229687
The comparison is till shit though. Kemono is a type of hentai just like lolicon is a type of hentai.

>>53229687
"not a single sound argument" -Your words

You may eat them now.

People like you is the reason furries have such a bad reputation.

>>53229698
And inflation is a type of furry just as hyper or cubs are.

You can't apply all of the worst shit of furry into the same thing without doing the same to hentai.

>>53229653
>"Furry" is a blanket fetish: anything involving animal people counts as such.

Haha no it's not

>>53229720
We're comparing Goblins and Furries remember? That thing you were calling use hypocrites over? I can apply all the worst shit to furries, because goblins don't have that.

>>53229699
I try to make sense out of things and see why you think "furry" and "hentai" are different. I get nothing, just more shit thrown at me. Like this one for instance: >>53229724
>No it's not.
Baseless contradiction, that's all.

>>53229719
Why?

>>53229741
I dunno, I'll admit it's not such a huge or varied fetish, but I've seen some pretty terrible art of goblins as well.

>>53229720
Anon there seems to be a disconnect here. Porn = hentai. Furry is a type of porn, kemono is a type of hentai. That furry (a type of porn) intersects with other types of porn is logically not analogous to porn in general.

>>53229766
>Baseless contradiction
Just because I tell you you're wrong doesn't mean that is baseless.

You're the one making a claim, now go ahead and prove it.

>>53229770
Usually when you say "hentai" you mean specifically the vietnamese macaroni pictures, but even if you took it to the definition of porn, it still wouldn't narrow down the definition of "furry" all that much: as far as porn types go, it's still a pretty broad statement.

>>53229766

I never said Furry and Hentai were different. In fact I've seen furry34 from japan, so both furry and hentai at the same time.

No, the problem is Anon believes that "furry" is a substitute word for "anthropomorphic"

>>53227820
When your group accuses you of being a furfag there is two options:
If it's in real life, you bring your fursuit next game.
If not, you do it too and also link them your FA page.

>>53229811
I'll admit that hentai is a moon-style porn but it is still porn in general, and a particular type of porn does not compare in the way that was stated.

>>53229807

Pick up your mic, we're not done.

>>53229898
Sometimes it's a ambiguous but the difference in essence is one of connotation. Later, you find it in the character design, as connotation, and meaning, translates visually such as here.

>>53229919

Anthro character design is driven by the humanization of animals / animal creatures, often for story - aesthetical reasons or meanings pertaining to human culture and perception (such as a fox anthro to show cunning)
Furry character design is driven by the animalization of humans... And thinking with your dick.

If you say you'd fug an anthro you're called a furry no matter how much you're different from the cult
If you pretend you'd not fug an anthro then you don't explain exactly what's going on with you

Much because of furries, and then those that refuse to see nuance like ever, you have no way to mean that you'd both fug an anthro and you are not a furry fandom retard

It's gone full e-politics since decades and it's like saying you got PTSD or depression today. Or that you're trans or something.

Aaah so admit that sergals =/= gnolls.

Which is a shame because, visually, they're actually interesting, and could work very well in setting.

But the associated connotation and purpose makes them just too furry.

I do remember a dude years back during the youtube furry wars who wasn't into the porn but liked anthro animals, he'd tried to start the "fuzzy fandom" and it didn't go over well with the rest of the cult.

Also they level of furry is a factor too, like does 99% human but with ears and a tail count?

I can see room for nuance, as long as they're not the crazy ones who make it a lifestyle.

Like if they whine about "fursonas" and shit they're to far gone. At least in my experience.

No they are not, a centaur is different from a neko. A centaur is on an alternate path to furry I'd say, as they are part human, which is the attractive thing, but they're full-on horsepussy. Lamias etc. with cloacas are the same thing.

That'd be just, like, a human with ears and a tail. You don't really change the core of it.

In truth you'd have to consider "anthro" my actually be closer to an actual difference with humans than "furry", given how furry is animal people with explicitely human mindsets. I don't know, I'm thinking.

To be honest, I'm not sure if people are hating out of an ignorant regard for their forebears hating furries without truly understanding why themselves, or if they're more lenient towards them because they don't remember why earlier anons hated. Either way, pretty sure it's ignorance.

>>53230246
So long as you don't feel yourself belong to the clique of weirdos, it's just anthro.

>>53230244
I believe the correct terminology for that is trash, furry or not.

Literally the single trait that splits furry and monstergirl is whether it has a snout.

Monstergirls have human shaped faces, furries have muzzles.

>>53230246
First of all furry and anthro are the same thing, numbnuts.

And it appears to be an anthro skunk, so yes, it's furry.

>>53230246

It has hardly any animalistic features and, so it seems from the shoes, is a plantigrade.

>>53230246
Anthro.
It's got a muzzle, fur, and tail like a skunk. It's wearing cloths and standing upright with human bone structure. Doesn't appear to be sexual in any way.
If it was sexualized it would become furry.
If you told me it was your fursona it would become furry.
If you mean literal fur, then it is furry.

>>53230270
True, it's just treants, dryads and robots also fall in category of anthro, so it's less of the fact that it's the same and more that furries are a part of anthro.

It's how I started becoming furry at least. At one point saw Kemonomimi that where supposed to be half cat or something backstory wise. I thought to myself: "Wait, this is supposed to be half, what a total pussy weaksauce way to do it. This character should be way more animal." And so I embarked into my magical realm.

>>53230291
I didn't say they aren't, just that someone playing lizard with boobs is more likely to be a furry

>>53230246
Furry and anthro are used pretty interchangeably, with the main difference is that the former is for sexual or self-insertion (i.e. this is my fursona).

I can easily be generous and call that character anthro, and without any further evidence I will. But he could be furry - if there was furry porn of him, or if he was intended to be a self-insert style character.

I would have to know what he's intended for and what you'd want from him for me to be absolutely sure that he's anthro and not furry, or vice-versa - it's not quite as easy as a gnoll, since gnolls are pretty much always NPC mooks.

Now I'm going to explain the picture, and the character, his background, etc.

Setting: It's the future and everyone's an animal. Probably not the future of Earth, and it's possible humans never existed; but I'm not hiding to the reader that those are animal-people that I mostly drew because they looked cool, instead of making a future setting with humans in it. To the public, there's absolutely no pretense that they're anything but anthropomorphized animals, and many 4th wall jokes can hinge on that. Character's name is "Grey", because, well; he's black and white. It's also a reference to my tendency to never use colour.

Design: Since we're imitating humans, he's plantigrade, got hands, stands like a human, is generally more humanized, and wears clothers. Unlike most furry designs, also shoes (I know but).

The design, visually, was all about referencing the base animal, the skunk, beyond physical appearance. For example, the shape of the clothes is supposed to resemble that of a skunk's fur being puffy, large at the bottom; the colour scheme is black and white, the tonal values are highly contrasted, and of course the white stripes on the hoodie (hood: reference to hooded skunk. Get it?) .And lastly, it's a detail you can't see well here, but the tip of the shoes is meant to remind claws.

The hair is crazy because, again, the goal of the design was to make something that was cool-looking, and take the appropriate artistic liberties. On the other hand, it was never designed to be human-like, and was specifically meant to build up on natural fur. Zebras in the same setting get manes, etc.

Physically, the character is smallish, stumpy, somewhat broad in width and awkward, keeping the specifics of a feral skunk. the tail is emphasized as a huge recognizable feature but there is some leeway kept in realism to make it all work. It is, after all, a cartoon, and it's not trying to be realistic, only visually appealing.

>>53230380
Yes, I used incorrect terminology, I meant to say between '00 and '10.

Here's the thing.

Some of the furry art is pretty good. Should I not wank at it just because the women in it happen to have animal ears and other accessories? It's the tits and the ass I wank for, the rest is just decoration, or something I have to deal with because of the artist's tastes.

>>53230246
Furry. I don't use anthro, because it is less precise. For me anthro relates to the process of anthropomorphization in general. also it sounds weird as an abbreviation when not used on something with more humanoid form, so it is in an uncanny valey as a term. An anthropomorphized object I would just call anthropomorph(ized).

>>53230268
Furries can have human faces for me, Monstergirl has the fur and bare skin bodypart borders.

I've tossed around playing anthro characters before, but I've never really gotten an idea I've actually liked. But I've seen other people play them, and in an alright way - there are just some people that enjoy more exotic races.

Some of it is also accepted situations and settings - a man bat character is of course going to fit in in Vampire the Masquerade a lot better than a random foxman in a fantasy game. But sometimes settings do have Khajiit or space cats in them, so they're also kind of expected - hard to accuse them of being furry when they're a standard option.

>>53230448
Anthro, I guess. I'm still not sure what exactly you're using him for - a comic? An RPG? But I'm 90% sure he's not furry.

>>53230448
Nothing sexual.
Seems to be a character in a larger work.
As long as he's not a Marty Stu self insert still sounds anthro to me.

>>53230440
No. Actually quite close to the skunk character in purpose: human except that it's an animal, which is, in Bojack, what I call a "cosmic injoke".

It's a joke in the very setting of the show. You can see it and say "okay, they're not trying to explain everything, they just put a horse guy and play around that". Same in that show with the talking gumball bow and the blue jay and the raccoon and shit...

>>53230249
The funniest part is if you look at the images in this thread, almost all of the replies with anime shit are the ones spouting the "REEE FURRIES" memes. I've noticed this for a while; weebs are one of the first and loudest to shit on anything "furry", while doing everything they can to cry about how monstergirl/kemono shit isn't technically furry.

I've seen more weebs in public and Roll20 than furries, and they're usually the more obnoxious ones. You can even tell on /tg/, where a large majority of Magical Realm threads have some anime OP. Of course, since it's 4chan they think they're in good company when in reality they're some of the biggest spergs to have to deal with.

>>53230393
>>53230472
I never really understood this, honestly, and it's one of the reasons why I adore Zootopia as a film

If you're just going to use animal characters, and then handwave everything, there's no reason to use animal characters. It feels arbitrary and dumb, and puts me off.

Zootopia felt like a setting lived in by animals, and that made it interesting.

This was an entirely random aside, and Zootopia is absolutely furry.

So you believe that the use of the character matters for the classification?

However what about "furry comics" and "furry novels"? I swear they exist.

Here's an illustration from Rick Griffin

>>53230453
How many years of wasted potential just because people everywhere were so very anal about the term "furry"?

I could never play a gnoll. Ever.

>>53230510
Not gonna comment on anime, but I feel it relevant to remind you people that furries are EXTREMELY ANAL about differenciating themselves from bronies, and usualle vice-versa.

>>53230472
That's why I brought it up. I never got the furry vibe watching it.

Didn't care much for Regular Show, but I dig Adventure Time and one of their characters is an anthro wad of bubblegum. Similar enough I think.

>>53230393
>>53230448
>>53230403

Still Furry, colloquially.
Anthropomorphized animal if formal.

As said, Anthro sounds awkward to me and I do in fact associate it more with the fan community as an attempt to retroactively distance themselves from the sexualized parts. But still a term closely tied to the demographic.

>>53230518
If you only have animals into your world, then they're not, per se, animals.

Zootopia only ever makes sense from a human point of view, right up to the very name of the movie.

Which is what I still call a cosmic injoke.

You can feel that it was only made for your readership.

What I constated with self-admitted "furry" productions is how they acted the same way except that they tried to pretend it wasn't meant for humans or that it makes sense from an insider perspective. They tend not to go... "All-in".

>>53229558
Cause shortstacks exist in real life and are a perfectly normal sort of woman to be attracted to. Same as if a gay dude whose super into bears just plays dwarves/goliaths all the time.

Are furry comics and furry novels the actual term being used?

There's a clear difference between a furry porn comic, or a erotic story, and something like Redwall or one of those online comics with anthro characters like VG Cats or something.

>>53230472

That I would call caricature settings.

>>53230529
Well Bojack also hangs around other humans, but design-wise, he's not much more than a horsehead.

>>53230529
Would telling people whether or not I do have a sexual interest in anthropomorphic animals matter in the classification of characters created by me?

>>53230599
>There's a clear difference between a furry porn comic, or a erotic story, and something like Redwall or one of those online comics with anthro characters like VG Cats or something.

Not really. The only difference is that some of it is porn.

>>53230522
Context is very Important I think.
Yes furry comics do exist.

That Pic strikes me as furry.
The animal woman is nude, the roundness of the breasts and the different colored hair around the crouch are clearly for sexual reasons. Even if the situation isn't necessarily sexual the character design is.

Though I realize how subjective that could be.

>mfw furries trying to say they aren't furry

>>53230580
Why the fuck would it be furry. Furry means that specific dumb disney-esque animal person look. Hell it doesn't even cover attraction to realistic animals. Furries aren't into animals they're into this infantile bullshit that does not and cannot exist in real life, because they refused to grow up.
>>53230591
Eh I'm not specifically into Scottish women, but I wouldn't pass them up.

>>53230580
Furry is animal based I always heard. Gnolls are hyena people.
Goblins, Orcs, and Elves aren't animal human hybrids.

>>53230522
Well, it's not just that I'm afraid of being judged - I totally am, but I've never found a way to create an anthro character that actually feels like they'd be a good character.

Like, say I wanted to make a gnoll. The race itself would be the interesting part, rather than the character - it'd make playing a 'boring' fighter more interesting, but it's not really helping me make a character any more interesting or deep than a human. So I skip over whatever idea comes up.

I'd probably have an easier time getting away with, and making a character I enjoy with, a dryad or a satyr or a harpy. Those are more accepted due to relation to classic myths and stories, and also provide wider options for a character than just 'I wanna be an animal-person just cuz.'

>>53230599
Man, I've seen people do actual "furry music", however little sense that makes.

Hence I tell you, it's a mindset, a cult; an idea of "animal-people", not so much an objective design choice.

>>53230617
One thing you must know about Rick is how he considers fur is "dressed enough" and that pic has absolutely no sexual intent (same for character), or so both he and the writer would say. Rick always justifies his designs with the "Donald Duck" argument where a shirt is enough (if you ask me, it's a fallacy to apply this to other designs...).

In a sense, putting clothes on animals that already have fur is entirely a human reflex. You don't necessarily stop to think if it's going to be an actual need for them in context. Personally I think it is a need for evolved creatures to hide their good or adorn themselves for psychological reasons.

But another thing you must know about Rick, is how he's into "surprise nakedness", or whatever the fetish is called, as well as macro.

>>53230608
not 529
I don't think that would matter in of it's self.

>>53230608
No, I think for clear communication it is best to have one word for one thing and not have it hinge on factors that aren't apparent.

Furry is not intended as a defamation by me. It is just a concise way to say "anthropomorphized animal character which leans more towards stylized or clean than gritty".

>furry is sexual

Dumbest thing I ever heard. One of the more annoying things about furfags is their sparkledog OC donut steels, no lewd implication at all. Plus lots of furfags make it a lifestyle that doesn't include sex.

>>53230663
Yeah I'm sticking with my assertion that the level of detail on the breasts and the color of the crotch fur makes it furry. I don't know about the situation in the comic, but dude definitely wanted to make a character design that flaunted sexual characteristics.

Just try to think about how being a hyena-thing shapes your perception of the world and the way you do things. You hear better, you tend to examine things on smell, you're more pack-minded and you instinctively try to fit in group hierarchy, that sort of thing. Also, your culture, how it was shaped by your race and where your people grew up, blah blah blah...

Hyenas being scavengers (although it's actually lions that steal, hyenas often do the kills), the custom deity I give to my gnolls, "The Mother" (because matriarchal society, themes etc etc), rewards the strong and purges the weak, it's considered a sacrilege to screw your pack or to waste things. My gnolls believe the mother gave them the ability to eat carrion to save them from hunger, and that they survive on the scraps of other races (like having the worst lands) because it's all she could get for them, but that's why they have to punch up and stay strong, and so they also revere the slightly crazy (spirit-touched) as they have traits who make them stronger. Etc etc.

>Plus lots of furfags make it a lifestyle that doesn't include sex
Aaaah those just don't tell you about it Anon

Just try to think about the core interest someone would have to make furry characters for "no particular reason"...

>>53230725
Are you guys at least playing ironclaw? For being a furshit system it has some sound mechanics that I often steal for other games.

>>53230739
I'm saying that when people say "furry" they mean that stupid fucking furry look. Same way when people say "anime" they mean moe-shit or shonen.

But isn't that true of superheroines in a human context? Skintight clothing, sexy poses, stuff like that?

Granted, they're almost never outright naked, but there's definitely detail paid to anatomy.

>>53230652
Why always this self-flagellation about choosing an interesting race because it's interesting to you? Even if it doesn't make a character "deeper" it doesn't make him shallower either. Usually you don't have to justify ethnicity or bodily build, why species?

My first World of Darkness game was Changing Breeds.
Everyone was a furry except me.
I played a hellcat (they have no anthro form)

Was decidedly the odd man out when they got all furfag in a changing breed-centric nightclub.

They didn't even get my joke about how a cat is fine too.

>>53230737
So you're saying that the design is not setting-driven, but it comes more from a specific mindset of the designer and so that makes it furry?

>>53230738
Don't care about that really cool movie that's been dragged into the mud because "muh furry" e-politics.

>>53230775
Race always makes a character deeper - whether it's from how this race has interacted with others and the setting (racism, such) or whether it is from what the race is like neuro and biologically.

Whenever in doubt, just do like an artist: study the inspiration. You learn plenty of little details, like skunks having bad eyesight, which you can use in jokes, or specific comportments.

Let's take a gnoll... Too many gnoll dudes. There should be more females, but they are the counterpart to human males. They're domineering, will fight to be the party's authority, but once you respect their position, they can be quite mortherly, and worry easily about the pack, often taking the fall for the rest of the group.

Or there are not, and the sort of gnoll that runs off to go adventuring is much like the sort of drow that runs off to go adventuring.

>>53230748
Honestly the idea of hyena-ness shaping perception is where my brain starts to curl in on itself. It's hard to think from an entirely different viewpoint for a different species, especially if they perceive the world differently. Big reason I haven't played something like a dragonborn or even an elf in the past.

You have cool ideas about gnolls though.

>>53230775
I just usually feel like I end up making a character shallower if I'm using race as a crutch to make them interesting. Ethnicity ties to background, bodily build is tied to lifestyle...

I know it seems odd, but I don't like making a character of a certain race 'just cuz.' If I make a dwarf, I want to include something dwarvy in their background and mindset, and I'd want to make a fun character around that. If I don't feel like I can make a fun character out of an anthro, I won't do it. I'm the kind of person that doesn't spring for exotic races most of the time, I guess, compared to the reverse.

Kinda like if I'm making an entire character on 'he's a ranger!' then that's a fairly weak character, you know?

>>53230818
You don't need to convince me, I just wasn't in the mood to challenge other anons perceptions, as "making a character unusual is a crutch" can be a quite persistent sentiment.

>>53230835
Well see, you're making progress on a deep character with exceptional motivations. Try to think about how that makes him evolve as a person.

>>53230737
One of the things I personally can't get is how, for example here, he's going to put her with a necklace of beads and a holster on her arm, one of which being for practicality, the other being a vanity item ; but nothing else. It's like dressing up and going out but without shoes.

Which furries do too.

>>53230773
Yes, but they're humans*.

*or human lookalike aliens and shit like that.


There was a judge (I don't recall his name) and during the trial of a man accused of producing child porn the mans lawyer had asked "what is porn anyway?" the judge responded "I know it when I see it".

I don't know if that helps you get where I'm coming from any. I'd said before it's kind of subjective.

>>53230859
You just need to learn more about the animal. Then it'll be easy. Take the animal behaviours, translate them to more intelligent and purposeful thought, and you got yourself an anthropomorphization. Leave some behind, as on evolution, there are instincts you learn not to do.

For example, I've yet to see a human PHYSICALLY throw excrement.

And it's a running joke with my skunk that people expect him to spray, and he'd just say, yeah, I'm gonna bend over and shart my pants, or I'm gonna walk around with a big hole in my undies.

No what I'm saying is the female sexual characteristics of an animal person have been accentuated. Thus it is furry.

Depends. It so happens also that this difference in colour is a very normal colouration area change on some animals, just like stoats have a white belly.

You'd equate it to pubes because, well, she's naked, so you can see the colour change.

There it is with the crutch, didn't even read that yet.

You just deny yourself tools out of a whole broad organic spectrum.

Everything can be applied in different doses, you don't want to make a Gnoll that relies on gnollishness? Then don't make his species his main theme, done. You want to play up the otherness, do that. There aren't any spots on that slider that are somehow invalid.

It's just a weird fine line between nudity being porn or art, with human subjects, but that mouse or whatever being nude is obviously sexual without any leeway.

Granted, in that case it pretty much is because an earlier anon admitted the artist has a fetish for it, but in a more general sense it seems weird for that to be 1 to 1 but with humans it's not always clear. Is it erotic if it's not meant to be erotic?

Whew lad.

Where do you keep a projector that size and what sort of whinage powers it?

I have absolutely no doubts about my ability to write characters that are interesting beyond their race, weapon choice, hair color, relationship to the king, etc.

The key difference here is that if I wanted to play multiple furry characters in a row, I'd do it and not give a shit what anyone -- in or outside my play groups -- thinks about it. Self-confidence is a helluva drug.

There's no substantive difference between "anthro" and "furry," nor will there ever be. You can pretend there's a sliding scale of acceptability but there isn't. It's a line, get over it.

How does the human newly arrived sees his party?

The dwarf, the elf, the gnoll, the ratfolk, the scalie bastard.

Urist my best bro, Elendil who said he'd take me on a trip to Nulmeninor and show me awesome elven chicks, "Scruffy" who everyone likes giving nooggies to and also who gets sleepy in the middle of the day because he never managed to adapt his sleep pattern (but great in a dark dungeon, and you always know where he is because of the smell), Skitters that is the absolute authority on cheese and wine and helps us not look like dumb peasants when we order at a restaurant, and Dragnor the motherfucking scalie bastard.

>>53231061
Well yeah, he does. That's what I said about not fully committing to the idea of anthropomorphization, but doing it half-way anyway. It ends up looking a lot more like damage control or unsubtle justification than simple anthro design.

I've never thought once Rick did simple anthros, even though I might be wrong, and there is a certain level of not doing things just for the furry in what he does, but yes. It's furry to me.

>>53231099
Maybe I'm getting confused here but that reads like you are spout half of his point defiantly at him. Always awkward when that happens in a discussion.

>>53231177
That's pretty good, but why are dwarves always named Urist?

>>53231197
You're confused.

>>53231205
It depends on the setting. In some settings he'd be named Gneiss.

>>53231197
I think he felt targeted when I said what I said.

Gee I wonder why and where this defense-by-the-offense is coming from.

>>53231205
That, my Anon, I will leave the pleasure to explain for others.

>>53230809
Holy fucking shit. In my group that would'a required major fucking purging. If the apocalypse is so soon who the fuck has time to be doing something so degenerate. Obviously the night club is a front for Pentex or the Wyrm to force the shifters into degeneracy and to not fight against them. So everyone who's been corrupted must be purged along side the night club. No witnesses. No survivors. Rip and Tear.

>>53231205
It's a popular name in the Dwarf Fortress.

>>53231205
reference to Dwarf Fortress

I find humans an uninteresting choice for the most part in most universes that have them. There's Orcs, Dwarves, Trandoshans, Elves, Mutants, and a billion other races depending on any set of universes/systems you're playing, and I would choose boring ass human- why?

I'd much rather be a Togorian like I currently am in my EOTE game.

>>53231320
Human makes for an okay first choice provided you start from some farm with all those other weird interesting races far away. That way you can go to the larger world and have your character be as amazed by them as you yourself are.

But if he dies, you might as well reroll something more interesting.

>>53231320
I tend to choose human when I need their "white piece of paper" base to balance out a very specific/elaborate occupation or fighting style. Like fighting with two telekinetically wielded claymores ore some shit.

>>53230619

Are egyptian deities furry?

>>53230246
I don't divide the two. Maybe they have a difference but I think it would just be nitpicking.

>>53230634
>Furries aren't into animals
A-anon, I...
http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Feral

>>53231457
Why are you asking that biased guy?

But if you want an educated one: no.

>>53231503
We have two kinds of Anons here

1.Furry is a term to designate all animal characters however not specifically derogatory. Based on physical appearance of the design.

2.Furry represents intent, often specifically sexual, and is different from anthro, which designates all items and characters with human characteristics. Therefore it is based on purpose of the design.

I would like to add one last thing: believe it or not but furries themselves are the most anal about lumping everything into the "furry basket".

Egyptian Gods?
"Yeah furry lol"

Star Fox?
"Zomg furry fandom yiff yiff"

My art?
"Lmao furry art"
"- No it's not, it's anthro not furry"
"- Ah I forgot there's still furries in denial lol"

^
Now this. If it doesn't convince you furries are pieces of shit.

I'm a guy who busted his ass for close to a decade to do what I do; who ARE they on the other hand, but just a bunch of useless degenerates with no discipline and no work, and they just come to me, talk to me like they're above me and my art is about them. The entitle little shits just want to take, pervert, and monopolize what is not theirs.

Well, shit. I really like playing druid. Now I wonder if people have been thinking that of me as well.

>>53231627
You sound butthurt. Furries the only people willing to pay for your shit?

>>53231659
Why do you give a shit, Anon? If I stopped to listen to either side's bitching about the content of my work, I'd never have gotten everywhere. Now everyone praises my artstyle and everything but I haven't forgotten.

>>53228997
What am I if I mostly play half/small giants?

>>53231702
You're the guy that didn't read the last line.

>>53231702
Then you have height issues.

>>53231061
Everyone wants aesthetically reasonable characters.

>>53231737
Somehow I doubt a naked animal-person woman with bare breasts qualifies as "aesthetically reasonable".

Probably if we were in a private room, but outside in the street, I doubt it.

>>53227820
you dont need to play them consecutively, they'll just assume
even if it's a creature that doesnt have fur, you'll be 'the furry' for the entirety of that campaign.

I tried to play a grippli as straight as possible, it was a campaign about home steading a new civilization, a low level ranger in pathfinder, who mostly climbed trees to see things, who was outclassed by some tsundere sorceress who spammed sleep spells on everything and set fire to all the forests the moment she mentioned 'oh and i have a raven haha'.

it's not even worth the effort to try and roleplay a characters niche, if your niche happens to be that you're a non-human.

>>53231873
Or you can just

Find a group that's not full of judgemental autists that can only see your characters in two-dimensional concepts such as race.

If you ask me, whoever bitches about character race is the guy who's obsessed with race.

actually the particular player was on thin ice with the gm of that game, so they got swapped out with the other person.

heres another of his characters.

I feel like most people here are just operating on their own delusions.

Furry denotes some inclusion with anthropomorphic animals, but the definition changes every time.
Ask Fred, he'll say it's "people who believe they really are animals.
Ask John, he'll say it's "people who believe anthros are an ideal form of being".
Ask you guys, and it's "people who literally fuck their cat".
My interpretation is simply "those who are fond of the anthropomorphically persuaded".
Unless there's a universally accepted definition, this is all pedantic.

>>53227820
It's not what you play

It's how you play it

>>53232287
If you're a solid warrior who just wants to get shit done, I don't care if you're a dwarf or a bear.
If you're an airhead flirty bard, I'll accept some odd behaviour, but might ask you to tone it down, Halfling or Kitsune be damned.
And there's not a lot of difference between an Uncomfortably Lewd Bisexual Nymphomaniac Elf-Elf Bard and an Uncomfortably Lewd Bisexual Nymphomaniac Catfolk Bard, both need to be altered to be acceptable.

>>53232247
Here's the problem: you're asking people to have opinions about things that they either never would approach closely, or are fully biased into it.

Ask people who draw anthros and frequent the furry on a daily basis, they know a few things.

>>53232375
Scratch me, Anon. Gnollerina the Fearsome, matriarch of the party demands it.

Yes.

Slower.

Very good. Gnollerina the Fearsome Matriarch is pleased.

Okay that is enough. Enough, you runt.

>>53232594
My point was that everyone is trying to make definitive statements about something that has a fair amount of subjectivity.

And like I said, if Gnollerina wants scratches, that's your fault for playing her like that. It's no different from Singrid the Druid wanting scratches.

>>53232594
See, there's a thing - at what point does 'animals wanting scratches' turn sexual? I'm not saying it is, but even if it's innocent, scratching gnollerina might be taken to have undertones thereof by those who don't realize you're going for a doglike theme. I know hyenas aren't dogs, but you get what I mean.

>>53232757
they're closer related to cats, who also like scritches

>>53232706
Shut up and give scratchies. You don't want Gnollerina to feel like she's having a bad day, or you're objectively have one.

>>53232757
If you roleplay it normally, it's really so easy.

Imagine two girls, one is a human fighter, the other is a gnoll fighter, and they've been through thick and thin together. Like girls always do, they talk about girl stuff together, such as relationships, and one day, gnoll gets a bad breakup, like hard. To comfort her, human girl does what all girls do in this condition, give her a long hug, and then she pets her face because she's part doggo and so she likes it. A gnoll would like scratchies like every animal with fur or feathers; in fact humans like physical contact just as well (I mean, HUGS. It's the same as that). What if they just enjoy it? They just do.

Of course not everyone would be allowed to give the scratchies, and it has to be situation specific. A gnollish matriarch would only allow you if she trusts you implicitely and you are of low enough rank to not threaten her authority like that. Or you could give scratches to the party gnoll when you're reuinited after his resurrection. Or if he's embarrassed, like you'd give a noogie.

You're playing up the fact that both sides understand the "human-dog" comparision and are having fun with it. I assume the gnolls wouldn't "pet" each other, that'd feel weird for them. But all animals like being groomed and that it'd be weird to do it on gnolls if your relationship lends itself to it (again don't girls groom each other's hair? I once massaged cream on a bud's back tattoo as well), is entirely because of our, RL, e-political considerations. We're making tabboos where there are none just because some other guys have afterthoughts. Hell even if you'd fug a gnoll, that doesn't mean you can do some honest scratching.

>Furrys are the most degenerate.
... Have any of you even jokingly looked at the /d/ board?

As a person who has lurked in the furry community for almost a decade, I thought I was some tough shit when it came to tolerating degeneracy... Yet out of all the freaky shit I've seen around furrys, it was this place that I had to draw a line in the sand that I would not cross.

>>53233118
They're the same people.

>>53233155

Even the ones degenerate enough to theoretically enjoy it refuse to go because of the no-furries rule

Actually, a long while ago there was a rather huge push to cast the cub fetishists out of the biggest furry community out there.
Taking that as the standard, then weebs would be more degenerate since they seem to actively embrace lolis.

The trick is to be known as a furry beforehand, that way, your group will shrug off your fetishy characters and be pleasantly suprised when you play normal ones.

I suggest the ratio of 1:5 furries/normals.

Also is shit like minotaurs and centaurs be considered furry?

Non human doesn't need to mean furshit, anon.

Play some demon people, angel people, elemental people, or ghost people. Maybe some goblinoids or get or something.

But yeah, if you keep making animal people characters, you can make no more than 2 of them consecutively before people will ask wtf, unless you've had this group a long while and they know that's not the norm for you.

Personally I prefer hobgoblins.

Full orcs can be pretty fun though. I like to make my orcs not aligned with the campaign enemy, but still overly violent against our enemies and with weird psychology that the humans will find unsettling, but not dangerous. Opportunistic cannibalism is fun. He isn't killing people to eat them, but if they're already freshly dead, why waste good meat?

Not furry porn.

Furries are loaded due. There's a legend going around of a heart surgeon who is single-handedly responsible for 90% of all Star Fox Macro art. If you took all the money he spent on macro, you could buy 3 houses.

And not counting heart surgeons, they still throw some serious cash.

Nothing to worry about, there. I never wanted to be an animator, and being an illustrator went out the window when I chose a different career-basically for the money. Sadly I was misinformed about the reliability and work conditions of that job.

Because a guy wants to play something else than a human? Or even because that guy has a different sexual orientation?

>>53230073
We only get Sergal spam to trigger people who sperg about furries though. Stop caring.

At what point do you become "That guy who always plays female characters."

In one group, I'm currently playing a Female Crossbow Fighter.

My character in the quick one-shot we did, was a Life-Domain Theruge wizard scholar woman throwing out "White Mage meets Jaded Doctor." vibes.

My character in a seafaring campaign we're running is a Half-Elf Swashbuckler Rogue illegitimate daughter of a noble.

My back up character concept is a Forge Cleric based off Swordcraft Story, plucky and pro-active supporting everyone with weapon-based magic.

If we get TPKd, my next character is a Hobgoblin Stone-Sorceress who goes by the name "Terracotta, Mother of earth." who gives no shits and slaps people with a maul.

I sort of twigged on the fact that they were all chicks and I don't want to be that guy but I don't want to swap them to male just because. But really should I come up with some other concepts just to pad out the female characters with a few male ones.

>>53238877
Never. You can't know a man before he's dead.

The purpose of fantasy roleplay is to imagine yourself doign what you want.

If your point is however that you feel you're limiting your creativity by pigeonholing yourself in the same comfort zone of design then maybe you can try exploring out of it. But know that usually people mostly do male characters.
