how does one become a furry?
does it come from childhood experiences?
pls answer professional furries, i am curious.
>>3207506
My mother made me watch cartoon with female animal character in it, and pokemon/digimon, etc.
It all comes down for childhood, that zootopia movie will curse millions of children.
>>3207533
i watched those shows, robin hood and fox and hound when i was young, it had no effect to me.
there must be a deeper reason.
>>3207787
Well not everyone is the same, maybe some people lean more towards animals than others.
I used to eat with my dog when I was 5
>>3207506
I want to stick benis in sarkpucci.
That's all there is to it. My dick doesn't discriminate against anthropomorphic animals. It really doesn't run any deeper than that.
Mine started with a transformation fetish that turned into a furry fetish, but I got the transformation fetish from watching a lot of werewolf movies when I was going through puberty and kind of having a submission fetish that it leached off of.
For me it was the usual childhood movies that people mention, but when I saw the characters I just felt drawn to them. I'm not sure why, but I just really liked the idea of animals that walked upright and acted like humans.
>>3207506
I guess it's from watching all these Disney movies in my early years.

I grew up with dogs but despite (or perhaps because of) that, I don't find dogs attractive, real or anthro. I am a furry and can get off to foxes and wolves but not dogs.
Man, fuck disney cartoons. They weren't even that good.
Me, I saw some fursmut as a kid, liked it, and went from there. The community is nice, so I stayed.
I'm into animals too, but I think that's more about how animals behave. They're funny creatures when they're not trying to eat you, and they tend to smell nice and be pretty well behaved if you don't mess with them first.
I repressed my heterosexuality because I didn't want to hurt women.
See, I was really gullible back then, and I bought into feminist ideals a little *too* strongly, though I only pushed it on myself and never anyone else. I was never an SJW about it. It was stuff like "Porn dehumanizes and objectifies women!" Don't wanna do that, so don't look at porn. "Men and women should be equal." I agree. In order to fight my natural male sexism I'll work hard to make sure I see people not as human beings but as balls of light because I'm pretty sure that's what souls look like. "Men always look at women like they're meat." Don't wanna do that. Better do my damnedest to not be attracted to girls.
I didn't succeed, obviously, but I did a really good job suppressing it. It helped a lot that I was a late bloomer anyway. But, the internet being the internet, eventually porn found me, through fucking Deviantart. It was there and it was furry.
At first I didn't pay it too much mind, but then I started thinking. First off, a lot of it was of dudes, too. So, it was objectifying men too, and that wasn't so bad--at the time I didn't realize the double standard. I'd noticed a lot of double standards that had left me confused, and at first I'd press the issue, but by this point in my life I just assumed things were that way for a reason that went over my head and I was the dumbass who didn't get it.
Secondly: Furries don't exist. Well, you know what I mean. Furry fetishists exist, but the furries themselves... nobody's going to care if I objectify, something that doesn't exist, right? If I dehumanize something that's not human? If I demean a drawing?
>>3207506
You got a bunch of lonely, friendless kids who latch onto disney movies with anthropo whatevers. Those kids become different, further separating them from everyone else. Then all those "different" people join together and call themselves furries and wear tails and shit.
Alternatively porn pops up on your pc and you get off to it because it's got tits
>>3207506
In my case, I think it literally just had to do with early exposure to a fuckton of cartoons and animated films with anthropomorphic characters.
The inevitable sexual attraction came very easily since it already felt normal to me and I had become so familiar with these human-like characters.
I suppose that's why I've also always been attracted to other animals in real life.
>>3208573
0.05% of artists actually are
>>3208590
Weird. Me too. I can't imagine actually being sexual with an animal , and drawn dogs [like you anthro or feral] turn me right off.
>>3211340
Holy fuck I forgot about this scene I think this might be one of my contributing factors.
Is there some initiation or rite of passage?
>>3211340
what cartoon is this? american tail?
>>3208600
men and women are equal, that's true but a man should not let a woman be above him or a woman let a man be above her. if a woman hurts you there is no reason for you not to fight back! women are not weak they are just making excuses to dominate others.
>>3211966
Fieval goes West. About how Russian Jews leave new York (the most unrealistic part of the story). Coming to think of it.... This movie for me into size difference pred/prey vore. Is it Eric Idle as the main bad guy cat?
>>3212005
Looking it up it was apparently John Cleese.
Yeah that kinda threw me for a loop too.
>>3212151
Fuck, I knew it was the other one.
Eric Idle was the villain from secret of Nimh 2. Poor guys and their villainous roles in Don bluth mouse movie direct to video sequels
>>3207506
Varies from person to person of course.
For me it was a childhood experience. Character's like Nala from Lion King, the Wolf Mother from Jungle book, and Jenna from Balto tickled my fancy as a wee boy. They were the first female characters to interest me as a child.
It wasn't a "oh god I wanna bone those animals" kind of experience. Just thought they were pretty.
>>3207506
I personally believe that it's a case of social anxiety that triggers it. You might be distrustful towards people but at the same time want to be around them. So you just substitute the part you are suspicious of, the head. Put on the head of an that stirs the most sympathy for you and there you have your ideal anthro.
>>3212289
I had pretty bad social anxiety issues as a child, so this is an interesting theory.
regular porn -> drawn porn -> cat girls -> monster girls -> assorted furshit and xeno is how I went.
>>3207506
If I had seen this thread literally a day ago I would've just ignored it since I wasn't a furry. But now...
>be me
>be a pone fag
>see so much fur pone while trying to brows for pones
>find a fifi thread in /trash/
>get curious
>scroll through whole thread
>tfw I'm now a skunk furry
It took ONE thread to get me into skunks! After years of seeing furry porn and it having no effect on me, one thread dedicated to the tiny toons skunk girl that pulled me in.
>>3207506
Figure I throw my story into the mix to further muddy this whole thing.
>born in 92, so exposed to all the same sort of animal characters pretty much everyone else here has been exposed to too
>I really liked animals, not the way your thinking though, and watched discovery channel/animal planet even has a toddler
>back then it was nothing but documentaries of animals fighting, killing, fucking, and trying not to die
>was and still am big into horror movies
>had lots of friends I'd run around with outside and still have no problems socializing with others
>thanks to toonami my first waifus were a mix of Ryoko, Aisha Clan-Clan, and Haruko which explain a lot about my tastes now when I think about it
>around after puberty did the whole shower fapping thing, used my imagination and pretty much all my fap fantasy was me with various forms of what now would be called monstergirls and other animal woman
>discover VCL fairly quickly when we had a home computer
>get shown 4chan by my friends later down around 05/06
>got a lot more furry porn and places have furry porn thanks to 4chan
>only hung out in /tg/ until nazi-mod fucked up the board
>still don't really consider myself a furry due not having no interest in a fursona, fursuit, going to the cons, RP/ERPing, etc.
>still hate the general furry fandom and all their sparkledog shit
>into furry because I have a massive xenophilia fetish, mainly human guy with nonhuman female
>>3207506
Sometimes when I fap it's to furry images because exotic women are attractive
>>3207506
Blame fucking krystal and renamon

Fuck me! And I thought I was a beta back when I was a teen, but you took that to some unprecedented levels, man.
>>3212005
Jews did leave New York, then they went to California and started working in Hollywood. Obviously there's more to the story, but that's the nutshell version.
It all started with this scallywag
At its base, being a furry is being a fan of anthro animals. And growing up there was plenty of that in movies, tv and comics. And as I grew older, then the more erotic side of it developed. I could be attracted to the characters, especially if were Minerva Mink types and were designed sexy. It's not more complicated than that.
>>3207506
I discovered porn on the internet at a young age and went looking for more porn. Furry porn was prevalent and because it was characters I knew it appealed to me. I didn't really know about any sort of stigma regarding furries aside from some people hating them for reasons I didn't get, so I jacked off to furry porn indiscriminately.
I blame my super repressed sexuality when I was a kid. Finding a way to divert attraction to something other than other actual men. Also religion, etc. Porn is sinful, so what I'd do is google image search the names of pokemon and "accidently" find porn.
From there I found e6, and there I found true faggotry
first exposed to it in early 90s via random pictures by jim hardiman, TOR, eric schwartz, and vicky wyman
never looked back since
Animals that can talk, walk or are otherwise human-like just have a massive appeal to me, and it doesn't necessarily needs to be sexual. I just love the idea overall. It wasn't even all Disney movies either, I used to have a book of Aesop's tales as a kid, and the stories with talking animals just felt so right to me. The illustrations were some top-tier stuff too, those were some of the first times I thought an animal was sexy, I remember wanting to marry a fox when I grew up.
Funnily enough, I started fapping to normal drawn porn. Then I was liked to HTH and the moment I saw animal women fugging, it immediately clicked with me. It was like I just had found my holy grail of smut. After that it was only a matter of time to discover that this fell under the "furry" label and started perusing the various websites that hosted such content.
Never really had problems with friends in my early years though. I was a pretty normal kid and teen, with a fair number of friends and even a reciprocal love interest. It's only nowadays that I have some socializing problems after moving so far away from everyone I knew.
The fun thing is when I was child I though cartoon furries was a stupid childrish concept, the only furries I liked to watch was the TMNT, Street Sharks and stuff like that, not sexually only for the action
Some years later I liked regular hentai, with common humans but some good furry art apeared into my eyes, I remember feeling very bad after the fap... things changed since I wached hentai porn, I have a more open and complete sexuality and now i'm a huge xenophile, non human females are better, and furries are the best!
A life with one common girl will never satisfy me, I need to cum with a harem of diverse and exotic anthro girls, one day we will have VR/AR AI furry waifus in our computers, in our smarthphones, in our house in our sextoys... and it will be glorious
one man, lots of diferent waifurs this is the way to go for human kind
>>3213417
You were just a furfag in denial/delusion repeating some mantra to yourself and making excuses, now you maybe still hesitant but a furry doesnt born in one day.
Welcome to the pack
>>3213417
ponies are anthros, like Pokemon, Digimon, some characters of Disney movies and videogames, after all all anthros are called furries, not all have fur of course but is a way to simplify (avians, reptiles...) no matter if they are horses, have a feral or more human like body
At the end is the same concept: high intelligence non human sexual desirable exotic creatures, be free to call it xenophile, furries, anthros or whatever you like
a man realises sexual attraction and beauty can have more interesting and exotic forms than the common female human, they are like clay, we molded it to please our lust and sexual desires
>>3215637
I mean, you could say bronies are a sub furry, but I still don't see all furries in a sexual way, only a few exceptions may apply, one being skunks now. But maybe you have a point. And I am speaking truthfully when I say I fell for skunks in just one day. Before seeing that thread I had no sexual attraction to skunks at all!
>>3215716
>ponies are anthros
They can be, but I don't go for anthro pony that much. I much prefer their Equine forms.
>At the end is the same concept: high intelligence non human sexual desirable exotic creatures
I realize that, and it's why I don't feel that ashamed considering that they're not mindless animals.
>>3211966
>men and women are equal
HAHAHHHAAHHAHAHAHAHA
>>3207506
Too much spare time + access to the internet + a general lack of socializing. You'll need sexual gratification, and since you won't be encountering humans you'll resort to porn. You'll quickly find yourself bored with normal human porn, and gradually work in more and more kinks. The longer this goes, the more kinks you'll want to throw in until you're fapping to latex-covered hermaphrodite ferals engaging in incest.
>>3215961
no need to have a human like body, they talk, are intelligent, have a very expressive faces and body language, they are antrofied in some way
>>3216273
best lifestyle! 100% freedom, 100% income, 0% problems, seriously I dont understand why it is so underrated

>I have a more open and complete sexuality and now i'm a huge xenophile, non human females are better, and furries are the best!

Same0 I can't go back to real girls. Unless they're furries themselves and willing to roleplay a lot maybe
I wonder if "professional furryism" is a side-effect of cultural suppression of sexuality. As people cite they became furries because they were exposed to these cartoons featuring anthropomorphic characters, but I'm wondering if being deprived of all other sexual stimulus also had an effect on it. Combine this with the fact that furryism is a majorly American thing, which is where the puritan philosophies on sexuality still go strong in many parts of the country. Sorry for playing armchair psychologist, but just throwing some ideas out there.
>>3217700
Germany is like Europe's number one hat spot for furries. There are plenty of furries in many countires. Japan also has a big one, but that's less surprising given all the other shit they're into and the grandfather of manga, osamu tezuka, being really into furry girls.
>>3217700
I find them interesting and I like deep conversations about sexuality .
what you mean with "professional furryism" ?
You need to realise nowadays masculinity is like a bad thing and even is legally punished thanks to feminism, for this reason we don't need to be "man" anymore, no need to fight for wars or defend our families, feminist wanted to destroy us, but the thing is as a side effect, since they destroyed masculinity now we are free from our old chains, now we just can do what we want even if feminist like or not, instead of being strong and prepare to fight for our country we just spend our time doing what give to us pleasure
Also, you need to think woman have lost a lot of her value in the two last decades, you cant compare what a XIX century woman can offer to you with the nowadays situation, there is a lot of cost and not so much benefit
>>3217700
Well, I realize that I may be just an odd one, but I live in Brazil, a country where big brown booties are shoved in our faces at the start of every year and ever since I was a kid I had a thing for anthro women. I also had many interactions with women, even had a gf, but despite all that, furries are my main thing.
Probably sexual deprivation does play some part, but I believe some people may go down this path without social influences. Maybe in a similar way to zoophiles.
Human sexuality is just diverse and weird, man.
I always loved animals when I was a kid and wanted to be a zoo keeper or some shit. I was poisoned by disney at a young age and although I didn't have proper internet access or watch cartoons until I was ~13 I loved the designs and concepts of anthropomorphic characters. Moved back to England, got my own laptop and started drawing, obviously wanted to draw animals so I looked up references... Found more and more furry style shit and started from drawing realistic animals to furry trash. Didn't take long to stumble upon the adult artwork from there and it compromises the vast majority of material I've gotten off to over the last decade or so.
>>3218749
are you a artist?
>>3218886
I try, but it's a hobby.
It's all disney fault guys.
The big eyes of japanese cartoons take their roots to Bambi's eyes. Bambi that turned Tezuka into a furry and turned us to in one way or another since it made anthropomorphic animals mainstream.
It's almost like a conspiracy
>>3218963
I noticed we have less tv shows with sexy female furries nowadays, this worry me
>>3219281
Yes, even zootopia was disappointing, they didn't want to go Robin Hood/looney tunes route where furries were human sized, but more cartoonish.
That's why I didn't see that movie yet, despite being a huge furfag.
We have less female furries in vidya too...
>>3207506
I played WoW and worgen happened.
>>3219316
Do you think the fetish side of furries made now companies not like to do/add sexy anthros like in the 90's?
>>3220961
It's just that the internet is pretty aware of furries at this point, it's very tendious to make anything with FEMALE anthro because they're afraid of being called furries or spreading r34 fanarts on the internet.
Also back in the days, it was mostly made for kids, people didn't knew adults got off to this kind of things, the irony is that it was us that made us like that.
So personaly, I aim to do more product with female anthro, nothing overly sexy, but just god damn female furries because we seriously lack that... I plan to draw and make amateurish stuff like VN or even comics, we gotta fight at our level.
>>3221072
I ask myself wat consequences will have for the future of the xenophiles/furry fandom this lack of sexy females in nowadays media, maybe less people will come or maybe the people who will be furry will be 99% for the porn
>>3221603
>maybe the people who will be furry will be 99% for the porn
It's going to be that, a very small niche. But there is zootopia, so don't worry.
It's just that instead of Lola bunny, renamon or Krystal, they will have Juddy hopps... so maybe we will have a sudden grow of shortstack porn, idk.
Actually, I'm sad that most of the furry fandom resolves around porn, there are so much talent in this community but they waste it on easy smut gratification.
Pic related from a japanese guy. Can you imagine if he decided to make a shonen series instead of cheap-ass porn?
basically all the porn on /b/
>>3221657
this made as a shonen will means more merchandise and more doujins and sexy fanart about it... not so bad but I need to admit my main focus with furries is sexual atraction, I just think have a harem of different exotic sexy creatures is the men's ultimate dream
>>3218278
>sexuality is just diverse and weird
indeed
>>3225818
not that anon but that pic definitely understates it
I think that kind of mentality harms the idea of a diverse sexuality even more, it's just creating further ideas of sexuality to conform to rather than realizing that people's libidos don't follow any concept of logic
>>3207506
It's a side effect of depression
>>3226245
nah
>>3225818
That I know, everything except for transsexual refers to who you want to fuck and their gender relative to your own gender. What would transsexual mean in this context? I thought sexuality was something you were born with, but transsexual people are those who were once one gender, who then became another gender.
People become furries because they look incredibly more beautiful normal humans, there skin is perfect, perfect face, expressions, and muscular tonality all perfect. They pretty much embody the perfect human with fur and a few animal features. PLUS most furry porn has great emotional features so you can really get into it rather than some broad going 'oh oh yeeh' for 20 mins.
>>3207506
First boner I remember getting was to that giant hamster invader zim . Well now I'm in to vore, macro, hyper, fat fur,bara, growth,feet/paws
>>3230295
I wouldn't go so far as to say that they shouldn't exist, more that they shouldn't exist as identities in the social sphere. They should only be considered as adjectives describing the nature of sexual activities in a single event, not even used as an indicator of a person's 'sexuality' past saying that they're "generally X."
I think that gender could do to be similarly abolished, if not to an even greater degree.
>>3231076
that's some good taste in fetishes you have there desu anon
>>3230702
It doesn't fit with the others at all, it's just grouped there because it's part of the LGBTetc umbrella which in itself only exists as it does due to it being the brand of the main cultural and identity movement in sexuality today.

that's true, I also think there is a bit of escapism and misanthropy, furries are just perfect because we created them as romantic and sexual totems also nowadays in western society animals are seen as an innocent non guilty creature while people is greedy, and are full of politics, ideas and behaviours we dislike I have the sensation people will prefer in the future share their life with machines/AI partners than human companions, while human companions always ask more and you need to deal with complains and problems the AI/machines will be programed to be perfect, spending your time with a machine will be much better, like horses and cars, horses are ok, but cars are faster, you don't need to feed them every day and clean, it's shit, cars are non sentient beings, but what matter is, its better than horses if you want to go from point A to point B. technology is always better satisfying a concrete task/job and with the new AI revolution people will begin to spend time with it, one day people as companions will be like horses, completely outdated or at least a worst option than AI companion
Is it weird that I don't consider myself a furry because I don't really have a fursona?
I mean its weirder to me considering I HAVE drawn myself as a furry a few times but I'm always switching species and I haven't found THE ONE species yet.
I was a cheetah a bear a raccoon at one point.
I just can't choose.

Ponyshit is furry shit, just autistic.
There are tons of factors OP. It's also usually something hella different for everyone. For me it's purely the xenophilia. I would literally be gay as shit if not for the fact that women aren't like men.
It's not all sexual though, don't let furry memes tell you otherwise. I fap at most twice a month to furry porn. Sentient non-humans are just super fascinating to me, and it doesn't necessarily give me a boner, it's just more interesting than human beings.

>I don't like what you like

That's not what he said.
He said that furry and pone are basically the same shit (true) but ponyfags are more autistic because
1)They're in denial
2)It's feral
3)They only focus on a niche
I like ponies here and then, but he's right
>>3208600
>animals tend to smell nice
weirdest post in the thread honestly
I was just a pervert and arty boy growing up and had some exposure to media with them like Redwall and your usual cartoons. I also had a TF fetish from pretty early on which definitely helped. The TF is honestly weirder (and better) in my opinion.
>>3207506
I blame it on mind-controlling parasites.
>http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/28/science/parasites-practicing-mind-control.html
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxoplasma_gondii
It sounds crazy, I know, but if the parasite can alter the behavior of mice so much that they become attracted to their natural enemy, the cat, and if the parasite is so common it infects up to 50% of all humans worldwide, why not? It's not unthinkable that humans who are more susceptible to the parasite become furries.
>>3233150
I kinda hate cats a bit honestly. Mice and rats are great though.
I didn't become a furry until I stumbled upon furry porn when I was 14 ish. Something about snouts and soft fur covering their entire body was very appealing to me. Good furry art really does a good job of converting people.
I feel like I was a furry all along subconciously because my name and avatar at all the places I posted as a teen essentially WAS a fursona. I still don't actually participate in fursona degeneracy though such as RPing and whatnot.
>>3234091
Kishibe is really good yeah
Watch stuff with anthro animals in it.
>professional furry
C'mon you "professional furries", keep the thread alive
Zoophilia + autism + childhood exposure to cartoons and plush toys
you're a dogfucker so you want to fuck animals
you're autistic, so you never, ever get sexual imprinting right and greatly prefer simple faces like those of animals and cartoons to human faces that are so complex they're scary
you're exposed to furry shit from the get go
it all comes together into a fetish that hits all of your buttons

With the logic he's going with, I'm the opposite of autistic, and shouldn't be attracted to furry at all.
Still, I'm the OTHER kind of internet-autistic who's a sucker for extreme complexity.

It's OK, Anon. You're not on /pol/ anymore. You don't have to pretend to be a Nazi anymore.
>>3208362
Hey another transformation fetish guy like myself.
Do you like plain tf art, or does it need to have a sexual element to it? Transgender element?
My current top pick is forced male to female animal transformations, non-anthro.
We are degenerates aren't we.
>>3253386
What did I say that makes me look like a nazi?
It's just that I'm french, and Furry isn't really popular here. At least, less than USA and Germany
>>3253406
Anthro characters seem to be much more used in French media than in any other Euro media.
And you're basing your claim about Germany on that shitty map people keep posting, which I've already pointed out is more a map of English language proficiency in Europe than anything else.
>>3253432
Oh you're talking about SFW anthro characters. I thought you were talking about furry conventions or actual furries. There is some in France, but usually it's rare.
Yeah we got some cool anthro, but like always they're focused on males rather than females, which a shame.
At least, we got this
>>3253471
Sorry for the confusion. I have no idea which country has the most conventions. Germany does seem to be the convention centre of Europe, though. They have a lot of Star Trek conventions, too. Chakotay even lives there, from what I've heard.
> but like always they're focused on males rather than females, which a shame.
Really? I got the impression that the focus was on the women, especially with France's reputation for liking pretty girls and being chauvinistic.
>>3234091
I like muzzles, bared teeth, snarling etc. Humans just aren't angular enough
>>3253509
>I got the impression that the focus was on the women
Except those rare Orangina commercial, it's usually male anthro.
The gif I posted is from a french "anime" about a beast race from a popular MMORPG.... (they're called Ecaflip, pic related) except that the whole 50episodes are about a male cat and the females are just there for the fanservice.
Well it fits the chauvinistic and liking pretty girls part, but still...

Yeah, that kinda sucked. But at least they did a comic about Miranda and Kabroc that establishes she meows on climax. Which is funny.
>>3253711
Really? I have to see this. What's the name?
>>3253714
The Black Raven.

Thanks!
i don't really 'identify' as a furry or have a fursona or any of that shit, but i fap to furry porn so sure i'm furry enough. the thing is that i didn't come around to furry until later in my life. yeah i liked catgirls in anime but i was never into funny animal cartoons as sexual entities, even big-eyed disney sexpot cats or whatever. but it turns out as i explored various /d/-related things on the itnernet over the years that i had a few latent fetishes that only make sense in fantasy contexts, like growth and transformations and shit, and i sort of stumbled into furriness from there because you get a lot of fuckin fetishes in furryville. at some poitn when you're fapping to girls growing big enough to smother the planet in their tits it stops really mattering whether it's a human or some sort of weird fuzzy dragon rabbit thing.
They look cute together
>>3207533
I watched the same shows and movies as my younger brother. Every Disney and Don Bluth movie you can think of, saturday morning cartoons, etc.
By third grade i was obsessed with transformation an animal characters. My brother wasn't.
There's a clear predisposition to end up getting certain tastes and fetishes. It's not just born out of childhood experiences.
>>3253401
Oh yeah, huge degenerates.
I like plain tf art, but the stuff with sexual elements is better. Same with transgender, although I like female to male. I also really like forced transformations, it's a lot better for me when the subject doesn't want it initially.
>>3254098
The furry gene you think?
I don't know man... Like I said I had also a female dog... I really don't know how I ended up a furry...
But I remember than around 8or9 I saw space jam with my buddy, and when I slept on his room, he gave me a sheet with Lola bunny on it.
I joked saying she was my gf... how well, what a fucking foreshadowing, isn't it?

No, it's biased towards women characters.
You have the female hyena, giraffe, doe, goat, leopard, panther, mare, zebra, penguin, octopus and three bitches, then you only have two male cougars (one gay), a lion, a bear and not sure what else.
>>3254299
I said "except those rare orangina commercial"
Outside of this, male anthro dominate the market in France, be it in comics or tv shows.

As I was growing up, lots of anthropomorphic talking animals in various shows in the 90s combined with exposure to anime in the early 2000s with all of its catgirls (Thanks Toonami) made me keen on it, or at least not offended by it. Started fapping to the porn back in 2007 thanks to old /b/'s Furry Fridays, made an account on FurAffinity in 2011 to follow some artists I liked, and in 2014 I made up a fursona and bought my first commission.
>>3207506
My first furfag crush.
Just look at her.
>>3259469
mine too
When I was nine or ten I really liked those choose your own adventure books so Having internet I went and tried to find one So I found this: http://www.lycanon.org/story/game3/index.html
I liked the Transformation parts (especially the dragon scene :3.) That led me to searching for Transformation stories that led me to: http://tsa.transform.to/ where I read many stories involving furry creatures.
Watching My Strange Addiction the furry episode came on and I thought that was really cool and put a name to what I liked so then that led to many years of furry related internet history.

>Entire comic is about sex
No, you autist, the entire comic is about meeting people who have similar interests and being comfortable with yourself in spite of society having a bone to pick with anyone who openly wants more than vanilla sex/relationships.
Of course that sentence means there's more to it than just sex, not that it's not about sex at all. But that's just basic reading comprehension. I mean, this IS a comic series that explains what people see in their fetishes in an attempt to make people more sympathetic to weird fetishes. So what were you expecting?
Either you have trouble understanding basic human emotions and communication, or you're looking for something to be salty about it.
I started being attracted to cartoon animals when I was in preschool. Crushes on Basil the mouse n shit. When I figured out how to fap in late elementary school, it was all pokemon all the time.
I never stood a chance of growing up normal.

I was pretty much the prototype for a future furfaggot. I had a fucking obsession with foxes, let me tell you. Robin Hood was, of course, my favorite Disney movie. I even insisted my parents call me "fox", and not because I was into the X-Files. I even dressed up as one with what one could describe as a shitty fursuit for some school dress-up thing.
But none of that made me furry. My very first fetish was BDSM, which I've liked since before I even started masturbating. I grew out of my fox phase and went on jacking off to spanking and stuff without ever figuring I needed to add animal people to that. But there were two things that drew me into furfaggotry. The first was Something Awful, and its Awful Link of the day. They liked to take a lot of shits on furries, but that pretty much put me in contact with furry porn. The second was Morrowind, weirdly enough. If it had been Oblivion or Skyrim, it would probably not have had any impact. But in Morrowind, most Khajiit and Argonians were slaves. And that just played right into my BDSM fetish. Especially because beastfolk were so dehumanized to the point where one being naked wasn't considered... well, naked. Oh, and there was Ahnassi. I don't know what it was about her, but her whole "special friend" thing was pretty endearing.
i was raised on didney movies and don bluth, that nigga draws some HOT animals
after that i was always a fucking weeb and the animal characters always were more interesting to me, my favorite inuyasha character was shippo, and i would always play pretend (i was really young at the time) that i was also a half fox abomination like he was, so i basically already had a fursona for god sakes
some time later probly when i was between like 12 and 14 i got a big crush on renamon and would look up a ton of pictures, and obviously i ended up finding porn, but i thought porn was super bad, so i tried to convince myself that i only liked nude pictures with no naughty bits, or that i wasn't into dicks, etc,etc
so much for that shit
anyway here's the first ever picture that i considered my favorite, this was back when i thought "porn with no naughty bits" was the way to go
almost this entire thread is about kids finding out they're attracted to cartoon animals by finding furry porn by accident
this is 100% my fetish
>>3274506
t.b.h. I already knew I was into it before I found weird internet stuff. My imagination was crazy.
>>3274256
Are you me?
>into BDSM first
>loved Robin Hood
>liked funny animals but didn't really need them in porn
>got in there with Morrowind
Playing as a lizard dude in that setting definitely helped push it along.
>>3233150
>Furries
>Attracted to animals or animalistic features
>Most common fursonas are wolves, foxes, wildcats, and dragons
>all of which, barring dragons, are usually dangerous to humans in the wild
You know, it does make sense.
>>3275286
>foxes
>dangerous to humans
I think the trend is just biased towards predator animals in general, since many furries are edge lords
>>3275412
I think it's more because predators are generally more attractive. They have sleeker and more elegant bodies.
Horses have great butts though, and they are pretty popular because of this.
>>3275459
irl horse ass actually kinda terrifies me, it's gross and gigantic
>>3275494
Oh wow, what a faglord.
>>3274864
I just played an Imperial Warrior. Didn't even make my own class. But I played him for so long that he kind of became good at everything. Morrowind was awesome like that.
It's just the constant implication that nearly all Khajiit are slaves, combined with their purring voices that did it for me.
disney jasmine cat/snake->master of orion mrrshan->minerva->maxblackrabbit->bernal->doug winger-> then just about anything as long as the art is decent, and the fetish not too retarded
But being a furry is different, I don't pretend i'm a dog or get dressed all fucked up. I just jerk it to sexy pictures.
>>3272550
For me, furry art is 100% about the sex. I want NOTHING to do with autistic retards pretending they are horses, or jerking each other of in hotel rooms.
>>3275576
I hope you get a shattered sternum while trying to fuck a horse.
>>3276109
Would be totally worth it.
But still, I'm not stupid enough to try and fugg a random mare I have no intimacy with. I've had horses before and they are pretty loving with you, it's absolutely adorable, especially when the foals trust you enough to try to play with you.
Still, never fucked a mare though.
>>3276223
I used to have shitloads of horses as a kid, I sort of regret not doing anything. Some guy got caught nearby fucking a random strangers horse one night though, I thought that was hilarious when I was younger.
>>3253386
sadly, furry is not popular in Europe is mostly an american thing
>>3207506
How did I become 99% of the way to being a furry?
Autism. I can't relate to people and animal heads give the required distance. Plus it's easier to go "Oh, that's Judy because it's a Rabbit in a police uniform" than to tell human faces apart. [Although I don't have that much difficulty with faces, I couldn't say why I know the differences.]
Why am I not 100%?
Extreme autism. Most furries are failed normalfags desperate for a relationship and always wanting to talk about sex. I'm content to masturbate and a complete degenerate [autism] but I don't want to talk about it outside imageboards.
The furry community is the worst I've ever seen.
>>3278148
i just stay off of the really autismal parts of the community
every once in a while i have to read comments that were clearly written by autistic people though, and I'm always thinking "this poor person probably doesnt even realize their typing style just doesn't work for normal conversations" or "i wonder if they try to improve but just can't"
im a guy who likes furry porn, like furry movies and cartoon animals in general, but don't express it to those around me and don't make furshit a lifestyle like wearing fursuits n shit
what am i considered, half furfag? closet furfag?
>>3278251
i don't even really think the fursuit stuff is "mandatory" for being a furry or anything, really I think the primary requirement is simply liking any kind of animals with anthropomorphic traits, or even just animals in general in some cases
it's kinda hard to quantify, but I definitely don't think the stereotypical parts are even necessary, just an addon for the people that like that kind of thing
>>3278206
The non autismal parts are even worse than the really autistic parts.
When you see someone write so much text that if you printed it off the page would reach to the moon, and then notice what they're writing about is martin crocodile skink the coldhearted criminal who ruined everyone's lives, you can at least laugh at it.
when you have two faggots talking about their boyfriends, how they hate work, etc, it's just fucking boring. there's no redeeming quality until one of them spergs out and causes drama leading to a good ol' shitposting thread.
>>3274256
I enjoyed that story, we need more like this
>>3274437
"porn with no naughty bits" was the way to go
kek
>>3274790
true, I dont know why this situation is happening , I supose nowadays the amount of furry porn already puts the people focused in the sex stuff... i'm not sure if this will be good but one thing is sure, furry fandom will be more focused into porn in the next years
>>3275286
this animals are popular in the fandom because they are popular in the media (mostly cartoons)
>>3275494
THICK
I've always felt attracted to anthros, but it can't be a coincidence that almost all furries I've ever heard of suffer some kind of mental disorder.
>>3278251
Fursuits are pretty far from required family. You been watching too many shitty daytime dramas making fun of furries? All it is is a shared interest.
>>3278660
You can say autism, you don't have to beat around the bush
>>3278660
It's just that the rest are quiet.
It's not as if the average faggot looks like the ones on a gay pride parade
Or Brazilians daily dressed for carnival.

Was his art actually good?
It was kinda weird, I guess
As a kid I generally liked animals, usually kids aren't exposed to anything nasty about them, especially if you don't have any pets, and you just know that cats are cuddly, dogs like to play, etc. Then there was overexposure to cartoons and my favorite cartoons had anthro animals in them. Some of my favorite videogames had anthro characters too.
Funny thing is that my furry interest wasn't sexual until some point, probably because I got into furry via self-insertion and not via sexy cat cartoons. At some point I took interest in monstergirl porn and it just went downhill from there.
Lastly, being trash, losing all hope for any meaningful relationship and barely having any social interaction kinda set this in stone for me. I can but I barely do get off to normal human porn now, last human porn I have on my drives is hardcore/weird stuff like simulated necrophilia and timestop rape. I barely take interest in furry equivalents of those, though. Sucks to be me, I guess.
im not a furry, i just masturbate to a shutload of fucked uo stuff
