i dont think furries are any worse with their sex addictions than any other internet culture.

The majority of furries just happen to express that more than some others. In like every furry server on TF2 a couple of people has a yiff sprays up.

http://www.gogloom.com/Furnet/FurAffinity/ The majority of the rooms on this site are meant to have sexual content in it.

so you are saying other internet cultures, such as fantasy role players dont have cyber and s**t?

all im saying is for some reason people perceive furry fan-dom as some sort of perverse bestial sex obsession, when really it obviously isn't and in fact is its only as sex obsessed as ordinary anime fans.

and all im saying is that people think that because they see it happen a lot. On Facepunch.com this guy was talking about how every time he enters a furry server on a VALVe game, there are yiff pictures there. So now that guy and others players think all furries are obsessed with yiff. Then you have all these >Insert every negative adjective in the dictionary< losers who treat being a furry as a sexual fetish and has admitted to it and is proud of that and claim they're furries. Fappin' off to furry porn doesn't make you a furry.

What server(s) would this be? I've been hanging out on CC2iscool for a while, and maybe every other week there'll be ONE person spraying furry porn on the walls.

Lol what!?!? I see them and they're usually more than just ONE person. Besides I'm in the steam group. However I've only played their TF2 server(s) I don't know if they have any for other VALVe games.

I see black people on cops all the time. That means all black people are either cops or under arrest. heart

While furry is not comparable to race, stereotyping base upon infrequent encounters is the point of the above statement. I meet three people of who are representatives from "______". All three are asses. Is it safe to assume _____ is filled with nothing but idiots?

Retype that, I'm afraid it didn't make sense. And please fill in the blanks as well.

Do not fight it, embrace your furriness. You lonely, depraved, souls.

Yiff, to me, is an absolutely disgusting word. I try to use it as little as possible. I'm also creeped out by fursuits, but I won't judge people who use/do these things.
They're just icky to me is all. XP

Questing [Nothing] : ?k/?k
 

[Selene Aries]

Fursuiters use to creep me out, back when I first heard of them. Then I learned that most do it simply as a form of cos-play. There are few that do it as part of some kind of plushy fetish of sexual kink. Some do, yes, but even non-furries portray this behavior.

It really is amazing just how many people are against something, or find it disturbing, when they really are ignorant about the subject at hand. Guess that goes in line with the part of human nature where we fear the unknown.

This would be the first time I ever ran across someone that found the word, yiff, itself disgusting. More so since it is meant to be a cute saying the alternatives.

I've only played on their TF2 servers as well. Of course, it might just be the hours I play, what with living in Hawaii and being mostly nocturnal on top of that. So maybe the night crew just aren't that porn-obsessed?

I remember I always seemed to miss all the serious guild drama that went on during the day in WoW...

Without the furry fandom I hear a lot of s**t about furries and sex. I used to deny it, but now I realize that sex is fine, and everyone has a weird fetish.
However, within the fandom I hear a lot of stereotypes about furries being losers. This is something that is a problem; being more concerned about roleplaying than schoolwork denotes a particularly lame lifestyle. It's a true stereotype and one we should hope to improve, not even for the name of furries but for ourselves.

i think in the sense of a VALVe game. Yiff is no longer porn its almost a potent symbol of furry empowerment. its not so much for fapping its for telling all the furry haters and bastards that no matter what the ******** they think say or do furrys will come back full force with all the yiff in the world and prove to you they dont give a s**t.

to most of the furrys i know yiff is almost a joke, not that they dont fap to it. but in the sense of shamelessly placing it in public makes it alot different symbol than just pornography, its humor, its a greifing/trolling tool, its a potent cultural statment that furrys dont give a s**t what you or your dipshit 4chan friends think.

Yiff is to furrys what the drag queen is to the gay culture.

Maybe you already know this, but the word "yiff", in the beggining, was used as a greet or something. I was used to express you are happy to see somebody.

Or so I've read.
