One thing Iv realised over my time with other furries...
How come furries are a lot more kinder than humans?
Iv met many humans who are horrible, who bully others and so on...
But Iv NEVER met a horrible furry.
Sure, Iv met a weird one or 2, ok maybe one was a bit worse than the other... but they weren't exactly horrible.
At my school...most people are judged by thier appearance...nice huh? (Im being VERY sarcastic) >:|
But anyway....what do you think?

I believe when a group is pursecuted or made fun of they themselves make a bigger effort to stay together and be friends, because without each other what more is there? My two cents  :ded:

Yes, not only by nessecity, but one would think that someone with a mean personality wouldn't really like furries.

I think being furry is somewhat of a personal thing. Like most animals, we stick together- but as humans, we have that choice to be around who we want to. I think it's somewhat like how some gays prefer to be around other gays.. >> It's just because we feel comfortable around those with the same interest and there's no reason others with the same interest would judge you for it like other people. >>

I think it also has something to do with our ability to relate to animals. People that can relate to something they may or may not even fully understand often make for good caring, compassionate friends.

gotta go with blackOut, though i've noticed a big rate of acceptance too, like im not a furry, but i still get accepted, lol, sometimes i wouldnt even notice that our lifestyles are so different, because i seem to get along with most people here, it might depend on that furry fandom has always been driven on fun, some people go deeper in it than that, but for most people its their lifestyle, because they fit into it, and they feel comfortable.. and here at the forum most people share the same lifestyle, making communication easier too, because the people can relate to each other

But anyway....what do you think?
What it means? Outfit? Skin? :d
In every school kids separate on different groups: those who are shy, those who are party ones, etc, etc... They can't hate anyone just cuz he looks different. I'll say it in this way: they scan you, if u chill and don't take everything too seriously, they'll accept you as "he's ok, let's find another black sheep in our class". But if someone is really messed up with his head, better avoid any conflicts and show him respect (if he continues his childish ****, the best way to deal with it is show him middle finger or something like that xd) I dunno... USA have really strange society...
My head... :d

I agree with Blackout on this one; people who've been done wrong so many times tend to stick together.. It's like that with my friends and I.. We're really just one big group of losers at school.

I am going to put my two cents in.

      I think that when people who look sfor someone to pick on they pick on people whom are vulenerable Ie. a person who has no group,  When people group together I would refer it to a pack, they each defend each other and as in animals the bigger the group the more people seem to leave you alone. When a single "loser" has no group it seems like he/she gets pciked on more, but if you group together than as Nyx said they really are a big group of losers but a group of losers that are harder to make front of as a whole.  ( no offense meant Nyx )


Stay close to your friends.    :)

Nyx, We are not losers we are just unique I mean I have a very small group of friends that accept me being a furry. Since there is no other furries in Halifax ((The city where I come from)) then they are all I got I mean aside from that I am picked on a lot . But after my tears I remember I got you guys which means all the furry friends I could ever need so yeah like blackout said we stick together!
My dear there is no danger
Can't you see they turn blind eyes
To we swift and spotlight strangers?
Oh before the rush is over
We will be revered again
While the victims still recover
Oh,
Are we running toward death?
I have met him times before
He adores us like the rest
Oh even if we're discovered
Just be sure to wear your best
We will surely make the covers


I am a Hermaphrodite and proud of it!
