I can't understand you haters. Furrydom is fine.

Shush, you have your little opinions and I have mine. Don't like it? Move to a country with a theocracy.
QUOTE
What do you call Jaivaz. He was being all PMS about it.
Call me deka again, and there'll be nowhere for you to hide.

Deka, how can I be "all PMS about it" when I don't have a vagina or ovaries? I hate furryism and I think it is disgusting. Did I ever say I hate furries? I hate most furries, but not all.
QUOTE
There is nothing wrong with Jaivaz, you obviously don't know him to well. Jaivaz is this way about everything. He is actually very intelligent.

You get a cookie.
QUOTE
If he's that way about everything then I don't want anything to do with him.
He jumps to conclusions, He's simple minded, and I can't stand either of you.
*slams the door*

Once againt, deka, you are jumping to conclusions, being simple minded, and I really can't stand you either. You annoy me with your religiousity and your worthless opinions. And before you start with "OMG UR SO CLOSED MINDED!!!!!ZZORZRZZZ!!!!111"... there is no such thing as an open mind, or a closed mind. No matter how hard people try to pretend to be accepting of every single thing in the world, nobody can accept everything with love, etc. There are thousands of horrible, horrible people on the Internet, and in the real world, and it just happens to be that quite a few of them are furries. Will you be able to accept a pedophile because he's a furry and he has his right to his own "lifestyle"?

Topic closed. Not really because of Jaivaz's post, but because this is accomplishing nothing and is not headed in a good direction.

Apparently PureZC's maturity level is still not high enough to deal with these topics.

Wow... look at that, now we have more replies than 2 other QPFs! Lolz

On topic, I don't really understand furrydom that much, it doesn't really interest me too much, but at the same time, I have no problems with it. There are gross people everywhere on the internet, some of them myspace users, some facebookers, some furries, etc. You can't let a few bad apples spoil the bunch.

And rexla, since I'm sure you'll be reading this, stop deleting topics! lol if they become irrelevant/old or whatever just close them.

this jaivias guy or whatever his name is doesnt seem to intelligent, he tells his opinions to people as if there facts, he admitted to it but it still bugs me because all he is doing here is trying to get people down and ****, just because you fail at life doesnt mean you can go around raining on other peoples parades. No, i dont know him and I dont want to ( I dont see why anyone would ) I have no interest in furryism or whatever but Im not gonna tell them that they are disgusting and that they should move to another country, wtf man. The only thing you seem good at is bringing out the worst in people and putting them down. Seriously, you should try to stop being so negative all the time, you might get some freinds.
*Back on topic*
Im not to found of furries, mostly because I dont know much on the topic but if its something you guys like I dont see why you shouldnt do it. I know you said furries arent about sex and stuff but every time I hear the word I cant get the pictures from that csi episode about them out of my head! XP

McFace, I'm not a mod, but don't start flaming or you'll get this topic locked for good. That would suck.
Yes, Jaivaz and my opinions don't meet, but I've learned to let it go. You can't change people unless they're willing to change. I know I was mostly the one to blame for the 1st closing, but I think people will give me a second chance.
And with that, to the topic.
Good thing I have no idea what csi episode you're talking about.
Furryism is what you make it. Like LfF said, one or two bad apples don't spoil a bunch.
Just because CSI makes out furries to be perverts, doesn't mean we actually are.

I sincerely appologize for deleting the topics. Thank you for informing me on this matters. For now on, I will close irrelevant topics.

By the way...Who moved this topic back into general discussions?
I was going to attach this thread to my EoV quest...Since, EoV will consist primaraly as furries. The main character, "RexlaNinetales is a furry."
I'll be updating this post and responding to everyone...I'm typing the remainder of this post in a text file for my computer keeps crashing.

Wow... look at that, now we have more replies than 2 other QPFs! Lolz

Yeah! But one of the staff warned me that the projected quest forums is for threads related to our quest. He and ShadowTiger said that this thread belonged in General Discussion. Then SilverDragon closed it because the topic became way of base. Then Silver dragon moved it back to our forum and reopened it...And now someone moved it back to general discussion. Me hopes SilverDragon doesn't close this topic for good, because if it can't stay in GD, then I'll gladly attribute this thread to my EoV quest and change the title to suit our subforum.
Anyway, back ontopic...

--------
Daniel:
Did you notice what you just quoted? MarioBrosCom doesn't even know what furries are, so how can you two base your opinion on not knowing what they are.
Do you like bugs bunny, daffy duck, mickey mouse...If so, then you're a furry fan! Like I said before, furrism has nothing to do with sex. Have you ever seened Bugs bunny, Daffy duck, or Mickey Mouse engaged in sexual activities...I think not! If you like any half animal, half human character, then you're a furry fan...And you wouldn't have known this with the little information Daniel and Jaivaz posted. So, do a little research before you embrace an opinion. Oh, and furrism is not a sexual fetish. As a furry, I role play battles and wars...Animals vs. humans...But no sex is involved. We have magical powers and are elemental warriors! RexlaNinetales is a duel Fire/Ice type. Cat Mastar is a lightning/wind type. A lot of my furry characters are asexual...Meaning they don't have sex. I've seen many little children role play as if they're animals (baby furries)...And you know what, not once did sex ever became relavent.

I have to admit that part of the reason I'm hesitant about making up my mind about the whole furry phenominom is that I didn't know there was more to it then sex.

Yeppers! When I was a kid I would role play with my friends as different animals (I was always a timberwolf, arctic fox, or tabby cat). We'd wrestle around, pouncing on each other, walking around on our hands and knees, and we'd have jolly great time! We were young lads of about 5 to 7 years old...And as you may guess. There was no sex involved. Oh, I miss those good ole days.
Oh and I do remember you...Aren't you the music professor. I liked your midi submission.
Anyways, thank you very much for taking the time to expand your mind before making up your mind. In short...You rule!!!

Quoted for agreement. The more I read this thread (and the more people/furries post in it), the more I tend to agree with, and admire, the furries here - rexlaninetales above all.

Wow! I feel honored! *puts my paws together and bows forth gracefully.* You know what, that makes my day, I don't even care what Jaivaz, Daniel, or MarioBrosCom said anymore. You alright for a koopa Troopa. I must sincerely appologize for all the times Mario, Luigi and I stomped on you guys and kicked you at a bunch of goombas.

First off, the name is Jaivaz. See? One I, no S, and a Z. It's not that hard to spell. icon_biggrin.gif
I'm not "trying to get people down and ****," I am simply stating my opinion. Wasn't this thread about our opinions on furryism? Oh, I see... opinions that you agree with are just fine, but an opinion that goes against what you believe is a horrible way of getting people "down." And I wouldn't want to meet you either, and I know plenty of people who want to know me and people who know me and are glad to know me. And by the way, I don't fail at life. ****, I love my life and I would kill every animal in the world, with my bare hands, just to live another year.
And as for being "negative," people seem to always call me that. Funny, I thought I just looked at both sides of reality, the comfortable lies and the brutal reality. Oh well, I am such a horrible misanthrope for believing in humanity's wondrous intelligence and compassion and for believing that an animal's life is worthless! I'm such an evil person!! I should be ashamed of myself! icon_frown.gif
Also, I already have some friends. Quality over quantity.

Alright! Allies...Enemies...Neutral Characters...No more fighting. Just be greatful that all of us (furry or not) have one thing in common...We all are devoted to PureZC.
I don't agree with Jaivaz...But I also want you all to stop flaming him. Please. Let us all be civil and share our opinions without trying to attack someone elses. If you want to change someone, the last thing to do is to force them or insult them. You change people by setting a good example. So let's behave ourselves.

Daniel reminds me of TMOtakuVash.
Anyone remember him?
And honestly, someone who PMs you about how or how not to kill someone

Alright now, lets try to get back on topic. Tell me about some of your furry experiences...Both bad and good. Why did you have a change of heart, Dekadx2?
Kind of ironic how you started the thread with an unsure attitude about furries...But eventually, you started defending us with all your strength. I must ask you a favor though. Leave the retorts of Daniel, Jaivaz, & MarioBrosCom to me. I have to strike a balance between countering their argument but at the same time, try not to offend them with my opposing view point.

Rex, I already apologized for that. The only reason I want people to like or hate me is me. I don't care what Jaivaz's opinion is, I just don't want to fight over anything anymore. Don't use reality against us. Unlike furryism, reality isn't our choice. Furryism is our choice to be serious about something or to be spontaneous and carefree. See, just because we dabble in fantasy doesn't mean we don't face reality. The time I don't use on reality, I woleheartedly devote to fantasy because reality sucks and I deal with it when I have to and ignore and escape it when I can.
Once again. Feel free to discuss your opinions, be serious, be spontaneous, stick on reality or escape to fantasy. Do what you feel is you. You can be a dog furry, a dragon furry, a 9-tailed fox furry, a cow furry, or stick to being human.
I personally would go insane if I couldn't rest my chin on fantasy. Some people are to serious to believe fantasy. Or even just to play with it. It's all up to you.

EDIT-sorry, you responded before I did.
Anyway,
Just like other people, I saw the immoral side of some furries. Then when I find dear friends are furries, I saw the be yourself side of them. I personally hate reality. The war in Iraq, cancer,stds...It all has or will affect me. I realized 'hey, this could be fun' and decidded to give it a shot. I found something I could relate to other people on. Not just people I know, but complete strangers on this board. It's fun. Roleplaying as a goriya. the one guy who you don't see much in. Just like me. My furry name 'Daivo the Goriya' is a close person to me now. Well, nowhere, Michigan has to go to bed too.

Goodnight Y'all.

It's hard being 14. Peer pressure, problems with life, folks etc.
When I let that out, I let it all out.

Well that's too bad. I'm sorry to hear that. Sometimes when I'm depressed, I'll just send an email to my closest furry friends, "AlphaFox and FeralFox". It helps me to feel better talking to fellow furries.

Yeah, I'm still angry. But this time I'm gonna do the christian thing and not blow my stack.

I was going to relate this topic to my EoV quest since all of the characters will eventually be furries. So far, I have RexlaNinetales and Cat Mastar. If anyone can create some furry tiles, I would greatly appreciate it and the author will be known in the graphics section of the credits. Any kind of animal furry is acceptable. I've already created a dragonwyrm and a dragoon so I don't really need any dragons. Foxes, Wolves, Cats, Rats, Racoons, skunks, birds, (And yes Jaivaz, "even fish and cockroaches are accepted XD), or best of all, a praying mantis for a boss who will be called Elemantis. Either Furry Anthro or complete Animal would be acceptable.
---
As for being a furry in real life, I wish that I had an arctic fox fursuit with 9 tails. But living down here in central Florida, it would be miserable to be in a fur suit. However, if I lived in Canada, Greenland, Iceland, or Antarctica...A fox fursuit would be quite comfy...Don't you agree? Ooo, I would love cuddling with my tail(s). Just remind me not to smash my tails in a door.
---
As for my furry character, "RexlaNinetales" recently aquired the three storms pendant and now specializes in the elements of Fire, Ice, & Lightning; Though now she's seriously susceptable to earth, water, and evil. Three (123) of her tails are red at the base, orange midway, and yellow at the tip (fire attribute). Three (456) of her tails are blue at the base, aqua midway, and white at the tip (Ice Attribute). Three (789) of tails are brown at the base, gold (nonmetallic) midway, and yellow at the tips (lightning attribute). Her eyes have become bicolored (Fire attribute affects the left eye causing it appear brilliant red with an orange like ring. Ice attribute affects the right eye causing it to appear blue with an aqua colored crystalline structure. The lightning attribute affects her hair, causing to flow forth like Yugioh's hair, golden white, with lightning bolt shaped bangs). The fur on her back is covered in firelike waves and her underbelly fur is white, with patches of aqua colored fur. She stands at 5' 9" and weighs 130 pounds.

Does anyone else have a description of their furry (scaley) character? I'd love to hear about them.
