This whole thread is ueberhilarious!!
I better forward the URL to Cleveland Browns’ biggest (is it a pun? is it not a pun?) fan John Big Dawg Thompson. Yes, this is his official name – he went to court and changed his name to include “Big Dawg”.

Hmm, I bet that cute squirrel from “Chip and Dale” would make a sexy costume…
Shiranui, take it easy.
It doesn’t seem like anybody here is out to get you (although I do find the baseball bat joke rather tasteless too). Fetish-schmetish. I don’t see how wearing a Sonic costume is any different from producing analogue-only electronic music or making sure one doesn’t listen to anything above 140 BPM. It’s all a bunch of personal preferences. Weird, but who cares? As long as you don’t jump at me from a dark alley wearing a bush dog suit, I don’t see how any of this is my business. On the other hand, belonging to a fringe group like this kinda opens you to ridicule – is it really that surprising?
It’s funny how once you followed your “fucking Russians” comment with “When is a comment like this not a joke?” And yet you take all the furry jokes here as a serious assault. I’ve seen and heard plenty of anti-Russian statements in my life. And I am pretty sure there are many more people with baseball bat fantasies involving Russians than those involving furries. Anyway – just to re-align your perspective a bit here.
…A topic like this - only in the North American forum…

After the viewing the link to this site from this thread on an earlier page and then going on one of those lost tours of the internet wilderness on their site, I stumbled upon this psytrance link.
I am not sure what to think of how they define Jews, NAZIs, homosexuals, hippies, you, and many other things over there. They have many photographs that I find offensive. The site seems bent on helping people mess with other people using the internet. Freedom of speech is certainly an interesting pushing point with this site. I'd not get so worked up with the site as much it is seems there's people that really enjoy this stuff, including their definition of "You". The site is amazing in its complete denial of most types of social niceness and etiquette. I wonder if they realize this in itself is a type of socialization and conformity?
The psytrance definition has some things that have truth to them, as do all of the articles that I read, and yet just about everything they write about is from a point of view I find offensive.
How they, Encyclopedia Dramatica, talk about these "Furries" that started this thread is ..... What? I am not sure. Is it informative? A large grain of salt to get to the actual facts of the matter is certainly needed. Or just another source of information that one may use to find out something? Satire and spoofing with tidbits of factual information?
I have seen many people dress in costumes of animals at gatherings and parties. This doesn't necessarily make them members of the furry group, does it?

Seems like it. Reminds me those broadcasts on college radio stations by the Church of the Subgenius.
Who cares?
One person dresses like Mickey Mouse. Another one talks shit about people who dress like Mickey Mouse. Yet another one ponders and meditates and tries to figure out some universal truth and philosophical meaning of dressing like Mickey Mouse. Can we slap each other on a cheek, wake up from this hysterical dream and realize – we are still talking about freaking Mickey Mouse!
Did I already ask “Who cares?” No? I’ll ask again. Who cares?!
As long as Mr. Mouse does not get an idea that I am Minnie – fine with me. And some of them look positively cute too.

Everything people say about furries is true of at least ONE furry, but none of it is true about all of us.

Change "furries" to any other group name and it still will be true! All the nasty things Gutter used to say about Americans are true for at least ONE American. All the nasty things John Taramas is saying about Jews are true for at least ONE Jew. Well, in both cases – probably for more than one. But what’s the value of such statements? Not much, in my book. Treating everybody on an individual basis is much “costlier” (in terms of brain CPU cycles) than pre-judging by group affiliations – but I prefer it that way. Less likely to do wrong by anybody then.

Had my very first experience with furries (well, 2 of them) at Gemini. Was very, very, very strange and was a source of much hilarity for me.
So, to set the stage...its saturday night, prime time like 2-3 am, everyone is off their rocker and I was just watching the dance floor and relaxing a bit after a fire set...when I see this guy walk over next to me with a rock, which he meticulously places in the middle of the unofficial fire dance area, and places 3 glowsticks around it in a triangle pattern. He then proceeds to set up a tiny camera on the ground so that he can film himself doing whatever it is he wants to do.
He is covered with probably at least 50 glowsticks of varying size and color, 20 of which are stuck around his tail. tail. and a good 20 more are stuck to strings which he is flailing around with...apparently he wanted a very specific shot, because he walked up to me and asked if I could hold one of his glowstick-poi in a specific spot for him...so being a nice guy I go sure, and hold it up for him. I had assumed that he was going to play with the camera but no, he had asked me to hold his glowsticks so that he could properly don his furry mask. It took a while.
Then he took the glowsticks back, and proceeded to flail wildly while I was unable to contain my until-then suppressed laughter. Fucking awesome - I love furries just for that experience alone.

Was it the guy on the left at the beginning of this video?
Sounds like you met scooby. He's not really your typical furry... he's his own brand of crazy.
Edit: the female was probably Kitten, scooby's girlfriend. Her outfit is um... not a pig...

So then you probably also wouldnt laugh at the joke: "A seal walks into a club..."
Personally, i'd dig to meet a furry. I rate it would be so entertaining. And i dont mean that in a patronizing way

You got my attention - so, what happened to that seal then?
I think the whole thing is kinda cute. At least, if I had to spend my time in a club full of fringe weirdos, I'd rather be surrounded by cute fluffy creatures than by vampires. Although, dancing with vampires was not too bad either - I liked their music.
Anyway, once you've been to a gay pride parade, it either turns you into a militant bigot or makes you ultra-tolerant to any other strangeness out there. I'd recommend that - especially if you are indeed a psychologist. Gay clubs are awesome, by the way. Except they tend to play too much house for my taste. Well, at least in the birthplace of house they do.

Cool!
Any skunks?
Well, I don't think I'd be dressed as a Maine Coon - that outfit is too hot even for real cats.

Yeah, I suspect Big Dawg is not your kind of guy then. And at ~400 lb he may look a bit intimidating too.
Still wondering how he'd react to reading this thread...
I met this grouchy ultra-conservative dude once. He was a prison guard by trade and a very unpleasant person overall. But he was like twice born again and three times saved, so the Holy Spirit once in awhile reminded him to be nice. He liked rainbows and so he expressed this new-found niceness of his by placing little rainbow key chains, fridge magnets and bumper stickers everywhere. Of course, a fair share of his rainbows had only 6 stripes. When I told him what it means, he turned livid. A few days later his wife told me he took all the rainbows down and threw them away. He was very upset, because “those fags took away the only thing that made him happy”.
Well, now that I remembered that story, maybe I won’t contact Big Dawg after all...
