I have, in the past, received personal messages from little-known users of these forums saying I do not belong here because I didn't have a Fursona/wasn't a Furry. These messages were promptly deleted, and the users were ignored. More recently, within the past few days I updated my profile to have a little bit of information about one of my primary characters, Ted Vorurteil, and began losing karma points from the 18 I had just before I changed my profile. I also understand that a few of my Role-Play characters display contempt for Anthros, they hold the archetypal roles of the villain and are there to merely serve as an obstacle for the heroes(Which also include Humans i.e., Frank Keegan, Virgil Isorus) of the stories, and are ultimately conquered by good. The problem thus does not lie in my characters, but likely because of my choice in Persona. I chose Man as my model because he is a generalist, not because he is superior. He does not benefit from the Bear's strength, but he does not suffer from it's lack of craft. He is not granted the dexterity of the Snake, but he does not share it's repulsiveness. This appealed to me because I wanted a character who could do many things with reasonable skill and results, rather than one who could succeed greatly in a few tasks and fail critically in others.
I adhere to the rules and I even help keep them by reporting transgressors to the administrators and moderators, and never did anything wrong, but because one or more impertinent users here cried Human, I have to lose my status as a good member of these forums, and new members could get a bad first impression from me. At first I thought it was a joke, but it's not, and now it's just making me mad.

As long as you adhere to the rules, which you have, you have just as much right to be here as anyone else. If they don't like it, they'll just have to leave or deal with it. They aren't the ones in charge of the forums, they have no say in who's allowed and who isn't.
Please do not hesitate to contact me or Tweak about any conflicts concerning other forum members. We can make sure the matter is dealt with appropriately.
-
well i agree with you, new members, or old should just get over it and get a life in the process... the guy doesnt want to rp with an anthro character, so what? you should get to know the guy first before making judgements...
and just so ya know i gave ya a boost in Karma cause of people nastieness ;)
-
Whoever is saying these things to you is, in my opinion, extremely immature. You have always been an awesome member. I enjoy reading the rp's you post in. Just brush the dust off and keep going!
-
Thank you all for your reinforcement, I know someday that the bigotry will end both ways.
-
Wow, Are they serious? Well, I'm also a human, just like you and Gabag, (yeahyeah, i picture myself as a Zombie ((victim)) but i'm still not a furry)
But are they seriously Sending you messages About you Not belonging in the forum?
Well yeah Keep on going, youre an awesome RP'er, You're defintely the best villian ever ;). Ive always considering Joining RP's but My timezone Doesnt really allow it, so i mainly view them. Keep on Going DeNihil!
You have always been one of The members i Looked up to most here On TFF, Dont care about those New people. you're awesome and you know it
+Karma^^
Ps. i wish those Punks Would pm me, Id show them hell ;3
-
Thanks Horror, though I unfortunately haven't really been in any recent RPs... I wonder if it would turn for the worse if I was cast as the Main Antagonist? :P
-
I admit, the first time I saw your profile I was a little surprised by a human species persona. However, I believe that any person here belongs in this forum (unless they're against furrys, that kind of doesn't make sense for a furry forum). I want you to know I accept your presence in this forum (even though I'm a new member and my opinion is small on the scale), and anyone who doesn't shouldn't be in this respectable, friendly community.
-
I had someone attack my karma. I think it went down to -17. They were quite dedicated to changing a number on an internet forum.
Honestly, I can see why some people would, but frankly I've met people like this before and they're everywhere. Most are pretty weird. I find it interesting that people take notice of me. Though a number going down or a message being sent means absolutely nothing. It's like throwing potatoes in a war. You wonder why someone would be that stupid.
-
However, that Hurpderp guy is a good example of the kind of person that should be in ridicule... A permanent banishment(Fix and Forget :D) is in issue, I assume?
-
Yes, I have reported him not too long ago. People like him shouldn't be allowed to join respectable forums.
-
uhmm, yer that guy is a loser, and so is teh other peoples, besides i like ted he's awesome dont worry bout'em, because they're prolly not even furries as we are, because if they're rude to you like that, they're JUST humans, and JUST humans have a hole in their heart reserved for something better that may never come, whereas us furries are generally kind, our hole has been filled ever since long ago ^_^ so dun worry, and i know your not a furry kinda but your on here. and your nice, so your fine. dun lettem get to you :)
-
Well said, Niala.
-
That guy made me so angry.
There is no reason people are doing that to you AnthropoDeNihil. Who cares if you are a human? I dont and other furries on here dont either and the ones that do well they can just put up with it.
Your a nice person and you deserve to stay.
-
Thanks all again! ^_^
Niala, you're cool with Ted being around? o.O
-
well i havnt payed much attention lulz, but, i can assure you the times i have been, teds been okay... and im o.O aaall on my own ^_^ but anyways
-
How are you on your own niala?
And teds awesome!
-
the face... pay attention to the o.O face... yes TEDZ AWESOME *pawthumbs up*
-
That individual (HERPDERP) is a prime example of your everyday attention troll. They thrive on what attention they can get by causing mischief whenever and wherever they want. Best way to be rid of them, ignore them and contact a moderator or admin if present. If none are present, report them.
As for anyone giving grief to those who do not use the 'fur' portrayal here, they hold the same rights as any other user to show themselves as they see fit (as long as it is within forum rules).
-
Well I've always considered furries to be more affectionate than normal people, I find this frankly rather shocking!
-
That's because Furrys have seen the world and it's cruel intentions (HERP a prime example), and unlike humanity has come up the with the intelligence to actually keep the world a good place (quite a revolution, if I do say so myself).

I don't know what your on about. =/

I'm the only one? Ah, never mind then.

what about we humans who do that too!
anyways Denihil i find it shocking since no one has bothered me or horror about not belonging, not that I want the private messaging harassment to happen anyways.
Only reason the Random Thread is as fun as it is is because there's Ted
as for this Herpderp fellow, never had anything said to me about him, and hope to never hear anything from him, for he sounds like an individual who deserves no respect nor pity

I think it was because my characters were entirely Human, no hybrids or anything.
I need to make Ted unlikable... yet still somewhat respectable as a bad guy. (http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs12/i/2006/307/8/8/_shakefistrevamped__by_zacthetoad.gif)
You know what my signature says Never to do...

Sorry to hear about this hate on non-furries Denihl, but yeah you don't deserve that kind of disrespect because I mean you've played along with furries all the time anyways and even been one yourself several times in rp, so its not like you treated furries any differently at all so it seems very unfair that furries could even find a way to dislike you.

I agree that people shouldn't bash you or flame you just for not being a furry, but to be totally honest, I have somewhat of a disdain for non-furries who come here myself. But I don't hate someone just because, or at least don't make a big deal out of it. ...Although I do occasionally subtract a point from Gabag's karma, but that's pretty much it, and it's not like me and Gabag are mortal enemies, we can actually be considered friends. For the most part, I keep my disdain silent, and for other people with the same disdain, they should keep it silent, too.
It's okay not to be a furry and come here, as long as you're not a troll and don't show severe irreversable hatred torwards us.

so you're the one who keeps killing my karma -_-
-
Lol, yes, but of coarse I don't actually dislike you, it's mostly as a tease. It's not like Karma means anything.

Now, this is where furries seem to poke holes into their own logic. If humanity hates them, and they want to make peace, why would they shun those few open minded people who are willing to join them, whether or not they are furries?
Let me give you an example, the golden rule says, "Treat people the way you want to be treated", that doesn't mean one can just go around hating others if they are hated themselves, because your only asking for more ridicule. Disappointingly, that's EXACTLY what they are doing here.
As a furry, I feel ashamed by that fact. Even with all the bad propaganda revolving around the furry fandom, it still does not give any furry the right to hate humanity. Acting in such a manner is futile, as it will only lead to more hatred, ignorance and anger. I am glad that you show your face as what your and the rest of us truly are, HUMAN. It doesn't matter if your a furry lover or not, your still human. So hating him for being a human would be hypocritical in such a disgusting manner. It's like making fun of someone for wearing the color pink when you are pink yourself.
Well, enough of my ranting, It's good to see that you have people on your side, I'm one of 'em. Even if you don't know me, I can relate to your situation very well. Good-luck with the rest of those blokes out there, you've got a whole mountain to climb before everyone decides to open up their minds to you.

you like me you but only have a disdain for me...
enlighten me onto why i deserve disdain
-
Man, we have Gabag on here and he is human. As long as you are kind to us, we couldn't care less.
By the way... your gun supply may be empty. My hoard raided your cubbord so they could take on Tokyo.
*Gives a bunch of caps*

Mostly, it's because most of the people I know that have humans as their personal character are either trolls or big jerks , and maybe that's where I got a slight disdain for them.
To be honest, though, I did have somewhat disdain for you at first, not just because you're character was human, but you came off to me as a bit of annoying. After a while, though, I got used to you, and actually started to like you.
I feel it's alright to have a slight disdain for something as long as you don't make a big deal out of it, like the guys the topic poster described. But as far as getting my karma lowered, well... I probably deserved that.
Also, HTGW, That's pretty much what I've been doing. While I do have somewhat disdain, I don't act like a dink torwards them just because. And yes, I am well aware that I am human. I don't even try to hide it, my character is just that, a character.
-
Well, my post was not posted towards you, as though it may have seemed so, Guru. You've got the right thing going on as a furry, it's just the one's who, as stated before, hate others for being different from themselves.
I do appreciate your reply on my post, but I was imputing my own opinion on the matter of THIS topic.
-
We do NOT appreciate your disdain here, Guru. Gabag deserves none of it. Leave it off the forum.

With pleasure. I will never speak of this again.

*Karma boost* I bury my face in my claws when I hear, "Hyoomans r nOt ANTHRO." Uhm, lawl? "Anthropo" kind of means "human flavored," silly pups. So yer losing yer fur.. at least ye aren't an anime cat girl.

This topic's gone on long enough.
