My friends have been on my nerves about me being a furry, even though they're both furries. They say im not a furry becauae I don't draw them? Im pretty sure I don't have 2 them, just as long as I have my fursona set in my mind, and I really want to be one, but they've been tolling me more and more bc of my fursona pic, because I did after all get him from a generated website, but ideally that's what I wanted him 2 look like anyway. At school and pc, they tell me to get rid of my fursona pic, and that I'm not a real furry, so i just want to ask, is it wrong that he is generated and I should really be drawing furries to "be" 1?
-
no. A furry is someone who likes anthropormorphic animals. You dont have to draw them if you dont want. If you want one from a generator website, thats your choice. Granted, some people take it a little more seriously (me) but thats entirely up to you if you want to.
-
^agree
also: i found the thing you used. im going to see how mine comes out...
-
I'm not an artist and my sonas' stories can't seem to come out right when i try to type them, but i still consider myself a furry, and thats what's important, if you think your a furry then you are one. Don't let anyone detour you for that minor bit.
-
alright, got mine. how does I look?
-
There isn't a set of rules to join the fandom, you just have to enjoy anthro animals in one way or another, it matters not wether you choose to draw them or not.
-
:? People say the strangest things sometimes... it sometimes scares me as to what damage they can do when they're older.
No you don't need to draw in order to be a fur, next time tell them to google it, if they don't know.
-
I can't draw to save my life, or at least not to my satisfaction. I can't make fursuits either. For your friends to say you're not furry just because you don't draw them is just stupid. Like others have said, there are no real hard and fast rules or qualifications to be furry. If you consider yourself one, you are one.
-
i agree with macid
furrys are any one who likes antro, so your a furry. you dont need to draw them to be one, i like to draw them but that dosnt make me any more or any less of a furry then any one else. but for me beeing a furry is as deep as my sole iam a thrian ( a animal spirit in a human body ) but thats a hole differnt topic.
back on topic
if yoy wanted one that came from a web site then that what you wanted . some furs do request see if you can find one if you want.
-
Nothing wrong with having a generated character. The first incarnation of my fursona, Benny, was made in a generator program.
-
Hmm, I would say they are not furries because they don't really know what a furry is.
I mean, bottom line, you can call yourself what ever you want with the reason you want.
-
Furry is a self-defined term, and anyone who tells you otherwise is either an elitist or a noob. =]
-
(sigh) Some furs are just as dumb as non-fur trolling b@$t@rd$.
-
if your a furry your a furry dont let any one else tell you your not
iam a furry and therian for life
-
The only requirement to being a furry is to consider yourself one. Don't listen to them. They're trying to define the fandom based on their values, and their own preferences.
-
In my opinion "A furry is someone who calls themselves a furry".
There's no requirements for being a furry, just liking anthros.
Anyway, who would call themselves a furry if they weren't? They'd just get more hate.
-
well your friends are full or crap..not everyone is an artist..you dont have to be an artist to be a furry.
me, i draw my own fursona BECAUSE im an artist. and i fany myself talkented enough that i can draw my own, but you dont HAVE to draw your own to be a fur..
take Kangadrake or Uberl33t for instance on here in the Furry forums..i drew there fursonas for them, and there still true furries.
being a furry is whats in your HEART, not what you do.
you dont even have to own ears a tail a fursuit or anything like that to be a true fur.
^^
-
shes right if this helps this is what i consider a furry
1 you like anthro
2 you have a fursona
3 you all your self a furry
4 you accept people for who and what they are
-
thx 4 all the support guys :3 yesterday i explained what you guys have been telling me 2 both of my friends, 1 of them "accepted" me as a furry, my other friend is still on the fence
BUT never before have they really told me 2 my face, straight up, im not a real furry. They've only told me that im not a "complete" furry, or just not 1 yet, (still irritated me) and just how i should get rid of my generated furry, etc.
Today...... I saw both of them this morning, one of my friends was cool and said whats up fellow furry (made me happy) my other friend comes out of nowhere and just straight up out of nowhere to my face "Dude... what are you doing, he isn't a real furry...." and walks off, it made me angry yes.....(wanted to give him a left hook, held it back) instead at lunch i thought i would just chew him out.
Come lunch i go 2 our hang out spot, my friend who told me im not a furry comes up 2 me and immediately started to apologize. "That was uncalled, what i said in the morning, man... idk what got into me, i wasnt really thinking, im sorry etc." So now were cool and everything and he "accepts" me as a furry lol (im thinking my other friend talked to him during there 1st per.)
AGAIN ty ty so much 4 ur help and advice :D
-
Furs are this furs are that...
At the end of the day, i see Furrys as people who are more accepting than the general population..
By the definanition, if your friend cant accept you, he isn't a real furry :)...
You're a furry to me..
Oh and btw, my picture is an extremely famous drawing by someone else..!!
(no need to tell anyone who its obvious! lol)
So does that make me less of a furry?
Nope :D
just growl at them next time :D xx
