If Furries rule the earth (By Mittie)

[Taliaka Anichezachi]

This thread is just for fun and just overall a general discussion


What if, the Furry Fursonas of all us Fuzzy Furries where real and it where them not us that rule the earth,


What would the world look like?

What kind of tech would there be?

What would the architecture look like?

Who would be the leaders?

And how would it evolve?


Give us your thought about it
and give us some answers on how you would answer these questions

MITS long time no see!

The first thing that comes to mind is that there would be fur EVERYWHERE from shedding and we would focus our efforts on vacuuming technology. And for cats we would have those wall scratch things. Hopefully though we won't shed as much as other animals do 

My vision is pretty much the same as it is now except for minor complications that come with being a fluff ball.

I do wonder what would become of the predator/prey roles, like, would everyone respect each other or would there be racism between species who would normally hunt each other?

Biology would be so much harder, and more important, and unusual fursonas would have a hell of a time finding a doctor to help them with medical stuff...

I agree, and to be honest i think that society will split up in two The Predators and the Veggies like Black and White today, i think that they politically will be different and in stead of attacking and killing each other they will be politically rival

hai master! I think that we would probably have more of transportation, mainly because of the fact that some scientist said that chimpanzees are smarter then the average male. I honestly freaked at that so I began to think as a furry that our train of thought would be different, much smarter then how we are.

I feel as though different species would have different roles in society, however the world would be MUCH different to how it is for us,

You have to consider anthro / feral for each species. In our current society we have the working people who work on two feet and do their jobs, but for a feral, there would have to be a different job set.

as far as technology goes, it really depends upon how smart the different species are and if they are willing to work together.
I remember someone doing a test by leaving a door closed and for a dog and a cat to try to figure out how to get through the door.
The cat was relentless and would keep trying to get through the door,
The dog would resort to asking a human to open the door.

I feel as though buildings would be slightly similar to those of our own, as of right now, buildings work well, they are efficient and nothing much needs changing on them unless certain species require specific living conditions.

As for leaders, I feel as though society would be split into races then into anthro / ferral, each with a respective leader. But I'm not sure about this one.

There are alot of things that would go into a question like this and I dont think we have anywhere near enough information to draw a successful conclusion to this question.
damn, I could probably write a 2 page essay or so on something like this

We would be screwed if our fursona's ruled because more than half the fursonas i have seen have some sort of power or really strong weapon.

[Farewell]

Yes I agree, and I believe the stronger fursona's will be against the prey and could lead some into extinction 0-0 that wouldn't be good...

[Angder]

but a lot fursonas are also "Ideal" versions of people, so by and large, furs will be superior to humanity in most ways including moral and ethical ways... 

[Tina]

I personally would prefer a world where furries became their fursonas. My only problem being Lennox would be i would be having his allergy to evolution stones.

[MrRazot]

If we were to simplify it it could make more sense.

If all life on earth had evolved at the same rate as humans into anthropomorphic beings:
Would there still be feral animals?
What would the predators eat?
If there were mixed societies of different species, what would the social structure be like?

I think in a scenario like that, ethics would come in leading to global vegetarianism.
Either that or discrimonation against and farming of the prey.
Unless there's a crazy religion that has the prey lining up to the predators.

One thing that comes to mind is rampant racism, with everyone so significantly different and the biological lines between humans and animals being blurred, there would be some serious accusations that one species is less intelligent than the other and vice versa. Because of this I feel that the world would be relatively divided and true globalization would be stunted, we'd basically go back to an extended dark age of war as countries form for species banding together. The division, I believe, would only be more or less a temporary thing, because there'd be too many species to hold a country for each single one, so species would band together to create unions, but racism within these unions could still persist. Basically with the increased variety between humans comes an increase in separation and conflict.

Depending on the extent of peoples transformation, technology would be substantially different, the species without opposable thumbs would find it difficult to hold things so different sorts of models would have to appease these species. Different species have different shapes and forms so more variety in technology would need to exist, this would mean that the advance of technology would be largely slowed down as less people would be working on the same technology OR technology would need to be universal to all species which would take significant longer. The increase in war would mean an increase in technological progress, but again the technology created would be separate and akin to each individual species.

  Most current religions would probably be thrown out the window, but new religions may be created or the current religions adapted to fit with the phenomena. Regardless, the religions of this world would be substantially different from the religions of today. I would agree with Razot's idea, I don't believe people would go all vegetarian, but again with an increase of separation can come a larger diversity of ideals. So while some species may endorse a vegan diet, others will simply hunt for prey, this is what is better suited to the species and it creates a separation. It's hard to say if species with human-level intelligence would eat other species with human-level intelligence. It's likely this act would be committed at first, but as more unionism gets created this would be largely outlawed, provided there isn't some dominant species who has enslaved the rest.

  So the world seems a bit more bleaker in general, but I believe general life-spans would rise because of the nature of the species themselves, being stronger, faster, and more able may make it easier to live and make the world less harsh

I also want to point out that the human form is directly related to our intelligence; because in having intelligence, the brain-to-body ratio is a huge factor. As our brains grew larger, our "noggin" expanded like an inflating balloon, taking up space where our muzzle would otherwise be (for a dog for example), and our ears moving down to our sides.
We also had the advantage of long fingers and opposable thumbs which enabled us to learn and advance our technology.
We are omnivores which allowed us to use a wide range of resources, cultivate, etc, and ultimately be a very efficient species.
You consider all these factors, and you realize that even if a furry would ever come into being, it would likely only be one lucky species. So would we have to deal with racism between, say, a wuf and a fox, or a bird and a cat, etc? I think that more realistically, whatever species becomes anthropomorphic and smart would use the other species as pets and food, and the evolution of those species which are domesticated will be in the hands of those furries.
