non-humanized MLP cosplay should only be attempted if you are a furry, a troll, or both.

Well, yes, I get that seeing the picture could be unnerving to some people, I don't see it myself, but I understand that others do. I really doubt the picture was taken with the intent to upload it here though, so really, fursuiters aren't ruining your day so much as whoever posted this here to troll you all is.

I really don't get why it warrants this level of hate though. Fursuits don't really interest me, so I just don't pay a lot of attention to them, and that's that. I don't get why people see them as such an abomination, they're just costumes.

^ No, no it doesn't. I think you'll find the ratio of "not porn" to "porn" to be far, far less than you're used to on furry sites. Though with the recent relaxation of the rules that may change. Perhaps ponibooru will become the go-to furry MLP site. Who knows.

and it's a fursuit. That's what they're for.

That's a (fairly common it seems) misconception, but they are not exclusively sexual. Plenty of people wear them for (nonsexual) fun, the impression I've got is that a lot of those people look down on the more overtly sexualized end of the spectrum too. People seem to be jumping to a lot of conclusions here.

And yeah, "half the pictures" was an exaggeration, my point was that I've seen plenty of far more overtly sexualized images on here get tons of positive comments.

No, it isn't a misconception. In furry that's what they're for. Costuming is secondary. This isn't some legit hobby people have, and it's not a mysterious thing from worlds away that no one can possibly know about without actually being in it either. It is, at best, a subset of a hobby with a high ratio of sex-to-notsex usage.

my point was that I've seen plenty of far more overtly sexualized images on here get tons of positive comments.

generally speaking it's not a guy in a suit on all fours pretending to be a pony for sexual gratification. More than that, it's just not realistic to expect a person to make their feelings known on every single thing they disagree with. I don't have the time and it feels like shit posting. I'm sure there's plenty of others who are in the same boat.

If they haven't already left for somewhere that they just don't have to deal with this bullshit at all, anyway.

Well, I find it a little hard to believe that they are so exclusively sexual when the vast majority of the people I've heard from have said otherwise, but I certainly don't claim to be an expert on all things.

I still really don't get what the big deal is though, how others express their sexuality, or their fandom doesn't really impact my enjoyment any. All the hate and judgment just feels sort of wrong coming from a group that has so much unjustified hate and judgment being thrown at it.

It's not exclusively sexual, it's a really really large part of it. I must have been unclear: The major purpose is sexual. There is non-sexual participation, typically of those who take interest in building their own, but it is the lesser of the two.

As for hate and judgement, no, that's the thing, MLP fans haven't. Seriously! Check up on it. The literal worst thing ever said about bronies as a thing on major media was a bit from a bad show that concluded with "Weird, but harmless." And some manchildren still threw a shit fit, for somehow misrepresenting the fandom or something who cares it was dumb as fuck. There is no reason for that. There is no reason to perpetuate what is largely a myth of terrible persecution and follow furries into screaming FURSECUTION at the drop of a "weird". It's regressive, cliquish bullshit and it should not be done.

I guess you could make some argument about hateful Internet postings, but what the fuck are you reading youtube comments for? What the fuck are you reading THIS comment for? Go do something fun.

I've listened to some of the media coverage, I think the accusation of going on disability to spend more time on ponies, or the implication that we're all pedophiles cast us as a bit more than harmless.

The problem is me though I guess, nobody is here for my life story, so I'm not going to get into it, I just have issues. Sorry for whining so much, I didn't intend to start a whole big thing.

oh you're talking about one guy on an awful show at the end of a bit about the man baby. There is such a thing as "meaningless accusations" and circling wagons forever over what some random chump said offhand is dumb. You can call him dumb I guess.

eh, you haven't really been on about your life story. You're cool there. as for whining I understand, and it's not that big a deal. Just try to keep perspective, yeah? You're not gonna get fired just because you like ponies(or even furries for that matter) and nobody is going to physically assault you. It's just thought of as a little weird.

and as for starting a whole big thing, well, I like making large posts. shit, look at this. You've got no enmity from me.

"Fursuits are for sex (and only sex)" is just about the dumbest, most illogical distortion I've heard all week. In 90% of the fursuits I've seen (which is, admittedly, not a whole lot) that is impossible to even attempt, let alone enjoy, unless one is an asphyxiation/heatstroke fetishist. Then again, if you contorted your brain to such an extent that you can make a statement like that with a straight face, you probably think that every furry has every single sexual fetish under the sun, so maybe that makes sense to you.

That picture above is only "horrifying" or "creepy" to someone who already has a conditioned, mindless hate response to everything associated with "furfags" - to anyone else that is just an elaborate costume that sadly doesn't look anywhere as good as the ones of Applejack and Rainbow Dash posted earlier.

yeah I clarified. I didn't expect to be making real posts so my first couple were more in the realm of hyperbole than actual argument.

impossible to even attempt

http://ychan.ca/rl/ NSFW. obviously.

I'm quite aware of the various levels of perversion a given furry can have.

Hey thanks for using a word I never did. Well, unless you think I'm #209963, in which case I assure you I am not. and... look at that thing. That's creepy without the fuckin'-suit angle. I agree with you in general but look at that thing.

@Anon #211656: First of all, let me clarify that my previous comment was not aimed at any one single comment or person in particular, but at the entirety of the "Eww", "Horryfing", "Perverted", "Gouge my eyes out" comments.

http://ychan.ca/rl/ NSFW. obviously.


This neither disproves my statement that 90% of fursuits are not suitable for this purpose, nor does it prove the claim that fursuits are inherently meant for it. So what was the point of that link, except to shock people by cherry-picking an extreme, furry-themed, fetish porn site?

I'm quite aware of the various levels of perversion a given furry can have.


I may be overly sensitive, but that phrasing suggests to me that you think all furries are automatically perverts, varying only in the degree of their perversion. Am I inferring too much, or was that what you meant to imply?

Obviously, every group of people large enough will contain a cross-section of every fetish and sexual orientation present in the population at large, whether it's furries, bronies, Packers fans, or US Congressmen. And there will always be people who bring sex into any activity they enjoy, whether that entails drawing fucking anthros, drawing fucking ponies, having sex in a stadium restroom, or molesting congressional pages. So what makes furries so special that they somehow can be condemned as a whole, making them acceptable targets for all this hate?

Hey thanks for using a word I never did. Well, unless you think I'm #209963, in which case I assure you I am not.


As I said above, I was not talking to you, but about the pathological furry-hatedom in general, that always breaks forth in the comments when anthro art (or costumes in this case) is posted.

look at that thing. That's creepy without the fuckin'-suit angle.


Without that angle coloring one's perception, I don't think it is.

Seriously, how does one explain to an unbiased observer that a clunky, sub-par pony costume is somehow "horrifying" or "ruining MLP fandom", without resorting to stereotypes about furries?

JustTheBast. You're a good man.
I've heard people say on multiple occasions that furries should be cast out of the community in order to make it 'better'. Not only is that impossible because of the way internet works, but it would also throw the whole "love and tolerance" thing right out the window and make the fandom look worse. I am offended whenever people say this, and they usually say it without a care in the world about those that are in the chat and happen to be into anthro artwork.

I'm no fursuiter, I'm not a fan of that in the slightest but I don't care if people do it. Furry haters are dime a dozen these days and they openly and without caring about how many they offended state how much they hate them and mods never do anything about it. This is not what the MLP fandom is about if you ask me, we're better than this.

Now, I gotta admit I am a little conflicted. Of course I dont want anyone outside of the community to look at us and think we're all about this. But surely there has to be a better way to handle this than just hate hate hate. I guess people should just ignore it or something.

oh come on, muscly Flutterguy gets those comments, and so do a bunch of other stuff. You're gonna have to learn how to deal with other people being creeped out eventually.

This neither disproves my statement that 90% of fursuits are not suitable for this purpose

You stated that it is impossible. This is clearly not the case. If you want to know how much use is sexual, and clearly you don't trust my opinion, then you'll just have to get to know some furries very, very well. Or, y'know, trawl a shit-ton of furry sites for fursuiters.

I may be overly sensitive, but that phrasing suggests to me that you think all furries are automatically perverts, varying only in the degree of their perversion. Am I inferring too much, or was that what you meant to imply?

It was not meant to, but I am comfortable with it doing so with this clarification: Sex and porn are a very large part of the furry subculture. To pretend otherwise is to ignore a huge portion of FA, and an even bigger slice of the commission works pie. Pornography and et cetera are also not one of the major problems furry has.

So what makes furries so special that they somehow can be condemned as a whole, making them acceptable targets for all this hate?

I can't help but think this is blaming me for the general hate you keep mentioning.

Without that angle coloring one's perception, I don't think it is.

I disagree. That is a creepy suit.

cast out furries, love & tolerance, offended, haters, hate hate hate

Anything less than full acceptance is not intolerance and hatred and it never will be. No one should be banned for saying "ew gross" in the comments on the anime pics on the site either.

also no one actually cares. That's the biggest thing to remember. You are not some marginalized racial minority, you are not constantly unfairly maligned in the media, you are not at risk of losing your job or being beaten bloody in the street for having the gall to like a children's TV show. You do something that others think is weird. There is no reason at all to attempt to propagandize or otherwise misrepresent the fandom, it will stand or fall on its own regardless of such asinine actions and in fact they are actively detrimental because it makes it nigh impossible to have a real discussion about legitimate problems that fandom may be facing because everyone becomes so focused on saving face to the general public(that don't care) they never get genuinely discussed.

I know the relation to your post is a bit tenuous, and I apologize if it seems I'm singling you out unfairly. That is just one problem that I do not want bronies to have.

No I did not. You cut away half of my sentence, in order to take a small part of the second half out of context and make it seem as if I said that. The fact that you are now blatantly lying about it, even though everybody can simply scroll up on the very same page and see what I really said, makes me realize that I'm wasting my time with an obvious troll.

^ Fair enough, I'll direct-quote the whole sentence and use more words this time.

In 90% of the fursuits I've seen (which is, admittedly, not a whole lot) that is impossible to even attempt, let alone enjoy, unless one is an asphyxiation/heatstroke fetishist.

The suits there are not vastly different from others in size, comfort, material etc. and they are pretty much all the same in terms of basic construction(I presume you are at least a little familiar with suit construction) short of really elaborate ones with multiple layers of padding, moulding, and etc to shape and control how the suit lies and moves(and even then, I have seen some pretty elaborate ones in use in a sexual context). The suiters have to deal with walking around for hours and hours in these, posing and playing in the suits at a con.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkjTM4AfYdU these guys aren't dead or dying and I think you'll find the majority of suits are similar to them. The heavy custom work, much like heavy custom work just about everywhere else, is a small percentage of what you'll see, for a variety of reasons that I won't get deeply into because holy shit this post is big enough. Mostly it's expensive and complicated.

I enjoy watching the shitstorm over furries.

Furries crying like babies, people going back and forth spouting their "information" that must be totally legit, 'cuz "they read it on the internet".

People hate furries.

No amount of "evidence" of why they "shouldn't" is ever going to change that.

If you post your furry "artwork" on the internet, you should expect this.

Maybe people wouldn't think furries are total freaks if the internet wasn't clogged up with ten million drawings of green and purple wolves with wings and twelve over-inflated tits shitting into diapers while they swallow live rodents and manually pump helium into their bellybutton using their feet and/or inexplicably prehensile tail that can also cast magic spells that make themselves lactate gold and silver glitter glue.
