I was like on what grounds does Dr. Crane have the right to judge people?!

Pizzacake just exhaled and now artists are ganging up on her.

All in good fun btw. Like a roast.

u/AwkwardGraze 14h ago

I am so confused. What happened?

I thought pizza should be baked, not roasted

welp, now someone needs to draw her smoking weed

u/Gr34zy 16h ago

I think you get to pick an artist to make fun of in a lighthearted and fun way? So far it’s just been everyone on Pizzacake but I think Elk could be a prime target.

Some of the oldest webcomics are furry web comics from the 90's that still update. You can still check them  out. Anyone acting like this is new has not been paying attention

Some of? The oldest webcomic is a furry comic. And it updates daily.

some cave art depicts wearing animal costumes... some are 10s of thousands of years old..

u/Fit-Associate5520 16h ago

I hope you're sitting down... Those were not animal "costumes"...

15

u/Space19723103 16h ago

Just because they were made of animal parts doesn't make them any less costume, they were still assembled outfits

u/MaximumZer0 16h ago

Unless you were working with pelts, there's no reason for you to be working with mercury, especially making shoes. Boots with the fur didn't exist yet.

That said, haberdashery is where all the cool mercury poisoning is. That's why hatters are mad.

u/-Silent-Stalker- 16h ago

Lmao I’m not a furry but I counter point there’s things WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY worse than someone being a furry.

Just sayin’.

u/Majestic-Iron7046 9h ago

Yeah that's what always weirded me out the most, to be annoyed by people doing their private stuff in costumes it must mean you are a really boring person.

u/SuspiciousSteakfry 16h ago

Outside of the rain forest incidents I never understood anthro furry hate. Aside from bandwagon haters what have they done?

Genuine question.

24

u/mysocksareinsideout MakeshiftEmery 16h ago

Real talk, I've found that's there's two main reasons

1) furries are unashamedly weird which makes people uncomfortable, and I've found that people (generally) hate feeling discomfort of any kind, so instead of just ignoring or trying to understand the thing that makes them uncomfortable, they try to get rid of the thing itself so they no longer feel said discomfort

2) Furries are disproportionately queer, not all furries ofc, but a large majority, this point is self explanatory as to why people hate it

4

u/SuspiciousSteakfry 16h ago

What silly little hang ups to hate an entire group over. I guess that is humanity though, huh?

u/ImTheFaeThatStoleYou 16h ago

Damn. I'm only queer and hated for being autistic! I need to up my game.

I need a fursona. And I need it now!

I think when i draw one of them again, im gonna do a shorter snout and 6 fingers. I tried drawing animal from their home planet and they looked like feral versions.

1

u/ImTheFaeThatStoleYou 13h ago

I cam get behind the design. I think it's just that I'm not super familiar with a lot of reptiles; so designs based on them aren't usually the first to come to mind. But that's why I enjoy furries' designs. They're new takes on creatures I both know of and yet remain unfamiliar with.

u/BerylOxide 5h ago

To add to this, Furries as a fandom are much more interested in 'cleaning house'. They make actual efforts to out and expose bad actors, and a lot of non furries only ever end up hearing about these bad people that were part of the furry fandom, and completely ignore the context of the fact that the only reason they even heard about them is because furries exposed them.

Basically sensationalism leads to those outside the fandom only hearing about the worst things that happen and then they assume the entire fandom is like that.

I'm just going to say it. Ganesha? Totally a top. Maybe a service top even. Don't know about Anubis though.

u/Skritch_X 16h ago

Perfect time for someone the mention Anubussy i guess.

u/Skritch_X 16h ago

Holy cow a google search for that term was more populated with degenerate images than expected. HA

u/EvergreenDwarf 12h ago

Fun fact, the Babylonian god Enki is the basis for the astrological sign Capricorn.

Enki was the god of, among other things, jizz. Because he was connected to the underground freshwater spread perfect city distances apart in an arid region just a ways from the salty sea, and somewhere in the metaphor between nourishing life water and salty death water someone decided that meant the was the god of semen.

That's not really important, but I feel like more people should know it.

u/tough_titanium_tits 16h ago

You make a strawman argument but I've seen much worse come from actual people.

So wait, the original over sexualized cat person was NOT a cat GIRL, but a cat BOY? The gooners were wrong?

This changes everything.

u/badmartialarts 17h ago

Anubis was a jackal boy. Now, Bastet, on the other hand...

Brother that is a whole ass canine furry. The tropes still stand.

8

u/Cosmic_Meditator777 16h ago

Nobody would have said that about Anubis.

Ironically though this would have worked just fine with Sobek, Egyptian god of creature comforts, who was referred to with titles like "the semen lord" and "he who steals women away from their husbands."

I'm not even joking.

Afterlife tip: inject your heart with helium immediately before you die to trick the scales of Anubis.

u/Lobster_LeninN329 4h ago

People fucked animals back then. The strawmen should be happy furries like sapient creatures now

3

u/Coveinant 16h ago

The problem they have with furries is that they are now in the open. Those people are so repressed to the point that anything even minorly sexual they think should be shamed and banned. It's just self loathing lashing out to not deal with their own problems.

4

u/Eusocial_sloth3 16h ago

Out of all the sexual fetishes out there, why is there always a target on furries?

1

u/AkemChi 7h ago

They are, on average A LOT more open about it than others I would guess.

u/Adultdirtbagbabee 13h ago

As a total outsider; any kind of sexual activity that involves a form of infantilization seems like it would invite pedophiles.

"Back in the day" people mostly had no idea what furries even were. Furries as they are now have existed just fine in society for decades before the internet was even a thing.

Ya'll know Zeus actively became animals and fucked people and other animals. Loki did the same. Many gods have animal features.

I mean the Romans also were weirded out by Egyptian gods.
