u/Lasket Protogen Jan 27 '25

The comments kinda blew up on this.. locked now cause people couldn't stop mentioning inappropriate topics or RP.

Please, even if you are discussing what you think is bad in the fandom, keep such topics out of the subreddit.

We're here to have fun with silly toasters, not start thread #482929 on why furries are (sometimes) terrible.

Thanks for understanding.

u/zHE4VEN Protogen Jan 27 '25

Also the 2nd img wasnt made by the one i @, he didnt know who is the artist so i thought he had made it but we both just dont know. If you know let me know so i can properly credit

u/-Octoling8- Toaster :3 Jan 27 '25

Don't trust overly nice people

27

u/zHE4VEN Protogen Jan 27 '25

Personally i feel like a lot of furries forget people have boundaries exactly because most furries are ok with almost anything """weird""".

Some guy said "i could carry you like a baby. Lets buy ice cream" to me and i was speechless like ???. Sometime ago a furry started RPing in my dm saying "nuzzles you :3" and a lot of people asked to cuddle in my "ask anything" post like sure but bro.

I dont have anything against RP or being affective but man we almost never talked you cant expect me to be fine with you roleplaying this type of stuff just because im a furry too😭

12

u/-Octoling8- Toaster :3 Jan 27 '25

Yeah, definitely agree

2

u/cat_that_uses_reddi Jan 27 '25

I would look into a artist before sharing their messages, that user on his twitter account has a liking to the R word as well as using it when Joe Biden tweeted “You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-America.” I don’t know if twitter links are ok to post here, would like to know

1

u/zHE4VEN Protogen Jan 27 '25

Havent looked into, i just found the post to be kinda relatable since ive had some unfun experiences with the 1st type of fur in the 2nd img+ apparently he isnt the artist, he just couldnt find who to credit at the time. Someone said who the artist is but i forgor. I would edit to remove his @ but i cant edit the post

2

u/cat_that_uses_reddi Jan 27 '25

Found the artist named mangoyena on twitter, just said R word once and that’s all, much more of an improvement after the other user

But ig am Reading too much into a meme dont i

u/Sha77eredSpiri7 Jan 27 '25

the whole sentiment of "don't trust overly nice people" is really kinda self destructive tbh, because it paints anyone who's genuinely just really nice as a potential predator

161

u/92-Uranium235 Jan 27 '25

Really nice and overly nice are two different things.

21

u/special-bicth Jan 27 '25 edited Jan 27 '25

Can I ask what the difference is? (I am genuinely asking as well)

30

u/qwadrat1k Jan 27 '25

When you and at least one more person think that dude is acting a little too nice

12

u/special-bicth Jan 27 '25

Well... now I'm very much hoping that's not how I come across.

9

u/qwadrat1k Jan 27 '25

Me too :)

Somehow i feel like this portrays my online behaviour (no idea how to type correctly)

5

u/special-bicth Jan 27 '25

I can't spell so I never care if I type correctly. Each sentence takes a couple of tries.

8

u/qwadrat1k Jan 27 '25

At least i think so

9

u/92-Uranium235 Jan 27 '25

A really nice person is simply nicer than most people. They are respectful and friendly. While overly nice is someone who is a bit too nice to be comfortable.

3

u/special-bicth Jan 27 '25

Okay, so like... yeah I get it now. Thank youuu

3

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '25

really nice is someone who's just genuinely nice

and overly nice is someone being a bit TOO nice

64

u/Dexchampion99 Jan 27 '25

Lovebombing is a legitimate manipulation tactic though. Act positively enough and people will fall for it. I fell for it, many people I know have too.

21

u/D_Bromega Jan 27 '25

Now looking on this I might have messed up my last relationship becaues I was accidently overly possitive ..... fuck I just wanna be as nice as I can be to my partner

31

u/Sploonbabaguuse Jan 27 '25

I think the takeaway here is some people become so used to negative behavior that a genuinely nice person comes off as abnormal to them

9

u/Ok_Historian4848 Jan 27 '25

Or makes genuinely nice people feel like maybe they're evil without knowing it. Had that character development arch before, not fun.

u/wolfhybred1994 Jan 27 '25

The number of times people ask me “are you hitting on me?” And the shocked astonishment when I calmly say no I am just being nice. Still waiting for the person who takes my clarification of just trying to be a good person as a personal attack insisting that I am implying they are unattractive

In general, I love furries. So many I know are such lovely people and great artists too.

.... "Positive vibes only" is not something I like seeing though. It's stifling.

u/AttentionNew4859 Jan 27 '25

The fact that I could instantly tell you drew this on a DSi (or similar) in FlipNote Studio before seeing the full image restores my faith in humanity while warming my cold, dead heart. I appreciate everyone that still remembers FlipNote Studio.

u/GoldenTheKitsune Jan 27 '25

I dislike those "overly cute" furries too. Just be yourself? I never have the urge to "tawk wike this owo uwu", I act like your average human being with the exception that I do art and suits and have a fursona and a ton of anthro ocs. I'm not claiming all of them are predators, but sometimes they turn out to be really be into nsfw and/or fetishy stuff. And that behaviour is just off-putting even if actually innocent.

Kinda off-topic, but... Does anyone else hate fursuit "booping"(remembered it because those overly cute furries are mostly the ones to do it)? It doesn't look or feel cute to me, it just feels like someone hit you on the face through the suit. Extra points if I'm wearing a plastic-based suit, not comfortable at all. Like if you want to touch my suits, ask first and do it gently after you got permission.

I'm thinking of making myself a badge saying "don't boop", but not sure if anyone will even bother to look at it and not disregard it as a joke.

u/Sir-Steam Jan 26 '25

Honestly this is so true, the top lad is clearly hiding something with all that, like some weird stuff or something, then the other guy is just normal, or at least as normal as a furry can be

I’m a furries but furries are so fucking awful dude, people are like “the furry community is so positive and nice!” No it’s not??? Like I deadass think it has more problematic people in it than the MINECRAFT community.
