"Posting any kind of furry art gets you banned on the spot".

Chagen

I'm starting to get really tired of seeing this rule on sites.

WTF is with the internet and furries? I mean, yeah, have this kind of rule for NSFW art is fine, but instantly perma-banning someone for posting SFW Furry art is just dumb. Especially when they allow art of kemonomimi (I don't really know any good term for this in english that isn't stilted/overly long), which are basically halfway to furries anyway.

It's even more ridiculous when I see other-wise perfectly normal sites throw this rule out there. I saw a site with this rule:

"Posting CP or Furry gets you an instant permaban"

Yes, because Furry really is as horrible as CP

>kemonomimi (I don't really know any good term for this in english that isn't stilted/overly long)

Well give it a go as I don't know what that is.

^Animal ears.

Chagen

Animal-eared people, but that sounds...awkward to me. Especially in the middle of a sentence.

MillerCross

I thought it was people with minimal beastly traits (Like ears, fangs or whatever)

IanExMachina

People with animal ears works fine imo.

Ontopic:

Furry stuff is seen as disgusting and weird, so the people ban it on their sites.

You'd have to look at the reasons why it is seen in such a way to get to why it is banned in a lot of places.

When the same people allow what-ever-the-hell-else (like Guro, or Scat) on their sites, it comes off as strangely hypocritical.

IanExMachina

Then it is just their tastes dictating their rules.

Basically you just have to deal wit it and find other sites, or stay on that site and not post it.

That reminds me of how the only thing that got Gary sunk fast than furry based stuff on the Pokemon board on 4chan was scat

...I will never forget that image of Jirachi shitting out enough feces to make a new Jirachi

It bothers me too, and I really dislike furry porn.

Wicked223

Speaking of furries, I always found it sort of weird that people can express so much revulsion toward furry porn and anything else involving that fetish, and then claim that the only reason they dislike furries is because they think everyone hates them.

Peer pressure is a powerful force.

I honestly don't get why furry porn gets such a bad reputation, but rape fantasies and piss fetishes just get a few weird looks.

DYRE

Furry porn gets such a bad reputation mostly due to the connection with furry lifestylers and otherkin, rather than because of the porn itself.  At least, that's what it seems to be anyway.

^ I'm not so sure - I think people have problems with the actual porn too. I mean, it's usually a bit more than Playmate of the Month or whatever. As for why other fetishes don't get that reaction on the internet (a) in some parts of it they probably do and (b) it's the "animal" element, which (irrationally or not) crosses the line for some people. 

I don't mind those who like it setting up sites for the interested, but I wouldn't be comfortable being a member of a site with a lot of furry porn on.

 

AnneBeeche

I'm neutral to furry art so long as it's non-suggestive, but furry porn should not be posted outside porn websites simply because it's porn. As for porn websites not allowing furry porn, it's their site and their problem. I don't particularly care.

Yeah, same.

InsanityAddict

Perhaps it's because in the mind's eye, a partner is still involved in rape roleplay, body modding, watersports and scat?  And furry art seems to fall in the category of cartoon porn, thus conjuring images of the autismal ronery neckbeard fapping his days away, which hits a little too close to home for many of the sites most vocal about their distaste towards furries? At least, those seem to be the popular perceptions to me.

Schitzo

I know some pretty vocal IRL furries, just as much as I've known some IRL lolicon freaks.

Three guesses who's company I prefer, no prize for getting it right.swf

Icalasari

^ I'm guessing you prefer furries, as you called the lolicons freaks

gentlemanorcus

I remember there was a (most likely) troll article at Busy Street once that pretty much said all furries are losers with persecution complexes who are only interested in the porn. If I actually had the drive to go back all those pages, I'd link to it here.

Generally, I don't have a problem with SFW furry art, and though I don't really enjoy it, if furries want to yiff, then they can yiff. The porn can get freaky sometimes. The article I mentioned showed the front cover of an online furry porn mag that involved Little Red Riding Hood getting raped by multiple wolves. Not to mention Furaffinity has sections for things like Muscle, Hyper (I don't even know what those are), and Baby. But all kinds of porn can get freaky.

Icalasari

^ Hyper is when a character has breasts and/or a penis and testicles that are at ridiculous sizes (As in big enough to hold whole people). The variant of, "Breasts and penis and testicles" is the most common

gentlemanorcus

^ ...Um, thanks?

And I'm guessing muscle is just characters having ridiculously sized muscles or something?

Icalasari

^ That would be correct

Isn't that the picture Madass Alex got his avatar from?

Schitzo

^ I remember that. Yeesh.
