Rho TefnutetI know a lot of furries who are handicapped, suffer mental disabilities (e.g. autism, Asperger), have different sexuality, were kicked from their homes, suffered serious trauma, are of different skin color, and so on. They became furries and joined the fandom, can express being themselves because they feel welcomed, because anyone else rejected them in the first place.So now you're trying to make me feel sorry or something? Or trying to say that those people joined furry community to be accepted? Then... why?
Rho TefnutetMeowersJust don't say you was born a furry and suffered through the major part of your life because of it.
A lot of people do not seem to realize that plenty of furries are rejects from the society. I know a lot of furries who are handicapped, suffer mental disabilities (e.g. autism, Asperger), have different sexuality, were kicked from their homes, suffered serious trauma, are of different skin color, and so on. They became furries and joined the fandom, can express being themselves because they feel welcomed, because anyone else rejected them in the first place. There is a lot of reasons why people run into this sort of escapism and simply want themselves to be that way - usually making a new chapter in their lives, often even earning serious money from it. If not for the fandom, I wouldn't even known about Elite: Dangerous thanks to lack of funds to sustain at least minimal standards of being digital.
Then that same person claimed further victimhood when it turned out that no one wanted to roleplay in the alternative reality channel.
That's because furries are usually afraid that you all will go full Games Workshop - so they didn't want to go out. They have nowhere else to go so they stay silent, away from any roleplay section, because they aren't a billionaires who can throw money and create their own "furry" version of ED. What happened just proves their perception that reaching out to "normal" society will always meet with rejection and hostility.
Rho Tefnutet... I feel you misread everything I've wrote, M. Lehman. I am not going to even bother about it then.
M4rth4Y'know, genetic and cosmetic modification is quite common in the Elite universe...
Rebecca HailAt this point, this entire discussion is low level bait.I guess any negotiations are futile. It's 'Furry' or 'Whine'. And also I think that many of them just don't care that other people may have to adjust their 'characters' to fit the rules as well.
M. LehmanI myself am astonished that this issue has persisted even with a dedicated space for non-lore-friendly roleplay.That craving for acceptance goes against words of their 'accepting society', so, again, they may have all the acceptance of the world... and it's still not the thing that they may actually need. A false hope behind a mask.
