Why are furries so rich?

[This ruined Sonic]

We know that a fur suit costs up to several hundreds dollars. We also hear about many online artists complaining about how they can only make money by drawing furry porn. So naturally, the question becomes, where does all that money come from? This is kind of like the chicken and the egg situation: which came first the money or the furry obsession. Maybe someone is funding furries. What do you guys think?

Where do I get in on this funding? I've sold my white family to the devil. Where's my cut!? Huh!?

I think I explained this before. But I will do it again. When you live in your parents basement and they don't even charge you rent your SSDI autism bux can go a long way. The most they might get is like $450 a month. Maybe a little more depending on how good they can play act crazy or pretend to be disabled. They can get disability for such things as social anxiety and agoraphobia. Though this might not get them much. Usually people doing the SSDI scam like to pile on the issues. I think someone tells them to do this. Say you have social anxiety and PTSD from getting sexually abused as a child then say you have something like fibromyalgia. Even type 2 Diabetes is counted as a disability I believe. So, if they are a particularly fat furry freak and their diet and lifestyle has been shit like pounding down soda Cheetos and staying up late at night playing video games or shit posting then they will probably have pretty bad health.

Another possibility is they work. Like I said before, when you live with your parents and they kind of support your other needs your little bit of money can go pretty far. This includes minimum wage paychecks. That $250-$300 a week they might make working some shitty McJob might not seem like much to a person who has to support themselves but to a basement dweller type that's a lot of fucking money. They could buy all kinds of nerd crap with that. Yes, even stupid looking animal costumes. Even better they don't have to support themselves so they can save up money and buy really expensive shit. Something a working person might have to wait till income tax time to buy. If they want a really expensive animal costume for their freaky furry faggot shit they can get that in a few weeks.

They can also work and collect disability. You just have to look into how much you can make while still staying on disability. It also depends on what disabilities you claim you have. Another way of doing this is working under the table. Meaning working off the books. They can also run an eBay business or sell shit online using whatever website they want. There are plenty of ways you can get away with being a weirdo loser and not having a high paying profession.

Even if they don't live with their parents, they can still do the roommate communal living thing. Though this will make things harder financially. It might take them a little longer to get that $1,000 animal costume.

I don't believe for a second that these people can manage to hold down a decent job without letting the freak out of the cage at work and getting shit canned. A furry must spend a lot of time in trouble at work. Usually, people with these levels of mental illness and personality problems they can't keep that shit hidden long. It starts to ooze out through the cracks. A puddle of cum or piss here and a pile of shit there. They will have some kind of behavior issue that will get them busted. Saying and doing weird shit making other employees feel uncomfortable. God help them if they do something to make a woman or shit skin feel uncomfortable. They might as well just walk off the job site. There is also a lack of good paying jobs out there. These people can only survive in the kind of jobs that have high turnover rates where people pretty much come and go all the time. They don't stick around long. If they get caught doing weird shit like farting in peoples lunch bags in the breakroom fridge or standing outside the bathrooms being creepy they can just go get another job.

Being autistic enough to know how to budget properly so you can fund your weird fetish hobby.
Netflix and other goytube subscriptions what's that? Hey bud I saved up a few G's can you make me this anthropomorphic headdress?

Wow, I really did not need to see Sonic covered in cum when I clicked on this thread, thanks though.

Actually, this is supposed to be rain. My profile pic is a cover of 220 issue of Archie Soni comic. Artists just did a terrible job (or maybe they knew what they were doing who knows).

well they're sure as shit single so they're not burning cash on valentines, anniversaries, birthdays,christmas.

 

[Tragi-Chan]

They work in tech. Also they don’t spend a lot of money on going out, healthy food, clothes, soap etc.

Owe. I'm personally attacked.

Although healthy food is actually the best way to save money now. Normal food I should say, "healthy" food is still shit expensive because it's a scam that's getting a lot of money.

I worked in the food industry for awhile, I could tell you the bullshit that gets to be up charged for slapping an "organic" label on it.

But yes, I imagine a lot of furries are working jobs making between 50-100k, most are in their 30s or older, they've been in the workforce awhile, and more are getting the chance to go out to cons. They may be married or living with a partner. The majority still do not have suits though, as a single weekend can cost a couple thousand and if you want a GOOD suit, you're gonna be spending a lot more than 1k. As with any community, there are those who are very well off or absolutely shit with their money. Like when you see two people wearing brand name clothes with a 5k watch, and you think both must be rich. And in truth, one of those is just living well outside of their means, but still demand the best.

I don't believe for a second that these people can manage to hold down a decent job without letting the freak out of the cage at work and getting shit canned.

Not everyone is pamperchu or graem kelly or whoever else you're thinking of. My best friend of almost 20 years couldn't even say I was a furry until I told them recently. And his wife, who is partially responsible for getting me into Internet drama and my eventual joining of this site, also had no idea. I lived with them for 3 years at one point in time.

My tired self thought it was a picture of a crumpled photo or something. Now that I see it, yeah whoever drew that rain is pretty sus.

50-100k goes a long way if it's just you, you have no intention of having a child, and are living in a dumpy apartment eating ricearoni and you only have one hobby which is just cooming in a dog suit. A lot of people don't realize furries are bad with money and blow all but the bare minimum they need to live on dildos and harnesses and what have you so it gives the impression they're "rich" the same way an alcoholic with a giant bar full of booze looks "rich".

 

[OutInTheRain]

When your personal life is wrapped around your fetish. To the detriment of having a personal life, I would assume you can live on the cheap, thereby freeing up money for disgusting art of your OC.

 

[Rozzy]

You won't get much of a fursuit for that kinda money, it'll maybe just about cover a deposit.

Sure.....rain....whatever you say boss.

Honest answer is just that most are single and without kids and see furry as a hobby to chuck money at, everyone has something....video games, art, clothes, nice furniture......

I mean, if I had back half the money I spent on cars, gambling and drinking, I could buy everyone in this thread a fursuit......but I chose to spend that money on more important things like a normal person.

 

[WolfeTone]

It's an art thing. You have to be well-off to get into spending money on art.

I don't mean this as an insult, but I'm increasingly convinced you've never worked one of these good jobs or you'd know how damn easy it is to hold one down. If you're actually competent at your job you're already better than at lot of your coworkers in a big company.

I'd go so far as to argue it's easier to keep a big corporate job than any other type of job, the true trick is actually getting in.

Show up, do your assigned work, make small talk, don't talk about personal matters. That's how you become a company lifer.

God help them if they do something to make a woman or shit skin feel uncomfortable.

Unless you call someone a nigger, or start hitting on your coworkers you aren't gonna have any issues.

The fursuit makers want more of a deposit on a suit than car dealers have ever asked me to put on a car lmao. It's crazy.

It's probably because they are your friends and didn't want to offend you or they are used to your weird behaviors. But I suspect it's because they are weirdos as well. Bird of a feather flock together.

50-100k goes a long way if it's just you, you have no intention of having a child, and are living in a dumpy apartment eating ricearoni and you only have one hobby which is just cooming in a dog suit.

Not so much these days. A one bedroom apartment is nearly $1,000 a month for rent. A one bedroom apartment. Average rent in the US is $1,850 a month now. They can't live on 50-100k long. Maybe a while but not that long. Then you have all the other expenses. If they are eating cheap garbage they are going to get health problems very soon as well. Especially depending on their age. The hypertension and diabetes won't be far off. That's going to eat through that money fast. Like fat kid with a piece of cake.

It's an art thing. You have to be well-off to get into spending money on art.

Not really. Also, I wouldn't call furry shit art. A minimum wage paycheck can go a long way when you don't have any other expenses.

I don't mean this as an insult, but I'm increasingly convinced you've never worked one of these good jobs or you'd know how damn easy it is to hold one down. If you're actually competent at your job you're already better than at lot of your coworkers in a big company.

No, I never had a really good job. Being part of the excess population sucks. But at least I'm not a furry.

It's not about competency. You can be good at your job and still be fired for being a weirdo. They aren't going to let some weirdo furry freak run the rest of their employees off. I have seen people fired for all kinds of reasons. Even poor hygiene. They will fire you in certain jobs for not being friendly enough. Don't walk around all day that that psycho SSRI smile on your face? You can go look for another job. It's all about the mental stability and behavior of your average furry weirdo. Like I said, I doubt many of these people can hold it together long enough to keep a job. No matter what it pays. Which is why I said they spend their time bouncing from one low paying McJob to another. The kind of jobs that don't require any experience too much skill and so on. The kind of jobs with high turnover rates so they are always looking for new employees. They don't care who you are. Just come in and work till you get sick of the BS and move or you get fired for being a creepy weirdo. Then you can just go down the street and get the next job.

My buddy is an asshole and would very quickly make fun of me every chance he got if he knew. That's how we're similar lmao. Honestly, I feel like you're projecting.

Really grasping and trying to make up scenarios to benefit what you're saying. It's not a good look. You're the weirdo, aren't you? What are you hiding? You can tell us.

Also, if you're constantly bouncing job to job and having to move to get jobs, you're not making money to spend on furry content for your OC. You even bring up the price of rent, which seems like you're counter arguing your own post by arguing furries have the characteristics of drug addicts.

A functioning addict maybe, but functioning addicts appear normal and don't have issues holding jobs. Or else they wouldn't be functioning.

And the idea of the entire community being so handicapped they are receiving funding from the government which is giving enough to fuel the fandom is so asinine, this is the most I'll even address it.
