The ROC- now that is a name I haven't heard in a very, very long time.
That is how I discovered the furry fandom and the overall broadness of the uh. Interest in anthropomorphics, from sites like Yerf to VCL, FanArchive, FN, etc. I've always found that furries/anthros were an interesting subject to draw and design worlds around, but the wider spectrum of the fandom is a bizarrely interesting and often an embarrassing thing to observe. I think a lot of us who post in Animal Control are either furries, people who have some kind of loose association to the fandom, either through art, writing, etc, or those who enjoy watching the ever growing fuckstorm that the fandom has become.

I don’t think I can add much to this ‘what are furries’ thread but, I will say that to be a furry you have to be broken in a very severe, very bad way inside. Even the ones who can ‘pass’, the ones who might have what appears to be a good life and a good job and who aren’t uggos have that broken inside.

I forget who said this but, it’s like they are people who are too nostalgic for their childhood. It’s like that ‘inner child ‘ got flipped with their adult self and now that immature, wants to do nothing but have fun, everything has to be NOW self is driving the bus. With all the thirty-something adult furries I’ve met, if I assumed they either lived at home with the parents or in a frat-house or dorm room type situation with roommates, I’ve never been wrong. Fits with the $17,000 fursuit shitshow above; they’re eternal big kids. They have to ask daddy if thats a lot of money and then whine about how that all the cool kids have one.
 
I remember seeing a tweet by a furry artist that said "even if you're cis, put your pronouns in your twitter profile or you don't support LGBT". Yeah no, I'm not listing my gender/pronouns in my twitter profile.

I automatically mute anyone on Twitter who has pronouns in their profile. It has increased the usability of Twitter for me by a zillion percent.

The furries I tend to have the most respect for are the ones who can distance themselves from the fandom and actually make a product worth consuming by people who are specifically outside the fandom, and those tend to be few.

You don't see them often because most furries are too busy focused on drawing porn and milking other furries to the last cent, especially since furries are notorious for having zero standards and will blow through mom's money.

This could honestly describe far more than just furries IMO, including the people who blow thousands of dollars on Nintendo games on eBay or those nerds with a comic book graphic tee and a whole wall of figurines they bought online for high prices that they'll never get their money back on. Hell, this could even describe Chris Chan's money spending habits, he built up debt to buy Legos and numerous video games.

They want to live their lives like rich spoiled kids, spending their money acquiring everything they wish they had as a kid but that mommy couldn't buy them. This also tends to hit poor furries hard since they will spend money they would have used to pay the bills or put aside for disasters like car breakdowns or medical visits on commissions.

There's more to life than turning a profit and hoarding money, and I'm not going to begrudge anyone who spends their money on frivolous things... if they're not begging for cash on the side to support that habit like a leech. If it's their money, they can spend it on whatever. Obviously, they should spend reasonably, but I'm not going to be upset about someone blowing all their money on garbage. There are worse things to do in the world than buying shit.

What's so disturbing about buying a used fursuit in particular is the niggling question: why are you buying something someone has probably jizzed in to WEAR?

Naw, you're spot on. Furries might be the most notorious for spending money that could've gone towards more sensible or practical things (i.e. paying debt, building up a retirement fund, saving up to buy even a basic mobile home, etc), but they are certainly not the only subgroup who do that. I mean, just look at some of the Star Wars merchandise: there's a life-size statue of Han in Carbonite that's about $7.8k, and a life-size Darth Vader that's $8.9k. Some people will throw down money on those -not even doing the payment plans, either- like it's getting a candy bar at the gas station on a Tuesday.

The difference is that the Star Wars fans, at least the ones who buy that life-size shit, often have six-figure salary jobs (or are employed in jobs that pay stupidly well) and have disposable income coming out the ears (i.e. being DINKs). Furries, OTOH, are basically borderline welfare parasites that refuse to get a job, even when they are mentally and physically capable to do so, and try to espouse the virtues of communism while panhandling for money on the internet, all while secretly blowing what little money they have on art commissions and/or fur suits.

Like, hey, it's their money. They're adults, they can spend it on whatever the hell they want. But they shouldn't go bawwing to their hugboxes when people take them to task when said spending habits are revealed amidst another e-panhandling.
 
Disagree, it appears a remarkable amount of furries have well-paid jobs in tech, due to their immense autism. And it's probably for the best they waste their money like that.
 
considering how many furries are single gay people without kids, they have all that spare cash they'd otherwise be spending on a partner or on a kid

fursuits are cheaper than children

Or they're like Hulex, bouncing from entry level IT janitor job to entry level IT janitor job, likely from some place like Robert Half that's notorious for giving people shitty jobs. I've seen too many furries who walk call center jobs.

That was the stereotype in the mid to late 90's, and possibly even a little bit into the 00's, but I really don't think that's the case anymore. There are still a noticeable number of furries who make a living working in IT but it's not as big of a demographic as you might think it is these days.

A shit job is better than no job. NEET furries are the worst of the worst, by far.

Why work a pizza delivery job to earn cash to survive when you can gamble years of your life by living with your parents and making a Youtube channel or mining fledgling cryptocurrency on aging hardware in a half-assed attempt to get rich quick?
 
Being frugal is a concept that a good amount of furries don't understand, working minimum wage at a tech support center job? Buy a Nintendo Switch, hell, blow a good chunk of your money on weed or on hot new vidya gaims. Then they'll defend this by saying "I guess you like living a boring life", that's not the case, you can enjoy life in other productive ways that may have a return on investment.

:powerlevel: I'm over here rocking a cheap $30 Android and a 2011 laptop that struggles to run Windows 10 sometimes, yea I may spend my shit on stronger hardware but I don't want to, it gets the job done. I rarely even play vidya anymore because I own such weak/outdated hardware, and I'm glad of that. :powerlevel:

Compare that to Hulex, he got an iPhone (could be a hand-me-down 5s or a newer model but w/e), but he despise thinking about owning a Android phone. Look at that gaming laptop he got from his parents on Christmas (he's still getting Christmas shit on the regular, mind you). If you have a closer look at that laptop it runs for $700 easy, using it for VRchat and other shit. He can talk like he's "poor" all he want, even if he had a high-salary job I bet he'll blow through that easily.

You can factor the high cost of living because most of these insufferable fucks live in San Fran, Seattle or other metropolitan areas but that still won't help their case, they won't do much to better their situation.

They'd have more money set aside if they moved to somewhere that costs less to live, especially if it's an IT job that can be done remotely like a lot of jobs are nowadays.
