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.

I'm confident his parents provide financial support for 80-90% of his expenses, since whenever he's unemployed (due to him being incompetent no matter what he says different) he's not out on his ass and is able to attend conventions.

His definition of poor is the champagne socialist definition of poor: He can't buy all the extraneous bullshit he wants to so we need to tax the rich 95% (and dismantle ICE)

The guy who commissions all the Starfox macro porn is a brain surgeon.

Pretty sure this was disproven. He (Togepi1125) made a statement a while back when Tumblr was losing their minds over him that he was not in fact any sort of surgeon (heart or brain included) and said he had a high paying job but did not disclose what that job was. My bet is on like, a network manager or something.

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.

Tbh, agreeing with this, a majority of furries under 28 now seem to be unemployed or have an entry level job and seem more concerned with partying, defending pup gear, and getting lit at cons than like... success.

Simply put, he's a waste of resources, that degree he got is a huge ass money sink essentially. Call me crazy but if you have a non-utilized degree; unemployed and yet have your parents cover your expenses and yet still able to play vidya and blabber nonsense on Twitter, that's a pretty damn privileged life.

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.

Hell, you can even have those extraneous items with their minimum-wage job if they planned a little. If some Pokefag wants to buy Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee they can save up money by avoiding spending it on other things for a while. Maybe they won't get one the week they come out but if you shop around a little you can find most things cheaper. I've bought ~400$ things for 50$ by finding out where to look. You don't even have to give up your hobbies, just have some goddamn patience.

Enrichment is important for the psychology of all living creatures, humans included. You don't need everything you want right now.

Impulse culture is more of a millennial problem than a furry centric one. If people would stop and wait a week before splurging on an impulse, it would give them time to realise how dumb that thing they want is.

I can't help but feel it was a bad idea to introduce his 12 year old daughter to furry Twitter. Hopefully J is keeping a close eye on these interactions.
 
I genuinely feel bad for minors and sex-disinterested people in today's fandom because there's really not many conventional avenues for enjoying anthropomorphic artwork other than the usual channels, which are laden with porn and fetish material. :(

people who don't want sex/porn either have to grin and bear it or find friends who feel similarly and just hang out with them. but idk what the appeal of furry is for them exactly. Then again, I know some people like that and they just draw their fursonas hanging out doing friend stuff and it seems way more wholesome than other shit furries do even though they aren't good artists.

The furry fandom does seem to unfairly dominate the “talking animal” fandom niche. It’s weird that it turned out this way and it’s weird that anthro animals went from being “lol kids stuff” to “lol pervert stuff”.

I think it was always a perversion, they just try to play it off as kid friendly when it never was kid friendly.

I can't argue against that point, because I don't disagree with you, but it just sorta felt like there was "more to the fandom" than just adult stuff 20-25 years ago? Yeah, there was yiff and stuff, but there were places you could hang out if you weren't interested in that. I think about the fandom these days and the major hangouts are either art websites whose content is predominately adult (or just outright perverse fetish), or large forums where the content isn't really monitored all that well.

Seems like Discord is becoming "the new IRC" for this generation and you sorta just have to be in the know if you want to connect with a group of furs and not get involved with adult content.

When I look at the fandom and it's start up, I see it as when underground comics in California became a thing because a underground comic inspired mascot character was the first face for the furry fandom.

Underground comic were a hotbed for comics that wanted to get around the comics code and major publishers as a work around, so I wouldn't doubt the first mascot was made by an underground comic artist from what I seen.

Oh absolutely, there was a HUGE underground comic scene for furry/funny animals in the late 80's and 90's. Toward the mid-90's you could actually buy anthro comics at most brick and mortar comic book stores. The selection was normally pretty limited (like Antarctic Press, Radio Comix, Image, and maybe some indies) but they were there, and their content varied from clean to "adult humor" to actual adult content.

That's one of the things I miss the most about the fandom. You didn't have to go to a con or a meetup or anything to just be social and make friends. Chances are the other person buying the latest Furrlough has a lot of the same interests as you. I can't tell you how many times I struck up friendly conversations with people in comic book stores back in the day.

Ahh, I miss those days, nowadays these kids don't appreciate comic books, all they care about is representation over good fucking writing.
