A little of topic, but....
I have a question. Some of you are members of the website and some of you seem to despise the website. So my question is... what is the website all about? I'm merely curious as I've never heard of it until now, whereas you all seem to have.

Someone who likes anthromorphic animals (basically animals that act like humans, walking on 2, and wearing clothes etc.) style. Basically if you like many Disneyfilms you already fit the description.

It's a website for art. anthromorphic art. Also known as "furry" art.
It's like Deviant Art, specifically for one artstyle (furry).

Dallen · 08/02/2010, 10:07 am

The website is a place to share anthropomorphic art. Its related to what is called the furry fandom, which is a community of individuals interested in anthropomorphics. Some people within the community like to create their own anthropomorphic characters as an extension of themselves for fun. Drawing themselves as if they were an anthropomorphic cartoon character.

You know that that word is generally not used for this description, right?

Hassat Hunter · 08/02/2010, 10:23 am

True.
But that doesn't make the description wrong. That is what furry is.

Falanca · 08/02/2010, 10:31 am

I prefer "my" generalization since yours simply gathers all cartoon addicts, and there isn't much of a "dramatic" difference between the people out of the generalization and inside the generalization. It also makes me wonder what to call "those" ones.

I prefer myself as a cartoon addict more than a furry tbh. That name is infamous.

Hassat Hunter · 08/02/2010, 10:33 am

Oh,

And every christian is a pedophile.
Every islamitic person is a terrorist.
Gays are evil and sick.

To name just 3 similar stereotypes. Do you agree with all 3 too, now?

Falanca · 08/02/2010, 10:46 am

Christian has a meaning. Pedophile has another. Muslim has a meaning. Terrorist has another. Gay has a meaning. Faggot has another. They're claimed to be stereotypes (I don't agree with none) because either some people pointed out or rumored the relationships between each two words.

I'm just saying that if we call every anthropomorphic fictional character lover a furry, what should we call those who want to fuck bears? Those people are called furries by most of people already, and the furries theirselves -in your definition- have nothing against calling only those ones furries. Furry is not a religion, not a race or a sexual decision people have to make, so it's not that important, it just includes a MAJORITY of humanity, even so that watching cartoons and seeing and liking anthropomorphic characters can be considered a social NORM, and that simply means there is not even a need to give a name to that grouping. We can just call all those people cartoon lovers or something similar, and get on with it. It's NOTHING about stereotypes or anything, there is no need to be sensitive about anything.

Hassat Hunter · 08/02/2010, 10:57 am

How about "a furry who likes to fuck bears". Last I checked we didn't have special words for pedo christians, terrorist muslims or evil gays.

Or we could just make up new words, like how anime lovers like terms as "Yuri" or "Yaoi". Which, oddly enough, has far less negative view than "furry". Although, at least to me, it sounds kind of aweful (and 'more screwed up in the head') wanting to see schoolgirls make out with each other.

It's just... I'm sorry, it just sounds redundant. :/

Jen Kollic · 08/02/2010, 11:11 am

Trust a furry to think that the next step forward for the Sam & Max franchise is a game where everyone gets their cock out. Ugh. Even if they're supplying it free of charge, I'm pretty sure that the owners of the IP (isn't that still Steve Purcell?) can slap them with a C&D letter if they're doing this kind of stuff with it, I'm pretty sure Disney's done that to people who've made pornographic images of their characters. (though that doesn't seem to stop them)

Also, I totally agree with Falanca on the definition of furry issue. Liking cartoons which feature anthropomorphic animals =/= furry, otherwise everyone who's ever watched the Disney channel would be a furry. I think for me, the definition would be that if you like something that involves anthros, fine, but if you want to be an anthro/have sex with one, then you're a furry.

xbskid · 08/02/2010, 11:38 am

Okay, so the issue here is that someone created a non-commercial game starring Sam & Max, which is, I gather, perfectly legal, and they are now charging people for custom character design and inclusion in said game?

They are [supposedly] making money by charging people for creating in-game assets and including them with their game, which they are still not charging for. They seem to be profiting from the game indirectly.

Dallen · 08/02/2010, 11:40 am

People need to stop saying this is legal. This is NOT legal. They are using Sam and Max's names and likenesses without permission which is by no stretch of imagination legal.

Jen Kollic · 08/02/2010, 11:49 am

I don't think it's legal for them to make the game if it's non-commercial, The Silver Lining (unofficial King's Quest game) is totally non-commercial (and actually treats the IP with respect) and the creators have had recurring legal issues with Activision. (I think one of the conditions was that the fan game was not allowed to use the King's Quest name at all) I don't know enough about copyright law to know what the exact legal issues would be, but I'm sure that what these guys are doing is completely illegal since they're charging people to be included in the game.

Really, if they want to make a furry NSFW scrolling beat-em-up, why the hell do they even need Sam & Max for it? They could just use non-licensed characters, then there's no legal issues. (I think)

ETA: Disney has successfully sued kintergartens for painting Disney characters on the walls so yeah, using licensed characters without permission is definitely not kosher. They can't really call this fanart either, it's a game.

not all yaoi/yuri is like that. I like yaoi with cool storys involving ninjas or fighting smexy heros rather then school boys.
