Getting to the Bottom of Furry Fandom.

[Lennox]

Shik, let me set something straight;

1. We have no rights to deny furry roleplay here. Only Admins can if they deem it right.
2. I am trying to encourage you to look beyond the game. To look at the timeline. Maybe I have been harsh and blunt saying you are narrow-minded and short-sighted, but it looked like to me as the only way to interact with such people.
3. Yes, the Annoying Orange is a troll. The idea is to develop the story behind the furry you want to roleplay. I still don't understand why you say furries shouldn't exist. It boggles my mind everytime I read it.

That's why I said I see this community as toxic. Because it is plagued my haters, somehow. We can have different views on everything, yes, but we need to remind a border-between civil confrontation and flood. I am afraid this border has been crossed from way too much people.

1, "rights" are subjective. If you mean people can't talk about it you're sorely mistaken. Given how the majority of people here view furries, it might just be that in order to prevent more of these topics from happening just like the endless rants about how it's only part of getting attention or w/e, we might just get a new rule regarding this at some point though. Since it's been going on for -quite- some time now. You never know

2, Since the topic has been brought up so many times, I'd say it's quite hard for people to even try to look into this topic anymore. It's clearly disturbing to a point and people probably just want to get on with things like this. That said, I myself don't really see how to "look beyond the game", since it's already locked into Discovery Freelancer itself, if taken literally. And as a headsup, it's probably very very likely that alternate dimensions don't exist in Discovery except for dreams, imaginations and so on. Furries were never a part of lore and won't be in the future. Especially if people tend to be so unreasonable with their "explanations".

3, I've yet to see legitimate stories about them. I spend a lot of time trying to read through a lot of stories in the RP sections and I've not found much potent stuff you can create a backup with. So get used people commenting with a final line like that.

cheers

The state of RP ''seriousness'' in Disco is at all time low with navy personell named Trump or John Cenas flying around. Admins should get off the bench and start weeding out not only the characters but players involved if they want to attract roleplayers to our community ever again.

No one denies anything.

No one says anything, let's just lay low.

Maybe try to imagine a universe with furries living inside of it?

Well, have fun on thinking how to purge furries from Disco.
With such thoughts, I am afraid you might ruin Disco's roleplay. Period.

Now try to imagine orange... see that's simple. You can justify any nonsense like furries in the same way. 'cause you are just going for "oh, no one is perfect", "let's not judge", "look beyond", "try to imagine" and other empty words that cannot mean anything even. Because basically you have nothing to justify it, that's the main thing. And this empty words works pretty much for anything.

The thought crossed my mind that I haven't seen players roleplaying characters that are fans of furries though.

Thank you Spazzy. Couldn't have put it better myself.

@Electronic Attack Squadron 141 No one has even said or nominated LN or LSF. The idea of furries coming from genetic manipulation is a correct idea in a future-like ambientation, like Disco or vanilla FL. Also, it isn't a justification for furries to exist, it is a prejudice coming from this here toxic community of ours.

That doesn't mean those hypothetical 'genetically-modified supersoldiers' are to be made like furries literally.

The rumous say that several years ago Liberty Government approved funds for a project to create several groups of Super Soldiers using the genetic background of a magnitude of animals of Sol based origin. Although highly controvertial in its nature, the project continued forward in a facility within the Alaska system. The fate of that place - alongside with its crew and subjects - had been shrouded in mystery and erased from all the logs.

However, the Libertonian scientists were not the only ones to conclude such inhumane experiments. The undercover group, known simply as Veritas, being in possession of similiar technology and significant funds kept their own research at bay. One of them, althrought independently began, was quite similiar in its nature to the unspoken experiments concluded in the most secure reaches of Liberty.

"I'm not saying that the LN or LSF made furry supersoldiers, but they did."

Seriously, what's the rationale behind using LSF/LN for anything involving experiments, especially when the experiments don't make any sense inRP?

Come on, the story of somebody who identifies as "wolf-kin" or "fox-kin" and who got surgery to look like a wolf or fox is far more believable than "LSF/Liberty/Shady Group made me a furry supersoldier and I escaped".

"I'm not saying that the LN or LSF made furry supersoldiers, but they did."

Please do note this exact excerpt was actually during being edited out as a remain of a former connections with Bret's AB Project Family. Thank you for heads-up anyway. No further links towards Liberty, LSF experiments or fluffy Libertonian space bunnies, considered as non-canon, are present inside the infocard anymore.

(...) when the experiments don't make any sense inRP?

Low-tier experiments with human-animal hybridization are already present in real life (and are already UN concern), just pointing out.

It's an inside joke based on the first discovery member that forced the entire community to deal with his furry characters a few years ago. All of his characters were based around "secret lsf experiments that escaped alaska". That's how the discovery furry meme started.

I get that most members view it as a joke, but there's still instances of people doing it inRP. I'm asking why to them.

And it's a valid question. Whether or not it's valid is completely subjective, hence how we had a version of Starcraft's zergs, and even spider people at some point. It will usually die on its own as most of the community doesn't regard it as something valid, but it doesn't prevent some rare exceptions of people being extremely stubborn and carrying on, despite it doesn't interest anybody except themselves and the fandom they belong to.

Furries do not belong to discovery and never will, but at the same time we've always been an accepting community even with things that slightly bother us. As long as it doesn't harm anybody, let them be. If you literally can't stand encountering a furry character, you are not forced to interact with it in any way, which is what I do. Yet again, the only furries that bother me are those that desperately try to shove their fandom in my face.
