Getting to the Bottom of Furry Fandom.

[The Savage]

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.

I want to point out one thing: Cody's roleplay, as announced in a very first post of mine, is not revealing himself as something else than a human - only to a few that had given ooRP acceptance. Mainly, just because updated and retconned roleplay is rolling around avoidance of persecution and willingly seclusion entrusting only a few.

OORPly, it doesn't affect the unwilling players while keeping up with personal roleplay shared with players accepting such a possibility Cody represents.

The fact that you always try to shove your furry up our faces here doesn't do any good.

To be fair, a lot of furry fandom is getting shoved into people's faces because people who RP furries usually go for the unlawful side and sometimes the other side is forced to react.

I don't really see why people decide to make actual furry characters instead of like RPing an anonymous person who wears a Wolf/Fox mask instead, which makes a lot more sense (IMO).

Are catgirls allowed?

Personally I don't find Furry RP serious and will ignore it.

PS. Furries are not part of Disco nor they will ever be.

As much as I want to keep an open mind, I simply can't make myself think that furries are completely okay to play in Discovery no matter what depraved perspective I start looking from.

They just don't belong there. I'd be okay if the furry had an extensive background and was a serious roleplayer, but most of them end up doing really silly, edgy stuff and encourage erp.

I think they should be locked away in SRP or something, but that's just my authoritarian self talking.

Furry Fandom is a 21st century product and makes as little sense to include in our RP environment as would including other game or popculture references and memes. This has passed any notion of being about variety of RP or how we deal with topics that usually are trollbait.
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.

Lycanthropy is definitely not a 21st century invention, of that I can guarantee you.

Are catgirls allowed?

I do hope so.

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.

In a nutshell, this is my view.

We still have even Klingons clinging (lol) around some hidden corner of Disco, don't we?

Right. I won't read the other eight pages on my phone, but:

Amount of threads regarding this topic is becoming ridiculous.

Server has problems with silent powertraders, bluehungry /l1, /l2 pvpers, people preying on newbies, 2milordai pirates, community is full of people who loves trolling and flaming and treating each other like a dirt, broken economy, capspam...and the list may go long and long.

And what is the most discussed and repeatedly reopened topic all around including wall of texts and trolling in flood? Furry characters, which are used by like five players (maybe even less) and are visible only because of one of them which has few alts and is quite active on forums.

Seriously guys, if you want to discuss something and write walls of text, what don´t you choose some REAL problem which the community/server has?

This. Basically.

Look, I've lived through =BSG=, Cylons, the Borg, the Ori, actual ghosts, Aztecs, Klingons, the entire cast of Star Fox when we had the Arwing, and countless other imports or breaks to Freelancer lore that I've forgotten by now. And the fur is what we take issue with? Seriously?

-Edit- I forgot Garrus and the rest of the Normandy's crew.

It's fairly childish to ostracize somebody because they happen to mention in comms that they *swish their tail*. They still offer good roleplay. If they're roleplaying, doing it well, and can create a positive interaction with you in-game, then you're just shooting yourself and this community in the foot by making them feel unwelcome.

This is the biggest non issue in discovery.

Cringe crap is solely the issue with the person cringing. Discovery is about as serious as clown shoes so put on a wig and a nose that honks and sit the eff down.
