Lol... I saw this on fark and had to share it with you all. (http://www.photobasement.com/my-son-hates-being-homeschooled/)
The entry gave me a chuckle, and some of the comments are pretty funny too.
The part where he admitted he barked at the teacher in the middle of a parent-teacher conference made me crack up. All I can picture is some jackass wearing a two-piece german shephard costume to a conference and trying to be all casual about it.
"What the fuck are you looking at?"

Guy: Arf arf! Grr...
Teacher: I, um, but, he is struggling in English class--
Guy: Arrrhooo! Grr...
Teacher: He seems to frequently confuse real words with animal noises--
Guy: What are you trying to say about the way I raise my child?? I mean, bark! I'm a dog!
At what point in the (lack of)brainstorming did he make "Furry Hour" a part of the curriculum?
What is this kid's high school diploma going to look like?

But as for the post, I'm a bit saddened by the whole thing. The father probably should have left his kid in school and work to tone down the furry lifestyle when dealing with teachers.
most the comments were pretty sad as well. some people are so immature.
He barked at a teacher. There's a line between immature and sheer shock at how anyone can be so insane.
Maybe they should neuter the father. Worked to calm my cat down.

Exactly, the concept has been used extensivly in many world mythos, both major and local to certain folk areas/ families to explain aspects of nature, certain events man just couldn't understand.
A rockslide today is nothing to be afraid of, we know how they commonly happen and fequently take steps to avert them. But imagine ancient man, without science, only cold hard logic and reason. Knowing there are many creatures in the world, many of which can and will attack him, he feels and earthquake, and then sees a rockslide. Well, surely it must be a creature of some sort, awakened from it's slumber.
Thus, the golem was born, one of the earliest forms of Anthromorph.
My explaination is by no means completly accurate, but it serves well enough for an explaination and demonstration.

I think you're in the ballpark here, but your example falls more under personification if you're referring to giving human qualities to something that doesn't possess them in the first place both in nature and in things that are inanimate. Such as; 'the sun glared down heavily upon us all, threatening to rob our bodies of the precious water we need to survive while we muck about this desert.'
But hey, this isn't about humanizing the natural state of things or giving qualities to inanimate objects in order to objectify and personalize them. This is about a fetish that demands those who follow it to perceive themselves as animals during sex and fully believe that they, themselves, have either always had or have gained these qualities in some sort of sick, surrealistic way.
I once told a friend that if I ever majored in psychology and had to do a thesis paper, one of my choices would be about 'furries' and whether or not the state of erotic fixation of oneself and others as animals is a form of denial or a mutated state of beastiality. Who knows.

I think you should also study the cultural deviations and forms of it as well. Apparently, Furrie Sex Fetish is an American thing. :|
Apologies for the pre-empt posting, but I'd hate to be ninj4'd in a thread like this.
In Asia, Anthropomorphism was born from trying to understand the nature of, well, Nature. Although you could argue that the earliest forms are Personifications of abstract concepts (Such as the Japanese Izanami as the personification of Birth and Death), anthropomorphism is used to give non-human objects a concrete psychological form.
Most of the Japanese anthropomorphism can be seen in the different Yokai (phantoms) forms, such as the Umbrella Ghost Karakasa, the fox demon Kitsune or Youko (Commonly known as Kyuubi no Youko - Nine-tail Fox Demon). Because, like Valanthe stated, humans are inherently afraid of what they don't know. By giving them human qualities, the ancient people could predict - to a certain degree - how their own actions or inactions can cause these creatures to react. Anything that a human would be offended by would be linked to what these Yokai would despise and such an action would be considered taboo. That is how beliefs, coupled with Anthropomorphism, helps to preserve the natural status quo.
*Takes off nerdy glasses*
That was the beginning of Anthropomorphism.
Furrie Sex Fetish, in my belief, occured only recently and should not be held as the same as historical and cultural Anthropomorphism. It's still interesting why people find Anthromorphs so sexually attractive...

Furry sex isn't just American, Raven. How much hentai has catgirls? Or tentacle monsters? I lump tentacle monsters in with furries. Just because they're smooth and covered with slime doesn't mean that they should be left out too.
Also, Saxon's favorite comment is mine too. Now I'm angry that furries killed Raptor Jesus. That must be what's wrong with my computer.

More productive comment: I find the parallel between the furry "lifestyle" and a repressive cult religion interesting. It works pretty well because both disgust me, both are unsatisfied with the world as it is despite its fantastic complexity, and both are delusional.
Furries, why aren't you happy with humanity? If you really were an animal, in most cases, you would already have been dead, having lived a life that was nasty, brutish, and short. I find it hilarious that you disdain the ascendant species that you are part of when it is only because of this boon that you can contemplate alternatives.
Roleplaying some kind of anthropomorph is one thing. Escapism is what it is. When you cross the line and call it a lifestyle and make it a serious business part of your world... what the hell? If I started scrawling blood runes on my floor and performing imaginary warlock pacts, I think there would be a problem. Why is it that when furries get too absorbed into their fantasy RP it's something that other people should respect?
Here's another question: (All presuming it's not just a hillarious troll making the story up) Furry Hour, right? How many days do you think anyone could really continue to present original information about furries for an hour? The first day would be easy... maybe even the first week, but how long was this kid homeschooled?

I'd say that the furry movement would be relatively new. Back in the day, people would just sex up the sheep, or whatever they had handy. Apparently its far less taboo to tickle the fancy of a person dressed as an animal than an actual animal. Figures.
Visla Eraclaire
08-12-08, 10:47 AM
I'm going to go with the "furries have always been around" theory, but like most things, the internet has made the whole idea bigger, more popular, and ultimately spread a horrible cancer across society.
Back in the day, someone would get some weird idea that they liked animals a bit more than most and continue to live a socially productive life with that strange childhood fantasy never going anywhere. Hell, most of us probably pretended to be animals when we were little. We pretended to be all kinds of shit.
But now, the internet teaches you that any bullshit that you like is a "lifestyle" and that there's a whole "community" JUST LIKE YOU and that you should be accepted and tollerated by everyone. Don't grow up and act like an adult. Don't accept responsibility for your actions or your strange proclivities. You're both totally unique and part of an awesome community of likeminded jackasses.
Fortunately the internet also teaches you that we hate you and that you should crawl back into a hole.

Before I go drawing conclusions, do you have something against furries as a whole, or the ones that go around screaming their heads off about wanting acceptance like any other community that isn't treated fairly by society?
Visla Eraclaire
08-12-08, 11:44 AM
Whatever people do privately, in their own homes, without telling me about it will never bother me. Most obviously, because I won't know about it. Beyond that, if someone lived what I consider to be a good life and they told me one day "Oh, I'm a furry," I would be skeptical and give them a second look, but ultimately would probably not have a problem with it. Of course, that's never happened, so I guess I can't know how I'd feel for certain. I've found something worthy of disdain with every furry I've ever dealt with.
Once anyone decides to make something a matter of public discourse, I feel justified in judging it, and quite possibly coming to a negative conclusion.

Unfortunately, I can't allow you to do that any further in this thread when you point your insults at our members. This thread was cute for awhile, but once you start responding to people on Althanas in such a negative way, I have to step in.
Please stop.

I was surprised no one stepped in earlier. The whole thread is furry bashing. I'm not sure how I distinguished myself, but I'll take it as a compliment.
You might want to consider the consistency of your standards, though. I'm not sure this thread leads to anything but furries BAWWWWing about fursection or those who dislike them expressing that distaste.
True. But no one from Althanas was specifically pointed out beforehand.
I'd been tempted to close the thread, but I believe even anthropomorphic sympathizers (I suppose that's the PR term) can find the sheer absurdity of the original topic to be a source of amusement, and that maybe a discussion on how furries raising children can be difficult could arise.
Visla Eraclaire
08-12-08, 04:11 PM
Well then, on that topic, it doesn't seem any more difficult than raising your children in any other belief system. I don't think it's particularly more ridiculous than many religious views. The only real disadvantage is it doesn't promise rewards or threaten punishment in the great beyond.
You can raise kids to believe just about anything. All the same, that's not a good reason that you should. If you have to teach them something, teach them what you believe, but once they're old enough to choose otherwise, it's time to compete in the marketplace of ideas with all the other ideologies.

I'm no fan of Furry Hour or a Furrie lifestyle, but I am one who thinks that humans aren't all that great. Yes, you could say I disdain Humanity (having lost all faith in humans being "ascended" above all other creation) but I know I have to live with them. Preferably, I'd rather be implanted into a cyberbrain connected to "a series of electrical tubes" and watch everything pass by my digital eyes. Or live my days as a short-lived alley cat caught in the dark corners of NYC. Then again, that's just my pessimist side. *Shrugs*
However...
Why is it that when furries get too absorbed into their fantasy RP it's something that other people should respect?
I agree with you entirely. Knowing the line between fantasy and the real world is the single most important factor in any lifestyle a person should have. Not just furries, but everyone.

08-12-08, 11:52 PM
It's certainly an interesting distinction to make. It seems that this anthropawhatever claims to be something other than Zoophilia. The fetish for getting it on with Ma Nature is far older than the internet. Zeus even got it on with the ladies by assuming animal forms himself (swan for Leda, bull for Minos' wife, etc). How some people shifted from wanting to do the horizontal mambo with animals into wanting to become an animal to do the aforementioned dancing is the thing that seems to have us stumped, and I doubt that anyone bothered to record the first instance of such a fetish.
Being furry used to mean something completely different.
Artifex Felicis
08-13-08, 10:26 PM
Actually, Minos' wife wasn't impregnated by Zues. She got Daedalus to build a wooden female bull, so she could climb inside and so the MALE bull would "have his way."
There were no gods there I believe.
Also, there' curiously a lot of this sort of thing in many cultures. Japanese had kitsune, for one major example, tanuki had huge testicles, among others. Shamans controlling animals is one, though I'm not too sure exactly where that is from and I may have just made it up.
Course, there's a lot more worse things out there, and there's a reason why Rule 34 is around.
Human beings can be a weird group, eh?
As part of the original disucssion, I'm curious as to why anyone would do "Furry hour." Especially considering that it's mostly a waste of time to do it more then once or twice. I mean, there's a lot of time spent of Martin Luther King Jr. but I have more then a little disdain for any who try to put those two things on the same level of importance.
course, I believe school's more important then just the edumacation, so eh.
I was more interested in the psychological impact of such a fetish and Advent's suggestion of cultural deviation than the entire history of sheep-fuckers. This generation it's all about fucking somebody in a suit of fur for losers on the bottom of the social pecking order. What next? I don't know what the next sexual-outcast-fetish will be, but I sure as Hell know it's going to be very hard to top some loser dressed up as Starfox slamming it to some dumb bastard.
Also, I'd like to reiterate about that cartoon that I didn't even know about that CSI shit until like a week ago. I remember the good old days when sexual asphyxiation was the new sad fad for teen suicide on cop dramas. Now this. *shakes head*

What people do (with Consent and both parties being of legal age) behind closed doors is their business. if it's having sex while wearing animal costumes then whatever. When in hell did how one had sex became a yardstick of how well one lives their life.

The problem I have with furries isn't that they are furries. It's that they seem to think that because they are open about what is most certainly a fetish, everybody has to accept it. However, I do not limit my distaste in this matter to just that specific person. If you are a homosexual who seems to feel that way, or a necrophiliac or whatever the fuck, then you better get used to the idea of people disagreeing with or being disgusted by your lifestyle.
In the end I don't really hate them anyway. Why bother? Some people like it up the ass. Some people like it up the ass AS A CAT. Big deal.

Better than what? The majority of users here aren't just spouting blind hatred for others. People are expressing their opinions and giving reasons for them. Just because it entails a dislike of a certain social group doesn't mean we shouldn't allow it.
Personally, I don't think there's much wrong with the lifestyle. I'll grant that it's unusual, but the usual isn't much of a guarantee for a happy life. However, those who are indignant for not being openly accepted by all facets of society display a level of ignorance bordering on the comical. People are still persecuted for their skin tone, for goodness' sake. Also, teaching this obscure lifestyle as part of a daily curriculum is tantamount to brainwashing if you ask me and should be met with resistance.

Honestly if you can't follow the Golden Rule then have fun with you fucking hate speech.
The Golden Rule is slave morality. Turn the other cheek, don't criticize, and you'll end up overrun by those with the will to do otherwise. Live and learn, Arcana. The internet is a mean place. I think it's a shame that you're leaving instead of just standing up for yourself.
Whether people are called names or not is a small distinction. I'm sure people call me a bitch behind my back all the time. A fair number do so to my face as well. But that's who I am, and I'm happy with it.
You should be happy too.

And in all honesty, Arcanafang, I understand where you're coming from. Nobody likes to see something they enjoy or practice being talked about in a negative light, especially on a public forum. You have to realize though, that Godhand is a jerk to EVERYBODY, not just you.

Godhand and I are having a bit of an argument as to whether Arcana is more angry at me or him. All the same, Thursday is right, we're both trolls.
I know Godhand actively wants to get rid of you, but I prefer to milk lolcows rather than slaughter them. He seems satisfied with yelling profanity, and I want an argument...
To put this in the sexual fetish paradigm. Godhand is a necrophiliac, who could fuck a corpse and still be satisfied. Meanwhile, I enjoy the full interactivity experience of domination and would like an active participant.
Analogies are great.

Don't start putting on airs with me, sweetheart. I think you'll find my track record in running off faggots is quite excellent.

He's right, it's one hell of a long list.

Well, I lost track of this thread. Not surprised though. I lost it somewhere along the line of discussing tentacle rape as "the shit" and the occam's razor to the Golden Rule.
Well, I think this is slowly getting away from a discussion of furries and more into personal attacks. With the exception of reliable Godhand, fairly well worded, well(?)-intentioned and polite attacks, but attacks nonetheless.
Ah well.
Furries are weird. There's a lot of weird crap. There are worse things and better things, stranger fetishes and more normal fetishes. It all really doesn't matter in the long run anyway.
I'd like ask everyone here to try and remember feelings and to treat others with respect, but that ain't going to happen. This is why I spoke up earlier, because I knew this exact thing was going to happen. I should've closed this thread then.
No use living in the past.
Closed.

You're also both banned for 48 hours. Take the time to reacquaint yourself with not only the rules of the forum, but also the expectations of common decency. Forget either of the two again and the ban becomes permanent. It's time for this behavior -- and, even worse, proudness of it -- to stop.
