Just a lvl 29 guy from Finland. Full-stack web developer, Scrum Master and a team facilitator by trade, but actually more into server-side programming, networking, and sysadmin stuff.
During the summer, I love trekking, camping and other hiking adventures. Also somewhat of an avgeek and a huge Lego fanatic.
A furry or something. Why be yourself when you can be a fluffy raccoon on the internet?

It’s more about “could give consent”.
You’re not wrong but that’s still the part I’m not a huge fan of. I think the moment we start arguing whether something is okay based on if a fictional creature would be sapient enough to give consent or not, we’re in a bit dangerous waters because that same train of thought is used by real life animal abusers: “My dog is so intelligent, I can communicate with it and it’s sexually mature. Obviously it would give consent if it could speak.”
That’s why I personally think the better way to look at it is to draw a clear line between reality and fiction and just treat fiction as fiction where none of this matters.
Also, wanna make it clear I’m not trying to invalidate how anyone personally looks at this matter. Just pointing out the flaw in the logic if trying to “justify” furry porn with “tests” like this.
I dunno how much of it is just a joke, but seeing that image is used on the Wikipedia page for Furry pornography, I guess people actually think about this stuff.
Personally I don’t fully agree with the “test”. The whole concept of consent is a bit odd when it comes to fully fictional media. Fictional creatures can never give consent for real (because they’re fictional) and we cannot know if they would if they were real. But unlike in real life, in fiction/fantasy we can just choose to ignore difficult questions like that (or even decide it’s nonconsensual, if that’s something you’re into). Isn’t the whole point of fiction to imagine things that aren’t possible in reality?
That said, there’s gotta be some limit. If it’s likely that some sick child molester will get kicks from some piece of art, then probably that art shouldn’t be made in the first place.
I don’t get it. What is this about?
There should be a pro dom(me) who first ties you up AND then puts you through hardcore needle play… by making sure you’re current on your vaccines.
Someone would pay for that.

- Combination of 1 and 2: Go high-tech and invest in motion sensing light switches. They will properly work almost as often as the flashlight with 15% battery… For the ultimate thrill seekers, try getting ones advertised as ‘smart’. They might not work at all when AWS is having another outage…
Does anyone actually wear glasses just for the looks? I’ve had glasses since I was 11 and you quickly get so used to them that you don’t notice them constantly but they still cause a lot of different inconveniences. No way I would ever consider wearing them if I didn’t need them.
I wonder whether foot fetish is more or less common among furries than non-furries, or if there’s no difference at all. In my social circle it seems that a surprisingly large number of furries are into feet and/or paws, but that could very well be just my social bubble.

10·1 year agoI wouldn’t fly on OwO Airlines. Passenger comfort and safety doesn’t seem to be high on their list given all the blatant safety violations AND the fact that there’s no passenger windows at all.
At first glance I was like is this some horrible gore art where someone has pushed a knife through the poor thing. Good thing it’s not that!
For anyone like me who doesn’t know their Pokemon: It’s Gardevoir, they have a fin like horn on their chest and back.
Oh man, that was 12 years ago already

(The lyrics shown in the art are sung right at the beginning, from 0:10 to 0:22)As for the translation of the lyrics, Genius has them explained in detail. The lyrics are in heavy dialect and some of it are total nonsense.
As someone who rarely commissions art (and never anything nsfw), I’ve wondered about it. Isn’t it really awkward to explain what you want, especially if the artist isn’t into it themselves or might not even be very familiar with the specific fetish or niche? Or do people usually commission that kind of art only from artists who are into it themselves and/or draw that specific stuff often?

Why… Why would you carry them like that?!
