PGH stations been interviewing the conventioneers for the last couple of days- they all insist there's no weird sex going on. And of course, in every newscast, the reporter references that CSI episode. Whatever, the furries are bringing millions of dollars to the 'burgh...as long as I don't hafta watch them hump, they're welcome!

'Brewers announcer Jim Powell is quoted as saying "Going up the elevator is an unpleasant experience when you are packed in with a bunch of people who look like they haven't left their mother's basements since the last convention."'

Wait, was he talking about Farkers?

The best was the year this guy I was dating sent me a random camera phone picture of his purebred german shepard posed with a furry dressed as one. He didn't know what furries were, but after I explained he got all weird about letting them touch his dog.

Did any other Pittsburghers catch the City Paper feature on furries last year or the year before? It was much better done than this new piece (KDKA for ya...) and had a hillarious re-cap of some of the "yiffy" parties.

 
Sabyen91 [TotalFark] 2008-06-28 08:19:33 PM  
Nope, he wasn't talking about Farkers. These guys take themselves a little more seriously. Furries are no joke! Check out the responses.

Except not really, any sexual activity involving consenting adults is healthy and fine by me, but it is funny.

I just got back from the Allegheny County Jail.

I was arrested because I went to Anthrocon with a real chain saw hoping to improve the gene pool.

/would be cool if I did.

You don't need a chainsaw to spay or neuter your furries.

What is this Epic Underboob thread of which you speak?

I'm thinking flamethrower or molotov cocktails. Something to cook them on the inside.

It scares me of think that when gays are able to get married, these guys will be next.

 
walnuts55 [TotalFark] 2008-06-28 08:28:22 PM  
I hate to open my self up like this. But is this just a gay thing or do women do this too?
I guess I have been in small town to long.

 
Haoie 2008-06-28 08:29:27 PM  
I figured they'd do this in places like Vegas [where nothing's even remotely weird], but not there.

I believe it is almost exclusively hetero and women participate. But I could be wrong...saw it on CSI.

And if he does, he couldn't pick a better time to drop the meteor on their heads than when they're gathered in Pittsburgh. Talk about killing two birds with one stone.

Hey, I finally found out what a furry is.

DRESSING UP LIKE A TEDDY BEAR TO FARK SOMEONE ELSE DRESSED AS A BUNNY RABBIT IS NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NORMAL


It is hilarious every year seeing the local pundits treat this sexcon as though it is cute and amusing

I love how SHOCKED that guy was when she asked if it was sexual.

walnuts55: I hate to open my self up like this. But is this just a gay thing or do women do this too?

If you throw out the "catgirl" epidemic (which dates back to at least the early 1990s that I know of, and probably the early 90s), last I heard it leaned (a) more bisexual than purely gay or straight and (b) slightly more male than female.

For myself, I'd prefer an STD check and clear agreement as to exclusivity before sleeping with a furvert MOTAS, largely because I don't think anyone has done a good epidemiological anthropology study of STD transmission within the Furry community yet.

/nice pussy....

Rays' color man just made a comment about a rainbow that emerged over PNC Park:

"Well, there's probably a couple leprechauns down there from the furry convention."

From the population Ive encountered id say the gay quotient is way above that of the general population. So much so that the straight ones sometimes feel the need to make their orientation pretty clear.

Dinobot 2008-06-28 08:49:14 PM  
the Sci-Con organizers should learn from the furries and the otakus - cancelling the convetion a day after it started, wow...

theorellior: Paging Ringshadow to the thread... paging Ringshadow to the thread...

Present and accounted for. But I'm painting a dancing anthro lemur so I'm really not up to this debate right now.

And by the way, I find "Yiff in Hell, Furfags" to be hilarious, really. Where would you prefer us to yiff, in Heaven? That'd lead to some interesting rain.

And a few points to try to cut some off at the pass...
Furries are not always zoos or plushies
...are not always gay
...are not always fursuiters (vast minority here!)

Yes, we have our token dumbasses, but come on. 95% of us keep to ourselves. What could we possibly do to you, donate to Tiger Sanctuary in your stead? Offer you a hug?

/mostly harmless

I like the cat girl thing but the rest is not me

If you have a really hairy back can you go there and walk around naked ?

 
aerojockey [TotalFark] 2008-06-28 08:56:45 PM  
What's sad is this is Pittsburgh's major annual international conference. Pity, they built that nice convention center at great cost and this is the best they can do. Hell, we have podunk towns in our own state that do better (Punxatawney and Williamsport).

Thanks. Darnit, CSI lied to me. I was hoping to find hot bunny-women open to casual sex. Ah, well, I have been disappointed before.

 
Moonfisher 2008-06-28 09:00:43 PM  
These guys don't bother me nearly as much as plushies. I'm grateful those losers still hide at home and just commune via website for now. I don't think my brain could handle a plushie convention, even in the burgh.
