Just curious.

* yes

WTH does this have to do with gaming?

Furry.

Isn't that a late war British fighter?

Have no idea what you are talking about.

If you want to know if I'm a mentally ill, sexually deviant degenerate you could just ask. No need to beat around the bush…

"No need to beat around the bush…"

Surely you mean, "No need to beat around the brush…"

This paints no miniatures.

Ask this guy:

"I have my bearskin!"

"Bare skin?"

No miniatures of furries – only ones I have are my US "Dogfaces"

No, I am not part of that particular group. I don't anthropomorphize about being an animal. I don't have an expensive animal costume to dress up in, an appropriate T-shirt to wear, or even ears to stick on.

My anthropomorphizing activities are pretty much limited to trying to figure out what my dog is thinking, why he is looking that way so intently, and why he feels it necessary to do something, and I usually express these in human terms, though I realize these may not be totally appropriate.

My personal fandom areas are pretty much limited to attending two science fiction conventions each year and one gaming convention, and it is all pretty much non-furry.

Almost forgot to mention that, though I do wargame, I do not have a sand table for my games, or to serve as a litterbox.

What's next: pony play?

"Are you a Furry?"

No, I wear clothing in public…

Seriously? What had this faux existentialist first world identity angst got to do with gaming?

You are much too kind and trusting, Louis XIV.

I've painted anthropomorphic miniatures, and my avatar is one, but don't pretend to be one. Sadly, I've known some GenZ who think they are. We're told to accept it as 'normal'. Sigh.

If everyone is crazy, is anyone crazy?

"WTH does this have to do with gaming?"
I guess it's possible that if one was a furry and a wargamer, they would play wargames dressed as such. If they truly wanted to live the belief.
As for me, no.

I'm a big hairy guy, does that count?

No, but my St. Bernard does shed on me.

God, no.

Please don't do this poll, Bill. TMP is a respite from the world's loonies' obsession with themselves which they seem to think they get to foist on everybody else. Please, please, please don't bring that crap here. Dump it, and dump this thread.

+1 Parzival no need to go into other peoples perversions/obsessions here.

With all due respect to freedom of speech and expression, and to quote the Wild Rover, "no, nay and never"

If someone is a Furry, how could they use the keyboard on the computer to respond?

Or are there Bark to Text apps now that do the translation for you?

A Greek goddess of vengeance? I do not qualify.

I have a built in Cousin Itt costume for Halloween … does that count?

Are you…. looking for likeminded people, or …?

NO, but I saw one at Historicon in 2023. So there's that.

I once was Furry… but I got better.

+2 Parzival.

Trust me on this…

There is an hysterical slapstick indie flick available on Prime called, "Hundreds of Beavers." Its furries meets Looney Tunes. Check out the trailer(s) on YouTube. You'll get the idea.

The movie runs a bit too long for the premise, but it's an enjoyable diversion.

Yow!

Parzival spoke for many.

(Pay no attention to that vintage avatar logo! Means nothing!)

This thread is a tale of sound and furry, signifying nothing.

No, I shave … sometimes …

I put my lack of shaving to being forced to before I had to.

Do the "Fuzzy-Wuzzy" count as furries?

"We've fought with many men acrost the seas,
An' some of 'em was brave an' some was not:
The Paythan an' the Zulu an' Burmese;
But the Fuzzy was the finest o' the lot.
We never got a ha'porth's change of 'im:
'E squatted in the scrub an' 'ocked our 'orses,
'E cut our sentries up at Suakim,
An' 'e played the cat an' banjo with our forces.
So 'ere's to you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, at your 'ome in the Soudan;
You're a pore benighted 'eathen but a first-class fightin' man;
We gives you your certificate, an' if you want it signed
We'll come an' 'ave a romp with you whenever you're inclined.

We took our chanst among the Khyber 'ills,
The Boers knocked us silly at a mile,
The Burman give us Irriwaddy chills,
An' a Zulu impi dished us up in style:
But all we ever got from such as they
Was pop to what the Fuzzy made us swaller;
We 'eld our bloomin' own, the papers say,
But man for man the Fuzzy knocked us 'oller.
Then 'ere's to you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, an' the missis and the kid;
Our orders was to break you, an' of course we went an' did.
We sloshed you with Martinis, an' it wasn't 'ardly fair;
But for all the odds agin' you, Fuzzy-Wuz, you broke the square.

'E 'asn't got no papers of 'is own,
'E 'asn't got no medals nor rewards,
So we must certify the skill 'e's shown
In usin' of 'is long two-'anded swords:
When 'e's 'oppin' in an' out among the bush
With 'is coffin-'eaded shield an' shovel-spear,
An 'appy day with Fuzzy on the rush
Will last an 'ealthy Tommy for a year.
So 'ere's to you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, an' your friends which are no more,
If we 'adn't lost some messmates we would 'elp you to deplore;
But give an' take's the gospel, an' we'll call the bargain fair,
For if you 'ave lost more than us, you crumpled up the square!

'E rushes at the smoke when we let drive,
An', before we know, 'e's 'ackin' at our 'ead;
'E's all 'ot sand an' ginger when alive,
An' 'e's generally shammin' when 'e's dead.
'E's a daisy, 'e's a ducky, 'e's a lamb!
'E's a injia-rubber idiot on the spree,
'E's the on'y thing that doesn't give a damn
For a Regiment o' British Infantree!
So 'ere's to you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, at your 'ome in the Soudan;
You're a pore benighted 'eathen but a first-class fightin' man;
An' 'ere's to you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, with your 'ayrick 'ead of 'air –
You big black boundin' beggar – for you broke a British square!"

They do sound a bit furry.

Or "Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy, was he?"
🤔

I am not now, nor have I ever been, a member of the Fuzzy Party.

However, I do own some 80s-vintage painted 25mm Vargr miniatures from Grenadier.

I really wanted to think this subject line was a typo for the Erinyes (or Furiae). Alas, no!
