Just a simple question. [message #175993] Do, 01 Dezember 2005 06:02

Are dragons automatically furries?

I mean seriously... I know that there are a lot of dragon FANS here,
but what about those that consider themselves dragons? Not only that,
but they roleplay as a dragon, yiff as a dragon, do other weird kinky
things and go to cons wearing dragonsuits, and all that.

Subquestion: For you dragons: Do antropomorphic animals make good meat
like regular animals, or bad meat like humans?

Depends on your definition, I think; see below.

Technically, furry == fan of anthropomorphic art. But if you mean "furry
lifestyler," then obviously not, since not everyone who considers
themself a dragon (myself, for instance) wears a dragonsuit or
goes to furry cons (not that I'm against the idea, or anything, just not
something I do). Also, many furry lifestylers don't consider themselves
to actually *be* (in a spiritual sense) the animal they associate with.
This is where the discrepancy between furry and therian comes from, I
suppose. In that sense, I *think* most dragons would prefer the term
otherkin.

At any rate, I guess my main point is that 'furry' has different
specific connotations for different people. I use the term to refer to
myself, but I have a more spiritual connotation.

When I get some free time, I'm going to make a post about this and
similar topics.

Why meat when you can fly?

No.

But some have been "furrified" to the point where they don't behave like
traditional dragons any more. This is when we start getting into
dragons with big mammilian boobs. Heh.

Only if they choose to be. Myself, I don't consider myself a "furry" or
a "scalie" or anything like that, I'm just a dragon.

I don't role play, nor do I wear a fursuit. I know I'm a dragon, and
that's enough for me right now, although that's rapidly being degraded
into not being enough.....

> Subquestion: For you dragons: Do antropomorphic animals make good meat

I don't eat anything I can talk to. It's considered bad form. But then,
I also don't need to eat at all, so maybe that's coloured my perceptions.

Folfs for example do not exist in real life but they are considered to
come under the rubric of furry, "scalies" do also by virtue of them
being anthro animals.

The word "furry" does not need to be taken literally. It's just that
furry mammals happen to be the most popular.

A dragon is automatically a furry (as in: "anthro animal") if it is
given any human charecteristics, (like a human level of sentience).

That may apply to other animals, but who's to say that, if dragons
really did exist in this world, they would not have a human level of
sentience anyway? Dolphins are almost there already, are they not?

Personally, though, I don't really care what people classify me as.
Furry, otherkin, shapeshifter... They're all cool.

Actually, he's just responding to a post that also happens to exist in
AFF. You may notice the thread is cross-posted on alt.fan.DRAGONS.
So... err, yeah. No direct interaction with the furry fandom (outside
of the dragon community, and their status as furries is the topic of
discussion, so I'll avoid that for fear of recursion)

ah. However that changes nothing. The dragon community is part of fury
fandom. Since it's people who appreciate anthro animals interacting
with each other and there is much cross trade with other furries.

Nope. Humans are the only creature which has risen from a purely
animal existence to do such things as visiting the moon or developing
powerful antibiotics which have saved the lives of millions.

Well we're running a membership drive and dragons are welcome. And for all

Well, I RP as one (D&D tonight), yiff is to personal a question for me to
directly answer, but I don't do kinky things like yiff in a dragon suit at a
con. };=3)~
Cons are fun, although I made my tail too long.

>Subquestion: For you dragons: Do antropomorphic animals make good meat
>like regular animals, or bad meat like humans?

Short answer: "Bad Meat"
Long answer: I object to the idea of vore, although if not live, then I object
to the idea of cannibalism, including that of a different albeit sentient
species. The DM in my Blue Planet game was cleaver and there are no anthro-
cows (or non-anthro but sentient cows), so us carnivores do get meat.
To quote The Amazing Maurice, "I won't eat anything that talks." (I think he
actually said, or at least thought, "I won't eat anything that asks me not
to," however, I won't eat anything that asks me to either).

You realize that the dragon community only exists as part of the furry
community (and vice versa) when it feels like it.

Sorry, but I don't fall into this category, and neither does much of the rest
of AFD. Well, maybe we do appreciate, but not as humans.

And where, pray tell, did they get most of those antibiotics from,
hmmmm? Notice also that purported microorganisms have been
found in meteorites originating on other planets.

I'll answer your first question. Dragons are otherkin in the most
generic sense, and considered furries by dint of the fact furries were
merely the first subgroup to get a generally popular name. Dragons are
not however furries in fact, as their nature is derived of generally
"fantastic" creatures as opposed to "real-world" animals.

That's my take on it. I'll probably have an entirely different opinion
tommorrow. ^_^

Dolphins didn't create atomic bombs. In my mind, that makes them a lot

Or is furry fandom part of the dragon community? I was a part of the

Maidens aren't for eating. They are much more useful put to work cooking and
cleaning. Even the ditsy headed princess types.

Furry fandom has it's orgins in the early 80's from funny animal fans
who gathered at impromptue meets.

Alt.fan.furry was created in 1990, alt.fan.dragons being a much later
arrival on the scene in 92 and it is safe to say that without AFF
leading the way, it would not have existed. Dragon fans being a subset
of funny (furry) animal fans.

Pompous nonsense. It's a community of people who appreciate
anthromorphic animal media, I.e It's furry.

However, the issue is, Dragons as portrayed in fiction are MIGHTY
BURINANTORS OMG SO POWERFUL!!!! and many of those people who choose
them as their "fursona" or claiming to be a magical spiritual astral
dragon inside are compensateing for their own lack of power and sucess
in real life, and in order to try and feel superior and better they
bash on other furries who adopt fursonas which are not about mighty
burininateing.

Irony of ironies, those who claim to be dragons and form little
eliteist cliques because of it, are demonstrateing classic human
behavior.

That's a fallacy because dolphins do not have the capacity to make any
kind of tool at all, not a flint knife, not a life support machine,
nor an atomic bomb.

"Viruses didn't create atomic bombs. In my mind, that makes them a
lot more intelligent than humans....."

Though you will find yourself alone in the world argueing for the
intellect of viruses I'm afraid.

That's implying that tool-making is the sole metric to measure
intelligence.

intelligence.

1. The capacity to acquire and apply knowledge.
2. The faculty of thought and reason.

I know why there is night and day, why the seasons change and why
there is death and weather. I understand basic mathematics and I can
apply and use all of these things in everyday life.

what non-human animal can say as much?

Humans know large amounts about the world and everything in it, and
even the solar system and universe beyond.

No other animal comes even close to this.

Some animals can do things like useing a bit of wood to extract ants
from a log, but only humans build moon rockets.

Humans are more aware of themselves and their world than any other
creature out there and are the most inteligent creatures in existence.

Just because other animals don't share their knowlege of the world with you
doesn't meant they don't have any.

Merely aquiring knowledge is not sufficient evidence of intelligence. It
must be purposefully applied.

And even then, intelligence is not the acquisition and application of
knowledge, but the capacity to do so. Humans have proved their capacity to
do so to a certain extent. Whether or not animals have proved they have that
capacity, a lack of evidence is not proof that they don't have the capacity
and are not just choosing not to apply it. And if they did apply it, it
could be to something we would not recognize as being intelligent.

When you measure one species against another, the one you are measuring
against will *always* be superior.

When comparing humans to other animals, humans will always prove themselves
to be superior at being human. No other species can be as human as humans
themselves.

Conversely, if you compared dolphins to all other animals, dolphins will
prove themsleves superior at being dolphins.

If we want to compare animals with each other fairly, our standard of
measure can not be something specific to the behaviour of only one species,
but must be a common behaviour that all species exhibit. Comparing species
on their ability to visit the moon is hardly a fair comparison, or even a
useful one.

The one common denominator of all species is survival. We can measure all
species against their ability to survive. Their ability to adapt to new
environments and new situations and take advantage of them. It is by this
quality that we should make our comparisons.

Some see dragons as inheirently sentient creatures with their own
intelligence and language.

Comparable to human intelligence, but uniquely dragon in nature and not
human.

There, then, is no reason to anthropomorphize them, because they have these
qualities in and of themselves.

And if furry be about anthropomorphizing animals, and be complete without
the need to be anthropomorphized, then dragons need not be a part of furry.

Related, perhaps, in that they are a different animal having intelligence
that we can relate too, but not technically anthropomorphic.

It all depends on the ideas of the person interested in dragons. Whether
humanized beasts, or creatures with their own sentience.

No doubt the ideas of dragon fans and furry fans overlap to a considerable
extent.

The word 'automatically' makes it assuming the answer is 'no'... a
