I noticed there was a mention of Furrisem in the resent religion thread.
I though it may be an interesting thing to talk about considering Lugaru: the rabbits foot uses Anthromophic charictors. Tell me your veiws people!
*We have ways of making you talk!

(*ok, I would have used a YTMND here, but Im on a computer that aint mine :/ it'll have to wait )

Where's the "Kinda" option? I had to vote no because of the lack of this.

Also, the definition of "Furry" is pretty vague, IMO.

Come on... What the hell? Stop putting people into categories already just to make fun of them.

Alright, if you INSIST: There is no sexual content in Lugaru, and there's no man-on-antropomorph action.

So whether it's furry or not, it at least isn't what 4chan likes to hate.

Keep your stupid sociopathic flamewar shit where it belongs: In the gutter of the internet.

Do you understand that, Chainsaw Dipshit?

I will doublepost to make it VERY clear to you why this makes my blood boil, to use your words.

When I fire up XBL to play a round of Skate, all I hear is "You're gay", "Niggercheater" and so on.

When I read comments on YouTube about some game, it's the same.

Now you're trying to bring such a retarded viewpoint of brandmarking content and people into this forum.

I admit, it's pretty random, but it's disgusting. Think about it: Where can this discussion lead when you see people from here direct-linking 4chan content, referring to Encyclopaedia Dramatica articles and so on?

This is exactly why I left the forums a few times, hoping a few months later it would have somehow chilled out in that regard, just to bump into another stupid /b/-like topic. This is so great.

Lugaru contains anthropomorphic animals in a 'serious' setting, and will therefore appeal to furry fans. I can answer any more specific questions on this topic.

Coli, if you really are interested in this discussion we had about furries, check here:

It was originally my thread about Wolf & Spice that got hijacked.

Oh, Ok...
Um Soz Lol?
Rudel... Calm down, WTF?
My Intention was to hear people's veiws, not make a new flame war

I don't know anything about this "furry" category. But it seems to me that the Lugaru universe doesn't contain humans. Or any sort of hybrid human/animal. By this I mean no human features outside of general body shape/structure, since I guess you could consider Turner a hybrid human/rabbit. So to me, that separates it from anime where girls have tails, the first mention of "furry" I saw on this forum.

edit: Alright, I read David's link and I guess Lugaru does have furries. But my last point still stands.

He didn't say that. He said they appeal to furry fans.

I can answer any more specific questions on this topic.

Ok... A Blunt Question that will End debait between A Postman and A Furum-Muppet-Yoda...

As a Yes, no awnser. Is the Lugaru Univrse a Furry Universe, or Not a Furry Universe? We Know it will apeal to Furrys, but that seems to sound like a Everybody wins no. Y/N?
(drum roll)

Read the link. It defines furries.

What link? Turner is an anthtropomorphic rabbit, not a human with a couple of rabbit features. No furries. End.

This is an interesting topic, not least because furry means different things depending on where you stand.

For example, I don't consider my avatar to be furry because there is no human persona being expressed. It is not an image meant to represent who I am "on the inside" or a representation of anyone else I know.

As Lugaru is a story about some very distinct and self-contained characters, I'd personally say the answer is no. If the characters were related to people in the real world - somehow representations of real people, then I'd say yes.

For an example of amazingly horrific furry art (I don't mean graphic or sexual - its a story about the holocaust) read MAUS. The germans are cats, the jews are mice, americans are dogs. But they are all real people as told from the point of view of the authors father.

This question is impossible to answer unless we nail down a definition for a 'furry universe' so that we can compare it to Lugaru. If the definition is a universe that contains anthropomorphic animals, then the answer is yes. On the other hand, this also means World of Warcraft, Oblivion and Avernum/Exile take place in a furry universe.

There's a link in David's first post.

I don't see why everyone is having so much trouble understanding this..
