FURDOME
What is a furry?
We could give you a personal description of what Furry stands for but it would not be accurate.
All we can share is that most furries like to role play into an animal of their choosing.
However what we can say for certain is that the reason for most people for being a furry is because they chose to be one.
And the reasons why people believe to be furry differ immensely compared to one another, so we won't bother trying to explain what cannot be explained properly. So the best way of explaining is by not trying to. But all Furries have one thing in common.
They all love at least one animal or at least respect them (if they claim to be a Furry for the right reasons).
What makes Furdome Furries diffirent?
As I said before everyone has their reasons why they claim to be a Furry.But us Furdome furries just do not believe in the fandom as it is today.
If 2 people claim to be Furry, they should at least have a connection or be able to give each other respect.
Unfortunately few of us feel this connection wherever we go within the fandom.
On forums you too often come across furries that treat each other like criminals and even at conventions most furries only seem to approach you when they want something from you, mostly unpleasant stuff.
We think that when you are a Furry you shouldn't necessarily have to devolve to the mind (instinct) of an animal where only mating counts, and where you end up treating others like competition (the enemy).
No! when looking back we see that we have a common link which is the animals we respect and love and we should learn to respect others because of that. How much of a furry are we really if we act as if the fandom is all about us and us alone?
I always considered furry to be a large community of people that all feel the same in at least 1 area.
I refer to furdome as "different" in the question although I wouldn't really call us "different" opposed to the rest of the fandom, it was just my way to make it easier to understand that we do not entirely share the fandom's image it holds today.
We believe that there's a lot of decay in the fandom in the sense that there are a lot of intolerant, ignorant, insensitive & egocentric people who call themselves furries and mess up for the rest of us.
We Furdome furries strive to maintain a friendly environment "and" are intolerant to any form of disrespect/injustice towards another furry/person. And we will accept them for who they are as long as they for their part, think their answers through before hurting someone's feelings necessarily. The shortest way to describe what we do on Furdome would be that we separate EGO from IQ+EQ and of course only the second is welcome.
Despite the fact that Furdome isn't Yiff based, we still consider our community to be "Mature" in the sense that everyone here is expected to prove it in behavior.
We "The Furdome Crew" welcome you!
