Furry Fandom: Difference between revisions

m
(trope->useful notes, creatortropes)
Line 29:
* [[Cowboy Bebop at His Computer]]: Almost every mention/article about furries in the media will suffer from this to some degree, even if the article is written by a furry (since not all furries are in agreement as to what the fandom is about). Making things more difficult is that furries have become very hesitant to appear on the news.
* [[Darker and Edgier]], [[Hotter and Sexier]]: The fandom as we know it basically kicked off with a bunch of independent writers and artists and their fans giving the finger to the [[Animation Age Ghetto]].
* [[Daydream Believer]]: Otherkin and Therians fall into this category, sometimes even refusing to be called by their human names. Some even go as far as to claim ''all'' [[Humans Are the Real Monsters|Humans Are Bastards]]. It's not easy to have a normal conversation with those few.
* [[Deconstruction]]: The fiction ''[http://www.sofurry.com/page/16447 I Wish I Was Furry]'' (link is text-NSFW) and the ''The Problems With Cross-Breeding'' comics.
* [[Dead Horse Trope]]: "All furries are wolves, foxes and cats". There's a lot of furry art featuring other species out there, even the "[[squick]]y" ones like spiders, sharks, and snakes.
Line 51:
* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: Duh.
** [[Mix-and-Match Critters]], [[Heinz Hybrid]], & [[Interspecies Romance]]: Furry "species" seem to be more analogous to human races than actual biological species, seeing as they're able to mate, interbreed, and even have viable children.
* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]: Present in almost every single furry fiction that has humans as a major race. There are aversions where the one human character was a [[Fur Will Fly|visitor from another dimension]] or the [[Last of His Kind|last of]] [[Furthia High|his species]].
* [[Humans Are Ugly]]: Stated by a huge number of furs with varying degrees of seriousness [[Does Not Understand Sarcasm|which other furs inevitably fail to notice]]. By definition, though, you have to at least think there's some appeal to the idea of not being completely human.
* [[Hypocritical Fandom]]: Most trolling done to the Furry Fandom is done by other furries. Also, as this is the ''Internet'', [[GIFT|perfectly nice people are turned into perpetually angry sociopaths because they don't suffer consequences]].
