Well, I've been a furry since I was about 15 years old, and now that I'm 28, I can say it's been quite a while since I discovered the community. It's been a fun 13 years, but recently, I've begun to have my doubts. Not because I've changed, but because the community as I knew it has begun to change.
I first got into the furry community with websites such as DigimonHentaiZone, Playmouse, AGNPH, and XXXPuppyFarm. Most, if not all of these earlier websites are dead. I knew Sofurry back when it was called Yiffstar, and E621 back when it was E620.
A lot of the artists I used to love have also moved onto other things, whether because they grew out of the fandom, or some other events in their lives caused them to do it. I haven't seen any content updates from them in I don't remember how long.
Same thing with role players. There used to be quite a lot of good RPers on the Sofurry forums, but they seem to have dropped out and now the forums are filled with rookies who the mods felt was necessary to write an in depth, online guide about the basics of proper role playing.
But all of that can be forgiven. Shit happens in life, and people move onto other interests. I get it. What I do not enjoy, however, is the direction that the art community has gone recently. I am specifically referring to the rather abundant increase of Diaper, Feet, Bathroom, Castration, and Herm content that has been appearing on my favorite sites now.
None of these are fetishes that I enjoy. In fact, I find them quite disgusting. The only exception is the Herm part, and that's only if the artwork is really good. Otherwise, I find the idea of having both parts to be creepy, and it makes me squeamish having a birth canal centered between your ass and your balls.
I don't know what the hell Gatomon did, but somebody decided that they really enjoy watching her get circumcised. Cutting off her clitoris and labia in not one, but several artwork uploads. Gatomon is one of the cutest Digimon; why do you want to torture her so badly!?
And then, of course, there are the dirty diaper fetishes; you people are sick! If you think it's erotic to walk around in a diaper, shitting and pissing all over yourselves, then I strongly encourage you to seek professional help. I know this fetish was around when I first got into the furry fandom, but now it's becoming more frequent, and it's grossing me out.
Foot Fetish, I don't really get at all. It just doesn't do anything for me, but the whole licking people's feet / paws / hooves thing is really weird. I mean, those things have to be covered in dirt and grime, and you're going to put your tongue on it!?
I'm not saying, I'm ready to leave the furry fandom. In fact, I've found some new artists who produce some very good content. Petrock and Kitsuneyoukai being two of my favorites now. I'm merely saying that the recent change in the online community has begun to make me question whether the community is as appealing to me as it used to be.
Well that's it for my little rant. Wanted to get that off my chest for a while.
Thank you for listening!
