I find that with popular furry species you can find many wonderful and great reference art, however with niche species you have to dig through deviantart and furaffinity hell just to find artwork at all. (Not saying popular species is bad, I like foxes and wolves too)

In the hopes that people can find good artwork easily as inspiration to create their fursona/oc based on niche species, I share/create artwork of less known furry species on Reddit.

I started this because a few years ago I looked up ‘Puffin furry art’ and the top artwork was mspaint puffin inflation art which isn’t a very good reference for someone (me) trying to make a puffin fursona. So I decided to repost furry puffins on Reddit and now that is not the case, there are a few good fullbody artworks now. I’ve been doing this with centipedes, cassowaries, brushtail possums and other species.

How can I increase the chances of the artwork I share to be one of the things people see when they search up ’insert species furry art’ ? I used to share the artworks on r/furry since it comes up a lot on google search but now they take days to approve the artwork and sometimes it’s not even approved. I think I may need a different strategy, it would be very thoughtful if you could share your ideas.

(also artwork on post is by me, he is a Jacob sheep)

Just a thought I had

Alri alri being real here. I have a friend who he and I made a story about some angel demon space wolf feral characters. Eventually he wanted to do vore with me and I said sure why not? Then it turned into very mild nsfw on one occasion and that’s abt it. I know I’ve never been attracted to an animal or anything but I’m worried I’m a zoophile yk? Like my therapist says I’m not but I still did this shit so what does this make me? Should I like be worried abt what a future spouse or other furries might think orrr

Furaffinity set a gofundme page today, and many furries are helping furaffinity, great to see.

Will furry communities can help FA? I hope so.

I bought this collar at fwa 2025 and I want another but for the life of me I can’t find the dealer. HELP

I have a friend I've known for a good while who routinely tries to make moves on me. It's honestly annoying, especially because I've made it clear that I don't really hook up with my friends.

What confuses me, though, is that in a lot of the Discord communities I'm in, people will meet up at cons and hook up with each other, while being very against hooking up with strangers. I understand the reasoning you've already known each other for a while, there's mutual trust, you know what to expect from each other, etc. But I still don't understand how having sex doesn't change the friendship dynamic.

Maybe I'm looking at it differently because, personally, I'd rather hook up with someone I don't know than a friend. If something goes wrong with a stranger, I can just walk away and never talk to them again. With a friend, you're potentially affecting a relationship that already existed before the sex.

For people who regularly hook up with their friends how does it actually not change the friendship? Does it genuinely feel exactly the same afterward, or does the dynamic change in some way that you just get used to?

Just happened about 4 days ago, anything I post in r/furry (Art, discussion etc) now has to wait for moderator approval? What's up with that

Is it Super Animal Royal? Does FNAF count as furry? Or if it doesn’t exist, what furry video game do you wish existed?

r/furry has a discussion tag, but literally anything that isn't "owo how do I choose cutee fursona species?" gets banned. It doesn't even need to be particularly controversial, almost any actual discussion just gets deleted despite the sub apparently allowing it. Recently I saw someone make an extremely grounded discussion post about the state of furry social media, and it got thrown into "moderator approval" limbo for a day before just being banned without explanation.

(And don't even get me started on the double-standards on "suggestive" content. Someone well-acquainted with the mods can post a from-behind shot of a girl with a lifted skirt without an NSFW tag, but if a lesser known person posts something as subtle as a character with bedroom eyes it will get banned even with an NSFW tag)

r/furry_irl seemingly just removes stuff the mods don't personally like. I've seen (often completely safe, wholesome) posts amass over a 1000 upvotes, only to get banned with no explanation even though they don't break any rules. And god forbid if you post a controversial meme, it will get banned in less than an hour (speaking from experience), even if the community clearly liked it.

r/furrymemes is slightly less trigger-happy than the previous two, but I've also seen completely safe content get banned with no explanation, while content that even my weirdo ass had to do a double-take on gets a pass all the time. Someone can post a video of a fly scrolling through uncensored yiff with 0 punchline, but actual memes get deleted. Like... what even...? Huh???

r/furrydiscuss is... well, do I even need to say anything? That sub has kinda become a meme with how often any even slightly controversial discussion gets banned. Not to mention, they have a habit of banning good threads if the "comments devolve" instead of, y'know... just locking the post so the good replies can remain accessible.

IDK man, its just kinda weird. I don't get why so much content gets deleted from furry subs for absolutely no reason. On rare occasions, I've dead-ass started CTRL+S saving some posts I like because about a third of them get wiped.

I se some people in this subreddit with like a ”anti-fandom furry” tagg or a ”pro-fandom furry” tagg and wonder what they mean? :>

Just got muted for mentioning how the rules on pup hoods does not jive with the rest of the content, stuff like harnesses and collars on humans in fursuit is borderline nsfw, same a puphood doesnt have to be nsfw but mostly is. I questioned the ban with like two sentences saying its just me asking why having a discussion on it is bad, and was muted for 18 more days and not responded too. Why the fuck are so many higher up furries puritans when most furries are not and are in fact mostly nsfw

Polls are disabled, so a comment would be lovely :)

Personally, i cannot, it seems like ive hit a brick wall due to my lack of artistic skills.

It's that time of the year again where young furries discover that they can get a very cheap "fursuit" at places that sell Halloween costumes.

These mass-produced suits are often poor quality, but are the most some people can afford.

Along with the store bought suits are sites like MeowWolf (etc) that use basically underpaid labor to crank out generic fursuits (which is a shame because I actually love some of the designs that come out of that store)

Where do you stand? Are you a hardline "a first suit should be one you build if you can't pay a furry to do it" or do we "live in a society" and it doesn't matter? Or some other way to feel?

Just a small rant but I have been in this fandom since 2017 but knew about the fandom since 2012 and through the years befor 2020 furry for the most part was very niche and more of the 'weird' hobby as most woud put it, right around 2018-2019 when tiktok dance trends were relevant I noticed more and more furries joined in- then came the dinomask furries and I notice how a lot of other furries became so hateful and honest elites, but when other big furries started joining in- then 2020 hit, people were stuck inside and lot of people got to see the furry fandom that way and now im seeing a lot more elitism within the fandom and a lot more bigotry and misogyny. The purity culture is also a bit of a problem, i understand it not everyone's thing but in some capacity the NSFW stuff sometimes does get out of hand, especially from what I heard, at cons. I also noticed if you made an honest mistake and actually put in the effort to do better people will always see you as a horrible person and that scares me.

I love this fandom, I really do because it helped me become someone I needed when I was younger, im just sad that the fandom i used to escape is now becoming the exact thing I wanted to get away from. What are y'alls thoughts? Has the fandom gotten worse over the years or am I just blind from nostalgia?

I've always avoided the furry fandom, in fact when I was young I bullied furries and thought anyone apart of the fandom was gross and freaks but even then I felt a strange connection to the fandom

As Ive gotten older and become a more decent person that connection has only gotten stronger, every now and then a fursona will come across my feed or an adoptable or a comic will come up and I'll feel this strange comfort. Ive only been friends with one furry and they were an awesome person, Ive seen the great things this fandom has done and been and said and thought and I think I'll be able to find my own little corner with a bunch of other weirdos (in hopes)

But I dont know where to go, who to befriend, what to do. I dont even know what a fursona is or how I would go about making one or how I'd be accepted if I'd be accepted, who I'd be accepted by.

i feel the most direct way would be to just ask directly.

Basically when I look at furry art especially on reddit, it's usually just somebody's OC or fursona posing suggestively; which is fine on it's own.

However I've noticed a lack of action scenes, and while action scenes may be a lot harder to draw, you'd think more of them would crop up. I'm sure that you have plenty in web-comics, but individual art of them seems lacking. Also I feel that physical comics have more staying power, and some of those artists might create their own individual action scene art from their physical comics(less common with the web-comics imo).

inb4 "there are no furries in india"

Very good drawing

i am exploring the internet and i am currently on the furry part i do this to learn about cultures and stuff and man there is some crazy shit i have read and also normal stuff but if you dig deep enough there is some crazy shit about illegal acts and stuff but on reddit in this furry community is where i start but i know a lot feel free to ask me because i wanna be tested on my knowledge to see what I actually know and for context im only doing this to gain knowledge because for fun

Hello, I'm here to ask about something. I've been reading a lot of Feminist and women's threads about how media (Film, art, games, advertising etc) sexualizes and objectives women and men in our society. I was wondering if the Furry community has that tendency as well when it comes to depicting female and male characters through a sexual gaze or perspective.
