Any Otakus and furries here?

[JakeSully]

I am a furry/otaku myself since i was young when i laid eyes on Cleo from Heathcliff/Cheetara and Pumaraya on Thundercats and been an Otaku since i saw Voltron with Grimm's fairy tales with Jack and The Beanstalk 1974 on TV as a kid.

I'm also a brony as well.

Dear god no, furries is where I draw the line.

I can understand finding anime/comic girls good looking or attractive, but once you move into furry territory I immediately shut the door.

But would you compare furries to Otakus?

Furries are fans of anthros and animal humanoids

[Leo656]

There's most likely tons of them here but I think it's naive to expect any of them to "out" themselves given the general climate around here.

See Cubed's reaction above.

[JakeSully]

Any bronies as well?

[TigerClaw]

TMNT kind of sort of falls in the Furry Fandom, They would be in the Scalies category.

You'll find lots of TMNT stuff in furry art sites, And most that are NSFW.

I like the show but I don't think I'd label myself.

That's right.

And what about semi-anime since it's drawn in Japan sometimes.

[Davetello]

Had no clue what any of these terms mean, but I do like anime and manga, although not to an obsessive extent. I've seen Monster and Death Note.

[JakeSully]

Otaku is japanese for hardcore anime fan and furry means a person with an interest for anthro animal people and humanoid animal beings and brony means a male who likes My Little Pony friendship is Magic.

Thanks, I know that now because I googled the terms.

[turtlefanforever]

I'm not one of ya, but right on for coming out with it man. Respect. You probably won't get many people here to admit it, and if they did I can't imagine the talks you guys would have in the thread be in like with the rules here at the drome

[TigerClaw]

There are people who like looking at Furry Art, But are not Furries, They just like it cause it looks cool.

True story, I know lots of folks like that. They look at it but don't wank to it.

Don't bother me either way, whatever makes you happy.

I'm not sure this is the place for asking this stuff. Isn't this a TMNT forum? Shouldn't this be about TMNT? Go to a furry forum if you wanna talk about furries. Don't talk about it here,man!

[JakeSully]

What about if someone likes anime art and they aren't otakus and all that?

Well frogz, TMNT is popular with both Otakus and Furries you know.

And Leo would you say the same about anime is that not all wank to anime especially the tentacle stuff?

[Netkeeper]

The turtles are anthropomorphic animals no matter which way you slice it -- asking for the furries here isn't that farfetched.

You can probably consider me a furry. I frequent furry sites, draw furry art, I do furry RP, I like a lot of shows/games that feature anthropomorphic animals, and I have a lot of friends in the fandom -- I just don't do the fursona thing. Tried it in the past. It was really awkward and I didn't like it.

That said, bronies are awful and disgusting. MLP is just fine, it's a cute show, but brony culture is the worst. Also, don't call yourself an otaku. It's a derogatory term, not a good one. Don't be proud of that.

This is the "Everything Else" section, hence he's discussing something unrelated to the turtles.

Ah. I see. Never mind
Sorry i'm new here lol

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Actually, this is the PERFECT place for that. It's the Everything Else section of the General Discussion (non-TMNT) forums, and since TMNT IS a fandom with many "scalies" as the ones who are into our reptilian heroes are termed, then what's wrong with that? I'll go ahead and out myself here as being somewhat of a furry/scalie- but only with a few specific frnachises. I DO occasionally find myself drwn to certain anthro characters, not as a general thing, but just certain ones that appeal to me as a CHARACTER, not because of their animal/anthro qualities.

I've also got a high respect for some of the artists and writers who write/draw fan-pics/fics of some of my favorite characters, because they ARE talented people, and I can appreciate their works both for the subjects being depicted and for the time, effort, and talent that went into them. I don't really "get my jollies" from any of it (see my post regarding porn in the "no on social media" thread in this section) but I DO appreciate it for its own sake as art or literature. Three years ago, I would have never even been interested in that sort of thing, but having found some really good ones on Deviant Art and fan-fiction.net, I've come to appreciate and respect the works of these folks, and I have no qualms about adding myself into the ranks, if it simply means that I feel "attracted" to the qualities of certain "furry" or "scaly" characters.

Also, I think I married a human (gijinka!) version of Mikey. My other half is so much like my favorite turtle it's almost scary at times....
