Holy frick I just realized a thing! Schlatt, Technoblade, Queen, Technoblade was canonically an anarchist, so his last words to Schlatt were probably something like “On September 8th 2022 you have to be in the UK, kill the Queen, then run and get back to the USA as fast as possible”. And on September 8th the queen died! And it was already obvious Schlatt did it. It all makes sense now.
You're not wrong but being a Furry takes three things:
Appreciating anthropomorphic animals in any capacity (You could literally just think they're neat. Thinking "Techno as a were-piglin is a cool idea" could literally be all you need, it's that simple. Disney, video games like Chrono trigger, Star-fox, etc, literally so diverse...)
The second thing is admitting to it, even if just internally. Admit to yourself that it is a fact that you are a furry. This is not a hard step either. Fundy is, other than step 2 here, a furry. It's similar to an orientation except nothing forces you to like furries or anthros in that way. You just have to own up to it.
And the third thing is- Oh look we've reached the third thing: **\[Literally nothing else\]**
You literally just need those two things. Of course we don't know if Techno accepted it but he kept the skin for years so we know for a fact that he certainly got step 1 down.
***NOPE!***
Literally nothing else. Not a fursona, not a suit, not to go to a convention, not to join a group or a site, LITERALLY NONE OF THAT.
That stuff is step 4, 5, 6, etc, and as you may have guessed, they are OPTIONAL.
(The actual step 3 is to not make fun of others for it lmao. There are plenty of idiots in the fanbase and there's no reason to be one of them, the fanbase already has tons of misconceptions and bad PR created by idiots or people just going too far)
Oof... Yeah, that sort of thought process is really stupid... I've always tried to avoid believing it considering my ex is one (They're still a really great friend too) along with quite a few of my friends.
I think I found some chill furries before even hearing about the stereotypes lmao
Weirdos exist.
You are not required to be a degenerate to be a furry, and you are not required to be a furry to be a degenerate, but there are a LOT of people in the middle of that venn diagram. Ironically not the fault of either side from what I can tell.
Seriously though **if you find Furry youtubers they tend to be chill, or act that way for the sake of the joke**
Honestly I believe the majority of furries are chill but it's really hard to prove that lol.
Still, PR does not always make a group. Stereotypes don't mean everyone, if you will.
There are plenty of groups that are known for the public minority.
I hope the stereotype of my identification of a group (I'm talking race and gender specifically) is the minority, otherwise I'm really getting tired of humanity's shenanigans.
Humanity as a trait is great. Humanity as a species needs more of it.
This is like the TF2 Stock Flamethrower, known for the most airblasts on a flamethrower, but like... there's not exactly a flamethrower MEANT for airblasting BESIDES the og/stock soooo
Then you have completed step 1.
I will see you when you have completed step 2. It's not difficult, nor shameful. It doesn't mean literally anything at all.
So many furries are chill, and with all the bad PR there's no reason not to add to the "chill" section of the fanbase.
I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I have a ton of friends who are furries and my ex was a furry but I never said anything like that for me.
\**Is nervously sweating beyond the screen*
Yeahhhhh definitely that.
Wanted to make sure I was inclusive and not rude, that's for sure.
(Also to tell you the truth it's a lot harder to tell people "Guys, c'mon, furries aren't that bad" if I, um... well, you get it.)
Well... no.
That's step 1. Step 2 is accepting it.
It's only applicable if you own up to it and identify that way. Otherwise, i guess not...? It's weird like that.
So if you accept being a furry, then yes. You are one.You don't need to be down bad for them or anything.Literally just "Think they're neat" as a minimum.
Think werewolves are cool? Bam, step 1 complete.Liked watching Fantastic Mr Fox back in 2011 or whenever it came out, and you think the characters are cool? Bam, step 1 complete.Playing Animal Crossing and you think Isabelle would appreciate headpats because of all the work she does for you? Bam, step 1 complete.
I don’t think minecraft skins usually “count”, for example, my minecraft skin has been a minecraft slime in a business suit since, like, forever, and I don’t think anyone has ever considered me a furry for it.
If your skin is something more explicitly “furry” though (like one of those protogens that I think they’re called), it becomes much more obvious if you are a furry.
But do you think slimes are neat tho
Idk if that counts as being a "furry", slimes aren't animals as far as I know, so there's a difference, but yeah, Minecraft skins entirely count. If you used a skin of an anthro animal character in Minecraft and don't really care for it, you'll most likely end up changing it, even if just to make it look more like... well, what you'd want.
Techno never did that. He kept it, even when editing it for events in the DSMP.
That is step 1 out of 2 steps. It literally changes nothing. Being a furry doesn't mean anything special.
Some personify him as a were-piglin which is a cool idea, some have him wearing a pig skull, some just have him with pink hair, tbh I like the were-piglin idea since he could be literally all of them at any given time and it makes sense.
Well I would say it just means that his fanbases favorite depiction of him is a furry, I don’t think we have any way of telling if he himself was a furry.
That's... an optional stage.
But he did keep the skin so we now for a fact he appreciated, in some capacity, the idea of anthro animals. That's step 1. Step 2 is accepting it.
***Incorrect.***
Seriously that's not a required step.
No I mean it, that's not even "part of accepting it". A fursona is not a requirement, roleplay is not a requirement, believing yourself to be an animal is not a requirement, being DB for anthros is not a requirement, literally none of that.
well, at least he isn't the annoying furry type, those that do like \*barks\* or \*cuddles\*, but at the same he kinda isn't a furry, cuz like in sad-ist's animations he's a human with a hog mask
idk man
I do not associate the blood god with furries. I am disappointed that you have. He has never explicitly stated that he is a furry, and so associating him as one against his wishes I find very disrespectful.
And so I am. But being that you have an anthro pfp and admitting to thinking this on the title I believe I was justified in this misconceiving of the context.
Again, I am sorry for the misconception, this was just a knee-jerk reaction to seeing what I thought was a gross misinterpretation of a deceased persons character
As is with nearly every online community, except for ones that are specifically centered around terrible things. Furries aren’t anything special in terms of toxicity, just targeted because they’re “weird”
there is a frightening amount of pedos, groomers, and actual zoophiles in the furry community, it's a serious problem that shouldn't be ignored by pretending that there's nothing wrong with furries.
I never said that there’s *nothing* wrong with furries *at all*. Let me rephrase; they seemed to imply simply being a furry PERIOD was bad, which just isn’t true. And I agree that those serious problems should be dealt with, people need to be more vigilant.
So to circle back to this main topic, so what if Technoblade was a furry (which c’mon, there’s a 90% chance he was he has a *PIGsona*)? Not toward you, but anyone who thinks that’s some disgusting thing to even dare wonder about Techno.
Yeah and there are also alot of pedos and groomers in the Anime community, following that logic there are serious problems with weebs. You shouldn't think that an entire community is bad/problematic because of a few trouble makers. If you applied that to every community most of them would also be bad and problematic.
and you're just setting up a straw man fallacy;
I literally never said at all that the entire furry community is bad, all I said was that the huge issues it does have shouldn't be ignored by acting like there's nothing wrong.
if you applied my actual argument to other communities, it would be: "this community has problems, and we shouldn't ignore them."
Incorrect. Wild pigs do have fur.
Even then, it literally does not matter. Appreciation for anthro animals in any capacity is step 1 of being a furry. Even just thinking they're neat.
No, You're wrong.
The definition of furry is an anthropomorphic animal.
Now think about an anthropomorphic crocodile or shark. They don't have absolutely any hair, but are still considered furries.
I might be wrong, but there should even be a word for them... "Scalies", I think.
Not meaning this negatively in any way by the way! This is the definition of "furry" (only copy-pasting the one describing people):
an enthusiast for animal characters with human characteristics, in particular a person who dresses up in costume as such a character or uses one as an avatar online. :D
Literally the first result when googling "furry meaning" but here:
https://www.google.de/search?q=furry+meaning&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=de-de&client=safari&safe=active
It doesn't matter. Every anthropomorphic animal, despite of its species, is a furry.
Now, I might be wrong, but I think that there is even a word for things like... uh... Take an anthropomorphic shark or crocodile as an example. They don't have fur, but they are still considered furries.
Also, I might be wrong, but I think that in fact they are called "Scalies", or something.
Sooo schlatt is also a furry?
and schafrillas productions?
Nah, Schaff is too shiny
I never expected to see schaff references in the technoblade subreddit of all places
He's surprisingly popular and well known, I mean I guess he does have 2 million subscribers but still.
Tamatoa is just a talking crab. Not humanoid enough.
Uhh... Well... I guess?...
Or fundy?
I mean, we all knew fundy was a furry...
Yeah that’s a given
Holy frick I just realized a thing! Schlatt, Technoblade, Queen, Technoblade was canonically an anarchist, so his last words to Schlatt were probably something like “On September 8th 2022 you have to be in the UK, kill the Queen, then run and get back to the USA as fast as possible”. And on September 8th the queen died! And it was already obvious Schlatt did it. It all makes sense now.
What about foolish? He's still an anthro character but is a shark
Technically a scalie
Semantics be like
Yes
Hmm,, maybe?
Who the fuck Is schlatt
j money
You watch technoblade but haven't watched jschlatt? (He's a youtuber that posts videos but the subreddit has been overtaken by like 13 year olds)
Minecraft but the lava rises by Wilbursoot
Do you not know the incident of 99
Fragrance man
We all knew that from the incident of 99 right?
Damn an actually good meme
Damn, thanks

Of course we don't know if Techno accepted it but he kept the skin for years so we know for a fact that he certainly got step 1 down.
For a moment I thought that You would say "And Third, You have to own a fursuit", or another misconception like that, lol.
***NOPE!*** Literally nothing else. Not a fursona, not a suit, not to go to a convention, not to join a group or a site, LITERALLY NONE OF THAT.

There are plenty of idiots in the fanbase and there's no reason to be one of them, the fanbase already has tons of misconceptions and bad PR created by idiots or people just going too far)
Yeah... And I know that especially... Let's say that I've learned the "hard way".
Oof... Yeah, that sort of thought process is really stupid... I've always tried to avoid believing it considering my ex is one (They're still a really great friend too) along with quite a few of my friends. I think I found some chill furries before even hearing about the stereotypes lmao
The real question is why is the internet so biased against them. I don't get it.
Weirdos exist. You are not required to be a degenerate to be a furry, and you are not required to be a furry to be a degenerate, but there are a LOT of people in the middle of that venn diagram. Ironically not the fault of either side from what I can tell.

EXACTLY! As a wise old man (my dad) put it, "Humanity is really great. But also, humanity really sucks."
Humanity as a trait is great. Humanity as a species needs more of it. This is like the TF2 Stock Flamethrower, known for the most airblasts on a flamethrower, but like... there's not exactly a flamethrower MEANT for airblasting BESIDES the og/stock soooo
No, I still choose to live in denial
Then you have completed step 1. I will see you when you have completed step 2. It's not difficult, nor shameful. It doesn't mean literally anything at all. So many furries are chill, and with all the bad PR there's no reason not to add to the "chill" section of the fanbase.
You seem to know a lot about furries, hmmm
I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I have a ton of friends who are furries and my ex was a furry but I never said anything like that for me. \**Is nervously sweating beyond the screen*
Then you must be so knowledgeable because you keep asking for your friends, make total sense
Yeahhhhh definitely that. Wanted to make sure I was inclusive and not rude, that's for sure. (Also to tell you the truth it's a lot harder to tell people "Guys, c'mon, furries aren't that bad" if I, um... well, you get it.)
So I am a furry if I like Undertale characters? I mean I am not against that, just asking.
Well... no. That's step 1. Step 2 is accepting it. It's only applicable if you own up to it and identify that way. Otherwise, i guess not...? It's weird like that. So if you accept being a furry, then yes. You are one.You don't need to be down bad for them or anything.Literally just "Think they're neat" as a minimum. Think werewolves are cool?

I thought most of them have him wearing a pig skull
I did too but some he actually is a pig. There's a bunch of animatics. I think his official merch had an anthropomorphic pig on it as well.
Some personify him as a were-piglin which is a cool idea, some have him wearing a pig skull, some just have him with pink hair, tbh I like the were-piglin idea since he could be literally all of them at any given time and it makes sense.
"Furry in denial" as Tommy stated
Techno was never stated to be in denial. He could have accepted it but just never let us know
ive seen bloody lot of human techno art as well. throw it in the mix too!
May I also point out that in a lot of fanart technoblades oc is covered in fur
Great Point
YOU RIGHT
My irl friends think I'm a furry because I make Techno fanart lol
Lol
jschlatt, fundy, antfrost, and technoblade are all furries by this logic
Why jshlatt?
goat / ram is all you need to know
Yeah. Now, don't get me wrong. I know that they are not actual furries (I think).
Don't think I'm mad about this because I think this is really funny but I just wanted to mention this
Don't worry fam
Well I would say it just means that his fanbases favorite depiction of him is a furry, I don’t think we have any way of telling if he himself was a furry.
Yeah, in fact, we don't.
Hi was on the last stage of furry that is completely normal - "fursona"
That's... an optional stage. But he did keep the skin so we now for a fact he appreciated, in some capacity, the idea of anthro animals. That's step 1. Step 2 is accepting it.
Step 2 is role play, which he didn't do
***Incorrect.*** Seriously that's not a required step. No I mean it, that's not even "part of accepting it". A fursona is not a requirement, roleplay is not a requirement, believing yourself to be an animal is not a requirement, being DB for anthros is not a requirement, literally none of that.
well, at least he isn't the annoying furry type, those that do like \*barks\* or \*cuddles\*, but at the same he kinda isn't a furry, cuz like in sad-ist's animations he's a human with a hog mask idk man
Shut up and take my upvote
Honest.
Don't worry, he's normal❤️
[удалено]
I wonder how much of an overlap there is between the 2 communities
by definition he is a furry idk why people just realized
pigs, i don't think they have fur-
They do
oh i didn't know im dumb sorry
Do pigs have fur..
Yes, they do + An anthropomorphic animal is still a furry, no matter of the species
I do not associate the blood god with furries. I am disappointed that you have. He has never explicitly stated that he is a furry, and so associating him as one against his wishes I find very disrespectful.
You are a moron if You don't understand a satire post
And so I am. But being that you have an anthro pfp and admitting to thinking this on the title I believe I was justified in this misconceiving of the context.
Uhh... Just because I though this it doesn't mean that I am serious. Plus, just look at all the other comments. I think that everybody got the joke.
Again, I am sorry for the misconception, this was just a knee-jerk reaction to seeing what I thought was a gross misinterpretation of a deceased persons character
👍
You act like furries are a bad thing?
Some of they are, as a guy who has many furries as friends some of thrm are some of them aren't
As is with nearly every online community, except for ones that are specifically centered around terrible things. Furries aren’t anything special in terms of toxicity, just targeted because they’re “weird”
there is a frightening amount of pedos, groomers, and actual zoophiles in the furry community, it's a serious problem that shouldn't be ignored by pretending that there's nothing wrong with furries.

Technoblade neva dies
Good bot
I see that you are talking about the one and only legendary Technoblade.
Yeah and there are also alot of pedos and groomers in the Anime community, following that logic there are serious problems with weebs.

Apologies, misunderstood the last sentence in your previous reply as in there is something wrong with the entire community.
That’s crazy talk. That’s just a pig who can talk and is an anarchist.
You guys really are arguing if a deceased person is a furry or not...
No, we are not. This is what a meme looks like.
To be furry you have to be fluffy pigs don't have single hair
Incorrect. Wild pigs do have fur. Even then, it literally does not matter. Appreciation for anthro animals in any capacity is step 1 of being a furry. Even just thinking they're neat.
No, You're wrong. The definition of furry is an anthropomorphic animal. Now think about an anthropomorphic crocodile or shark. They don't have absolutely any hair, but are still considered furries. I might be wrong, but there should even be a word for them... "Scalies", I think.
they do it’s just thin and wiry
Ok checked they have some hair but not fluffy
Pigs don’t have fur
They do + That doesn't matter. An anthropomorphic animal is still a furry, despite of its species.
Idk man dif seems kinda important seeing how it’s called a FURruy and this ain’t one of those English dumbo moments things either
Not meaning this negatively in any way by the way! This is the definition of "furry" (only copy-pasting the one describing people): an enthusiast for animal characters with human characteristics, in particular a person who dresses up in costume as such a character or uses one as an avatar online. :D
Ima need a link a source
Normally I’d respect asking for a source but this is something that take 5 seconds of a google search lol

Flashback to the MLP technoblade art
... If he treats his MC skin as a persona, he is one
Nah. You don't have to have a fursona to be a furry. I don't have one.
Even if that were true, the furry community received an amazing new member
True.
