    “Empty my tanks,” I’d begged breathlessly, as once more she began drawing me deep inside her pleasure cave. Her vaginal ratchet moved in concertina-like waves, slowly chugging my organ as a boa constrictor swallows its prey. Soon I was locked in, balls deep, ready to be ground down by the enamelled pepper mill within her.
    She shuffles her head closer to his cock, close enough to smell her own residue, and then takes it in her mouth, with the vague idea of cleaning it. Geoff mirrors this gesture by burying his head between her legs, and gradually she can feel his cock pumping up with blood, one pulse at a time, until it is long and hard and filling her wide-open mouth. They stay in this position for a long time, Anna sucking and slurping with the same lazy persistence you’d use on a gobstopper or a stick of rock. Eventually she loses her sense of the context altogether – of what she is doing or who she is with or where they are – and becomes an empty vessel for what feels like disembodied consciousness. She looks at the window and wonders how the glass feels encased within its wooden frame, what the shaggy clouds feel like being blown across the sky, what the walls felt like being splattered and smeared with wet paint …

    And so on

    The 'winner' is announced on Monday

    It's like someone went onto /r/BadWomenAnatomy and used all the posts to make the least sexy thing possible in the universe. JFC.

    Hey now, dont kink shame. The first is clearly a guy fantasizing about his subconscious desire to fuck his car. It's not his fault he doesnt know this about himself.

    The second is a disgusting, veiled rape fantasy, so yeah, fuck that shit.

    Wha? The second one is not a rape fantasy, it's pretty clearly someone just completely uninterested in the sex they are having. I actually don't even understand why it's on the list since the whole thing is very obviously deliberately unsexy.

    Reading the description of the book itself, afterwords it becomes even more obvious.

    Dad has furry daughter, decides to support her by having a fursuit made so he can join her at cons.





    Wait...theres something...familiar about that design...



    Yes - to support his daughter, Violent J of the ICP had a custom fursuit done with his distinctive face design incorporated.

    This is not Bad News, but it is definitely Gone Right.

    Sorry, but a man writing about a women becoming an empty vessel during sex just set off some alarm bells in my head and I might have interpreted it in the worst way possible. I am glad to know I am wrong, thank you.

    Gizmodo has a good interview with Violent J about supporting his daughter after the two put out a video going after an unscrupulous fursuit maker. He makes a really interesting comparison between the furry community and his own fandom:
    VJ: I told Ruby, whatever my kids are into, I’m going to support it, like, as hard as I can. And she’s into furries. And I didn’t know anything about furries, but Ruby taught me everything about them. I felt ashamed because I was like everybody else—I was making fun of furries too. But now I realize furries are a lot like juggalos—the people that follow our music—they’re alike in a bunch of ways. And now I support furries and I support what they’re doing to the fullest.

    But seriously, that's an awesome example to set for your kids. With increasing polarization of seemingly every possible stripe and subject, the world needs more people that respect others and their freedom to make their own choices for their own reasons.

    Its honestly more than a kink. Just the fetishised part of it is the only part of the furry community that the general populus knows or cares about

    Fursuiters (which are only a portion of furries) often do things like go to children's hospitals to entertain kids the same as a Disney mascot would.

    There's plenty of WTF because they're *people*, but never confuse mass media-worthy stuff with the whole story.

    It's pretty much seems now to be a 'homebrew Disney' LARPing community, but one that seems incredibly accepting of pretty much anyone given public perception of it's origins and them as a group. And that itself seems to have gotten it a fair few converts.

    Isn’t furdom a wide ranging thing? Like sure, there’s a sizeable kink base, but there’s a tonne who just like wearing animal outfits.

    At this point I'm kind of wondering what sets it apart - if any - from regular cosplay? And would it benefit it to simply call it that, or is it vital to have this specific name for this specific subsection?

    There's so many bloody ways this discussion could go, and I'm kind of scared to even bring it up. But the reality is that every other form of cosplay is more or less accepted and legitimized (or at the very least, nobody bats an eye at your average Comic-Con costumer), and 9 times out of 10 when you say the word "furry" people typically go straight to the kink version. So just call the benign version cosplay.

    The difference between Cosplay and Fursuits is that when you Cosplay you're dressing up as a fictional character from a media while most fursuits are designed around the person wearing it's original character.

    Obvious overlap but the difference is there.

    The one where the woman is asleep, on the other hand. There'd better be some very clear consent in that story.

    Also the one where the woman dissociates during sex, wtf (again, unless it's clearly called out as such).

    edit: wait I think the dissociation one is the same one you were talking about; oops

    fake edit 2: although the fact that at least two of us had the same reaction to it...

    fake edit 3: maybe the awards should be limited to sex scenes that are unintentionally bad

    The furry "thing" is going since the early 90s at least. At least that's when I started going on mailboxes pre-internet, and it was there already iirc.

    I mean, I also made fun of them often, but I don't anymore. If it's not a kink, it's just people enjoying their time without hurting anyone.

    And if it's done by people into kinky stuff- I don't kinkshame as long as it's between consenting mentally able and grown consciousnesses.

    I’m retry certain the reason furries get targeted more than every other fandom is that the art/characters they make are just straight uncanny valley material. They don’t have the cute or harmless factor most cosplays and actual animal mascots have. I can’t tell why though.

    I don't think it needs its own thread, since it's really just about awareness about what actually goes on in a fandom - Atlas in Chains' post above is no different than someone giving you the stink-eye after you say you like video games, because they think the entirety of VG fandom is Mortal Kombat/Halo/GTA/ ultra-violent murder simulators, and you just admitted to spending your down time performing fatalities on prostitutes.

    Simply because most fursuits are made by amateurs, probably. Same reason so many (cheap) Easter Bunny costumes are downright terrifying.

    My post was entirely a joke about not wanting my dad involved in my sex life. Stink-eye would imply some form of judgement on my part towards furries, when there is none. It simply encompasses more than I knew about yesterday.

    A giant Christmas tree being transported on top of a van on a dual carriageway has left police lost fir words.

    The image was taken by one of Devon and Cornwall Police's speed camera vans on the A38 on the weekend.

    PC Jane Bickley shared the "shocking" image on Twitter as a warning to other drivers travelling with large loads.
    I can't decide if 'fir' was deliberate, or a beautiful mistake.

    Also, putting a hi-vis jacket on the end of the tree just elevates this to art.

    Things went as expected:
    According to the local news station, police and medics responded to get the crowds under control as DoorDash delivery people flooded The Cheesecake Factory location. Police were called after a fight reportedly broke out in the restaurant. They arrived to discover "an unruly crowd of delivery drivers inside the restaurant, trying to pick up orders, and a rash of double parking around the Clarendon area," though there was not a fight going on at the time.

    It gets better. In order to get the money, Milo did what any internet savvy Millenial would - set up a Patreon account.

    He was booted off in less than a day.
    Patreon tweeted that the profile was suspended because the website doesn’t “allow association with or supporting hate groups.” While Yiannopoulos never openly called himself a white supremacist, leaked emails published last year linked him with white nationalists, as did a video in which he sang karaoke at a party with neo-Nazi Richard Spencer while the crowd gave Nazi salutes. He also previously associated with the Proud Boys, who are designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group.
