foxes - why?
Out of curiosity: I see PLENTY of players using "fox" in their nicks. Much more than any other animal, and both here in the forums and when I'm playing. "Vietfox", "Suicidefox", "Kitsune", "狐狸", and a lot of other nicks I've seen using "fox" as their nick or part of it.
What's this guys? What's this obsession with foxes? Why not weasels or opossum? Armadillos are cute too.

Whenever somebody mentions foxes, furries come to my mind.
Furries fcked my mind up.
I just don't want to believe that these users are furries.
I am not judging though but still...

Fluffies are adorable. I always liked them as a child. Those loveable squeaks they do when strangled, those begging, hopeless eyes when their toes are removed by a clipper.
Nowadays I'm mostly into burning them. So interesting to watch how they first freeze, then suddenly become loud and agitated. Very agitated.
Anyway, back to foxes. Any more insight, anyone?0 -

For a second there I thought you put in 狐神 and was surprised that somebody actually saw me in game using that name and remembered it. Though either way, I'm impressed you know what 狐 means.
Personally, I think of foxes as cunning, mischevious, and playful. Personality traits I like to think are similar to my own. Though I'm sure there's a variety of reason people are fans of foxes. The song What Does the Fox Say made them popular meme material. They're adorable enough to be popular on their looks alone. And they're one of the more popular animals in the furry community.

Yeah fair points. I love how they're depicted in Asian folklore: the trickster and rival of the tanuki in Japan, and the Fox Fairies in Chinese tales. And of course here in Europe they have similar reputation like you said.
Still find it weird, gamers often choose nicks referring to strength rather than cunning. I guess it must be the uniqueness of this game, when playing survivor: you can't quite succeed through violence, only through smarts.

Just know they are unpopular for a number of reasons, the more diehard furries communities consist of suspected zoophiles like many weebs are borderline pedophiles.2 -

If you are willing to delve into that rabbit hole do it at home, with an IP blocker, and some idk, like jammers or something.

Furries do it with animals, often with sexual undertones.

That's different. Bestiality (or rather, zoophilia) is the sexual attraction to actual animals.

Why? Even assuming 100% of them are furries, which isn't even close to the truth, what have they done so far to justify fear, confusion, and worry?

He's talking about a Lolicon, not a weeb.
I myself am more of just a viewer of anime. I have some weeb friends though, and they are very nice.

Yeah i should have been more nuanced on this. Of course not every weeb is a borderline pedophile. More like a fringe minority. And yes they are obviously related.Swiftblade131 said:@Orion said:

And yes lolicon is questionable at the very least. Fictional or not it obviously shows your preference is something that is based on kids.0 -

I wish the forum had a downvote system like reddit. Seriously, threatening someone? Not cool, man. Not ######### cool at all.
For the record, if you ever try to come to MY house, furry, and you won't make it through the door.
Geez, he could not possibly be more OBVIOUSLY joking. Or you're willing to believe he'd find out where someone lives and actually flay that person? For calling him a furry?
Some people are so dense. Btw. Threatening on the internet is hilarious. I don't know why is this taken so seriously. Real dangerous people act, not talk, especially not from behind a keyboard.
If you disagree, I'll burn your house down, with you in it.

To be fair... it's a good observation.
Maybe because foxes are cunning and stealthy like survivors?
My name is a combo of Star Fox 64 and Perfect Dark. It's been my name since I was a teen on the N64.
