Yeah idk what this is from but I love how realistic this scene is, it takes a moment to register in his head, he repeats it briefly to make sure he heard right, and when it finally connects, he cracks up
Most of the stuff with more anatomically correct proportions is of female characters, and the biggest artists in the Fandom draw female characters.
With male characters, you more often find exaggerated proportions.
The furry Fandom is mostly men, but gauging the straightness or gayness of the Fandom probably isn't very accurate if going by porn numbers. That's only gauging the artists, ratings on posts would be more accurate, and than judging the target demographic of the art.
Like exaggerated proportions on female characters are probably more geared towards men or drawn by men, while more proportionate proportions on female characters are probably drawn and geared towards women. Same with male characters. This isn't a hard rule of course, making it a hard metric to judge as well without an actual survey on what kind of porn each demographic likes.
And then cut a part of that chunk for the ladies who are only interested in other ladies. Sorry straight guys, you gotta step up the game and be true chads if you wanna get that tiny portion of the ladies that like guys in the fandom.
Yes, but mostly men. Another way to see this is the disparity between gay/lesbian works: there are 605k posts tagged 'male/male' on e621, but only 120k tagged 'female/female'.Ā
e621 tagging there would leave out any art feat. a girl with a penis, but that's covered by 'gynomorph/female' and 'gynomorph/gynomorph', which are 40k and 12k respectively... so, even adding those all together(and not accounting for overlap which probably realistically make the final number slightly lower) we get 152k, so still not even a third as many posts as 'male/male'.
'male/female', by the way, is 790k. Having both male/female and male/male far outnumber lesbian images to me pretty clearly suggests a high amount of straight, bisexual, and gay men... but relatively few women. If women were equally represented in the demographics you'd expect to see a similar amount of lesbian art as gay male art, but it's simply not the case.
Actually itās the exact opposite. studies show that women are more likely (60/40ā80/20) to engage in artistic practices like drawing and fan fiction writing. Women are also by far more likely to write fanfiction involving men, especially gay man (about 60/40 again) meaning the reason there are so many fan fictions and creations involving male relationships are because they are popular with female creators.

We're not talking about fandom in general(and not really talking about fanfic at all, which is broadly not very popular amongst furries), we're talking about furry fandom specifically. If you were to talk about many other fandoms it would be a dramatically different story due to the numbers you mentioned.
As a looooongtime straight member of the furry community, every time this is brought up I can't help but roll my eyes a bit. It's a classic case of straight people who don't normally participate in LGBTQ spaces being shocked when the representation is actually... balanced? Because that's what the furry community really is.
Balanced.
There's still a larger percentage of straight content in the fandom than any other type of content across the whole sexuality spectrum. It's just so much more well-balanced, especially in contrast to fandoms of things like specific TV shows, anime and video games, where popular sentiment always takes over eventually. "Furry" is such a broad fandom that everyone gets a piece. But when you fail to blacklist your tags or wander into the more niche circles of the furry community and more than 50% of any one page can feel like it's overwhelmingly gay, that's just cognitive bias on your part.
The fandom IS hella gay but it's also hella straight, bi, pan, queer and everything around and in between. It's also super political and problematic and weird and gross and safe and sane and kind and mean and I could go on and on but that's kinda the point. It's too big and all-encompassing to water down to any singular thing.
Iād add another thing, that being that I wonder if thereās a correlation between how involved in the broader furry community you are and how Queer you are.
Like I am a straight man, and my furry involvement is largely limited to playing as Anthros in video games and DnD, posting and commenting here, and the porn. But I have no interest in anything that happens at cons, I do not want a fursuit, and I donāt even have a dedicated fursona. I sometimes wonder if I even fully qualify as a āfurryā.
Well, itās more of a taste in both genders, it depends on who you want to be with, man or woman, it doesnāt really matter if youāre bi or not tbh, you just love a person and want to spend the rest of your life with them, thatās all that matters in the long run
While bisexual doesnāt really get split into romance vs lust like when people specify aro/ace vs one of the two, it doesnāt mean it canāt be. You can swing both ways in the sheets and only see yourself having one or the other as a partner for life. You can be Demi for one side and not the other.
The only person who can decide who and how you interact with other consenting adults is yourself. Embrace it.
There are many straight people. In fact I would say that there are almost as many straight men as straight women. But almost every straight or bisexual woman I know tends to keep to herself and not interact with the fandom much.
Surely there's a reason but I can't put my finger on it. š¤
I know this is the dumbest thing to say but it really feels like I'm not welcome in the furry community because I'm straight. For every heterosexual post or whatever there's thirty more homosexual ones and it makes it feel like I'm intruding in a place I don't belong.
Edit: I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything. I won't delete this because then others would be missing context. I'll try to think about what I actually say next time. Sorry for complaining about an issue that never existed.
id appreciate more posts for our lovely furry men... my taste in furry women isn't exactly what most folks here enjoy, but I'll take it. I make my own content on the side anyway
I don't even know what I meant with that reply. I think I meant like, "yeah lots of people want women, but how many of those people are also homosexual". The whole thing just came out wrong
I do understand what you mean, but even in that case why does it matter? I get that you feel under represented in the furry community. But I promise you that you're wrong. For instance, look on E621. There are more images that are M/F than there are M/M or F/F. (F/F is like only 20% of either.)
So what I think is happening is that straight furries just tend to be lurkers, because the furry fandom sort of started with being very sexually open and supportive.
I promise you that you're not alone in being straight. You literally out number queers by a lot.
Also I suggest either deleting or editing/rewording that comment I had replied to, because it doesn't paint you in the best light.
Like I already said in other replies, I see now that I'm a privileged person complaining I don't have complete dominance in something. I tend to ruin the things I enjoy and always make them worse for everyone.
I won't be changing the comment because it shows I'm trying to hide what I said, and I'm tired of constantly trying to make myself look better for nobody.
Fair enough. I think you're being a little hard on yourself though. You didn't do anything wrong by posting your initial comment. It's fine to feel the way you felt, and even agree that the vast majority of posts I see around tend to be about queer culture or have commenters talking about it.
I just wanted you to know that you'll always be welcome in the furry community even if you're not queer yourself. The whole point of this community is to be who you want to be but can't irl. That goes for you too.
Well yeah I will admit loser city is mostly straight but everywhere else heavily leans towards homosexuality. And an island in an ocean isn't much. Idk I'm probably complaining over nothing.
What is everywhere else? The only popular furry sub is furry_irl which isn't even entirely gay either. I've never used Furaffinity but I'm sure there's plenty of other straight furries there, and you can blacklist what you don't like.
Furry Twitter just sucks in general, don't use it even if you're gay. And TikTok is usually just people dancing in fursuits or making silly skits.
You shouldn't apologize. You can't control how you feel, you can only recontexualize what makes you feel that way and try to manage it.
I wasn't arguing either or trying to make you feel dumb, I'm just trying to understand what makes you feel this way.
I don't think there's less straight furry Nsfw subs, because there's a ton of straight content on e6, maybe even more than gay. But I can't say for certain because I'm gay and I've never looked for that.
The most popular yiff subreddits that arenāt explicitly gay have majority straight posts, though many of the people who comment may not be necessarily.
It adds to my own hypothesis that thereās a ton of people who crank it to furry porn but arenāt involved in the fandom in any way
outcast probably isn't the right word, but lesbians are a huge minority in a fandom oriented towards gay men. Not a bad thing, and obviously nobody's going to discriminate against me for my sexuality, but the same thing goes for straight furries
It is absolutely not oriented towards gay men, it's most oriented towards straight men, bi/bi-curious guys, and trans women. However lesbians make up an enormous minority, saying you feel like an outcast is absurd.
I watched a recent video about furries that explained that furries are basically frats for gay guys, but instead of hazing rituals thereās orgies. I wonder how true that is.
Definitely not true. That's a large portion of the fandom but more for the convention side of things. You can be a furry without ever going to a con, ever owning a suit, or like me not even having a fursona.
I personally don't mind those types, but it sucks because they have no connection to being a furry, they just see cons as a space for kinky sex costume parties and making onlyfans videos.
That wouldn't be a problem if they weren't actively taking up con space, flaunting their kinks in non-adult spaces...
I can only speak to my own experience but I've been a furry for 20 years, and it depends what circles you run in. It's especially prevalent in the furry convention scenes, maybe less so at the smaller meet-ups (depending on context. Some are chatting over coffee and public fursuit walks, but other meet-ups and events are more 'specialist', like Club Animalz) but much of the sexual stuff happens behind closed doors and telegram groups, and isn't necessary the primary purpose of the event.
There is certainly a social ladder that many furries try to climb, and sexual proclivity is sometimes a means to that end. The majority of furries are male and identify as somewhere within the LGBTQ+ spectrum, so it's little wonder that male homosexual experiences dominate the landscape of furry sexuality.
That all being said, you will hear less from the people concerned with achieving social status through sexual conquest, and there are many furries who aren't interested in hookupw, just going about their business.
I've always been on the outside looking in on those circles. It looks messy and chaotic, but I guess it's exciting for some people. It was never for me.
Iām all for personal expression, but it does seem a little oversaturated, doesnāt it.
Whatās worse is the huge distinction and slight discrimination between the popular influencers in the culture and regular people at conventions.
Havenāt been to one and probably wonāt, but Iāve heard it can be bad. The exclusivity and elitism all because they have the money to afford a really expensive animal pelt essentially to wear.
Oh yeah the most-oppressed people that exist. Straight people...
Funny because especially here in losercity it feels more like every art here is straight and nothing is queer. And I'm pretty sure this is how it's really is.
You're right I'm sorry. I'm not sure why I even spoke up. I'm one trait away from being part of the historically most privileged group in society and I'm getting pissy that I'm not allowed in one space.
I mean I can understand your frustration. I just often heard that point in bad faith from others but you dont seem to be bad faith.
I'm queer and I feel like that sometimes as well but just replace straight with queer in your post and thats how many queer people feel nearly everywhere. Its way more common that queer people arent welcomed and less common that this happens to straight people and when we build or own spaces straight people feel obligated to exclude us again I have a pretty fitting meme for that feeling.
I personally am a bigger fan of mixed spaces and dont interact with things you dont like but sometimes some assholes destroy these places as well and its really frustrating.
From going to conventions and talking to the lesbian friends that I roomed with at them, I can attest to the fact that a majority of the furry community is male.
Both from my own anecdotal evidence of observing who is present at the con and from asking my lady friends if they felt that they were in a male dominated space.
Women in thr furry fandom are treated like goon material at best and subhuman trash at worst, its not hard to see why they probably wouldnt want to date inside such a fandom
It is truly so sad, the only straight couples Iāve seen In the fandom were conversions. A.k.a straight furry meeting a regular woman and they get invested in the same crowd by the ionizing furry radiation.
The few girls I met were all already taken, on the other hand I had so many gay friends admit their crush on me which makes me feel bad for saying no :(
You see, i would love to date someone but at the same time i also feel really vad about approaching literally anyone with that intention, no idea why really.
Also i somehow keep surrounding myself with gay femboy-lites...
Got into the furry stuff 3 months ago as a straight guy and also wondered how pretty much no one else seems to be straight. As it turned out I'm bi. If you can't beat em, join em I guess.
As a straight furry I don't feel out of place in the fandom as much as I feel envious. Like damn look at all of you LGBT furries and your relationships and connection. Happy that it is a safe space for you though.
yeah well when I was single I felt like a piece of meat, suddenly a lot of good friends confessed their love for me so I started to think they only befriended me so they could make their move the moment I turned single.. all I want is genuine friendship. I'm tired boss

REALLLL
Im a little confused, surely thereās a lot of straight people in the furry community, right?
Think about how many entries for
femalethere are on the funny blue pageThereās an equal amount of posts tagged female and male.
Meanwhile F/M posts (790K) outnumber M/M posts (605K) and F/F posts (120K)
The horses are getting to all the lesbians we need to protect them someone please call Shadow

Didn@t know there was 120k posts for Final Fantasy
God damn! That M/M posts to F/M posts is surprisingly high. I guess furries are just that gay.
Funny, because sorting by most liked posts shows mostly M/M content
To be fair, you don't have to be gay to like M/M - plenty of straight girls like yaoi the same way straight guys like yuri.
Touche
Then remember that Bisexuals and Lesbians exist
Funny blue?
At most 30% of furry are ladies
And then cut a part of that chunk for the ladies who are only interested in other ladies. Sorry straight guys, you gotta step up the game and be true chads if you wanna get that tiny portion of the ladies that like guys in the fandom.
Swing for the fences.
There are also sum trans ones there, some don't really like that.
Yes, but mostly men. Another way to see this is the disparity between gay/lesbian works: there are 605k posts tagged 'male/male' on e621, but only 120k tagged 'female/female'.Ā

-not really talking about fanfic at all, which is broadly not very popular amongst furries
Source?
That disparity might suggest the opposite. You're assuming everyone just consumes content depicting their own relationship style
Huh, I wonder how that came to be, are women less active in the furry community?
As a looooongtime straight member of the furry community, every time this is brought up I can't help but roll my eyes a bit.

Furry in spirit, brother
If I recall hearing, the "dominant" demographic is bi/pan on the fandom. Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong.
Yes, a lot, and 99.97% of them are guys.
In general if you enter many furry ERP places, like 8 out of 10 people will be guys.
I am bisexual so Iām kinda half straight?
Well, itās more of a taste in both genders, it depends on who you want to be with, man or woman, it doesnāt really matter if youāre bi or not tbh, you just love a person and want to spend the rest of your life with them, thatās all that matters in the long run
While bisexual doesnāt really get split into romance vs lust like when people specify aro/ace vs one of the two, it doesnāt mean it canāt be. You can swing both ways in the sheets and only see yourself having one or the other as a partner for life. You can be Demi for one side and not the other.

I remember Wikipedia said furries were 70%-80% lgbt
Yes, I am one of them
As a VRChat user, no...
There are many straight people. In fact I would say that there are almost as many straight men as straight women. But almost every straight or bisexual woman I know tends to keep to herself and not interact with the fandom much.
Surely there's a reason but I can't put my finger on it. š¤

I mean I support you guys but c'monnn I like boysss lemme have some too!!

I mean yeah if you don't have the balls I doubt you could make maleslop

I know this is the dumbest thing to say but it really feels like I'm not welcome in the furry community because I'm straight. For every heterosexual post or whatever there's thirty more homosexual ones and it makes it feel like I'm intruding in a place I don't belong.

Well here in Losercity everyone's thirsty for furry women, so you've found the right place
And how many of those are lesbian, bi, pan, trans, or otherwise part of the LGBTQIA+ community?
What does it matter as long as you share their love of furry women? You're welcome in Losercity regardless of orientation
id appreciate more posts for our lovely furry men... my taste in furry women isn't exactly what most folks here enjoy, but I'll take it. I make my own content on the side anyway
That doesn't matter?
Oh you are actually low key homophobic, that explains it.
... Yeesh.
I don't even know what I meant with that reply. I think I meant like, "yeah lots of people want women, but how many of those people are also homosexual". The whole thing just came out wrong
I do understand what you mean, but even in that case why does it matter? I get that you feel under represented in the furry community. But I promise you that you're wrong. For instance, look on E621. There are more images that are M/F than there are M/M or F/F. (F/F is like only 20% of either.)

I just wanted you to know that you'll always be welcome in the furry community even if you're not queer yourself. The whole point of this community is to be who you want to be but can't irl. That goes for you too.
Isn't that just what losercity is for then? The vast majority of furry posts are for straight guys.

Just about every other furry subreddit feels like that and especially the nsfw ones.

St least one third of furries are straight. Gay people are just more vocal because they got no other places.
as a lesbian, trust me, you're not alone. It feels like if you're not a gay man in the fandom you're an outcast
You think you are an outcast in the furry community as a LESBIAN?????? HUH???
outcast probably isn't the right word, but lesbians are a huge minority in a fandom oriented towards gay men. Not a bad thing, and obviously nobody's going to discriminate against me for my sexuality, but the same thing goes for straight furries

While there is a lot more lgbtq people in furry fandom, everyone is welcome
So dw, you do belong no matter who you are

Oh yeah the most-oppressed people that exist. Straight people...
Funny because especially here in losercity it feels more like every art here is straight and nothing is queer. And I'm pretty sure this is how it's really is.
And despite that I bet the majority of this sub is bi/pan
Probably. I'm bi for example lol.

You're right I'm sorry. I'm not sure why I even spoke up. I'm one trait away from being part of the historically most privileged group in society and I'm getting pissy that I'm not allowed in one space.
Dude you are allowed to have an opinion lol you dont need to apologize you weren't even rude or anything.
I mean I can understand your frustration. I just often heard that point in bad faith from others but you dont seem to be bad faith.
I'm queer and I feel like that sometimes as well but just replace straight with queer in your post and thats how many queer people feel nearly everywhere. Its way more common that queer people arent welcomed and less common that this happens to straight people and when we build or own spaces straight people feel obligated to exclude us again I have a pretty fitting meme for that feeling.
I personally am a bigger fan of mixed spaces and dont interact with things you dont like but sometimes some assholes destroy these places as well and its really frustrating.
This is what happens to queers fuckin everywhere.

Unironically, what on earth are you talking about? Like, on any level?
From going to conventions and talking to the lesbian friends that I roomed with at them, I can attest to the fact that a majority of the furry community is male.
Both from my own anecdotal evidence of observing who is present at the con and from asking my lady friends if they felt that they were in a male dominated space.
Not as hard as an ace male furry. Everyone is so horny.
Aroace and not a furry, I'm just here for the show
Polar express is probably the best Christmas movie every made

Straight furries are made of bombs thatās why you canāt find em, they explode from too much stimulation.
That doesnāt even get into what percentage of the women are trans
this is how it be especially when so many AMAZING artists just never draw straight female characters
Maybe all the straight furry women are in Ohio? A friend of mine keeps encountering them on dating apps. (He didnāt want to)
Yeah, but then you gotta move to Ohio
it's all "YURI YURI YAOI YAOI YURICODED YAOI CODED YURI YURI YAOI YAOI" but never "GAY" or "LESBIAN"
Women in thr furry fandom are treated like goon material at best and subhuman trash at worst, its not hard to see why they probably wouldnt want to date inside such a fandom
It is truly so sad, the only straight couples Iāve seen In the fandom were conversions. A.k.a straight furry meeting a regular woman and they get invested in the same crowd by the ionizing furry radiation.
Is this not true love?
Okay I need that. u/savevideo

Thank god for bisexuals amirite
The few girls I met were all already taken, on the other hand I had so many gay friends admit their crush on me which makes me feel bad for saying no :(
The furry Fandom is actually mostly straight, it's just mostly men... because all the women get sexually harassed.
What part of the fandom are you referring to? The in person side of the fandom is not nearly mostly straightĀ
From reading the comments here it sounds like the furry fandom is for nobody and everybody simultaneously
You see, i would love to date someone but at the same time i also feel really vad about approaching literally anyone with that intention, no idea why really. Also i somehow keep surrounding myself with gay femboy-lites...
Yāknow, I was straight onceā¦untilā¦the accident
Iām a trans lesbian now lol :3
We love a happy ending :3
I'm not in the fandom for long but yeah dating as a (mostly) straight person is a struggle.
Woody?!?!
Man I love this movie.
We know the struggle.
Never dated in the fandom, but dated someone and she turned out to have been there anyway
I'm a bi does that count
Also POLAR EXPRESS MENTIONED
Got into the furry stuff 3 months ago as a straight guy and also wondered how pretty much no one else seems to be straight. As it turned out I'm bi. If you can't beat em, join em I guess.
the only girls are for the girls :P
My ass lucking out (dragon GF)
Lmao
I have seen fandoms less gayer than the furry ones.
What if I'm bisexual
*that one gif where metro man gets sad and flies away from the observatory (idk how to put tenor gifs here) *
As a straight furry I don't feel out of place in the fandom as much as I feel envious. Like damn look at all of you LGBT furries and your relationships and connection. Happy that it is a safe space for you though.
yeah well when I was single I felt like a piece of meat, suddenly a lot of good friends confessed their love for me so I started to think they only befriended me so they could make their move the moment I turned single.. all I want is genuine friendship. I'm tired boss
Not straight but bi. But I think I'm screwed in terms of dating. I'm shy and don't know how to talk. Am I cooked or am I a overreacting chud
