What the heck is your signature @evan

googled iannis xenakis' drawings to look at as well as his "scores" (he's avant garde so it notably defies western notation and is more akin to geometric shapes, thus the interest) and i came across this. turns out it isn't a xenakis, but a portrait by timm mason, who was supposedly inspired by graphic scores.

Your signature is an abomination. Not the image, but the SIZE.

Ok, there was a really common thread on FAF that popped up every so often asking why furries are gay. Comments first pointed out that "nope, just a plurality", but there is a higher percentage of LGBT people in the fandom compared to society at large. People made funny reasons why, but then fingers were pointed at Mark Merlino's ad in thd gay porn mag. Well, I've seen the ad, and it's just a "contact us for more details at this PO Box" and it was out just a week before CF8, too late for people to do stuff. And CF had always been known as a sleazy con, and the "normal" furries kept leaving.

This makes me wonder then. Why the hell are you furries gay? Is is still Merlino and people like him wanting to make the fandom more inclusive? Or was it that Merlino wanted a sexy-time hang out with his favorite underground sexy animal hobby?

Why furries? Kind of a weird combination. Anthropomorphic animals and gay men. I don't get it. No one seems to have an answer. I don't get why a cartoon animal fandom is so frequently tied with sexual orientation, anyway. It'd be like: "oh, the model train fandom has an unusually large Hindu population within it". It just doesn't make sense to me. I'm glad of the diversity in the fandom, it's one of it's strong points compared to other fandoms, but again...why furry?

Trekkies and other fandoms are pretty weird too, and yet... I'm pretty sure it has to do with animals and cutesy stuff.

I don't know, it started out as just underground comics that were generally risque, like Fritz the Cat. There were prostitute cats, drugs, and breasts in that movie, no fox dong yet. I think it was because of a beginning (and probably a little hypocritical) backlash from the Sci Fi fandom that associated the fandom with bestiality. It hadn't reached that point yet, though. And Merlino was faced with discrimination by bigoted Texas Sci Fi fans. So the fandom kinda became more insular, and said "you know, we're gonna be more accepting than those douchey uptight sci fi fans", so then that led to a more diverse fandom. But then geeks are geeks and they are sometimes TOO accepting, and, well, that's where the bestiality, pedophilia, and rape fetishes come in.

Let's give a hypothetical scenario, say you're little Timmy in like middle school and you've noticed that you're different compared to your fellow students. Not like your necessarily a flaming fairy or something but just kinda branded as "that one weird kid" that every school is obligated by law to have, and seeing as being gay is kinda weird you're probably gonna get put in that category. Naturally the road of a 'weird kid' in grade school is a lonely one and considering that typically in middle/high school ones worth is dictated by how many friends you have that's kind of an issue. Also kids in general are massive assholes so that kinda fucks things up.

For better or worse we live in a world blessed by the magic of the internet so anybody no matter how weird or socially-retarded can find a community that will whole-heartedly accept you, even if they really shouldn't. Furfaggotry historically has a way of seeping its way into virtually every interest under the sun and for also more importantly, accepting anyone. So little Timmy whose at the age where he's starting to explore his sexuality anyways has now found a community of like-minded, sex-obsessed neckbeards willing to tolerate him and provide all the wank material and friends his little hormone-addled brain could ever want.

And then Timmy was a faggot and everyone died the end.

Fuck, that's my life...well except for the gay and the neckbeard, and the sex obsession, and the sexuality...I was the weird kid who discovered the furry fandom, though.
