I was at my local game store and there were some people playing D&D and i noticed there seemed to be a couple, a guy and a girl, and they had these like tail things attached to their belts in the back.
What the hell is that about?
I mean i know what furries are, but they didn't seem like they were furries. More like they were anime dorks but is there an anime that has people with tails?
Kids today are so strange.

Indeed they are, I try not to think about it. I'm 17 and try hard not to think about my generation.

And if they are furries you want to stop your investigation now.
Or jump into the deep end and see what dramatica has to say about furries.

There's a few animes with people with tails, more than I'd care to know. If they were also wearing notably weired cloths then I'd put my money on anime people.
@Soladin: The post wasn't "What is the most disturbing or unusual thing you've ever seen". I think anyone over the age of 16 has seen worse, that doesn't mean that it is not unusual.

These are the same kinds of kids that annoy the hell out of us at our local gamer/sci-fi convention. They have catered a lot to the anime/manga/whatever crew to garner more attendees.
But the best advise is to just let it go. Someone, hopefully fate, will beat these kids around the head and shoulders, metaphorically of course , then they'll get the message.
So there is this group of people who have an unusual hobby that is generally looked down on by other people, and then they see a few other people who have an unusual hobby and they say "Geez, how strange, I mean look at those guys, they are freaks, you better not talk to them, it might be contagious...."
The song you are looking for is 'Body Count - Momma's gotta die tonight'.
Larp doesn't tend to happen in public places that could kick them out during business. It also usually requires more than two people. Only 2 people role playing is a different kind of role playing. If you know what I mean.

I mean sexual.
Well that would help to explain the tails then.
Or maybe they were furries, or anime fans. Its hard to be sure.

I can't see the problem. At least they are happy and confident enough to be individuals. Good on them.
Perhaps we'd prefer they stuck to more normal behaviour; wearing baseball caps and bling jewellery and swinging off bus stops like chimpanzees. No? Thought not.
As noted, one kind of geek looking down on another is always kind of sad.
The kids aren't hurting anyone. If they look a little silly to you, they may just be having fun. All kinds of people dress up funny to express their enjoyment of things.

Well, I think they could have been anime people, or possibly furries.
Meanwhile, does anyone know where I could buy some space corridors and industrial towers?
I think it has something to do with the anime Naruto. Naruto has some sort of 9 tailed demon fox spirit in him or something. Sometimes the spirit comes out and manifests physically giving Naruto claws, fangs, and many tails. Supposedly the more tails that come out the closer he gets to being taken completly over by the 9 tailed demon fox and the more he looks like it.
Pretty much the "Don't worry about it" advice you've already received, but I'll add a bit.
There are levels of furries (learned this from the new roomie). There are those who have it as a hobby to varying degree (just doing drawings, some dressing up, etc.) and there are even some who believe they are spiritually connected or have a certain element of that animal combined with them (I've heard them called Therians though people argue about the term so whatever). These people tend to display random subtle animal qualities like scratching their ears, licking their wounds in a certain way or gravitating towards certain foods. Several of these people have said I was a bunny based on a few factors: I love bunnies, I like to run, sexual reasons (left vague), my fight or flight response is 99% flight and when it is fight I go way overboard, and apparently I like to cuddle like one in increasingly the rare moods that I like to cuddle. I call hogwash on all this, but you see where I'm headed. Some of these people treat it like someone might a religion so it's probably better just not to comment if you think it's silly.

No more stranger than people who wear the costumes of their favorite sports team.

Yeah I think it is weird when someone wears an official NASCAR jacket. They have literally about a hundred advertisements on it and they paid to be a walking billboard. The jacket should have been free since whoever is wearing it is promoting the sponsors.
At least with furries, they wear the tails because they like a show and want people to know it. NASCAR Fans wear the jackets to help someone else make more money.
Dunno, depending on how it's done it can look cute. But maybe I'm thinking of little kids instead of adults. Where it is usually creepy unless they're actually attractive.

I admit, a hot girl is a bikini with naruto tails would be oddly appealing in a cute sort of way.

Butt plugs make only a small degree of sense. If they're ever remotely necessary for someone, they really need to learn to switch sides every now and then.

So what would I be in the fact that I avoid a fight as much as possible, but the few fights I have been in I have all ended extremely fast. Also, if I am bleeding, I tend to lick the blood off the wound.....
Is there a place I could find this out? I'm not a furry, but it might be interesting to know. Chinese Zodiac puts me as a Golden Goat.

From what I gather you're just supposed to know. Kinda like your pagan name or whatever equivalent you'd like.
Nah, like I said, I aint a furry. I just wanted to know if I essentially just admitted to a form of bestiality some how
I think bestaility is limited to desiring carnal knowledge of animal.
Comparing your traits to an animal is one thing. "I'm as strong as an ox!"
Thinking your an animal is another. "I am an ox! No really, I am the spirit of an ox trapped in a human!"
Wanting a 'relationship' with an animal is pretty messed up.

Oh, nah, I don't think I am an wolf, however being a kid with no clear cut idea as to what he is supposed to do with himself in his life, I am kind of curious as to what specific things say about me. Not that I take them serious, I just kind of like seeing how accurate I feel some of them are.

Everything in italics is redandant. Your sentence reads as such:
"Oh, nah, I don't think I am an wolf, however being a kid I am a kid, I am a kid I am a kid I am a kid. I am a kid I am a kid, I am a kid I am a kid I am a kid."
All of that describes what it means to be in/around your age group.
This isn't a bad thing, it's normal developmental behavior. Unless you start thinking of Lone Wolf in the sense that racists use it to convince a young skinhead to go out and start trouble, other than that, everything is normal.

Must be normal then.
As for Lone Wolf, I say that about myself because I haven't kept a real life friend for longer than two years, really. Each different reasons, and I'm not a brooding type of guy who feels sorry for himself, but meh. I just seem to have a hard time holding on to people.
Which really sucks, because there isn't really a whole lot you can do by yourself in this world
"This item has wolves on it which makes it intrinsically sweet and worth 5 stars by itself, but once I tried it on, that's when the magic happened. After checking to ensure that the shirt would properly cover my girth, I walked from my trailer to Wal-mart with the shirt on and was immediately approached by women. The women knew from the wolves on my shirt that I, like a wolf, am a mysterious loner who knows how to 'howl at the moon' from time to time (if you catch my drift!). The women that approached me wanted to know if I would be their boyfriend and/or give them money for something they called mehth. I told them no, because they didn't have enough teeth, and frankly a man with a wolf-shirt shouldn't settle for the first thing that comes to him.
I arrived at Wal-mart, mounted my courtesy-scooter (walking is such a drag!) sitting side saddle so that my wolves would show. While I was browsing tube socks, I could hear aroused asthmatic breathing behind me. I turned around to see a slightly sweaty dream in sweatpants and flip-flops standing there. She told me she liked the wolves on my shirt, I told her I wanted to howl at her moon. She offered me a swig from her mountain dew, and I drove my scooter, with her shuffling along side out the door and into the rest of our lives. Thank you wolf shirt.
Pros: Fits my girthy frame, has wolves on it, attracts women
Cons: Only 3 wolves (could probably use a few more on the 'guns'), cannot see wolves when sitting with arms crossed, wolves would have been better if they glowed in the dark."
Don't worry, it's just the music video for the song "Hungry Like a Wolf".
And seriously, I think the internet hates on them a little to much. I think it's weird, but it's not affecting me, and they can do what they want behind closed doors (edit: WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE LAW).
My reaction to the furries is always the same. Burn them all.
And I know a furry. They are fine people, but insist that they are not human, but they are their "spirt animals". And the yiff. The fether ALWAYS mixes that into words.
Granted, it helped through his discovery that he was gay, and the aftershock of that, but it still stands. They insist they are not human. Then they must be purged.

That's a loaded question. Whether or not I am "into" one gender more than the other (or both) is my business. Suffice it to say, I find the human form attractive, not the animal form. Animals might be cute, but they aren't sexy. Furry and anthro art weirds me out and is extremely unattractive. A cat's head on a humanlike body is disturbing to me, not sexually attractive.

Did the tails really bother you more then the three guys building space marines that hadn't showered in a week and the nine year old in the corner yelling "Waaagh!!!" at the top of his lungs every time he rolled a die?!? Really?
I know wargamers are known for their understated normality and all, but be careful you don't bring this giant glass house down on top of us with all these stones you guys are slinging about...
I'm not slinging stones about... I also have a problem with overweight smelly nerds, too. I would prefer to converse with a well-groomed woman with a weird belief that she is a spirit cat, and thus wears a fake tail and kitty ear hat, than to attempt to do the same thing with the average person who goes to a Games Workshop store.

What you do with your pets/stuffed animals/girlfriend in a monkey suit is your buisness and doesnt effect me at all.

maybe you don't read so well, so let me clarify:
I said doesn't effect me so I'm not gonna worry about it, especially in a game store and make assumptions based upon a tail on your belt. IF your humping a dog on the table next to me then yeah I'm gonna have an issue, but otherwise if your quiet and non-disruptive (and generally not attracting flies) and minding your own buisness I don't care what the hell you are wearing and it's none of your business either...
Amaya wrote:So you're basically saying anything goes as long as it doesn't bother you?
Are you trying to be daft for a reason, or are you really this confused by the written word?
Society has people whose job it is to deal with those that are being disruptive, dangerous, or doing illegal/inappropriate things.
If I or someone else sees someone doing one of these said things then we report it and let them take care of it. Are you following along still? Good.
That being said the fact that two nerds in a game store have racoon tails on their belts is NOT proof that they feth animals, so NO I wouldn'y be TFG and make an ass of myself about it.
If people are demonstrating quiet, lawabiding and generally non-disruptive behavior in a public venue then no I don't usually harrass them and tell them I think they are a pedophile/rapist/furry/homosexual/whatever based upon their fashion sense (or lack there of).
By the account we have these two in no way disrupted anyone, nor had sex with any animals in the game store.

I found out a friend of mine was gay. I joking told him about a furry-site I saw on 4chan.
Now he is a gay furry.
He moved away.

They've found something they both like and are expressing it. If its one lone guy in a fur suit standing off by himself staring at you while licking his lips then yeah grab the pitchforks. This though, meh. Whatever turns them on.
Seriously though whats with the hate of furries? Its not my thing, I dont really get that whole fetish, but I wont let it bother me.
Also you guys realize that EVERYTIME a furries thread pops up, LegoBurner gets to watch in horror as this site gets a HUGE traffic spike simply because the word furry is being thrown around? Furry? FURRIES?! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL that is actually pretty shallow and pretty downright hateful seeing as he appears to be a Downs sufferer. Oh and i'll have you know i showered this morning but i still reek because i was busting some serious shapes at the rollerdisco earlier. It was deserted, naturally, people often can't appreciate my craft.

It lets teenage boys feel all clever and smug to h8et on someone, and have peer approval for doing so.
I am glad the discussion went to this point. I would like to throw my opinion in on the side of who gives a rat's ass about people wearing tails. Also fat gamer funk is the pits...

It is possible to be allergic to deodorant.
Deodorant doesn't stop you smelling. Washing stops you smelling.
People shouldn't worry so much about the smell of an honest day's work. Just get home and take a bath.

Come on, seriously now. Think of all the people that have to encounter that un/godly man stink before reaching the destination known as home.
Also,
It would make that last few hours of work unbearable if everybody began smelling like a dead cat. Not really related to B.O. as such, just a pet peeve of mine...

At what point does it become okay for me to worry about it? Sorry, but if it's gross to me, I don't like it. What's the difference between "an honest day's work" and "I don't need to shower every day, nothing says I have to?" If someone smells, they smell, and feel free to stink all you want. If a shop asks them to leave, on those grounds they've no right to even feel embarrassed. If it's at their residence, they can stink all they want.
So if you are at the mall, smelling like an animal, and wearing a tail dont be suprised if you find yourself in the animal shelter with some explaining to do.
It's unrealistic to expect everyone to shower every hour.
People shouldn't expect everything to smell like the duty free perfume department at Harrods.
Agreed.
But also, if you are knowingly going to a particular place, have been there before and know that there's a chance that you'd end up smelling particularly badly there...
It doesn't hurt to prepare in advance.
It also doesn't hurt that, if you are performing manual labor at your home, to take a few basic preparatory steps before heading back out into the wilds of the general public.

What I am saying is, if I get up, have a shower, go to work, and on the train home in the evening I smell sweaty because I haven't had a shower since the morning, it's just your tough luck if you don't like that.
But that's the train, nobody expects the train to be good smelling. When you also decide to go out to the GW shop (or the LGS) without showering after being at work all day and then getting on the train... there's a problem.
If you're just dropping in to pick something up after a day at work or while you're on your way home, it's also a totally different story than just plopping down for a tournament/multiple games after a long day at work and a train ride to GW/FLGS.
I find it terrifying to be agreeing with Melissia.

Wait...So I should work all day long ,then,instead of popping into the LGS (or indeed any store) on the way home,go all the way home,shower and then go back out again?
...No,I don't see that happening,if I've been busting my hump all day and need to stop off and grab some paint or a mini,then the kid who's lifted nothing heavier than a video game control all day can just deal with my funk til I leave the store.

I don't think that's what she's saying, Fitzz.
I think she's meaning more like if you actually went home, did whatever, and then went back out into proper society.

Ah...ok,well yes of course, if one has gone home,and knows they smell less than fresh they should have the good graces to clean up before heading back out into the world.
Actually, yes, that is what I'm saying. If you're going to spend hours at a social gathering, the least you could do is not smell like a combination of ass and armpit.

Fitzz isn't saying spending hours at a social gathering.
He's talking about going by the shop and picking up paints, a model or two, etc on his way home. No more time spent amongst the populace as necessary.

Which is acceptable.
Exactly, I have far to much self respect to attend any sort of function smelling like a barrel of cow dung,but as for a quick dash into the shop...hold your nose..I'll be gone as soon as I pay for this Rhino.
, then they'll get the message.
