That's far less whimsical than I imagined. :(

People who adopt certain animal characteristics as part of their identity, sometimes even wearing a fur suit in emulation of said animal. :)

Edit: not to say I don't watch them anyway when they're on TV. :D lol

Ohhhh. I think there was an episode of CSI I saw with that. Fur and loathing. Its a bit skewed for how furries really are, I swear we're not all fur-pile happy, yiffy freaks either =x
On a side note, I will one day have my fursuit <.< hopefully, they're freaking expensive.

I don't think I saw that episode, how badly did they exaggerate the gamer stereotype? <.< It was pretty bad. <__< And very unrealistic. The characters are constantly throwing around all this "gamer speech," which makes them visibly uncomfortable. The whole thing is just really awkward lol
And the story was centered around this like... gaming tournament thing that took place in a stadium. The "gamers" were these stereotypically geeky dudes with exaggeratedly arrogant attitudes and (for some weird reason) really hot girlfriends who were supposedly attracted to fame. (lol famous gamers)

I run into a lot of LGBT on FFXI. More often than IRL and in other online games. I'm kinda curious to see what the statistics would be for FFXI.

To be honest, LGBT people make up a pretty large proportion of online gamers in general.

Have a source for that? I wouldn't be surprised if it's just that more LGBT persons are open online than irl, and it's much easier and faster to sift through the idk, 5k? people on one server than to sift through 5k people irl.

Yes actually. :) Jaerik shared that with us several hundred pages ago. Considering his occupation and demonstrated thoroughness, I think he's more than credible.^^

Does that mean that the LGBT community is full of sad, lonely people like me who spend their Friday nights cooped up in their dark bedrooms playing FFXI?

Josi's a guy because typically girls type way better than guys.
I'm an exception because I'm nitpick-y about how I type. >__>

... like what are the drag queens doing that's so interesting.
you know america's next top model? basically that, except with drag queens
Just curious to see how many of us actually play FFXI. **Now, let's try to keep this clean, please don't respond if you have nothing nice to say.** :] Don't be shy, speak up! :D
EDIT: You don't have to be gay to post in here, if you want to be apart of our conversations.. feel free to join in! Don't be shy, we don't bite.. well some of us do! :] Anyyyyyways~! This thread has become a home to many from the LGBT community & even some from the straight community who are open minded and enjoy chit-chatting with us, :] so let's keep it drama free, we deserve a place where we can be ourselves without being made fun of/harassed.
