Dragons constitute a surprisingly large fraction of furry pornography.
The more you know, the more you squirm.
You're saying that like I didn't already know...
Is it really furry if they don't have fur, though?
Furry refers to any anthropomorphic (or "anthro") stuff: characters, porn, art, people, fursuits, porn, conventions, meetups, groups, the general "fandom", porn, etc. You take a wolf or whatever and make it walk on two legs, basically (in the context of furries, anthropomorphism only includes physical aspects). Scalie/scaly is sometimes used to refer to things with scales, or those who prefer things with scales. When used to refer to the group as a whole there's not a whole lot of difference (they still all like anthro stuff), but I suppose it'd be useful if one was looking for scalie stuff. Furry just caught on because the fandom started with animals with fur and it's what the majority prefer.
Personally I don't like furry/scalie/anthro stuff. Dragons are good though.
In the interest of not breaking the forum rules and not mentally scarring anyone further than I already have, I'll leave it at that.
In actual happy news, I have coffee!
I also found a fairly large board game event in the area that happens every Wednesday. Of course since this is Portland, aka "Beervana", it's at a bar, which would normally make my minor self very sad (only 6 more months...), but they have a diner section that closes at 10 PM so I can get at least a few hours in (starts at 7). Regularly gets 100+ people, which is awesome.
