To be fair, most of the furries I've ever met identify with animals in a sort of totemic sense, but don't so much see themselves as animals. Nor do most of them want to boink anyone while in mascot costumes. The logistics seem way too complicated for that to be any fun.
Yeah, it's such a wide label.  Which I guess is why there's a term "fursuiters", but honestly they don't bother me either.  I don't get that part of it, but more power to'em.
https://xkcd.com/471/

When I think furries I mostly think of the amount of amazing anthro art they produce, as a community.  Fics and webcomics, too...  mostly nonsexual.  I really dig that.  It's kinda like how animes are colorcoded by hair, but taken to 9000 via species.  Just a nifty type of art with a surprisingly passionate community, that's all.

Oddly, Morrowind Argonians only had boobs when wearing clothes. The game picked the Torso model based on character's sex, but naked torsos had Sex and Race Specific models. I don't have the game installed, nor a burning desire to screenshot nekkid lizard ladies, but they were flat as the guys were. You could tell gender based on their scale coloration and patterns, which I thought was Hella Cool. I just wish they'd reused the Male clothed torsos for the female Argonians, for consistency.

And thus ends my rant about lizard boobs.
Aww, they were wearing falsies to fit in ):

i would like to personally ask the argonian model designer what he was thinking when he decided that the disease resistant alligator assassin people needed some more sex appeal
I think when they started work on Oblivion they just decided to use only one humanoid body model. Less work for them, and we all get sexy lizards Mesozoic mammaries scaly boobs.
No.
It goes back to Daggerfall where Argonian women had bumpers, though no nipples (Daggerfall didin't give a shit and unclothed women were anatomically correct... though men didin't have their part of the deal for some reason. GAME SEXISM, DURR).
Huh; didn't know that. I guess I need to get around to playing through the pre-Morrowind games at some point.

the most weird thing about furries is how there's so many people that say that they hate furries who then go to watch children cartoon whose character casts are almost entirely composed out of furry characters

it's like there's this sort of disassociation thing going on where hating furries is a hip and cool thing to do, yet hating cartoons with furry characters in them is not

now someone will probably tell me that's not how furries work and that these children cartoon's human-animal hybrids are totally not furries

Wow, I shouldn't be quite as surprised at mainiac's ban as I am. I'm kind of sad about it. I mean, we had a couple of unpleasant arguments, and I'm not gonna go screaming that it was undeserved, but he was one of the better arguers in Ameripol.

I recall some old book in either oblivion or skyrim that hinted at the possibility of khajiit and argonians being able to produce offspring with humans/elves. If that is indeed possible, then that could explain where the lizard boobs come from, if a portion of the population has, even if they didn't realize where they got it, human genes.

now someone will probably tell me that's not how furries work and that these children cartoon's human-animal hybrids are totally not furries

The availability of childrens cartoons being turned into porn would suggest that in the minds of some furries there is no difference. Even if everyone else is screaming ARGH MY CHILDHOOD NOOO

Here's a link to a good video explaining why skyrim is being remastered. It's a bit rambly but it explains a fair bit.

To those who don't want to watch the video:

In a nutshell, while they were developing fallout 4 they wanted to test the new engine by porting skyrim to it. This port is what they are selling us, although I'm certain they've made some improvements since then.
so you get to pay a steep price for a  .... test from them?  gtfo.  They can test it for free.

It's a bit more complicated than that. The video mentions that players who own the PC version of the original Skyrim get the remaster for free (although I don't know if that offer still stands). So basically those who already own the game get a free update and those who don't own the game...

Well, it's just like as if you were buying a vanilla Skyrim with better graphics.

Argonians can be changed more or less humanlike by the Hist sap. Magic trees, yo. Boobs are the least of it.

Well, depends. One of my friends is declared furry and he's cool and he basically never brings that up so it's okay. But of course, as with everything (MLP, durr), there are people who will... shove their fur down your throat, so to say.

My definition of furry is just a person who either wants to be/identifies as/has sexual attraction to anthropomorphized animals. I don't want to be one (being a regular cat and not giving a shit about whole world seems like a very interesting proposition, though), I don't identify as one and I'm not sexually attracted by them.
I just like fuc-
Wait, no, back.
I just like goddamn cats. They're so nice and soft and annoying assholes. Celestial Lions from Warhammer have lions on their armour (also space charts and it's a fucking bitch to paint) and it's cool. Khaijt are cool. Cats are cool.

Isn't valewood just your average fantasy elf forest kind of place?

Hell no

That said, using "signs" to determine the next Elder Scrolls has never been a meaningful thing. Morrowind hinted at Skyrim and Oblivion hinted at the Summerset Isles.

Not signs, some leak that also had Skyrim Special Edition and Nuka World before their reveals, though I don't know if that was after a previous Nuka World leak (later leaks that use info from earlier leaks as evidence that they're correct are not good leaks)

It's a bit more complicated than that. The video mentions that players who own the PC version of the original Skyrim get the remaster for free (although I don't know if that offer still stands). So basically those who already own the game get a free update and those who don't own the game...

Well, it's just like as if you were buying a vanilla Skyrim with better graphics.

No, you have to have all the DLC to get the remaster for free, and the remaster when bought includes all DLC.

This same deal isn't in PS4 and Xbox One because Skyrim is not on those consoles.

It's extraordinary what they could get away with. But then again, it was probably easier with such a smaller audience. Hell, the Arena cover is so delightfully dated and tasteless, it warms my heart when I see it.

To be fair, most of the furries I've ever met identify with animals in a sort of totemic sense, but don't so much see themselves as animals. Nor do most of them want to boink anyone while in mascot costumes. The logistics seem way too complicated for that to be any fun.
Yeah, it's such a wide label.  Which I guess is why there's a term "fursuiters", but honestly they don't bother me either.  I don't get that part of it, but more power to'em.

Aww, they were wearing falsies to fit in ):

And they never needed to. >: Glorious snek people is great, whatever they're packing. Now, if only I could phrase that better...

Yes, it's a pretty damn wide spectrum, overlapping with many other spectrums, like subcultures (or whatever it is) tend to do. I do imagine that part of it is to wind up crybabies on the internet, but Lord knows the internet is full of crybabies in general.

the most weird thing about furries is how there's so many people that say that they hate furries who then go to watch children cartoon whose character casts are almost entirely composed out of furry characters

now someone will probably tell me that's not how furries work and that these children cartoon's human-animal hybrids are totally not furries

Mostly I think it's just become a part of general accepted and polite internet behaviour. It's a thing people do to fit in, and presumably because it's easy to assume the worst. Plus, hilarious tears are a possibility. Or where, I don't think "waaah fursecution" is a thing anymore. And I also imagine that it's a sort of projection thing. Little secrets and tastes people don't like to have (the general internet population is surprisingly puritan, at times, I've noticed), and letting some right weirdoes have it is probably one way to deal with them. I think, heaven knows I'm a layman in this area.

A housecat's life sounds great, truth be told. Sounds like a pretty nice summary, that. But agreed, throats should be kept clear in general, no matter what it is. It's just good behaviour.

The book that was actually being discussed is also no more trustworthy than Lusty Argonian Maid, being the equivalent of a scientific racism screed against Khajit, Argonians, and Orsimer. And also all the races of Men, because as I recall it was written by an Altmer. So probably also racist against Dunmer and Bosmer, but I don't remember.

In fact, this technically means that of the two works, Lusty Argonian Maid is the more accurate and true to reality.
