galakazoo, i wasn't talking about you.
i mean, go anywhere on the internet where there's furries, and you'll find people like that.
some try to hard to be eccentric, too.
Ja, I know what you mean.
I troll the furry group on Facebook for just that reason, they think having an interest in an art, and wanting to roleplay in a manner that emulates that interest, makes them special.

Threads and comments come in 3 flavours:
- How to make the fandom out to be more than it is ("How do I come out to my parents guys?!")
- Desperate calls for attentions ("Need yiff partner, anyone'll do!" "Hay guise i'm nekkid :3")
- Bakery goods ("PIE SO RANDOM LOL")
There
is the off thread that's actually relevant ("Why'd you pick your species?"), but most of it is crap.
A good thing to notice though, is that there are furries out there who aren't retarded. If you check the "How do I tell family" thread, you'll see my encounter with someone who stays inactive within the fandom for fear of over exposure to the retardation.
Makes me sad, it does. So much dumb.
