Hey crabbos, sorry for the missing commentary and whatnot in today's stories. Moderna shot side effects made it significantly more difficult to make this video. Next video will be better! 🦀👑
That second shot was awful. And I had no choice but to be in the office the next day. Let's hear it for caffeine and naproxen. Thankfully it wore off by the second day.
Hey, my crabby boi, would you be down to do a collab with the Bear Bard? He deserves a lot more attention than he gets and a collab might help get them counts up. And honestly, two animal themed D&D/rpg horror story channels would be pretty epic.
The second shot is gonna be rough, but just try to rest and stay warm and keep some Tylenol on hand for if the pain gets to be to much, and you'll be fine.
It's funny how people who say all women are the same can't seem to figure out women. You'd think that if everyone in a demographic is exactly alike, you'd be able to pick up on their patterns and adjust your behavior accordingly. Almost as if they're full of shit or something!
"All women are the same, _I can't understand any of them!"_ I guess when you're are completely uneducated about something, you can't even identify it. And if you can't identify anything in a given group, you certainly can't glean any differences. From an ignorant point of view, his statement actually makes sense!
So when you're into a woman who's _already dating someone_, everything's fine, but once she rejects you then you don't want her "used hole" anymore? Classy.
Gotta appreciate the fact that he's outspokenly anti-Black. You love to see when scum of the Earth like this evil bigot just openly admit to being such
TBH if someone's actively trying to supplant an IRL relationship and saying "you know, they're probably cheating on you" I think that's pretty solid grounds to kick them on the spot
A lot of these stories feature people that I feel like are way too passive when dealing with such insane amounts of disrespect. Example: A gay couple playing with a homophobe who threatens to kill them in real life. I don't play dungeons & dragons but I enjoy listening to these stories. And it seems like a great majority of them feature people who don't have strong personal boundaries or how to vocalize or act on them.
@@dxcSOULa lot of people that play DnD do it to escape the scary reality of the real world. A lot of roleplayers have anxiety, mental disorders, stress problems etc etc. Often those things lead to low self confidence which makes it so they arent willing to speak up.
This guy literally saw Beastars, noticed he has a wolf character and there as a cute dwarf rabbit and was like “Finally and I roleplay my fantasy 😍😍” and forgot he was in reality
Yes, 75_80% of my co-workers for the past 2 decades are Latina. Can confirm. Also they were all awesome to work with. They always had my and each others backs.
@@jamesgaston2745 No, I knew you were not. You used the gender neutral, which is preferred. I just used what I did for the reason stated. Probably didn't need to explain myself. In my family (immediate and extended) there are 5 trans or fluid folk and 2 more, that I am aware of, that are LGBTQ. I think that I am just super cautious to explain myself, and watch myself, because I grew up when using words referring to LGBTQ were commonly used by myself and all the kids I knew, to insult people we didn't like or to insult each other. I was saying f@g for 3-4 years, before I even knew what it meant. Old did can learn knew tricks, but it takes persistence and self monitoring.
"Zander was an anthropomorphic cat god from the 40k universe..." 40k players: What the ACTUAL LORE-FUCK ABOMINATION IS THIS SHIT Seriously tho, never mix furry mary sues with grimdark, only Flashgitz can.
The 40K player's text you put in actually sounds like something the Emperor would say in "If The Emperor Had A To Speech Device", and I absolutely love it. Seriously, I don't hate furries as long as they don't do any of the fucked-up shit above, but when I hear about ones like these, *the urge to purge begins to surge.* (furiously headbutts Exterminatus button repeatedly)
@@commanderjason7786 People like sir edge lord are the main reason I disassociated myself from the fandom (still a furry but refuse to be in the same fandom as these asshats or even worse). Also I will say I have seen some WH40K folks that behave like this, and I’m sorry they give folks like you a bad rap
The Chaos God Nurgle would be deeply disturbed by such a horrifying entity and would have multiple Blightlord Terminators slice and dice this so called cat god to bits, with their Baleswords.
Imagine making a cool game with a touch of mistery and betrayal building up to a badass villain. Only to switch it for a sex depraved cat dmpc, what a shit excuse of a dm
Was it though…….? The mystery was only daughters were being born….the mystery really seems like it was the sex gods human trafficking ring…. The god was posing as an alchemist… only daughters born…. He likes sex slaves……. Pretty sure the DM needs to be in a watch list….
The dude's character was a literal lone wolf. The fact that he was also a gross wannabe harem protag weeb and racist... How does a human tick so many horror story boxes?
seriously! my friend who DMs is obsessed with his goliath barbarian/fighter type character he brought from 40k. the dude had like 30 strength, had over 250 hp, and had attacks that could 1 hit most things. im glad i dont play in his games anymore because he was constantly introducing characters like that
@@TheBonkleFox you can go above 21 just not naturally. Specifically you have to find magic items that increase your stat maximum or level up to basically max in certain classes. Unless the stats were referring to 40k, in which case, sorry i have no idea about the rules of that one.
@@PancakemonsterFO4 After the outbreak of the deadly Red Plague and global nuclear war, humans have largely become extinct, with the few surviving ones becoming mutants, having been affected by radiation. Two Stalkers, Bormin (a humanoid boar voiced by actor Enzo Squillino Jnr) and Dux (a humanoid duck voiced by Jared Zeus) A post apocalyptic world filled with human/animal hybrids/anthro animals. Was I talking how the home brew or mutant year zero?
Playing older characters can be a lot of fun. I had a character (a master thief) die once, so my next character was my old character's adoptive father, mentor, and fence. He was in his sixties, walked around with a cane (hiding a cane sword) and always complained about being "too old for this shit" and pulling the "I'm just an old man!" card every time he was in a tough spot. But his goal of resurrecting his deceased child eventually came to fruition before he died. And damn do I miss ol' Anton
"Disgusting black creatures. Get out of my sight." - Shadow the Hedgehog, edgy furry icon, literally said in his own game. Almost surprised the line wasn't used by the furry here, considering how Sonic is popular among furry groups.
I still find it so funny the english dub for Shadow the hedgehog was so terrible it basically turned the character into an edgelord and he has stayed that way so far lmao.
Whilst he himself has mostly black spines and is directly related to the leader of said extraterrestrials that also have black dominate their color scheme, mind you. So not only is the English dub of Shadow the Hedgehogs edgier than a chainsword made of chainswords, it also has the titular protagonist say a hypocritical small paragraph.
Huh, tbh I hate sonic, and I'm a furry. My friend group of furries also hates the games, we tried it all together and failed immediately- I guess we just hate being defeated? Either way it was fun too.
As a furry, I tend not to make furry characters that don't explicitly fit the campaign setting, or make a campaign including those elements when I DM. Makes things go easier a lot more often that way.
@Nora Fox Boy Something else, most likely called animal people, the term is usually that animal and their pronoun like catgirls, dogboys etc, furrys are full-on animals with human habits/behavior also called anthros
@Nora Fox Boy I mean by the very definition of the term furry I’d imagine anything that you could describe as a human animal hybrid would more than likely fall under that umbrella.
I'm kinda the same way but when it's dnd I tend to avoid the more human races because the non human races tend to have more going on inately that I can build from as a story element. Like right now I'm playing a lizard folk and their gods and culture in dnd are what made me pick it. Like their only god is an uncaring and unfeeling God of survival and that is what there society is based on. No morals or hang ups, just as long as it gets you through to the next day then it is worth doing. As a story element that's cool to me because making my back story for my character is one of my favorite things about creating characters.
@Nora Fox Boy Something else I agree. Ears and tail do not make you a fur but I would classify many demons as furs Arcanaloth? Obviously furry but even obvious demons like Tiefling are your call if you add animal features to them but by default, I would say no but like catboys they are furry adjacent. Oh, and they still use clothing... fur does not count as clothing no matter how warm it keeps you.
@@epsilon-eleven If the DM was a bit more professional, he could have done it. Roll to attack, fudge the roll if necessary, and set an extraoraidnaly high Charisma save.
I'm so glad you clarified that furries aren't all bad and not even the majority are. As a furry it gets annoying when people brush off everyone in the fandom as a weirdo
Theory. The reason furries get a lot of the worst cringe people, is that cringe people hear the stereotypes and think that their behavior is okay in the furry fandom so "convert" so they don't have to be better people. Then they become "burned furs" when they get rejected.
its mostly because the furry fandom is full of people unwilling to let go of their childlike wonder or behaviors. in most cases this is fine as it just brings a bit more childlike wonder back to an adult's life, but...well....unless you accept that you are in fact an adult and not in fact a child it will be a problem.
my personal theory is that cringe people join furry groups based on their surface level liking of anthro characters, usually these groups are kind and welcoming and have a fare share of people too shy to call them on their bullshit. eventually the group has enough and stops accepting their behavior, causing the cringe individual to look for a "More accepting" group. through this method they filter themselves through different groups of furries that tried to help them stop being cringe and started to move towards groups that accept and encourages this behavior looking for a place to fit in. These echo chambers grow over time accepting more of these types of individuals making them believe that their behavior is, or should be, accepted by everyone else, those that doesn't accept it are the "biggots" that wont accept people for who they are and are the "False furries" because "the community should be welcoming to everyone!" thus they force their cringey behavior on any social interaction they have.
Not far off, it is also that as a genre of weirdos that are very open about sexy fun times they see it as universal in the fandom just because as weirdos we know of other weird stuff and are open to all the weird behaviour. Just because there is weird vore stuff on furry sites does not mean we all like it for instance
DMPC's aren't always so bad, as long as the DM realizes, its not his story/all about that character. Sometimes I've heard of DMPC's that were made as a hint button, if the PC's get stumped, or get too lost. Also, a good point for people to remember: Don't play D&D with people you distrust/detest/disagree with. It'll translate into the game 98.999999999...9% of the time.
Yeah. Best one I saw was when a DMPC was used almost as a "training wheels" character for a group of mostly new players. They basically were there to give an in-game nudge, keep the game flowing when the others got stumped what to do and to heal other characters.
DMPC's are great if used well, they can fill in gaps that the party has, add characters the player's care about to the mix and help nudge the story and players in the right direction. The problem is if the DM threat them as protagonists, DMPCs should never be the focus of the story, or make decisions for the group, or be the strongest member of the group.
Agreed. When I introduce dmpcs its usually someone that has extra info that can naturally share info with the party and more importantly can fill in any missing roles. Usually a healer since most of my players like doing damage.
I played one campaign where the DMPC was the Cleric because none of the other players chose a healing class. The DM even played the character like he had no idea what was coming next, which made him just another character played by the DM in our group.
These horror stories of DMPCs make me glad I only ever have mine act as "team medic" types or "Team meat shield" or some other useful gimmick that the party might want/need. How hard is it to make a character that your party would want around? Apparently very.
I've run DMPCs in many games and it's perfectly feasible to make them both useful and likeable. I guess the simple answer to why some people apparently can't is because they're putting them in for the wrong reasons.
I have one in a game I currently DM, Pride. They're an elemental attuned to negative emotions(Called a Negative Primordial), but were trapped in a ring that one of the characters acquired. They had a choice of using the ring's magical on-use skill and potentially killing Pride, or helping him. The group chose to help him, eventually learning he was a shy, soft spoken type who was captured by the main antagonists and soul-siphoned into a ring for their sick experiments. They were able to free him by reverse engineering one of the antagonists' own machines, and now can call on Pride if they need him. (He's always one level lower than the party, and is focused on ranged support and stealth. And in order to 'level him up' they'd have to send him on missions or take him along. Sort of like a retainer. They've so far used him to great effect with scouting for information, or even escape routes so far!).
I agree. I use DMPC's quite a lot too. They're great for narratively nudging your PC's a certain way without railroading too much in the written modules and allow your players to form a balanced party using whatever they like. (As the dmpc can fill whatever party role gap they've left.)
I saw a story once of someone who had a DMPC paladin that the players actually became fond of. I don't remember the details, as I saw the story years ago on a tumblr post, but the gist of it is that this setting had an evil king, and the party was searching for a bunch of artifacts to stop the king. Throughout the story, the DMPC would occasionally leave the party, during which is when the really big fights would occur, leaving the PCs, not the DMPC, to take all the glory in conquering these battles. At the end of the campaign, the DM revealed that the paladin was the evil king, but that he wasn't necessarily evil himself, just...corrupted, I guess? The paladin was a sort of "split personality" of the king, or, more accurately, the king was a split personality of the paladin. The paladin-king /wanted/ the players to stop him, and helped them collect the artifacts to that end, leading to a very tearful final battle in which the PCs had to kill someone they considered a friend. My point being, DMPCs can be handled really well, even when they are a major player in the plot like that. All these DMs who just want to make the biggest and baddest characters to outshine their players are just really, really bad storytellers.
Dude, the first story's homebrew setting was AWESOME and I wanna play the shit outta that. I'm not even a furry but damn that's interesting. Like... reminds me of that theoretical science documentary that had to do with animals evolving into sapient lifeforms akin to Homo-Sapiens.
The little "happy ending" bit on the first story made me really happy. If the author happens to be reading these comments and sees this, I wish you and your fiancée a wonderful wedding!! 💜
The ultimate happy ending would've been that dude getting the life beaten out of him for saying the N-word and having to poop through a tube for the remainder of his life. THAT would've been the icing on the cake
@@octoberwildsmoke9065 I know. That's why I thought it up as a hypothetical follow-up to this cringe Cro-Magnon. You don't appear to be very intelligent.
Damn, NSR would actually be a super interesting d&d setting. I'd guess instead of classes I'd be your genre of music and and weapons would be your instrument. Oh yeah, it's all coming together.
@@aaronhussey8522 or alternatively you have the classes, but then everyone uses different styles. like you could have a barbarian who uses rock and another who uses hip-hop. it'd genuinely be awesome.
"The bad ones are really really bad" I mean, yeah, we can say that about anything but let's face it, this isn't a story about crappy furries, its a story about crappy people who don't have a social compass or work well with others.
Underrated comment. You could replace the word furry with anything here and the story would remain the same, its only emphasized cuz of clickbait-y nature of Furry Cringe. "EDGIEST C.o.d. player EXPLODES into racist rant" Nobody would click on a video title like that because we all know thats just kinda how it is. but because its furries here its more appealing.
honestly the whole idea of a "lone wolf" character is kinda silly, cause when lone wolves leave a pack, it tends to be because either there was a dispute in leadership or food is scarce, and it's typically the latter. even then when a wolf matures they leave their own pack to either start their own or join another, which helps with genetic diversity and making sure resources in one area isnt overused. if anything a wolf character would prolly treat a ground or party as their pack, and do their best to make sure everyone gets along and works together, not act like a dick. of course, that's just one interpretation of how one could be played, but personally that's prolly how i would play a wolf character; a level-headed person who treats their party as family and does anything to make sure they all are well.
Yeah I always thought the lone wolf stereotype odd considering they are very social animals and have strong familial bonds. Wolves evolved to cooperate. They don't do well on their own especially since their main prey (elk) are so large and difficult to take down.
Yeah they really don’t know a lot about wolves but just like the look I guess (I mean I love wolves in every way too but I also love the animal the most) and the animals are very pack oriented, the lone wolf is often the outcast in not a badass edgy way, but a sickly, stranded rogue wolf way. They usually get picked off by other packs or die from starvation. The same thing of people talking about the “alpha wolf” which isn’t really a thing. The “alpha” so to speak, is like the carer of the pack. Looks after the pups and keeps them warm.
The OP unironically calls elements of the NCR, like taxes, "cringe" (I mean taxes suck but they arent "cringe") yet refers to a furry NCR special forces squadron called The Cheezers as "great." Also is a furry himself, is playing with other middle aged furries in a furry oriented game. Girlfriend plays a bunny love interest. Anything that happens he brought on himself...
I would like to take note of a very important element of that first story: Most people were in some way part of the furry community, and all except one were decent people. I'd like to thank OP for taking the time to show that this had nothing to do with the problem player being a fur.
The framing of the first story left a sour taste. The outstanding characteristic of the player wasn't that he was a furry; all of them were furries. He was a racist incel. But it was still framed as "cringey furry." The second story though? Yeah, fair enough.
Yeahh it bothered me how the first story was framed as "a furry ruins a friend group's campaign". Not only were they almost all furries, but that fact was only relevant as to why basically every character except OP was some sorty of anthro. The fact the bad player was a furry had zero bearing on his behavior. I haven't been a furry in years & never really actively engaged in the community other than going to one con and posting some art on FA, but it still drives me nuts watching ppl get shit on just for being furries. The general furry community is actually super cool, open-minded, and accepting of others as long as they aren't hurting anyone.
@@RinoGato There was an episode of the show CSI that came out in 2003. It was a lot of peoples introduction to furries & the episode depicted it as if they were all sexual deviants & the entire reason for furry conventions was to basically have big orgies in their suits. It became commonplace to mock them as some sort of sexual deviants after that to the point that I once saw a news story about a furry convention that was a victim of a gas attack and saw 19 people hospitalized and the news reporters were literally just *making fun of them.* They were literally laughing at people who had inhaled chlorine gas and were in the hospital because they happened to be wearing fursuits. It's not as bad nowadays, but I still run into people nowadays who think furries are sexual deviants trying to find legal ways to get around their zoophilia. I really think those two events that happened so close to each other really set a social precedent for many. Their first introduction to furries was open mocking and public humiliation at their expense and some people just never questioned why that is horribly wrong and messed up.
@@RinoGato It doesn't help that often, when people hear about a community, it's because of its deviants. I feel like OP did that specifically because most of the times, these kind of stories go like "And then there was Bob, the furry pedophile and problematic player, who tried to woo the only minor at the table" without taking a second to think or specify that the "furry" part had nothing to do with the situation.
The DM on the second one sounds like a talented and creative DM who is ruined by an attraction to power fantasies and simple sadism. The finale to the story was a missed opportunity. This DM could have gained a lot of good will by bringing out Zander and finally allowing his precious cat-monster to be utterly defeated, torn apart, and sent into the void once and for all. It would have done wonders for the friendship, and the D&D group likely would have survived. Unfortunately, it seems that this idiot would rather have Zander than friends. (I like the name "Zander" - going forward, I think a bad overpowered DMPC should be called a Zander.)
Makes me glad that whenever my DM wants to introduce a character that has the potential to not be well received, he explains the concept of the character and asks if it's okay. Unless it's a bad guy npc. Then I'm told "I have this bad guy I can't wait for you to meet and you are going to hate them." He's done a really good job on making bad guy characters I want to punch in the face!😁
@@BlinkingEldrichRoses Funny, I tend to use it in english class or or on the internet even if Im hungarian. It sounds so fashionoble, yet stil child-friendly...
You don't mean that to ALL furries, right? Cuz this is just a small group of the fandom, that the rest of us hate ourselves because of them. A lot of us are quiting because of them. They're ruining our fandom. Please kick the snot outta them, I can't deal with the hate anymore.
If I did use a DMPC, I'd use them to fill in a needed role - Healer, Sneak, Tank - anything but Face - players pick a guy to be the Face, even if I managed to bring in a guy with a Decent Charisma and Charisma-based skills - such skills would be for side jobs or off-screen info collecting in case the players don't roll well enough talking to the Mayor or whatever leader they were chatting with. The DMPC's reason for being with the party would mainly be money, to pay the bills, and to increase their reputation. In combat, he'd be either run by the Players (like a Sidekick), or just have him stay in the back with whatever NPCs the group was escorting, stopping enemy reinforcement from getting through, or whatever.
I swear to god as someone who grew up loving wolves and would more than likely have a wolf for a fursona/oc, its people like this that make me anxious to admit that I like wolves because of that basic edgelord stereotype.
The thing i've noticed about furries is that the vast majority of them have at least one of their personality traits exaggerated to the extreme. Even as a furry and knowing where to look, its still sometimes difficult to hold normal conversations with them. Furries are many things, Sociable is not one of them, so its really no wonder they arent held in a good light.
@@FoxInnaHat I have encountered some that are fairly sociable and tolerable, and they can honestly be good conversation. But yeah, most times you come across one that just makes you feel uncomfortable in general. It's too bad they all get lumped into the same bad group by the public because of a small percent of psychos like Lorenzo. There are some good ones out there, as crazy as that might sound to some
Yep. And there's not an awful lot of truth in any of the stereotypes humans have created for them. They mostly just want to hang out with their pack, do wolfy things, and keep their heads down.
As someone who doesn't really get furries, wolves are incredibly intelligent social animals. Don't let an unsociable moronic spat of feces ruin your love for those amazing beasts. Always keep in mind just how much of a polar opposite they are.
The thing that saddens me here is the apparent hate towards DMPCs. They can be done right, and in certain cases such as 1 on 1 games they can be crucial for the game. Plus, most of the time it's the party itself that won't ever let some NPCs go. The Wild Beyond the Witchlight has a plethora of such characters XD
Yes, that is an NPC. DMPC is where the DM plays a character in his/her own game, except this character probably won't do any stupid mistakes, will know everything in advance, and probably won't be attacked as badly. If it is done right, it is not a DMPC, it is an NPC. DMPC is always wrong.
@@Poldovico ...I gave my players some DMPC every now and then, but I was always careful to follow the golden rules: 1) they must never be too strong 2) they must never steal the spotlight 3) they must be useful 4) if they can make the players laugh, so much the better. If you do that, the players will probably love them. I'm speaking from experience here.
@@Poldovico When they're part of the team and actively support their actions (i.e. they pull their weight in combat) they're DMPCs. For example, once (it was at the time of D&D4) my team was missing its so-called healer, the bard (I say "so called" because he'd rather climb a tree and snipe than stick around and play support, with the end result that the paladin bled himself dry trying to keep the party alive), so I sent in Ultorth Stonehands, cleric of Moradin. I told them that I wouldn't steal their thunder, and I kept my word. I only used his at-wills, one that gave them a little bonus to hit and one that gave temporary HP. They did little or no damage, but helped them mow down the opponents just fine. By the end of the session, the players asked me if they could ditch the bard and keep Ultorth. THAT was when I knew I had done a good job.
Furries and Otakus could stand in solidarity at the smaller yet loud , reputation shattering, utter cringe portion of their respective fandoms. The may the utter repugnance be rooted out as soon and as well as possible because... eww.
I've never played D&D before, but if I were ever to DM, my first DMPC is going to be a very weak and cowardly scholar that hires the party to escort him on his journey to find blahblahblah macguffin, but have that lead into BBEG being introduced and killing the scholar. Then it's revealed that the scholar was cursed by the BBEG with resurrection because his weakness was humorous to him. So the scholar would appear as a spirit for awhile to the party and follow them around before being pulled into the ground and becoming flesh again, but he would have to claw his way back out, every time he dies, which would be fairly frequently, as I would want the scholar to gradually become more and more brave, even if he definitely does not have (and will never have) the power to back it up lol Just sort of a "yeah im weak, but I'll live forever, biatch! Come get me!" *immediately decapitated* Any thoughts?
That's a cool and funny NPC that the players can have along. DMPC is more of a community terms for when the DM forgets which side of the screen they are on.
"...she starts ranting in Spanish." Well. That's the sign that something has gone terribly, terribly awry, lol. When my girlfriend gets pissed she launches into Cantonese and I only have a very passing understanding of Mandarin, but boy howdy do I know "You" and "?!" when I hear it, lol.
Zander doesn't even sound like a Warhammer 40k character. When I made mine, I made a someone who joined Chaos to overthrow the Imperium of Man *for* humanity, but whose naïveté keeps them from being nothing truly more than a pawn for a god that's just having a laugh. That's Warhammer 40k, not some furry wish fulfillment.
Honestly, people like this is why I'm sometimes afraid to be open about being a furry at my tables because I feel like I'd be classed with edgelords like this guy tbh :/
My best advice is even if you are a furry and make a have a character with edgy qualities just make sure they have depth or other qualities about them! What that person did was just disgusting, he didn't need to be a furry for ANYBODY to see/agree on that. Don't let your fear smother yourself away from having fun or enjoying things you like! Like said before, just make sure there's more to your character than *just* being a animalistic character, or edgy. I've had a "edgy fox prince" who was never seen as a bad or annoying. Despite the people I was with not being furries or one or two being anti-furry they enjoyed the adventure we were on. I had it that my character, Despite being from a rich royal family had many siblings. His chances of gaining access to those riches or the throne was low from all the competition. Thus he'd go on a journey to gain popularity or attention from his parents. I gave him flaws, and more personality than just edgy qualities. I made him grow and value things more as he adventure with the party. Realize there is more important things than gold & riches. In the end he found out his rich family gets their fortune from doing dirty things and my character ends up going against his family to put a stop to it, asking the party for help. A huge turnaround and character development from the first day he met them from being too prideful to ask for help to fully accepting their help as comrades & friends.
Wow I actually had an experience close to the first story. I played with a guy like Lorenzo before, except he wasn't a furry. He was also a racist. My gf didn't play the campaign with us but she liked to watch our sessions sometimes. He had a crush on my gf before I was dating her and he accused me of "stealing her" from him (even though they never dated) and he accused her of being a "race traitor" because we were an interracial couple. Needless to say we kicked him out of our group.
it is pretty gross tbh. if she has kids with you they will likely look nothing like her. they won't have her nose, eyes, hair color, hair texture, none of her facial features etc.
Yes tho! I also always get yelled at for having a "Wolfcat" and "Fabbix" OCs. "Choose one already god damn it!" Like, NO, IT'S *MY* OCCCCC I CAN DO WHAT I WANTTTTTTT. Either way people like this piss me off and hate them all.

The guy being a racist creep edgelord in the first story had absolutely nothing to do with him being a furry. They were *all* running a dedicated furry-themed campaign together.
Yeah but mentioning the word furry in the title makes more people click on it. Can't entirely blame Crab, that's just how UA-camrs gotta be if they wanna make money, but it is disappointing.
0:33 I just can't stop laughing at this intro because I've got a friend from italy by the name name that I constantly call a scalie (because he's always a dragonborn and wishing to the dm to play a dragon or making some silly remarks about how he's a gold dragon)
Shadow is literally the best character for the thumbnail. He is an edgy furry, and he hates the, and I quote, “black creatures,” according to memes I’ve seen.
Story 2: They were NOT over-reacting. In fact, my reaction would have been much more confrontational than theirs. If anything, I think they handled it extremely calmly. People with glory characters always irked me and I still hate it to this day in any medium. It's fine to create an all-powerful character for a fantasy setting but the context matters. In most context, every character needs weaknesses regardless of their power. If it bleeds, it can die.
Second OP’s reaction was a little weird. Feeling so anguished over what’s unfairly happening to the other player, then leaving that player to continue the game alone with their atomized character without even checking on how they’re doing. It’s almost like he felt more sorry for the monk than the player, lol.
I never understood the hate for the NCR. Like, everyone wants what they offer. people to create infrastructure, an army to protect them, a functional society, and an economy. But no one wants to contribute through taxes, which is the very thing that makes it possible in the first place.
Did Saber Spark open you up to that one? Shame that movie got chopped up and poorly advertised. I enjoyed the crap out of that. Also, Mok's lip animations were on a whole new level of smooth.
I really liked that movie, but to be fair there is no reason why the characters should be anthro, if they were humans wouldn't change anything for the story. Aesthetic choice, I think...
...that Zander character straight up sounds like a Slanneshi Daemon. Yep, that sounds pretty much exactly like what a Daemon from 40K would do. I hope that he doesnt think that Zander is anything more than a Daemon Prince, but I strongly suspect that he views the twisted thing as some kind of good being.
Been a 40k fan for years, I don't recall any furry cat sex gods in the canon lore. Sounds like a tryhard felinid Slaaneshi daemon prince or some shit. I run a 40k rp server and I've rejected a lot of similar character submissions. The worst I've ever seen was an edgy Catachan that included a grotesque description of his pubic hair in the sheet.
As a general rule, if furries are involved, I try and make it feel less like Zootopia and more like Kung Fu Panda. Plus, there's already plenty of humanoid-animal races to choose from, with more for you dragon lovers thanks to Fizzban's
Yeah, honestly by that point I wouldn't be surprised if Slaanesh themselves were hitting the Exterminatus button with that horrendous abomination in existence.
If you ever figure it out, let me know. The only way I've ever seen an "edgelord" played well was in my campaign where a friend of mine was playing one. He turned it into a joke and we ended up laughing With him more often than not. (Things like staying in the darkest corner became a running gag with him where he'd always try to find one.) Then again, he also gave his character a Massive deception so he was able to lie super easily. In fact, he convinced the entire party that he had dark vision (obviously he didn't) and so he ended up leading us through some super dark sewers! As a note, the rest of us Had dark vision which made it all the funnier. Sorry for putting this as a response to yours, your comment just made me think of this character.
I sort of did that in the first campaign I was in during lockdown. It was an Edo Japan-themed game and I played a samurai who was working as part of a sadistic samurai cult, aloof and disinterested and only joining the party to get access to village information for a potential "purge". Then the party saved my life and I got to return the favour soon after. Chivalry I canonically knew my clan wouldn't carry out due to their nigh-eugenic "survival of the fittest philosophy". And so my edginess was buffered and I became a double agent aiming to bring my cult down from the inside. Edginess is fine, as long as you start with something and progress the character and explore their flaws as you go on, not just expecting them to be a badass all the way through.
The "edgelord" who's big reveal is that they're just really socially anxious and as such they try to stay away from people/not talk much/keep a constant poker face (while screaming internally). They can smooth-talk some because they practiced the sentence in their head a hundred times, that kinda thing.
Maybe a character who appears really edgy but is actually very much not: - Appears to be brooding in a corner, but is actually wondering what to have for dinner - Collection of knives... and other cutlery they find rare and/or interesting - Parents are dead, but was adopted by a loving, supportive (and very much alive) couple - Doesn't talk much; they just don't have much to add to the conversation
That's the funny thing about furries. A lot of them, maybe 90-95%, are normal chill people. But when you encounter that remaining 5-10%, it's like they are trying to harness the potential cringe of the majority into themselves. And sadly they are the ones that get the most attention.
Dude Zander sounds like a badass! I really like characters that can't be defeated that outshine the players of the game, epic story, can't wait to see Zander RP playing with himself, should be lit
It's guys like this that gives furries a bad name, and they're easy to remember and latch onto. But honestly, if you never mentioned they were a furry or that their characters were anthro/furry you'd never know from their actions alone.
First: Thank you so much for not putting interjections in these stories! Second: Thank you for not just hating on furries and punching us to death! Third: Hi.
How do you pay for roads and supplying the military if not with taxes? Are corporations paying for the military? Are roads meant to require a toll to travel on and thus only those who can afford to pay for roads have the privilege of traveling on roads? That might not make for the most effective economy.

A lot of these stories feature people that I feel like are way too passive when dealing with such insane amounts of disrespect. Example: A gay couple playing with a homophobe who threatens to kill them in real life. I don't play dungeons & dragons but I enjoy listening to these stories. And it seems like a great majority of them feature people who don't have strong personal boundaries or how to vocalize or act on them.
@@dxcSOULa lot of people that play DnD do it to escape the scary reality of the real world. A lot of roleplayers have anxiety, mental disorders, stress problems etc etc.

Almost surprised the line wasn't used by the furry here, considering how Sonic is popular among furry groups.
I still find it so funny the english dub for Shadow the hedgehog was so terrible it basically turned the character into an edgelord and he has stayed that way so far lmao.
Whilst he himself has mostly black spines and is directly related to the leader of said extraterrestrials that also have black dominate their color scheme, mind you. So not only is the English dub of Shadow the Hedgehogs edgier than a chainsword made of chainswords, it also has the titular protagonist say a hypocritical small paragraph.
Don't worry he had the black creatures pass

As a furry, I tend not to make furry characters that don't explicitly fit the campaign setting, or make a campaign including those elements when I DM. Makes things go easier a lot more often that way.
@Nora Fox Boy Something else, most likely called animal people, the term is usually that animal and their pronoun like catgirls, dogboys etc, furrys are full-on animals with human habits/behavior also called anthros
@Nora Fox Boy I mean by the very definition of the term furry I’d imagine anything that you could describe as a human animal hybrid would more than likely fall under that umbrella.
Well then you’re a rare breed, pun intended.
I'm kinda the same way but when it's dnd I tend to avoid the more human races because the non human races tend to have more going on inately that I can build from as a story element. Like right now I'm playing a lizard folk and their gods and culture in dnd are what made me pick it. Like their only god is an uncaring and unfeeling God of survival and that is what there society is based on. No morals or hang ups, just as long as it gets you through to the next day then it is worth doing. As a story element that's cool to me because making my back story for my character is one of my favorite things about creating characters.
@Nora Fox Boy Something else I agree. Ears and tail do not make you a fur but I would classify many demons as furs Arcanaloth? Obviously furry but even obvious demons like Tiefling are your call if you add animal features to them but by default, I would say no but like catboys they are furry adjacent. Oh, and they still use clothing... fur does not count as clothing no matter how warm it keeps you.

yep
You have become my new obsession to watch. Thank you for being great! And your reading/story telling Is so soothing and relaxing
Why would Lorenzo watch some girl who has been contaminated with a black man
Theory. The reason furries get a lot of the worst cringe people, is that cringe people hear the stereotypes and think that their behavior is okay in the furry fandom so "convert" so they don't have to be better people. Then they become "burned furs" when they get rejected.
Sounds right
Same thr are orr altright groups ther too , basically everyone is welcome. Which has the downside of THAT furries too.
its mostly because the furry fandom is full of people unwilling to let go of their childlike wonder or behaviors. in most cases this is fine as it just brings a bit more childlike wonder back to an adult's life, but...well....unless you accept that you are in fact an adult and not in fact a child it will be a problem.
my personal theory is that cringe people join furry groups based on their surface level liking of anthro characters, usually these groups are kind and welcoming and have a fare share of people too shy to call them on their bullshit. eventually the group has enough and stops accepting their behavior, causing the cringe individual to look for a "More accepting" group. through this method they filter themselves through different groups of furries that tried to help them stop being cringe and started to move towards groups that accept and encourages this behavior looking for a place to fit in. These echo chambers grow over time accepting more of these types of individuals making them believe that their behavior is, or should be, accepted by everyone else, those that doesn't accept it are the "biggots" that wont accept people for who they are and are the "False furries" because "the community should be welcoming to everyone!" thus they force their cringey behavior on any social interaction they have.
Not far off, it is also that as a genre of weirdos that are very open about sexy fun times they see it as universal in the fandom just because as weirdos we know of other weird stuff and are open to all the weird behaviour. Just because there is weird vore stuff on furry sites does not mean we all like it for instance
DMPC's aren't always so bad, as long as the DM realizes, its not his story/all about that character. Sometimes I've heard of DMPC's that were made as a hint button, if the PC's get stumped, or get too lost. Also, a good point for people to remember: Don't play D&D with people you distrust/detest/disagree with. It'll translate into the game 98.999999999...9% of the time.
Yeah. Best one I saw was when a DMPC was used almost as a "training wheels" character for a group of mostly new players. They basically were there to give an in-game nudge, keep the game flowing when the others got stumped what to do and to heal other characters.
DMPC's are great if used well, they can fill in gaps that the party has, add characters the player's care about to the mix and help nudge the story and players in the right direction.
The problem is if the DM threat them as protagonists, DMPCs should never be the focus of the story, or make decisions for the group, or be the strongest member of the group.
Agreed. When I introduce dmpcs its usually someone that has extra info that can naturally share info with the party and more importantly can fill in any missing roles. Usually a healer since most of my players like doing damage.
I played one campaign where the DMPC was the Cleric because none of the other players chose a healing class. The DM even played the character like he had no idea what was coming next, which made him just another character played by the DM in our group.
Unlike you I LOVE DND AND THINK THAT EVEN IN A MERE 1.1% CHANCE IT IS WORTH THE RISK BEACOUSE THE REWARD IS AMAZING DND
These horror stories of DMPCs make me glad I only ever have mine act as "team medic" types or "Team meat shield" or some other useful gimmick that the party might want/need.
How hard is it to make a character that your party would want around? Apparently very.
I've run DMPCs in many games and it's perfectly feasible to make them both useful and likeable. I guess the simple answer to why some people apparently can't is because they're putting them in for the wrong reasons.
Fizban started out as a DMPC and there's a reason people like him
I have one in a game I currently DM, Pride. They're an elemental attuned to negative emotions(Called a Negative Primordial), but were trapped in a ring that one of the characters acquired. They had a choice of using the ring's magical on-use skill and potentially killing Pride, or helping him. The group chose to help him, eventually learning he was a shy, soft spoken type who was captured by the main antagonists and soul-siphoned into a ring for their sick experiments.
They were able to free him by reverse engineering one of the antagonists' own machines, and now can call on Pride if they need him. (He's always one level lower than the party, and is focused on ranged support and stealth. And in order to 'level him up' they'd have to send him on missions or take him along. Sort of like a retainer. They've so far used him to great effect with scouting for information, or even escape routes so far!).
I agree. I use DMPC's quite a lot too. They're great for narratively nudging your PC's a certain way without railroading too much in the written modules and allow your players to form a balanced party using whatever they like. (As the dmpc can fill whatever party role gap they've left.)
I saw a story once of someone who had a DMPC paladin that the players actually became fond of. I don't remember the details, as I saw the story years ago on a tumblr post, but the gist of it is that this setting had an evil king, and the party was searching for a bunch of artifacts to stop the king. Throughout the story, the DMPC would occasionally leave the party, during which is when the really big fights would occur, leaving the PCs, not the DMPC, to take all the glory in conquering these battles. At the end of the campaign, the DM revealed that the paladin was the evil king, but that he wasn't necessarily evil himself, just...corrupted, I guess? The paladin was a sort of "split personality" of the king, or, more accurately, the king was a split personality of the paladin. The paladin-king /wanted/ the players to stop him, and helped them collect the artifacts to that end, leading to a very tearful final battle in which the PCs had to kill someone they considered a friend.
My point being, DMPCs can be handled really well, even when they are a major player in the plot like that. All these DMs who just want to make the biggest and baddest characters to outshine their players are just really, really bad storytellers.
They were getting in an arm wrestling match and everyone was having a good time
All. Except. Fehkar.
Dude, the first story's homebrew setting was AWESOME and I wanna play the shit outta that. I'm not even a furry but damn that's interesting. Like... reminds me of that theoretical science documentary that had to do with animals evolving into sapient lifeforms akin to Homo-Sapiens.

Damn, NSR would actually be a super interesting d&d setting. I'd guess instead of classes I'd be your genre of music and and weapons would be your instrument. Oh yeah, it's all coming together.
@@aaronhussey8522 or alternatively you have the classes, but then everyone uses different styles. like you could have a barbarian who uses rock and another who uses hip-hop. it'd genuinely be awesome.
@@TheBonkleFox so would genres basically be races then? If so, that could work well.
@@aaronhussey8522 Not really "races", per se. Just more of an aesthetic you could use to style your moveset around.
As you can probably tell from my icon, I would 100% play in that campaign.
"The bad ones are really really bad" I mean, yeah, we can say that about anything but let's face it, this isn't a story about crappy furries, its a story about crappy people who don't have a social compass or work well with others.
Underrated comment.
You could replace the word furry with anything here and the story would remain the same, its only emphasized cuz of clickbait-y nature of Furry Cringe.
"EDGIEST C.o.d. player EXPLODES into racist rant"
Nobody would click on a video title like that because we all know thats just kinda how it is. but because its furries here its more appealing.
honestly the whole idea of a "lone wolf" character is kinda silly, cause when lone wolves leave a pack, it tends to be because either there was a dispute in leadership or food is scarce, and it's typically the latter. even then when a wolf matures they leave their own pack to either start their own or join another, which helps with genetic diversity and making sure resources in one area isnt overused. if anything a wolf character would prolly treat a ground or party as their pack, and do their best to make sure everyone gets along and works together, not act like a dick. of course, that's just one interpretation of how one could be played, but personally that's prolly how i would play a wolf character; a level-headed person who treats their party as family and does anything to make sure they all are well.
Yeah I always thought the lone wolf stereotype odd considering they are very social animals and have strong familial bonds. Wolves evolved to cooperate. They don't do well on their own especially since their main prey (elk) are so large and difficult to take down.
Yeah they really don’t know a lot about wolves but just like the look I guess (I mean I love wolves in every way too but I also love the animal the most) and the animals are very pack oriented, the lone wolf is often the outcast in not a badass edgy way, but a sickly, stranded rogue wolf way. They usually get picked off by other packs or die from starvation.
The same thing of people talking about the “alpha wolf” which isn’t really a thing. The “alpha” so to speak, is like the carer of the pack. Looks after the pups and keeps them warm.
The OP unironically calls elements of the NCR, like taxes, "cringe" (I mean taxes suck but they arent "cringe") yet refers to a furry NCR special forces squadron called The Cheezers as "great." Also is a furry himself, is playing with other middle aged furries in a furry oriented game. Girlfriend plays a bunny love interest.
Anything that happens he brought on himself...
I would like to take note of a very important element of that first story:
Most people were in some way part of the furry community, and all except one were decent people. I'd like to thank OP for taking the time to show that this had nothing to do with the problem player being a fur.
The framing of the first story left a sour taste. The outstanding characteristic of the player wasn't that he was a furry; all of them were furries. He was a racist incel. But it was still framed as "cringey furry."
The second story though? Yeah, fair enough.
Yeahh it bothered me how the first story was framed as "a furry ruins a friend group's campaign".
Not only were they almost all furries, but that fact was only relevant as to why basically every character except OP was some sorty of anthro. The fact the bad player was a furry had zero bearing on his behavior.
I haven't been a furry in years & never really actively engaged in the community other than going to one con and posting some art on FA, but it still drives me nuts watching ppl get shit on just for being furries. The general furry community is actually super cool, open-minded, and accepting of others as long as they aren't hurting anyone.
@@RinoGato There was an episode of the show CSI that came out in 2003. It was a lot of peoples introduction to furries & the episode depicted it as if they were all sexual deviants & the entire reason for furry conventions was to basically have big orgies in their suits. It became commonplace to mock them as some sort of sexual deviants after that to the point that I once saw a news story about a furry convention that was a victim of a gas attack and saw 19 people hospitalized and the news reporters were literally just *making fun of them.* They were literally laughing at people who had inhaled chlorine gas and were in the hospital because they happened to be wearing fursuits.
It's not as bad nowadays, but I still run into people nowadays who think furries are sexual deviants trying to find legal ways to get around their zoophilia. I really think those two events that happened so close to each other really set a social precedent for many. Their first introduction to furries was open mocking and public humiliation at their expense and some people just never questioned why that is horribly wrong and messed up.
@@RinoGato It doesn't help that often, when people hear about a community, it's because of its deviants.
I feel like OP did that specifically because most of the times, these kind of stories go like "And then there was Bob, the furry pedophile and problematic player, who tried to woo the only minor at the table" without taking a second to think or specify that the "furry" part had nothing to do with the situation.
@Stumpanelli No. Did you read any of the comments here?
The DM on the second one sounds like a talented and creative DM who is ruined by an attraction to power fantasies and simple sadism. The finale to the story was a missed opportunity. This DM could have gained a lot of good will by bringing out Zander and finally allowing his precious cat-monster to be utterly defeated, torn apart, and sent into the void once and for all. It would have done wonders for the friendship, and the D&D group likely would have survived. Unfortunately, it seems that this idiot would rather have Zander than friends. (I like the name "Zander" - going forward, I think a bad overpowered DMPC should be called a Zander.)
Makes me glad that whenever my DM wants to introduce a character that has the potential to not be well received, he explains the concept of the character and asks if it's okay. Unless it's a bad guy npc. Then I'm told "I have this bad guy I can't wait for you to meet and you are going to hate them." He's done a really good job on making bad guy characters I want to punch in the face!😁
I asa dm made bad guys they hate... But bad guys they like as well. Those create some awesome moments and party struggle.
i'm a furry and say Lorenzo should stick with his adult toys, because that is how close he will ever get to being with woman.
"NCR without cringe shit like taxes"
Me reading this after being treated for free at local public hospital since my taxes serves some purpose
The moment he sent the DMs about how the girlfriend should of left OP that should of been the end of his presence in the group.
Back in the day. These “players” would just get the snot beat out of them then blacklisted.
I miss those days
Damn, haven't heard the term "Snot beaten out of them" In years
@@BlinkingEldrichRoses Funny, I tend to use it in english class or or on the internet even if Im hungarian. It sounds so fashionoble, yet stil child-friendly...
Damn I wish that happened today
You don't mean that to ALL furries, right? Cuz this is just a small group of the fandom, that the rest of us hate ourselves because of them. A lot of us are quiting because of them. They're ruining our fandom. Please kick the snot outta them, I can't deal with the hate anymore.
If I did use a DMPC, I'd use them to fill in a needed role - Healer, Sneak, Tank - anything but Face - players pick a guy to be the Face, even if I managed to bring in a guy with a Decent Charisma and Charisma-based skills - such skills would be for side jobs or off-screen info collecting in case the players don't roll well enough talking to the Mayor or whatever leader they were chatting with.
The DMPC's reason for being with the party would mainly be money, to pay the bills, and to increase their reputation. In combat, he'd be either run by the Players (like a Sidekick), or just have him stay in the back with whatever NPCs the group was escorting, stopping enemy reinforcement from getting through, or whatever.
8:50 HOW COULD IT GET WORSE?!?!
I swear to god as someone who grew up loving wolves and would more than likely have a wolf for a fursona/oc, its people like this that make me anxious to admit that I like wolves because of that basic edgelord stereotype.
The thing i've noticed about furries is that the vast majority of them have at least one of their personality traits exaggerated to the extreme. Even as a furry and knowing where to look, its still sometimes difficult to hold normal conversations with them.
Furries are many things, Sociable is not one of them, so its really no wonder they arent held in a good light.
@@FoxInnaHat I have encountered some that are fairly sociable and tolerable, and they can honestly be good conversation. But yeah, most times you come across one that just makes you feel uncomfortable in general. It's too bad they all get lumped into the same bad group by the public because of a small percent of psychos like Lorenzo. There are some good ones out there, as crazy as that might sound to some
Real life wolves are awesome, there's no shame in admiring nature's good boys
Yep. And there's not an awful lot of truth in any of the stereotypes humans have created for them. They mostly just want to hang out with their pack, do wolfy things, and keep their heads down.
As someone who doesn't really get furries, wolves are incredibly intelligent social animals. Don't let an unsociable moronic spat of feces ruin your love for those amazing beasts. Always keep in mind just how much of a polar opposite they are.
The thing that saddens me here is the apparent hate towards DMPCs. They can be done right, and in certain cases such as 1 on 1 games they can be crucial for the game. Plus, most of the time it's the party itself that won't ever let some NPCs go. The Wild Beyond the Witchlight has a plethora of such characters XD
I think what you're thinking of there is either NPCs or hirelings.
DMPC is when the dungeon master is also a full-on player with a Player Character.
Yes, that is an NPC. DMPC is where the DM plays a character in his/her own game, except this character probably won't do any stupid mistakes, will know everything in advance, and probably won't be attacked as badly. If it is done right, it is not a DMPC, it is an NPC. DMPC is always wrong.
@@Poldovico ...I gave my players some DMPC every now and then, but I was always careful to follow the golden rules:
1) they must never be too strong
2) they must never steal the spotlight
3) they must be useful
4) if they can make the players laugh, so much the better.
If you do that, the players will probably love them. I'm speaking from experience here.
@@alarkhar What makes something like that a DMPC as opposed to an NPC?
@@Poldovico When they're part of the team and actively support their actions (i.e. they pull their weight in combat) they're DMPCs.
For example, once (it was at the time of D&D4) my team was missing its so-called healer, the bard (I say "so called" because he'd rather climb a tree and snipe than stick around and play support, with the end result that the paladin bled himself dry trying to keep the party alive), so I sent in Ultorth Stonehands, cleric of Moradin. I told them that I wouldn't steal their thunder, and I kept my word. I only used his at-wills, one that gave them a little bonus to hit and one that gave temporary HP. They did little or no damage, but helped them mow down the opponents just fine.
By the end of the session, the players asked me if they could ditch the bard and keep Ultorth.
THAT was when I knew I had done a good job.
Furries and Otakus could stand in solidarity at the smaller yet loud , reputation shattering, utter cringe portion of their respective fandoms. The may the utter repugnance be rooted out as soon and as well as possible because... eww.
Agreed.

the first story gave me an aneurysm, the second one ruptured the aneurism as soon as i heard *cat sex god*. thanks, I'm fucking dead now
I've never played D&D before, but if I were ever to DM, my first DMPC is going to be a very weak and cowardly scholar that hires the party to escort him on his journey to find blahblahblah macguffin, but have that lead into BBEG being introduced and killing the scholar.
Then it's revealed that the scholar was cursed by the BBEG with resurrection because his weakness was humorous to him.
So the scholar would appear as a spirit for awhile to the party and follow them around before being pulled into the ground and becoming flesh again, but he would have to claw his way back out, every time he dies, which would be fairly frequently, as I would want the scholar to gradually become more and more brave, even if he definitely does not have (and will never have) the power to back it up lol
Just sort of a "yeah im weak, but I'll live forever, biatch! Come get me!"

Why be a furry then? You can still like anthropomorphic animals and furry made content without the label.
@@SuperNiceteeth Because perhaps they *are* a furry and it's okay to be a furry? You can still a be a furry and not be cringy or a edgelord...
My best advice is even if you are a furry and make a have a character with edgy qualities just make sure they have depth or other qualities about them!
What that person did was just disgusting, he didn't need to be a furry for ANYBODY to see/agree on that.
Don't let your fear smother yourself away from having fun or enjoying things you like! Like said before, just make sure there's more to your character than *just* being a animalistic character, or edgy.
I've had a "edgy fox prince" who was never seen as a bad or annoying. Despite the people I was with not being furries or one or two being anti-furry they enjoyed the adventure we were on.
I had it that my character, Despite being from a rich royal family had many siblings. His chances of gaining access to those riches or the throne was low from all the competition. Thus he'd go on a journey to gain popularity or attention from his parents. I gave him flaws, and more personality than just edgy qualities. I made him grow and value things more as he adventure with the party. Realize there is more important things than gold & riches. In the end he found out his rich family gets their fortune from doing dirty things and my character ends up going against his family to put a stop to it, asking the party for help. A huge turnaround and character development from the first day he met them from being too prideful to ask for help to fully accepting their help as comrades & friends.
You should be afraid of telling people just for the fact that you'd be admitting to be a furry
@@SuperNiceteeth Liking anthropromorphic content and furry made content are literally the only two defining characteristics of a furry though o-o

Wow I actually had an experience close to the first story. I played with a guy like Lorenzo before, except he wasn't a furry. He was also a racist. My gf didn't play the campaign with us but she liked to watch our sessions sometimes. He had a crush on my gf before I was dating her and he accused me of "stealing her" from him (even though they never dated) and he accused her of being a "race traitor" because we were an interracial couple.

The guy being a racist creep edgelord in the first story had absolutely nothing to do with him being a furry. They were *all* running a dedicated furry-themed campaign together.
Sadly "Wow!!! Furry bad!!!" Seems to be a popular theme in TTRPG horror story circles.
Right, and this kind of edginess is just as common among Anime fans, Gamers, and let's be honest, roleplayers.

They were NOT over-reacting. In fact, my reaction would have been much more confrontational than theirs. If anything, I think they handled it extremely calmly. People with glory characters always irked me and I still hate it to this day in any medium.
It's fine to create an all-powerful character for a fantasy setting but the context matters. In most context, every character needs weaknesses regardless of their power. If it bleeds, it can die.

It’s almost like he felt more sorry for the monk than the player, lol.

"This furry is a flaming racist..... so anyways thanks to our sponsor" XD idk why that was so funny to me
I never understood the hate for the NCR. Like, everyone wants what they offer. people to create infrastructure, an army to protect them, a functional society, and an economy. But no one wants to contribute through taxes, which is the very thing that makes it possible in the first place.
NCR has problems, like the warmongering, the colonialism, and a lot of corruption. But weird fuckin libertarians just hate the taxes. Lol
“She starts ranting in Spanish”
Oh that neck beard is DEAD. Hasta mañana si dios quieres
That story reminds me of the animated movie Rock and Rule where after a war animals mutated and became anthro; pretty cool I must say.
Did Saber Spark open you up to that one? Shame that movie got chopped up and poorly advertised. I enjoyed the crap out of that.
Also, Mok's lip animations were on a whole new level of smooth.
I really liked that movie, but to be fair there is no reason why the characters should be anthro, if they were humans wouldn't change anything for the story. Aesthetic choice, I think...
That film was the most bizarre combination of good and bad.
...that Zander character straight up sounds like a Slanneshi Daemon.
Yep, that sounds pretty much exactly like what a Daemon from 40K would do. I hope that he doesnt think that Zander is anything more than a Daemon Prince, but I strongly suspect that he views the twisted thing as some kind of good being.
Been a 40k fan for years, I don't recall any furry cat sex gods in the canon lore. Sounds like a tryhard felinid Slaaneshi daemon prince or some shit. I run a 40k rp server and I've rejected a lot of similar character submissions. The worst I've ever seen was an edgy Catachan that included a grotesque description of his pubic hair in the sheet.
I'm also pretty into 40k and this is the first I'm hearing of a "cat sex god". Like I know 40k has some whacky stuff but this doesn't sound real
i was trying to search critcrab but it came out as critcrit and now im picturing the image of a sentient nat 20 telling me reading a reddit post
As a general rule, if furries are involved, I try and make it feel less like Zootopia and more like Kung Fu Panda. Plus, there's already plenty of humanoid-animal races to choose from, with more for you dragon lovers thanks to Fizzban's
Uh...have dumplings and mystery soup as metaphors?
I gotta get fizban's sometime
Oh come on. That guy made Slaanesh even creepier. Didn't know that was possible
Yeah, honestly by that point I wouldn't be surprised if Slaanesh themselves were hitting the Exterminatus button with that horrendous abomination in existence.
I wanna make an edge lord character that has an actual reason for being distant. At first. They would eventually open yo ti the party.
If you ever figure it out, let me know. The only way I've ever seen an "edgelord" played well was in my campaign where a friend of mine was playing one. He turned it into a joke and we ended up laughing With him more often than not. (Things like staying in the darkest corner became a running gag with him where he'd always try to find one.) Then again, he also gave his character a Massive deception so he was able to lie super easily. In fact, he convinced the entire party that he had dark vision (obviously he didn't) and so he ended up leading us through some super dark sewers! As a note, the rest of us Had dark vision which made it all the funnier.
Sorry for putting this as a response to yours, your comment just made me think of this character.
I sort of did that in the first campaign I was in during lockdown. It was an Edo Japan-themed game and I played a samurai who was working as part of a sadistic samurai cult, aloof and disinterested and only joining the party to get access to village information for a potential "purge".
Then the party saved my life and I got to return the favour soon after. Chivalry I canonically knew my clan wouldn't carry out due to their nigh-eugenic "survival of the fittest philosophy". And so my edginess was buffered and I became a double agent aiming to bring my cult down from the inside.
Edginess is fine, as long as you start with something and progress the character and explore their flaws as you go on, not just expecting them to be a badass all the way through.
The "edgelord" who's big reveal is that they're just really socially anxious and as such they try to stay away from people/not talk much/keep a constant poker face (while screaming internally). They can smooth-talk some because they practiced the sentence in their head a hundred times, that kinda thing.
that's the right way to play. edgelords just need therapy and the power of friendship tbh.
Maybe a character who appears really edgy but is actually very much not:
- Appears to be brooding in a corner, but is actually wondering what to have for dinner
- Collection of knives... and other cutlery they find rare and/or interesting
- Parents are dead, but was adopted by a loving, supportive (and very much alive) couple
- Doesn't talk much; they just don't have much to add to the conversation
as a furry, I love to look at these kinds of furries and thank the divines i didn't end up like one of these guys.
That's the funny thing about furries. A lot of them, maybe 90-95%, are normal chill people. But when you encounter that remaining 5-10%, it's like they are trying to harness the potential cringe of the majority into themselves. And sadly they are the ones that get the most attention.
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.
"anthropomorphic CAT GOD from the 40k universe..." That's the herey, right there. The finest sort even!
It sounds like he was designing a dark eldar character but he just couldn't resist his furry impulses and HAD to make him an anthro cat god.
I’m glad that CritCrab acknowledges the fact that not all furies are bad
Dude Zander sounds like a badass! I really like characters that can't be defeated that outshine the players of the game, epic story, can't wait to see Zander RP playing with himself, should be lit
It's guys like this that gives furries a bad name, and they're easy to remember and latch onto.
But honestly, if you never mentioned they were a furry or that their characters were anthro/furry you'd never know from their actions alone.
