Personally, as a Christian, I actually feel like my faith and my love for animals/animal characters go pretty hand in hand.
I mean, I believe that God created them. If so, then that makes God the OG character designer. I'm technically just appreciating and admiring his art.
@@JJsWithJesus I wish I knew some IRL, but at least we have the internet :)
ive never actually gotten bullied for being a furry, but i have protected others from it. its kinda what i do
i never get bullied because i try to act normal while neat my friends
I've only been bullied by my cousin, but his sister and my friends support me but I'm gonna tell my mom when ever I'm 18 so I can move out XD
“Do furries go to heaven?” Yes. Furry is a hobby and has little bearing on religious belief. “Are furries against the Bible?” Yes and no. Furries are people and can form their own opinions about religion. Great video Solarsabre! I love the new outro! ❤️
I personally am a Christian myself and I am also furry so
@Sexy Furry girl Did you even think that sentence through? I am IN hell idiot, fighting demons in hell is my job.
"Why do furries have so much money?"
Haha! *We don't.*
@@SimonCrazyCatGaudet yes the fursuits cost so much and that's precisely why we don't
personally me being a furry is a side hobby. it’s not my main focus and i don’t let it really define me in my day-to-day life outside of the internet
edit: i mean… i do wanna be a zookeeper so now that i think about it i kind of do lmao

“Why are furries rich?”
Me in the corner: *if I imagine hard enough I will become rich![insert science maniac laughter]*
I’ve been around for a long time now and honestly I’m excited to see ads n your videos. It means you’ve come from a beginning creator to someone who’s gathers a large audience and continues to grow
Thank you! But UA-cam has started putting ads on all videos even if the creator is small and can’t profit from it unfortunately ^^;
@@solarsaber it is disappointing to hear…however the content I think would more than deserve monetization and I can’t wait to see how far this grows! Thank you for the great content!
@@solarsaber I think it’s like 1k subs or more? Like I have 96 subs and (I think) three of my vids have 1k and I have gotten add on them, so I think it’s like that. Idk though, just from my personal experience!
"Some peoe think that furries are against the bible?"
Christian furries: *Am i a joke to you?*
I think the “can furries go to heaven” thing started because of this guy on tik tok who said, “Furries can’t go to heaven because they dress up like animals to be an animal which is rejecting god’s human form he has given you.” The guy’s an idiot. But yeah, that may be why that question is getting popular 😂
@@LoafLoafLoaf oh a lot of Christians love to just furiously deny that fact (including my parents)
@@funnyvideoguy3216Same here, but for reasons outside of the furry fandom.
I feel like general friendlyness of furry community has decreased alot in past few years there starting to be alot of in fighting and general people spreading hate of late and it makes me kinda sad and it's changed alot from where I first started I first started because everyone was accepted regardless of race gender sexuality but now people are starting to judge each other based on that in the furry community just my observation of late why I've kinda distanced my self from the community lately and there's alot of artest or big named furs becoming toxic and ego centric because of how much attention they get and it's going to there heads and therefore effecting there fans to act the same way
This is a problem I’ve seen in so many communities that frankly, I’m scared to get even somewhat in the internet. Sometimes I can’t even look through a comment section sometimes without whatever people replying starting a full fledged war, and sometimes it’s not even related to the comment itself. It’s just fighting for the sake of it! I’ve seen so much drama in and out of the internet that I’m just tired..
It especially sucks because I want to start animation and art on my channel, but I’m scared that whatever outside forces like the art and furry community will just tarnish it for me and take the fun away from it.😕
@@rami9392 I find it doubtful it's just been going farther and farther downhill
It could be because the fandom is growing and is attracting some problematic members, which would make it seem like the community is getting more toxic.
Edit: Also can't forget about the trolls
@@IC7oaN it has even less problematic members than it used to have. it's just that one guy says some really dumbass hot take and people start magnifying it
How I became a furry:
That one day when me and my sibling literally just kept rewatching robinhood for like 5-7 hours straight.
Don’t ask why.
We just did.
It's a pretty fun movie. Also it might be the reason that millenials and gen Z have a deep rooted hate towards selfish rich scumbags.
@@internetlurker1850 Are you saying gen Z hates furries? Because I'ma gen z furry. I guess I'm gen Z idk.
for me, it was like 7 repeats of the entire show of beastars and bna
"I really don't understand why drawing animals is against the bible" Exactly.
“Some furries are attracted to anthropomorphic animals”
**shows image of Raven team leader**
Me: SIMP MODE ACTIVATE
What the fuck is this guys i’m sorry i was so cringe 2 years ago 🗿 Also i’m changing it from legoshi to Raven team leader
@@whydoiexist._.3585 being attracted to an animal is still an animal whether it’s humanoid or not.
The other name for Therians is Otherkin, I believe! I am not one myself, but it is interesting (and a tad strange) to hear about them.
therians identify as earthly beings, and otherkin as beings not prooven to exist or have ever existed on earth.
@@matheusinacio5455 otherkins and therians are deferent. therians believe that they were an animal in their past life, have the soul of an animal or feel really spiritually connected to an animal. otherkins are the same thing but instead of animals they are for example, vampires or fairies or elves ^^
@Aiyanna Sewall yes I know, I was just explaining therianthropy on a more simplified level
Therians believe there are spiritually connected to an animal they don’t believe they ARE animals
@@sheinaragners They don't either its the same definition, but with other identities in the mix, otherkin is an umbrella term.
I just love how you use splatoon music in the background. Splatoon is my favorite Nintendo game! But since I only have a Wii U, I only have splatoon 1 😔
they’re coming out with a 3rd one in 2023 i think, check if it’ll be available on wii u!!
@@F_NerdShark for me, it’s the first shooter game i’m actually good at. i love the art and music that’s put into it. not to mention the lore and such. they have in game clothes brands and music bands, it’s such a thought out game.
I'm not a furry myself, but I am *so glad* you made this video!!
Honestly, I'm tired of furries being attacked for literally no reason just cause of the toxic section of the community- all communities have toxic parts, yet people seem to focus on the "bad" parts of this community.
Furries are just genuinely good people with a hobby. Why would you bash on that??
We need more people to just.. help explain furries, so they aren't portrayed as something scary.
You should do this format more often. I think it's good for new furries or people who want to understand what furries are. I think a furry can answer those questions so much better than the internet. Also rally nice new outro ^^
This is really interesting to watch my guy
@Matheus Inácio i think they are using it as a general term towards mentioning someone, at least I don’t use it to only guys but idk lol

“How do furries become furries?”
Me personally: *The Click*
@@eeveearoace He may not consider himself one, but he's an honorary member anyway.
Do atheists go to hell,
No
Do antifurs go to hell
Yes, absolutely yes, straight to the boiler
Antifurries don't go to hell unless they're a full-on furry hater. One of my friends is an antifurry, but he knows if he doesn't bother the furries, the furries won't bother him. I'm a furry myself, but he doesn't hate me for it because I don't bother him about it. There's a difference between a furry hater and an antifurry.
I like how people say “furries” like its a different breed xD like all these questions make it seem like furries arent human
I dont really see it that way. That's what we're called--how else do you want people to get google (or literally anybody for that matter) to figure out what they're talking about?
4:50
trauma, abuse and, as mentioned, bullying
We come from a dark personal history....
3:57 The following reasons are why I'm a furry today:
Rael the protogen
Majeria strawberry (I probly misspelled that)
Randomly stumbling opon a con video
Solarsaber
Random memes I found
Other UA-camrs I can't spell the names of
Furry characters in video games (mostly RPGs)
In my experience with the community there are quite a few people with issues in their lives ranging from school issues to abuse to neglect…. there is a lot of suffering. I am happy that everyone here supports one another so much.
“Can furries go to heaven” no, We are immortal, duh
1:16
Omg so trueee
Once we where talking Abt my cousin and I was saying how she used to think she was an animal
And then my friends was like ‘oohhhhh so she’s a furry’ 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Disgusting
For the question "why are furries so rich" maybe some people think furries because some fursuits are really expensive
its my opinion!
I told my whole class that i was a furry and got stared at. Half of the class rejected me but it was actually according to my plan,because now i know who's supportive and who isn't.
Sometimes it's better to be open about yourself than save it for later just to get more hurt but i'm still quite upset about it ,that's all i wanted to share
The best representation of furries in media that I have seen is an episode of Lucifer. I'm not saying it was the best but I still think that it was fairly accurate. I think it would be cool to see you react to the episode.
Yeah they even had real fursuiters in the background! Ofc not perfect, but I think they tried at least a bit
Yes furries can goto heaven. We were created with the power to entertain each other.
As a Christian furry, I love all the SFW art and seeing all the awesome OCS and suits
I came into the fandom because everyone was so welcoming
Furries are generally awesome people with amazing creativity and skills
I also have a few friends who are LGBT members and they are amazing people who I love to spend time with
I even found out there are Christian Furry panels at different cons and I wish I was able to go to cons more than ever before
I love you guys so much 😸
Funny mine was reverse I joined because everyone who wasn't a furry was toxic
This is what I'll send someone next time they ask me anything about furries.
i want to major in zoology and work in an actual zoo, but I’m afraid that i would be fired if people on the job found out i was a furry :( ive heard stories of people getting fired when their coworkers find out theyre a furry so its kind of discouraging
@froog honestly a reason why you can become a furry, because you want to distance yourself from idiots
In my opinion, It's really sad that furries get hate for their interests and doing what they love.
I mean, it's not just about the fursuit itself or their fursona, it's also about the fun and the smiles from other people they get. It's also a way to convey their feelings and thoughts, thoughts and feelings that are just too hard to get out with just their real faces. It's also a way to make cool hybrids. It's just those weird, dirtyminded bad people who make the furry fandom bad or even any fandom has that one bad side. I don't care if other's say that it's weird or obscure. It's cool!
The moral of the story is, the people on the best fur suits are usually great artists to commission because how else would they afford it
"Furrys don't do that, that's nasty", "Furrys love to support artists"
Me:
*looks at e621*
*googles "Bad Dragon"*
*finds out about vore trough furry fandom*

"Furries can be any animal"
Me on my way to make a house fly:
The fact that you had Fly Octo Fly as the background music fills me with so much joy
Yes the definition you gave for UwU was perfect
(UwU)
i don’t like to say uwu because i don’t wanna come off as soft, but you do you i don’t judge
as a therian, most therians don't think they are actually a animal they just want to go back one of there lives where they were an animal or they believe a part to there animal soul is trapped in there human body so they do quads to help themselves feel more computable in there body.
The other one you couldn't remember is an otherkin, its very similar to being a therian but they believe they are an animal that doesn't exist on earth for example, elves, angles, unicorns, an unnatural coloured animal, gryphons and more.
I am not an otherkin but this is what I know. I hope this helped
The fact that people think every drawing of furries is NSFW is quite annoying. Every Fandom has that, it just gets magnified for some reason. I'm really glad that people like you are explaining this.
I saw the thumbnail and i was like " Yes, why do furries. "
As I furry I came for: the art, A N I M A L S cause I love them, the kind, loving community, and animations! It depends on what you like about them and/or what made you become one.
Being a Christian furry, I can say that yes, furries can go to heaven if they choose to follow Jesus. Thanks for asking, Google
Honestly, all fandoms have their ‘dark sides’, but it doesn’t mean their based off it. And it sucks that we’re one of the only fandoms that are singled out for something like that :/
The internet is weird, they hated weebs because they liked hentai in 2016-2017 and then in 2019 since then they liked hentai, someday everyone’s gonna be a furry and then another community with nice people will be singled out.
Oh hey i absolutly love the warrior cats book series too, i read it so much just before highschool, i just found the books so unique compared to the other option i had at the time.
loved this, was super funny to watch - also i just want to drop a big thanks for the content you make, always kinda makes my day when i see an upload of yours! c:
Everyone “why are furries rich”
Furries *looks at the suspiciously wealthy furries*
Me “I’m broke as hell”
3:22
No why did I laugh-
Why would you even look that up- of course we can go to heaven-
I found out about furries like this: I got grounded from my iPhone 4 a few years ago, and so I snuck onto my dad’s iPad. I found the (2014?) dance competition, and saw Monsteroo’s dance. I was like “Whoa, that’s cool!!”
4:37 HEEEY i am a whale! :D *happy bubble noises *
Seeing as everyone's sharing their thoughts on the matter of furries, I'll give mine.
I am not a furry, and that will be apparent when I state the following; I have a very embittered stance on the fandom, no doubt influenced by my own experiences. I have been groomed by someone I thought was a friend, who was a furry, and solicited me for their fetish work when I was very young and didnt understand their intent. And I've only continued to find the worst the fandom probably has to offer. But I will say this - i dont hate the fandom, nor do i hate the genuinely passionate. It's easy for the whole to be misrepresented by a few bizarre or terrible people.
What does upset me, and what will be a bitter pill to swallow for certain, is the lack of awareness or real care made into rooting out/punishing bad people within the fandom. People have and continued to defend zoophiles, and conventions often solicit these individuals behind closed doors. And when this reaches the light, people will try and drown it out or say its false.
I'm not saying this is the majority, nor even the minority. I'm just saying my experience is bitter, and I'm glad that I am the minority here. All I'm saying is that it would be wise to distance yourselves from these parts of the fandom, as that reflects bad on everyone, and is the reason for the fandoms bad image. Otherwise, I wish you all the best. If you feel I'm wrong, feel free to correct me or clarify. all I ask is you try to understand where I'm coming from. And no ridicule - it helps no one.
I unfortunately am aware that this is an issue within the fandom, but I do feel like it may be improving slowly but surely. Most furries I know (including myself) actively oust zoos and other perverse individuals. Many furries may try to hide it in order to keep the reputation of the fandom from falling further than it already is, but hiding a problem is not fixing it. Unfortunately, as the fandom is not an organization and as such has no concrete methods of rooting out these people, many of them get away with it behind closed doors. All I and other members of the fandom can do is try our best to bring attention to it when we see it and be a counterexample.
I respect you for not letting your trauma affect your image of a general community, although I am very sorry that happened to you
Aw this was so nice to watch, I hope any furry hater who watches this can change their view on furries
@Myles Fletcher your pfp is a furry and your a furry hater..? That's cool I guess..?Also I love omori to. I checked out your channel, is fnf good?
I became a furry through my digital art side. I had come up with a character to represent myself that I had initially not considered a furry at all, but then I began considering it more and I eventually just came to the conclusion of “hey, what’s wrong with being a furry at the end of the day?” “What was the reason I didn’t want to become one?”
And now here I am, and honestly, it’s been *lovely.*
This thought is coming from me who's not a furry, but I think the notion that furries are rich comes from the fact that fur suits are extremely expensive and the most visible furries are those in fur suits, so people tend to think that all furries have that kind of money lying around.
Anyway, thanks for the vid! It helped clear up some of my questions too 😊
hey! so inspired by u. I'm currently working on turning my serval fursona Ari into a fursuit! I'm sewing up the feet-paws rn :3
I think the reason “why are furries rich” is such a frequent search is because of how much fursuits cost in the first place. The misconception is that most of us can’t afford them.
Good vid! love the outro art too btw
This video is a good video for anyone who doesn't know much about that fandom and I personally think that this video is just for fun, yk because its fun- also I got distracted from the splatoon music in the background (its really good music btw)
Not gonna lie, there’s a furry TikTokker named “heyitsthae” (or something along the lines of that) and he is a full grown adult in I think the military, and people make fun of him.
When you think you’re an animal it’s called being Otherkin I’m pretty sure,
Because therians don’t think that they’re animals, but they *act* like animals per say, it’s pretty fun.
Otherkin is an umbrella term that includes all kin, none of them think they're physically what they identify as.
Oml I love this video and idk if it sounds weird but you have such a nice voice and personality!!♡ I also jumped out of my seat basically when you mentioned the warrior cat books and STEM a lot if key points here rlly hit. I started off kinda reading those ngl and I'm a HUGE nerd in the STEM field haha one big goal is to attend a really cool college that hmu recently that do work with NASA and stuff. Anyway, for a video you had no script on, I think you did absolutely flawless and I loved it. Tysm for your wonderful content and you rlly brightened mine and probably many more people's day!
Are you planning on going into astronomy? (I'm a Geoscience major myself. Always fun to find other STEM nerds)
@@bonedustt was looking more into the field of tech and engineering but I do indeed love the science of it all and hope to continue learning more about it all.
Cant believe you added the splatoon 2 octo expansion final boss stress music! I used to play splatoon so i got a little nostalgia memory’s!
For me it was Changed, the cute boy puro full on broke all my doubts and from that moment I became one :)
i googled and i got "why do furries hate chees graters" like whatt 💀💀
Bro i Levit stopped the video and realized SPLATOON MUSIC IS PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND honestly I’ve only watched 4 of your vids and I already LOVE U
one of the things i think we forget to talk about is the Donations to Charity. i think it was Midwest Furfest in 2019 that ended up donating over a million dollars to charities. and if you look at all the Donations the furry community is doing then i would bet my ass that the furry community is the biggest Doneters to Charity. most of my own Donations go mostly to Furry Games that i really like since I'm a gamer and I'm tired of shitty AAA games that are Shit and still get away with it.
I am still very new to the furry Fandom but the people I've met are all very kind and supportive. They helped me confirm that I did in fact wish to become a furry. I still am shy and don't say it to people in public due to a lot of people I know making fun of furries but at least I can start to become what I want and am even working on an oc. It is not a very good one seeing as I can't draw it but I have been working hard on it. My point is I found people who really care and have helped me see that what I was scared about was actually something that I enjoy and makes me happier.
I searched up "Can furries"
One of the recents were, "Can furries be real?" i died-
I love the octo expansion music 😩✨
yes Yes YES!!! So true!!! Thanks for making such great content!! 👏
Yes!!!! another solar saber video :D
Great video! plus i appreciate the splatoon music lmao
keep up the amazing solar!
I'm also studying Psychology ❤ its a really cool career
I saw ur channel while checking videos on how to draw furries i rlly like ur intro:)
Great now i can't stop picturing a group of super smart furries in their fursuits debating if they can make themselves into their fursona in real life.
"No just because we can grow a ear on a mouse does not mean we can grow fur and cat ears on a person Rick!
6:03 I am a furry and I work for AMD processors.
being a furry i get allot of hate cause people usually think its a " kink " thing, thats not what furries are, ive said this to like several haters, furried are person who just like the thought of having an animal persona not all furries are in it for the kinks, but ofcourse people like to only see furries for the uwus and owos and the nsfw stuff, thats my input atleast since furries get so much hate and i love seeing a proud furry youtuber like this one making awesome videos keep up the good work
The books that sent me down furry lane were wings of fire (but also in a way one of the Narnia movies as it sent me into "griffins are cool" and then "mythological creatures are cool")
I actually got into the fandom through that one protogen maker (you know the guy!) and decided then and there to try to make a living as a fursuit maker and artist! The craftsmanship in fursuits is something that truly amazes me
I also became a furry because of the Warriors series! It is my absolute favorite, and the main of many reasons i became a furry other than being bullied for being diffrent, so i joined the fandom, and a LOT more reasons!

"Watching too many animal movies"
*Curse you, Disney..*

A bit odd
years later
Where part 2?...... Plz
For me it was Sonic The Hedgehog, and randomly finding your channel on UA-cam a year and a half ago.
Fun fact. In the earlier years of furries when the media first was introduced it was instantly the media portraying them as bad and more in a cultish vibe.
3:40 there is like a pass of the bible that says mixing gods creations is wrong so that should explain it. Tbh hell is better there is Blitzo and Stolas and Luna and Moxi and....
You need to watch beta's video about furry going to hell. Its kind of a galaxy brain moment.
Yeeeeeeeeeeees more solar!
Just a quick shout out for you! Love your videos. Oh and for some reason you sound a lot like "Ilovekimpossiblealot" who is also super fun.
just to educate you, but therians don't "believe that they're animals" they are people who either spiritually or psychologically identify as an animal. we still accept the fact that we are, physically human.
Some of us wish we WERE the fursona we pick, or the OC we make, but we aren't rabid weirdos who think we were born in the wrong bodies
yeah i think it’s a bit weird but i don’t mind cute colorful anthropomorphic animals at all
So yeah they are just cosplayers right that’s sums it right they are still humans case closed
