Hamtaro Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 what's a furry?Urban Dictionary:n., adj. In the broadest definition, someone who finds the idea of anthropomorphic (humanlike) animals, in art, fiction, cartoons, costume, or other media, to be an appealing one. Furries are an extremely diverse group and no one furry may possess all, or any, of the traits typically associated with the group; furries can range from people who are fans of old Warner Bros. and Disney cartoons; people who enjoy portraying anthropomorphic animals in art; people who enjoy imagining what a future, past or alternative world might be like if humans were replaced with or accompanied by anthropomorphic animals; and people who like wearing costume tails, ears and/or animal mascot costumes, to those who feel spiritual connections to animals or to the animal form; those who admire the beauty, power, speed or grace of of the animal form; those who believe they have empathy with or can communicate with animals, for example people who work with them; people who have a great deal of respect for animal welfare; and people who find the concept of anthropomorphic animals enjoyable in a sexual way.

HexiledRazz Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 In the end, this is just another example of why children shouldnt be allowed free access to the internet, no matter how innocent the means of connecting may seem.

Sy_Accursed Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 what's a furry?Them folks who like funny business with the animals, you see here uhmm, with the animals. Information fail. Business with an animal is beastiality.They ONLY sexual elemental of furries is finding anthropomorphic animals enjoyable.Anthropomorphic = human characteristics and form.So in the case of furries this means people in animal costumes. Oh and thou I agree with the sentiment of children need to be controlled online; its never gonna happen the internet is too widely available now and technology is still such a new feild in many ways that for the most part the childs are still > parents with it. so even if controls are in place they can bypass them through the parents failing on passcodes etc Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youmu Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 What the heck? I've never heard of a furry commit sexual-related crimes. :blink: Even then though there are far more extreme furries on the internet. Some of the most infamous furries are from the very franchise I've been a fan of a long time... Creepy.

Wingless Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Upon discovering that the alleged victim was also a resident of Greece, Kretovic set up a meeting. It was during this meeting that police say he sexually abused the young boy. Enough said. Which idiot is stupid enough to meet up with someone, who, probably sounds a lot older, and you met online.

Harakiri Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I feel kind of wrong laughing at this story, but just seeing the face of the man behind bars I knew he was a creep. Seriously though, what does his being a furry have to do with the story? The homosexual part is what should have been accentuated because that's the only reason he abused that underage boy, it wasn't because the boy was in a fur suit. As a journalist myself, I don't see the relevance of that point nor why it is the headline instead of something along the lines of "Man charged with sexually abusing 13 year old boy". Otherwise, I wonder where the parents of the boy were at. On every social networking site I've ever been on, on every PSA about the internet they play on TV they always say "Never meet someone in person that you have talked to on the internet, you never know who he/she/it could be". Otherwise, another creep put behind bars. I'm glad. Too bad the boy will never be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a journalist with integrity, you mean. As a business who wants to pump up the page views, it's completely relevant. Furries are a 'culture' that's very misunderstood and gets a bad label that's largely undeserved...but it's stories like this that fuel the flames and keep the dramatimes goin'.

foursideking Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Meh, I blame the kid. They put warnings on games for a reason, and, iirc, they've had a 'do not share sensitive/personal information during online play' warning on every game since 2007. If kids are too dumb to follow these warnings, then there's no real hope for them, is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If kids are too dumb to follow these warnings, then there's no real hope for them, is there? I'm kinda wondering this myself. I mean, the story is sad and all and if it wasn't this kid, it would have most likely been another. But with that aside, are kids really so stupid these days? Now, i've always grown up to be a skeptical person. I always think the worst case scenario, and always think things through twice. So what I'm wondering is that the way kids are supposed to be? Or is that just me? I think kids should at least have some common sense when it comes to people online since the internet is too widely available to block them from it all together. He had to have at least seen a picture of the guy before meeting him. His face has creep written all over it. Even at 13 that's the first thing i would have thought. Hexiled Razz.

When my -13 year old kid (or even -18 for that matter) would go outside I would ask them what he was going to do and with whom. Of course he may have lied about it but my parents always brought me to the place I had to be at that age.

K4ylan Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 In the end, this is just another example of why children shouldnt be allowed free access to the internet, no matter how innocent the means of connecting may seem. My children arent even going to know the internet exists until theyre old enough to own guns. And that's where I disagree. One stupid kid meets an online furry pedophile, and parents go ape[cabbage] and try to shut down everything. My children arent even going to know the internet exists until theyre old enough to own guns So concerned with protecting his kids, unless they're completely safe with effing guns....*facepalm* ~~~The Harpy List~~~Harpy Facts~~~It's Super Effective~~~The Beginning~~~Harpy Therapy Center~~~Alg~~~Jedi Harpy~~~Rohirrim~~~Attenuation~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
