“op’s boyfriend at least has a— OH A FUR-SUIT COST CALCULATOR?!!!!??!”

-Rslash 2024

[shaneiceoutlaw]

The rumors Jane was spreading should have been enough to fire her

"THERE IS A FURRY CALCULATOR?!" - Rslash

One of the funniest thing i have ever heard him say 😂😂

[serge]

To quote Blake Jennings about furries: "They all have more money than god, they could ruin me."

[itsybitsybosmer]

RIP to Rslash's search history and targeted ads. His wife's going to be looking for something on the internet and go "Hey... Babe? Why am I getting ads for fursuits?" 😂😂😂

[SkottiKimble]

As an artist who's been furry adjacent (I have a lot of friends who are furries), a decent percentage of the community have lucrative careers in STEM jobs. I've had furries throw tons of money at me to design their fursonas and suits, I can't complain about the work.

[gammagalaxy]

People tend to forget that most furries are well-adjusted people that like anthropomorphic characters, sexually or not. Like- there’s a member of the community, Chise, who became well-known because she literally helped develop one of the first covid vaccines.

As a fursuiter myself, I can confirm that most(not all, but most) fursuiters and furries who are into the NSFW side of things have the common sense to keep it in appropriate settings. Yeah, the furry meet/convention mentioned in this story is one that isn’t likely to be around much longer if the organizer doesn’t tighten the leash(no pun intended) on the inappropriate stuff. It’s happened before. Example: Rainfurest, a convention that is no longer around because the last one that happened, people had no sense of boundaries. Most events have a strict “keep it in the hotel rooms/specific event room” rule for adult events, and they card people to ensure no minors get in

[Zachcraftone]

Moral of the story… it’s ok to have hobbies and cosplay as anything as long as it does not harm yourself or anyone else. Not to mention not letting it take over your entire life. I have a fursuit and I love to wear it, but it’s not my entire life. And most importantly don’t do anything illegal, cause we don’t want that in the fandom as much as any other group does lol.

Story 1: given how she almost went down with her son solely because of her behavior there must be some sort of red flag in her background that would’ve cost her the job. But my question is why did the other manager go out of his way to prevent the background check? She misses several appointments instead of just one phone call, he decide to lie to everyone about it? Why was he helping her get the job without a background check?

But anyway, I think it’s funny OP could’ve gotten revenge, could’ve reported her and fired her for spreading false rumors, which should be easy enough to prove. But he remains professional and civil, didn’t even tell anyone about why he was uncomfortable with her. And instead of appreciating and keeping her head down, she did decide to try to ruin him.

OP you probably have a case here, she intentionally tried to sabotage your job by spreading Lies about you to all your coworkers. Even if she didn’t know you worked there when she applied, you have plenty of witnesses and I’m certain HR would have your back, should be enough to get a restraining order against her too. She’s going to be fired because of her stupidity, she couldn’t make a case about not being able to work.

Hey RSlash! Furry here, a couple notes:

-fursuits can be paid in installments over time and many makers have payment plans. You don’t have to pay up front. Only time you have to pay up front is if you’re buying a suit AT a convention from a booth.

-the NSFW side is actually pretty respectable the vast majority of the time. They keep things separated and have them clearly marked. At many events where there’s an 18+ section you’re carded at the door to the section so you can get in.

-There are people that think “animals” are sexy like Lola Bunny or Nick Wilde. They’re characters obviously designed to be human like and have a personality. A lot of general public like those sorts of characters, it’s not that unusual. They’re not attracted to actual animals. Those are Zoos and we DONT want them in the fandom.

Story 2: FINALLY, a story I can comment on! As a furry, I've only ever dated other furs but I do have non Furry friends, and I can say that OP is 100% understandable with that feeling, sure it sucks not to be super supportive of every aspect of your partners life, but as long as you don't despise him overall or they don't treat you right, leech, blah blah blah, then you're all good, trust me, there are way worse people you can date out there or are into weirder shit Furry wise, so honestly to date a stable sfw Furry is a jackpot


P.S headpats are wonderful, furry or non Furry

15:45 I do believe we've witnessed the first step in rslash's furry journey 😂

[RunaRothstein]

The final story hit home. In the Otaku community, this stuff happens. In some cases, ruin fandoms. I had to leave several fandoms because how bad they sexualize the characters or misinterpreted the character personality. My bully from a specific fandom literally stuff our throats with their ship. Fandoms are supposed to be fun.

[SpiderRiderKya]

I'm glad Rslash brought it up cause I was gonna say, fursuits, especially full body ones are expensive as HELL, if he managed to save up the money for one he is 1) probably financially well off and 2) knows how to manage his money.

[mochidog]

I've been in the furry community since 2013. The fandom is full of artists, writers, cosplayers, and so many other creative types. There are many people who only interact with the SFW side of it, and that's absolutely valid!
But it kinda annoys me when people pretend that the majority of the fandom doesn't interact with the NSFW part too, so much so that there have have been several companies formed that "cater" to these furries needs lol. Ikyk.
So if you're a furry, dont give normies the PR speech about how the nsfw ones are weirdos who ruin the community. Sexual furries have been a part of it since it began in the 80s

[jerryeubanks]

Given how Jane acted, I'm not surprised her son was so bad. Almost every bad kid is that way because their parents made them that way.

[silverflight]

Story 2: Oof, that was poor luck with the event, but the BF is a pretty good person. For him, being a furry is just a character. Best of wishes to the couple

[seiun]

RSlash, there is a reason why the meme of “suspiciously wealthy furry” exists

[sauvagess]

"What's sexy about an animal?" Everything, apparently. You can think of any body part or any physical quality, and there's a phrase comparing it to an animal. "Brave as a lion, " "eyes like a hawk, " "fast as a cheetah, " "strong as an ox, " "laugh like a hyena, " "eat like a pig, " "quiet as a mouse, " "busy as a bee, " "blind as a bat, " "graceful as a gazelle, " "gentle as a lamb, " "stubborn as a mule, " "slow as a tortoise, " I could go on and on.

Also, the worst part about those convention-goers with poor hygiene is they usually _never_ have any self-awareness about it. I can count the number of times that I've had people talk to me in an event room with, say, the worst breath. I'd offer a stick of gum, and they turned it down completely oblivious. Then I offered tic-tac and they turned that down. Then a breath mint. Then a different breath mint. Then another piece of gum. All the while leaning in as close as possible while talking to whoever they were focusing on at the time. (Yes, I also carry around sticks and spray deodorants specifically for people at conventions.)
