Twyn Ryder is a warrior who specializes in heavy weapons(battle axes, scythes, claymores, etc) who was given cybernetic enhancements using Wylorian steel found in a meteor after sustaining nigh fatal injuries in combat.

When his eyes glow, he is using his power of thermal sight.

Woah, just got wings now!

This game has so much heart and effort put into it. The gameplay is such a blast from the past. Like a newgrounds dirtbike game that got to grow up into a full ass story game. Speaking of which, the story and characters really draw you into the atmosphere. The animations throughout are true gems in the rough as far as I'm concerned. All the while an absolute bop of a soundtrack highlights it all. Perfectly eminating the somber but hopeful tone. Runs super smooth on my steam deck so I bet it'll run great on anything. I highly recommend you give it a shot!

Hey everyone,

A few days ago, I was with my boyfriend in VC on Discord, and he showed me his new, first suit, and when he put on the headpiece, it seemed like he became a different person.

It wasn't just putting on a suit, it transformed him into his character... I've never seen something like that happen before. I totally get the appeal now of fursuits!

He also posted an unboxing video, in case you're interested! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E36tyB5C5ew

It's been weeks since I posted a dream, most of them were boring.

I had to catch up a lot of sleep + a cold kept me from having a deep sleep required for getting those wonderful dreams where you end up in other worlds and experience wild adventures.

Last night, fortunately, was one of those night. A magical portal was found into the world of Zootopia! Let's dive into the dream world.

It all started with me being at home. Apparently, I was in a very heavy fight with my mom, but the reason was unknown. All I knew was that it was a very heated fight.

We were screaming and yelling at each other in the living room, and outside it was semi-dark, suggesting it was around early evening. This type of fight never happens in real life.

I was yelling at her, when suddenly, we heard a loud “knock!” — so loud, that it broke our fight instantly. With an expression of fear, we both peaked out the window. The faint daylight made it possible to still look outside.

What I saw there, was beyond normal – my uncle and some of his friends held machetes or big, dull knifes and were about to break into our house. Once fighting, my mom and I now teamed up to fight our new common enemy. We swiftly grabbed the biggest knifes in the kitchen and opened the front door and attacked them before they could get in.

It was a big bloody painful fight, I remember getting cut left and right from my uncle and his buddies. The reasons why they attacked us was unknown, but it hurt a lot, even for a dream. (I always feel things in dreams as if they were happening IRL, sometimes I even wake up with the same pain on my real body, luckily that didn't happen this time).

For some reason we managed to win the fight and went back inside to treat our wounds. After that, news came out that a portal was found in our world that leads to … Zootopia?

The best part was that it was open to the public. So I went to the portal, it looked somewhat like this.

Just before the portal, an animal was waiting near the entrance, leaning against it. It looked like a brown animal that I couldn't place well. It asked me: “Do you want to enter as human or as your animal counterpart?”

“Just as my human”, I replied, surprised there were options.

I passed through the rubber curtain, and instantly I was in this lovely room with a bar, a lot of plants, and some music that fits well in a Savannah themed area!

I opened my eyes wide walked slowly inside the room and looked around, the scene was so beautifully crafted as if my dream was made by Disney or DreamWorks! The style fit so well that it was almost impossible to imagine. I still don't understand why I ended up in the real world of Zootopia, because I don't even like Zootopia all that much (the art style doesn't speak to me).

That didn't make it any less special, I knew full well I was witnessing something amazing – animals of all kinds and sizes sat at the bar or relaxing on big pillows on the floor. It was clear this place was set up for those that just arrived through the portal.

I sat at the bar, and asked for a drink, I was served something that was akin to beer, but it was different in taste.

I remember having fun and talking to other animals there for a while. A tap on my shoulder broke the fun.

I looked back, and this female gazelle like creature met my gaze. Behind her was this giant bull-like creature. Both of them wore police uniforms.

“Mister Willemsen, Could you come with us please?”, the gazelle asked me with a stern expression.

“Sure…” I said softly, afraid of what was going to happen. I was guided in a room not far from the café where there was this big square table, police and other animals were sitting, they ordered me to take a seat next to them.

“Am I under arrest?” I asked the police animals. “We just want to ask you a few questions…”, the gazelle replied, also having taken a seat at the other side of the table.

I swallowed… I knew what it was about, the fight I had with my uncle! Shit I'm going to jail for violence!

“I… I swear it was self-defense!” I replied directly. “That's what we will find out”, she replied.

“C-can I go get a drink real quick?”, I asked. “Sure,” she said.

I got off again, and for some reason, I didn't walk to the bar, but I walked straight past it, through the portal again, and to my own house to grab a glass of lemonade! I have no idea why! It would've been easier to go to the bar as it was closer by.

This did make me lucid, though, as when I walked back to the portal, the distance seemed much further than it normally was! In fact, it took me nearly 30 minutes in dream time to go back to the portal, even though to my house and kitchen was like 5 minutes.

This huge discrepancy in time made me aware that this was a dream. I still wanted to be in Zootopia, so I started running towards the portal, but my running slowed down as if it was recorded in slow-motion. It also almost woke me up.

I don't know why, but for some reason, I could feel that, IRL, I was still very early in my sleep and had plenty of time, so I decided to walk again and focus on the portal. Finally, having found it, I walked through it again. I got back at the table with my drink, but sadly, at that point, I already woke up…

Dragons in libraries are quite simply the best

This is an exchange I had a few weeks back with an anti-furry in the comments of this video. It's quite long so get ready for a wall of text.

Me: Is this the "evidence like a sledgehammer" you spoke of?

Them: No. https://youtu.be/6lfJYtmZYpA. And https://youtu.be/-6h3slvF0MM and https://youtu.be/Kq4pvm5LNiA and https://youtu.be/TukG7FhYOGU. And. https://youtu.be/1--Y8ki4fcE and. https://youtu.be/B7Qcf5td6KY and. https://youtu.be/TvalEWMoQmU and. https://youtu.be/0xAuOYjB_-k AND https://youtu.be/cOAKaAHwvis AND https://youtu.be/ceb37ghlwkM AND. https://youtu.be/pQcTs3P4Dyg. A N D https://youtu.be/5vZPZ4MYg7U?si=tjlY7JmBYPSmdSGE. And https://youtu.be/ut22bYG9nmQ?si=8sQGS5IaHPveiK7y. A N D. https://youtu.be/7zqRofZOnWA?si=sbgEMA1Bj_EVqn4S. Plus. This (the links for some reason dont work on my channel specifically) And. A large majority of our sample reported non-heterosexual identities (84%) and some degree of sexual motivation for being furries (99%). Male furries also tended to report a pattern of sexual interests consistent with an ETII involving anthropomorphic animals Google itself. Need more? have you ever heard about E621? one of the biggest furry websites, pornographic website, with 3 500 000 results (not views, 3,5 milion pieces of pornography with antropomorphic animals) with less than 3 000 000 furries on the world (including kids) and this is only one website, on other websites there is even more of this. does it look like a job of minority? only difference between furry pornography and zoophília, is that no animals are hurt in process, but this is still attraction to animals, even if these are antropomorphic. so people watching it, are zoophíles, otherwise they will look for a pornography without animal characteristics. I got this /\ one from another anti furry. now the phrase. Every fandom has a sexual side. Is normall agreeable. And yet. The furry fandom is the exception. The ratio of it is a good example. Also SOMETHING of note. When you type i. Furry (nothing more nothing less. ) It takes scrolling through 8 pictures to get to something nsfw. I take something sandbox like say. The Scp foundation. (i looked up Scp). The first nsfw item i found. Was about a furry. (Scp 1471 to be exact). It took 34 pictures before something nsfw (that wasnt also a furry)(it was a picture of Scp 173 with its secretion a bit on it (i count that )). How about say roblox. 150 pictures before you come across something suggestive. Need more proof. Fine. Country balls. Major blood or SOMETHING that could count. At 51 pictures its a joke that Israël and palistine are murdering each other on a map that it isn't easy to spot. So to say it the very least. The furry fandom is bad Because the nsfw is so common. My very own. Made by seeing shit you wouldnt want to see. if you hated zoos one thing. Why wont you or any other furry do that themselves. Because that has become the norm. If the furrys were against zoos. They would have taken eniciatif. They would have stopped the zoos before they thought of making the majority. Instead you. Yes you. The curry idiot that thinks he got me beat. If you hated zoos. YOU. Would have stopped it. YOU would have made a difference. But instead im now for de to clean your mess and be assualted for it. The anti furs Arent to blame here. You are Also anti zoophiles is just common sense. And lastly. Using dem common sense. Sorry if it is a bit much

Me: I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and respond assuming you're speaking from a place of genuine lack of knowledge, not willful malice.

Those YouTube links you posted are full of anecdotes, memes, and vague allusions to some problems anti-furries think are widespread in the furry fandom, but no actual data to back up these ideas. If some politician presented videos like this as evidence for some policy decision everyone would think that's ridiculous, right? We need proper data and evidence to make an informed decision, not nitpicked anecdotes, memes, and fearmongering.

I and most other people also apply this belief when it comes to generalizing entire groups of people, which is why furries are becoming more accepted as time goes on. Most people don't hate a whole group based on anecdotes, so they aren't going to be convinced into hating furries based on nitpicking and memes.

Also consider that your rhetoric is very similar to that of white supremacists - they'll often link to anecdotes about black-on-white crime, screenshot a handful of black people on Twitter saying something racist, or nitpick a handful of studies sponsored by far-right organizations in order to justify their beliefs. This is not enough to convince me and most other people that racism and segregation are justified however, because we're not swayed by anecdotes and fearmongering. I hope that you're also not convinced by the disingenuous rhetoric of white supremacists, and I also hope that you'll apply this same level of scrutiny and skepticism when it comes to generalizing furries.

Moving on, I'll just say that I don't care about porn. Yeah, furry porn exists. So what? Most people don't have a problem with what kind of porn other people like as long as it's consensual, so again you'll have a hard time convincing people to hate furries based on this. If furry porn bothers you that much that's your opinion and you're entitled to it, but much like the ~15%-20% of furries who don't like yiff do, you should probably just avoid the porn if you don't like it. (I also have no idea where you got that 3M furries number. I know that in a furry survey furries themselves guessed that about 1% of Americans are furries, which would be about 3M people, but I'm not sure if that's what you're referring to.)

Furthermore, most fandoms dabble in porn to one way or another. Not only are there multiple websites specifically dedicated to hentai, in a poll on MyAnimeList 72.8% of participants said they look at hentai: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=483869&pollresults=1 And in a 2018 survey only ~20% of anime fans strongly disagreed with the statement "I often view anime related pornographic material", suggesting that a majority do look at hentai to some extent: https://sites.google.com/site/animeresearch/past-results/2018-results These results are similar to that of furries (see the research on sexuality and porn on the FurScience website, for example: https://furscience.com/research-findings/), but I don't see people decrying that the anime fandom is sexual anywhere near as often as I see it happen with furries. My point, of course, is not that you should bash anime more often, but rather that it's fine for anime fans to like hentai. Hentai really shouldn't be a big deal, and yiff also shouldn't be a big deal.

As for Google results: Once again these are anecdotes, and not very useful for making any informed conclusion about anything. It's worth noting that the search results you get are a reflection of your own search history. If you look up a lot of NSFW furry images out of "outrage" (as I've heard anti-furries often do), you'll get furry porn in your results because that's what Google thinks you want. By contrast, I looked up "furry" in an incognito tab and didn't get any NSFW images: https://imgur.com/BIWuBzC I did get some horny/mild NSFW images, but some of them were from media outlets talking about sex in the fandom. Furries often criticize the media for focusing on the sexual aspects of the fandom too much.

Similarly, if you look up "woman" in an incognito tab you'll get SFW results, along with a handful of images of women in bikinis and skimpy clothing.

Also I don't really get what SCP, Roblox or "country balls" have to do with furries, but again, the search results that you personally get are not really evidence of some problem with the fandom.

As for why furries don't kick zoophiles out of the fandom... We do actually. When someone is outed as a zoophile they are usually shunned out of the fandom. You can see examples of this with Kero The Wolf/Radiance Wolf and Hypnotist Sappho. The former lost nearly all his supporters, was publicly humiliated, had the cops called on him, and despite trying to come back to YouTube he basically got no views and a ton of hate, so he hasn't uploaded in several months. After revealing that she's a zoophile, Hypnotist Sappho was shamed and harassed to the point where she was hospitalized due to high risk of her killing herself. We haven't heard from her since.

Most furries make it abundantly clear that zoophiles are not welcome in the fandom, and when we find out that someone is a zoophile they're usually shamed and shunned. Some zoophiles themselves seem to think that the fandom is "toxic" towards them. From a now suspended zoophile account: https://web.archive.org/web/20220907231754/https://twitter.com/wolfjlupus/status/1291251964597030912

Still, there's a limit to what we can do because nobody owns the furry fandom, so whether they're good or bad, anyone could be part of it. If some zoophile is never outed and uses alts to engage with zoophilic content there isn't really much we can do beyond just reporting their accounts as we come across them. At the end of the day while furries don't welcome zoophiles and shun them when they're outed, there isn't much else that can be done because of the anonymity provided by the internet.

Finally I'd like to address the study that you mentioned. I'm familiar with it, and it's a 2019 study by Kevin Hsu and Michael Bailey titled "The “Furry” Phenomenon: Characterizing Sexual Orientation, Sexual Motivation, and Erotic Target Identity Inversions in Male Furries".

Despite this being an actual academic study generalizing from it would be rather shortsighted and a major case of nitpicking. I actually compiled a list of all the studies that estimated the prevalence of zoophilia in the fandom, along with dozens of studies of its prevalence in the general population: https://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?title=Zoophilia&oldid=535240#Prevalence

If I pointed to the study that found that 31.6% of controls subjects had committed bestiality and said that this represents all people that would be nitpicking. That study sampled specifically rural men seeking medical attention, so it's by no means going to be representative of the general population. Similarly, as I explain the wiki, the 2019 study included only furries who identified as male, and because it was a study specifically advertised as being about sexuality, they clearly oversampled furries with a sexual interest in the fandom compared to other surveys. They also used an 11-point scale to measure sexual interest which is very different from other surveys of the fandom - hence why their results were so different from other surveys of furries.

When we aggregate the several surveys of the fandom we get an estimate of around 14.9% being zoophiles, though there's also good reason to believe that's an overestimation since self-selected samples (which all surveys of furries rely on) tend to overestimate the prevalence of paraphilias compared to representative samples.

Them: You know what. Ill double down on my statement. Also. Your comment is way to long. You spended days on that argument. When ill break it apart just the same way

Proper data eh. have you ever heard about E621? one of the biggest furry websites, pornographic website, with 3 500 000 results (not views, 3,5 milion pieces of pornography with antropomorphic animals) with less than 3 000 000 furries on the world (including kids) and this is only one website, on other websites there is even more of this. does it look like a job of minority? only difference between furry pornography and zoophília, is that no animals are hurt in process, but this is still attraction to animals, even if these are antropomorphic. so people watching it, are zoophíles, otherwise they will look for a pornography without animal characteristics. Degeneracy is common. Same with their nsfw. Second off. Did you watch the video. The first minute is memes. The second 2 minutes are common sense. And showing of their degeneracy. Like. Why would the furry's invade a church. Second off. What do you mean i am acting the same way as a white supremacist. Since when is using the tools at hand a bad thing. Now. You SHOULD care on why furry nsfw is bad. Starting off. There are a suspected 3 million FURRY'S in the world if im correct. If not. Im going of the low number and say a total of 10 mil. But lets go of 3 million. Starting of. There is more furrys nsfw than people. That isn't normal. Second off. The furry""fandom"" is filled with kids and people saying that its safe for kids. Which isn't good when nsfw is so easy to see. And you could likely accidentally see that. Third of all. You are hypocritical by saying that anime fans watch nsfw lots of the time. And than say that the same is happening with FURRY'S. Hypocrit eh. Also another thing about nsfw. It ruins your brain. Google itself says that studies have shown that nsfw ruins the reward part of your brain. Wich leads to depression and being. A Snowflake. And makes people more aggressive and stupid. Wich also coincides with kids being lured in. Also. At halfway through the video. You do see that the guy has safe Search on. (the beginner dude). Also you should focus on sexual aspects when that is a major part of something. As for countryballs. Roblox and SCP. Those i looked them up to solidify a point that FURRY'S have way more nsfw than most other fandoms. And mind you. This is County balls. Famous for jokes that are very bad. And some gore. Roblox. Which you should know has gotten itself in hot water many times. And most importantly. SCP wich is known for having a good chance for the SCP to have gore in some capacity. And mind you. The first nsfw when i looked up SCP was literally a furry SCP. Invading normal communitys too.

Also. In terms of when do you guys get rid of zoophiles. When half of them come back around. What do you do. Welp if you wanted to stop zoophiles entirely. Just make it so scary for zoophiles to be a furry that they dont want to. And yet all of a sudden. Cyberbullying them to the point of self harm is ok by you guys. But when we do it. Its very evil. Also if that was the case. Why DIDNT you finish them. It would have set a message on that you would kill them. And yet you dont. They can come back hidden. You should take full measures instead of a half one. Because you would then get in trouble becuase the half measure did half of what was needed. Also. You could go deeper. If you want no zoophiles. Ya gotta work for it. Sorry if this part is me rambling. But no zoo's want to be in a place where they would be killed. And yet. You guys dont check it past seeing if they posted zoophilery. And once the damage is done. Then you step in action. Maybe prevent it for crying out loud. Because the problems it could cause when you dont . on your last point. I would actually think that the study either was barely to small or barely to big. A good example of that would be. Say you live in Russia. And you dislike Putin. But then some people come and ask. What you think of our leader. And you know that it could cause problems if you told them the truth. So you lie. That seems reasonable. And bring that over to something else dangerous or shameful. Like being a zoophile. Youd likely lie to look like your a stand up guy. So the data gets skewed. Like look up TED ED magic election Riddle. Or here. Sorry if the link looks sketchy. https://www.voicetube.com/videos/159292. People Arent willing to tell people that they are for that candidate. And will tell something else. Skewing results. This isn't even a rare case. Its likely to happen in anytime sombody asks something shameful for data. So its likely that the data is somewhat wrong.

Also. Can you not make yours 10 minutes long to read. I gotta do other things too.
