Got into a debate with my dad about furries and he dropped this brick on me without warning; "People were wanting to fuck wolf people since Ireland had kings you shites aren't original." Apparently Irish werewolves weren't monsters, and kings would invite them for '100 kisses' in bed. Huh.

Who's trying to claim we're "original"? If anything, I usually see people emphasizing what a long history furries have depending on how exactly one defines the term.

Anubis was the original bara or twink, depending on how you'd view him depicted

Anubis was predated by so many Hinduism and Egyptian deities with animal heads too xD

Another thing I learned from my dad was the Scottish variant of werewolf, or Wulver, wasn't evil either; they'd collect fish and leave it on the windowsill of poor families.

Turns out we didn't invent socialist werewolves either! The best we can do is carry on the legacy~

The Romans dreamed about sucking on wolf mommy tiddies so hard they made it their founding myth

From what I know of my indigenous culture, there's a lot of tf in our stories. (I wonder how much of an impact that had on my interest in tf? lol)

Would you believe my brain was so slow it didn't click that you're Irish until after I hit reply and then I was like ... eh fuck it, I'm not deleting that.

This led me to a fascinating dissertation by Gwendolyne Knight (extremely cool name, very good paper) Broken Order Shapeshifting as Social Metaphor in Early Medieval England and Ireland - www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/di...

Ireland proving once again that they’re the only good country in Europe.

Ireland had kings (from England) within my grandfather's lifetime, so that really isn't that far back.

No wonder England hated Ireland. They're always malding about people living their lives in peace and happiness.

Its fun knowing that we couldn't care less what the English think as long as we can keep blaming them for everything else

Gun to the head of anyone in the house of lords, they probably are not, on the whole, pro-furry. Microphone in their face? Staunch anti-furry. Some horseshit about degenerates, some complaints about today's generation(s), maybe a slur thrown in.

OMG Lost Girl was right.

Wait...what was the exact topic of the debate?
Avatar
Anthropomorphic characters in literature across history, but the debate started because my dad, who showed a rare interest in furry, asked if the brave little toaster was considered furry. It was a fun debate

Also, thank you for actually inquiring on what the root topic was rather than jumping to conclusions. It's refreshing to know there are people out there with working grey matter!
