Before they wreck themselves, or something. Still, a few people here have a history of posting some pretty 'nope' images that probably made Spam earn the magnifying glass of mod scrutiny. Dolphin tits and flying dick helicopters come to mind.

Yeah, I think you pretty much hit the nail on the head. People who feel socially outcasted tend to empower themselves with stuff that's not socially normal and then get really loud and obnoxious about throwing it in people's faces to show how different and independent they are and blah blah blah.In that sense, the deviant furries are like the goth kids who pretend they're vampires or the militant atheist neckbeards.I feel like we're writing a thesis on social studies.

Yeah, but when we did it, it was for comedy and general hilarity. Maybe inappropriate, but it was for a sort of purpose - not just wanton indulgence in teenage hormones (which, of course, I'm an expert on, as my occasional Spam hissy-fits testify). Here, it was for the laughter of a community - in 1x1, well, they could do that stuff in PMs, or [i]anywhere[/i]. Plus, context is a big thing - the context of telling a joke about sex or something inappropriate is very different from the reality of acting the thing out, physically or verbally.

This is slightly heavy conversation for Spam, I'll admit. Though I've always seen Spam as somewhat odd socially anyway - I've not seen many other similar sorts of communities elsewhere across the web - so maybe this is the right place to be writing said hypothetical thesis.

Is Brony-ism (is that the right term?) not a type of furryism (I really need to start checking my terminology...)?
