Editing Furry (section)

===Respect the fandom and the lore===
This is related to points 2 & 5 and it basically means that you should not try to shoehorn your fetish/OC/fanfiction where it does not belong. If you play a game, work within the bounds of its universe. If the 'verse has anthros or beastmen - fine, go ahead and play your OC/Fursona/whatever. If it does not, either drop it or come up with a damn good reason why they should be included. 

40k has a good example with the Felinids - they are a poorly described feline-like species of abhumans that you can theoretically have as Furry [[Your Dudes]] (Imperial Guard), but if you are going to have them as an IG army, make them grounded in the setting (i.e.: more meat for the grinder of the IoM's wars, not some uber-sexualised [[Mary Sue]] regiment). If you're still stuck on this point: [[Fur Heresy]] is a great example of what NOT to do when inserting your Furry characters into a setting.

This advice should help your overall acceptance/begrudging tolerance in websites like this. Your mileage may vary, terms and conditions apply, see store for details. There are many reasonable examples on why people here would/do hate furries, and although most would never admit it, a good half of this community would probably be interested in something that undeniably falls under the 'Furry Media' category - if the creator had a brain in his head, put effort into writing, made interesting artwork, and didn't take themselves too seriously.

The Furry fandom and furries have seen a greater degree of acceptance by the larger internet and IRL community and YOU are in a position to improve upon this. Watch, listen, respect, and be better.
