Does the Furry Fandom feel too homogenous to you? (pawb.social)

I’ve been a furry for 11 years and I feel that theres not a lot of people who do anything different or new. I mean no offense to artists and fursuit makers, the style of furry art feels very similar and follows the same tropes.

It just doesn’t feel very creative and fresh.

There’s definitely artists that break the mold on artwork, but it’s not very often and so many artists feel extremely similar to the point that AI can create a generalized “ Furry artstyle”.

For fursuits, the Disney/ Anime styled eyes that a lot of makers use look pretty close to one another, again there’s always people who go against the grain, but it’s hard to find makers who can do different eye styles.

I don’t even have to start on the one joke furries have, it’s just really old and not funny imo.

The monoculture imo is especially prevalent in the furry music scene, as most of the music is Electronic, or some kind of Dubstep style from the Early 2010’s.

There’s maybe a few furry artists I like, but I just wish the fandom was more diverse in its craft and really lived up to the creative label the fandom has.

This is really one of my first public discussions about a few of my pet peeves with the fandom, so please excuse my rather jumbled post.

Depends on your region! South American furries, Russian furries, and EU/NA furries all have different styles, and somewhat different cultures. Asia also has different styles for art and fursuits.
