Quote from: Doc Sammy;935666To be fair, that was how it started, but now Trench Critters is looking a lot more like "The Wind In The Willows" and less like "Sonic The Hedgehog".

You should base it on [video=youtube;X8f4y51qC6M]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8f4y51qC6M[/youtube], for added realism

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;935667See, OP? The mere mention of the possibility of such a game brings the weirdoes out, like lice falling off a beaten rug.

Eh, anything can attract weirdos. Just because I like "The Wind In The Willows" or "Peace on Earth" doesn't mean I'm a furry, even if the furries also like it.

Though MLP: Friendship Is Magic is utter crap in my opinion.

Jesus Christ man, were you saving up your asshole chips to spend them all at once?

This is what I like with you, Tristram, you call bullshit as you see it.

That's fair, I don't mind.
I do mind when Bronies and Furries as groups is being referred to as perverts, fetishists and generally despicable people though, as far from all of them are involved in yiffing, clopping, or even in dressing up.

Quote from: Doc Sammy;935669Eh, anything can attract weirdos.

But some things attract more weirdoes than others.

Pundit's always been worried about "the Swine" taking over roleplaying. I've always been more worried about the perverts and non-gaming collectors.

Quote from: Tod13;935280And now I read the title and immediately thought, just use "naked mice" that are engineered to be immunosuppressant and have no fur...

Or genetically engineered lab mice bent on world domination.

I don't even want to know, do I?

Must...not...google...oh goddamn it

Hulk clop! :eek:

For almost anything that doesn't harm somebody, I am pretty much live and let live (or more honestly, live and let die). Every Brony I've met has been happy to identify as a Furry, but I've only met 2 Furries who were into yiffing and they were both Wiccan goth chicks. One of them was a freak of the week and the other was in the danger zone of the Crazy/Hot scale.  

But all other Furries and Bronies, even the LARPer and Cosplay ones have been perfectly fine gamer types. As far as my real world experience has gone, I do not see any reason to demonize or label these fellow gamers, any more than you'd demonize anime fans, mecha fans or that dude who always plays elves...even in games without elves.

If I were publishing Trench Critters, there is no question that I'd place an ad in the BronyCon booklet.

You could have waited for my response.
For those who did, it is the act of fapping to cartoon ponies, frequently pin-up or more vulgar pictures of somewhat more anthropomorphised versions of them.

EDIT:
The article CRK linked is pretty good, by the way, if you are able to read it all.

Mental illness has more forms than i was aware of.

Fuck that dude with an white-hot poker:D!

Of course, that would be capitalism in action;)!

As much as I dislike the whole Brony phenomenon, I'd be a fool not to do something like this!

Who cares if furries or bronies like Trench Critters? To me, they're just another group of my future paying customers!

Money is the only language that matters so that is a good view to take. Sounds like fun.

Submitted for your approval: Out of the top 10 grossing films worldwide in 2016, 5 were comic book adaptations, 4 were about anthropomorphic animals, and one about either a mermaid assassin or Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

And here you are, worried about looking like a pervert

Quote from: jhkim;935539"Just because" is a perfectly good reason to me for dwarves, elves, aarakocra, mutant powers, ducks, shoggoths, and more.

Mmm nope, can't think of a single case where using the elements you mention 'just because' led to anything other than a shallow fetishistic experience.

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;935601Fucking Bronies. Gamers have a bad enough rep already without bringing fucking Bronies into it.

Quote from: Doc Sammy;935602I fucking hate Bronies and MLP with all of my heart.

Don't know why, as they're the kindest and most charitable fandom I've encountered. I especially like how they're not obsessed with how gamers appear.

Believing mental illness exists is a mental illness.
