Hello everyone!

First of all apologies for not having followed through with some ideas that I’ve had recently. I’ve found myself with less time than usual and been away for a while as well.

In the meantime I wanted to ask you what topics that are furry or furry related would you see yourselves discussing or debating?

I know that one of the rules of Yiffit is to avoid drama, but if we find certain debate/discussion topics and create the necessary environment to discuss them in a healthy way this might be something we could do.

In my case for example, a topic that always pops up on twitter is the debate around feral nsfw content. I won’t get into details since this is not the post to do so, but I’m leaving it here as a potential topic for future more organized debates and discussions.

Please feel free to share or mention the topics that are furry or furry adjacent about which you have strong feelings and which you see yourself discussing in we found a proper way to do so. Feel also free to agree with other people in the comments as in “yes, I’d like to see this topic discussed as well”.

The goal is to find topics we would love to discuss without necessarily opening pandora’s box in this thread itself.

Thank you <3 I hope I don’t come off as too cautious. I’m just unsure about what topics will be suggested and want to preempt a major flame war in the comments :P

Note:

topics don’t need to be controversial at all. You can propose talking about everyone’s favorite fursuit artists. The cautious approach I took here is just in case something controversial comes up.

    I have very mixed feeling about /r/RealFurryHours. On one paw it really is the type of community that I’d love replicating here on reddit, on the other paw what I’ve seen from it was often some sort of echo chamber where differing opinions where downvoted without really fostering real discussion or debate. IMHO, Mastodon is probably a better place to host that type of group / community since it does not have downvotes or even upvotes.

    I could very well be mistaken, though, and it would work better on here. I’m not sure I’m fit for moderating it though. Maybe it’s something that can be hosted on Pawb?

      Yeah I didn’t mean to replicate it, but just to skim some of the topics they’ve talked about for inspiration. I’m not a fan of the whole “asktrumpsupporters” vibe where everyone has an agenda from the outset.

        Oh, that’s actually not a bad idea. I should skim a few of the top threads to get ideas. Thank you, I hadn’t thought of that!
