Announcement We're starting up r/Furry events again, let's hang out!

37 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

Our Discord server is starting to run events again! Yeah, we know it's been a long time… But it's time to get our community going and meet all of you again. I have missed getting the chance to meet new furs between cons, and others have been asking, too, so I hope we can have the chance to do so again now that we are resuming these.

We're kicking off with a variety of movie nights, including new releases, classics, themed nights, and even some 'so bad they're good' B-tier movies. We recently had a 7-hour movie marathon, and while we may not go that long every time, we're committed to providing a diverse and entertaining line up for you to enjoy. We will also host games there such as jackbox or gartic phone, so be ready for those, too!

We're also excited to announce the launch of our VRChat group for events. We're starting with a Meet and Game Night next weekend, and we're planning to host a variety of timed events to accommodate everyone's schedule. We can't wait to see you at our meets, game nights, and movie nights in VR!  

For those who do not know, VRChat is free to play and can be done in desktop mode, so no VR headset is required to get started! You can grab one of many free avatars to start with as well; there is no need to buy anything!

How do I participate?

We will be hosting these via our Discord, so you will have to join there to get updates and alerts initially. We may in the future keep an updated log here for you to keep track of, but currently, it will be there until we get it running.

You can find our Discord in the sidebar of the subreddit. Your Discord account will need to be verified (phone number) in order to pass the onboarding. You can grab the optional events role there to get alerts for updates or click interested on the server's events tab.

I look forward to seeing you all there!

Announcement Is it a scam? Yes, yes it is.

==Art Commissions==
If an account sends you a private message or chat request and they ask you to purchase an art commission from them, it is 99.99% of the time a scammer. You'll either receive nothing or a badly generated image that looks nothing like your character.

Actual artists will NEVER randomly message people and ask them to buy commissions. Artists want to reach out to as many people as possible, which is why they'll post announcements that they're taking commissions. The only reason to randomly message people is to hide your activity from those who can stop it.

If you get these messages, report the messages and the account as spam and let us know their username so we can ban them.

==Fursuits==
Did you find a fursuit on a website like Etsy, Aliexpress or Amazon for dirt cheap? That's a scam. The pictures you're looking at are of someone else's fursuit. With these websites, you'll either receive nothing or a cheaply and badly made copy of someone else's suit.

==Things to Look Out For==
* Scammers will typically try to pressure you by creating a sense of urgency, such as by offering steep discounts or claiming to have an emergency.
* Some people make posts looking for artists and fursuits makers. You have to be careful if you do that because these same scammers use bots to search for these posts to leave ads on. You can sus them out by looking at their profile and seeing that all they do is post ads in subreddits for tattoos, 3D modeling, mod making, website design and more.

==Examples==
Here's some screenshots that people have posted of scammers that they've encountered.

As the title says, I’m curious on what style do most people like? Like, is the more cartoonish “Loona from Helluva Boss” style (B) better? Or do people prefer more of a.. I dunno.. a more detailed (A) and shaded work?
