Rundown: rpanons is an anonymous community for fictional character role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.
Rules:
Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Do not solicit money, Dreamwidth points, or other currency unless you are offering a good or service in return.
Discussion of or soliciting RP for celebrities or other non-fictionalized versions of real people is not allowed.

(Anonymous) 2025-07-12 07:07 am (UTC)(link)i got into the fandom because i loved stuff like balto and the lion king and other movies/tv/games/books with mostly animal characters. i liked seeing fanwork of those things and discussing them with other fans, just like anyone in any other fandom. a lot of people moving in those fandom circles shared a lot of my other general interests (drawing animals, collecting animal toys or figurines, an appreciation of animals and the natural world) and referred to the whole thing as furry.
honestly i'm not sure what the difference is between "fan of animal stories" and "furry" bc there are people who call themselves furries and are very casual about it (ie, they're normal people who hold down jobs and have other hobbies, and nerding out about zootopia or whatever is just another thing they enjoy), and furries whose entire identity is being a furry. if you ask ten furries what a "furry" actually is you'll probably get ten different answers.
as far as fursonas go, it's usually just an animal you like or think is cool. some people pick something popular and cute (wolves, foxes, etc) and some people put a lot of thought into what animal they really feel represents them or they identify with. most fursonas are still badass things like big cats or dragons or deer, so there's probably a lot of wish fulfilment in there too.
