Title: FH vs your irl friends! What are their opinions?
Post by: -WhereSunRises- on December 07, 2015, 08:56:13 pm
How do your friends react when you tell them that you play furry, doggy-dog-woof kitty-cat game? :D What do they think of you now? What DID they think of you when you told them first time? For me, simplier said, they were like: "OMFG! Are you crazy playing such stupid childish embarrasing games?!" :/ Not to mention that my mother is against every single step I do -_- I have crazy life and even crazier friends who think that everything except games with animals is cool XD To be honest, FH is my fav game and trought it, I learnt that Iam not only one of my "breed" XD Now I know that there are people like me aaaaaaaaaaal over the world <3 Love you guys!

I never tell my friends lol. However, I think they would actually be alright with me playing as a furry, I'm already entitled to the nickname of "Shurtle the Turtle" around my neighbourhood and school, because I write it on my book and everything, no one ever refers me as my real name unless I'm misbehaving.
Which I never do, because I'm a good momma's little helper!
Huehue. Interesting thread indeed. <3

What I tell my friends when I play FeralHeart? I don't tell them nothing but since I have the school wifi, they see me on the sight and be like "what are you doing?" I be like...a site...I have no words to describe FeralHeart since they will won't understand what I be doing in my life.

I told a few of my friends and they decided to give FH a go and they love it! xD also I remember letting my ex girlfriend play the game and she freaked out. She was like ''Can you die on here?'' and I kept telling her you can't but she tried to anyway? x'D

I think my friends know vaguely that I play FH but I've never really told them about it specifically. I usually just mention "a game" or something.
They know I skype and video chat with online friends, though, and I don't really think they mind? Although I must say (I know, odd one out right?) I prefer my online friends rather than my school friends.

I don't really have any real life friends anymore, but when I did they knew I played FH. Some liked the idea while some didn't. I actually got one of them really, really into the game for a little bit. Sadly she doesn't play anymore, though.

Well, one of my real life friends actually introduced me to the game, even though she doesn't play so much anymore. The rest of my friends are really indifferent as to me playing an animal related game.

Well, I don't really have any actual friends in real life other than my siblings and a church-group sort of thing I go to. The group doesn't know about FH or anything, never had to bring it up or anything. Maybe some of them might, there's one who's seen me play in the past and said "that game looks boring." But meh. That was like, two or three years ago...

My siblings don't really seem to care too much. I talk to my sister about FH, say how it's a roleplay game and stuff and how I talk to my friends on there. (Although she probably wouldn't play. But still.) My brother just thinks it's a stupid game. |D

What if your 'in real life' friends are the friends you met on FeralHeart? I have a few friends from college that I love dearly and they know what I do and they even know who my other friends are whom I met on FeralHeart. -Shrugs- I can't really answer this question because the people I met on FeralHeart are more than just 'Internet friends' they are literally just exstremely close best friends who I talk to every day of my life.

  I've mentioned this before in a different thread, but no one really knows about my life in the Feralheart community. My reasons for this is because all of my friends (and people I just know in general) are not interested in games like this. Most don't even know this community exists.

Well, actually, about 3 years ago, I did get about 4 of my really close friends into fursonas and such. I even introduced 2 of them to Feralheart. They played it for a bit, but eventually left all of those behind and forgot all about it.

Nonetheless, I don't bring it up any more. I feel they would be more judgemental now.

Well one of my friends wanted to join, but he never catches the registration open. XD The rest of my friends didn't really understand. Or they just think it's boring.

snickers because honestly my irl friends are basically afraid of FH. being the cynical and bitter child i was when i first mentioned it (i was about 11-12 at the time) i told them many bad things about the game, and the community in whole. they were terrified, and not to mention how they feel about furries.

honestly i dont know if they even spark interest in it at all, despite a few of my friends basically being dragged into furry fandom hell by yours truly. also i use FH as an excuse for not texting back/and or not hanging out.

i literally got a text from my friend which went along the lines of: 'GDI MIKE YOU BETTER NOT BE PLAYING THAT FURRY GAME INSTEAD OF ANSWERING MY TEXTS'

but yeah, they respect my slightly-annoying obsession with FeralHeart, and if i didnt scare them, would probably be playing right now!!

but i did manage to get my lil sister and a few of my close cousins to join up, so that's always cool as well lol

When it comes to my non-Feral Heart related friends they barely know about my relationship to this game. The most they see is me uploading art drawn of my characters to Facebook. It's rare if any of them have ever actually asked about it xD I don't think they really care. Most of my friends are used to me doing weird things anyway xD I don't care to tell them about my relationship to Feral Heart either cause they probably wouldn't understand. I have no shame in my non-Feral Heart friends knowing about what I do here etc though. I guess it's all on a need to know basis.

Three years ago, I remember once I tried to get one of my old friends onto this game. I helped her create a character, but when she clicked on the "elbow mane" tuft option, she said something along the lines of "What the hell is that? Armpit hair?" I laughed so hard

Around the same time, I think I tried to get two other friends on here, one even created an account, but all of them never stuck with the game. Actually, at the time, I used to go up to random people I knew at school and started telling them about this game -cringe-

One of my brothers has an account, but I don't know if he even has FH downloaded. My other brother thinks this game is dumb x3

A few weeks ago I was on a Skype call with my boyfriend while testing a map in map maker, and I turned on screen sharing and the very first impression he got of FH was a close-up of a lioness with the broken neck glitch. After that he said FH wouldn't suit him very well xD

 Simply put, the majority of my friends don't know that I'm on FH. If the topic of Feralheart came up in conversation, sure, I would mention who I am on it and what it's all about. It just never comes up, so I don't need to explain anything to them. Needless to say, if they were interested in it, I'd reel them in faster than anything, but otherwise, it's just not mentioned.

I was already a weirdo when my classmates realized I loved wolves. And I'm all the weirder now, but I don't think they bash me for it now.

My sister, on the other hand, couldn't care less. XD She doesn't get why I like to play FH.

I'm always bringing up FH at school to talk about mapmaking. No-one even cares... XD They know but they don't really care...

 I don't tell my friends. Yeah, I'm a guy and I play FH and like 5sos. "hUH WHAT A LOSER HE MUST BE " that's probably what my friend's would've said if I did.

I've only told a few of my friends- one of them found out without me telling them. She thought it was weird and made fun of me so hard. However, my best friend understands and thinks it's kinda cool. My uncle and stepdad were watching me play one time and they thought it was the weirdest thing ever. They were like, "So you and your cat friends just sit around and talk?" I was like yup. There was no way I was about to explain roleplaying.

Well, to be completely honest. I haven't told any friends IRL about this game, the only people who know are my little sister, Nephew, and my boyfriend.

Anybody who knows about it doesn't really care.

Honestly, a lot of my real life friends have no idea FH even exists.
I don't really talk about it much to them (because let's be honest here, I only talk about hockey and my stalking addictions url xD)
My siblings really are the only ones who know I play FH and my brother thinks it's pretty cool.

Other than that, I dont bring up FH to my friends in regular conversation.
