Do you believe in them? For those with a fursona, do they fit you? For those without what species would fit you?
I don’t really follow them; something about the idea of them kind of rubbed me the wrong way. I do have a fox friend though who embraces certain fox stereotypes I shan’t repeat here because this post is marked SFW. :P
I actually don’t know much about them, what are the stereotypes for wolves?
50% Self reliant

Aloof
Hard exterior shell with an interior of floof
More dominant
I mean, I do try to have a sense of self-resilience, yet also feel hopelessly dependent on other people. I also feel like I need to protect my fluffy emotional innards with a hard protective shell as well.
So I guess it makes sense, yeah.
I didn’t think I was a stereotype until I saw this. Yes, my bunny sona is both. :D
I don’t really believe in them with how diverse the furry community can be. My Fursona is a fox but he is not fully up to the stereotype. While hes not muscular and “manly” and I do have him with a slightly more feminine and soft body type, hes not really a femboy. He also isn’t a bottom by any means, hes mostly straight and is definitely on the dominant side.
They are stereotypes and not rules. I hope nobody actually takes them too seriously beyond jokes and memes.
Oh yea, I never take them seriously and they can be fun to see memes and jokes about
They can be fun as you play with your fursona, you’re connecting with them by performing their species’ stereotypes. But nobody takes them too seriously and they’re dropped as soon as they go against something you wanted to do. Or they should be.
There’s also a lot of character traits that ‘feel right’ even if they’re not stereotypical, and i’m not just talking about subverting expectations. Lions IRL can be goofy, we’ve all seen them do something stupid in a documentary or whatever, so a goofy lion character feels fresh and truthful at the same time.
I love and embrace the maned wolf stereotype, because it’s silly and relatively harmless.
We all love Cheezits. Almost without exception.
I even made it into a prop for my suit!
I don’t know if I’ve heard of the cheezits before, they are good though. I just know leeeeeeeeeeegggggggssssss.
Noodly legs and all their goodness!
Is there a stereotype for arctic foxes that’s different from the one for regular foxes?
Not that I’ve noticed, but I’ve never really gone looking.
I believe that they do have some truth to them, which has always been really interesting to me since it’s a neat psychological/sociological pattern and such.
Dragon stereotypes did fit me better when I was younger, not so much now though. I think o3o
