What if aliens were really anthros?

[lirokun Viami]

yeah,so like the title ask what if aliens were anthros/furries? If they were,I would ask them to take all furries to there world, or ask them to turn me into a anthro cat if possiable... :3

[Arashi_Calunata]

... I've toyed with the idea. I've also found I'd ask the same questions and be jealous until I died of it. The thought of Aliens being something we can guess- even an anthro, seems impossible to me.

[Keo]

No, humans, you are the aliens.

[Acton]

But what would happen to the fandom if that was true aliens are athro? Will we go nut over them. How would they think of us. Would they be annoyed if we try to act like them?

sounds like an interesting sf story idea.

[lirokun Viami]

Oh I never thought about if the fandom would survive or not over that.....:3

[Keo]

I was a furry alien in my past life, so if you like I can say a bit about this.

Would they be annoyed if we try to act like them?

Sometimes, yes, kind of, comes on in swings
Due to my current life situation I find compromise, though.

Once read a book about the inhabitants of a planet in orbit around Sirius. They were all humanoid canines.

If that happened some Furry hater would end up triggering an interstellar war by mistaking the aliens for humans in fursuits and insulting them.

There was actually a book where the aliens were rabbit like creatures. It was called Quozl and written by Alan Dean Foster. In it the Quozl have a secret colony on Earth. A quozl child and a human child meet in the woods and become friends. Soon the human's sister finds out and ends up making a children's show about them without the quozl's permission. The human finds out when he finds quozl plushies for sale while out shopping. He becomes angry because he feels his sister betrayed the Quozl's trust and confronts her. Eventually the Quozl are revealed to humanity ( at Disney World of all places ) and humans and Quozl end up sharing the planet and living in peace.

There's a lot of overlap between aliens in sci-fi and anthro characters.  Basically, for a sci-fi writer, it's easier to model your aliens on real animals than to try to invent something entirely new, partly because there's already a whole lot of diversity in the creatures on Earth if you look close enough; partly because it's just easier to work with a model; and partly for the same reasons as draw people to the furry fandom -- animals are spiffy.

If we're talking about actual real life aliens from outer space...  Well, my guess is that we'd be lucky to understand them at all, much less for them to be anything as recognizable as anthros.

There was an episode from The Outer Limits starring Matt Frewer and Clint Howard. There are two men in above average jobs. They are married to very attractive women, but there's something wrong. The men are having strange dreams. The women are actually space aliens with the ability to shape-shift. It doesn't have a total and lasting effect on their mates.  The aliens are friendly and just want to fit in, but they unintentionally drive their mates insane. Throughout the episode, the viewer is given brief glimpses of the aliens in their true form.

_{I gotta find that episode on YouTube.}

[Sergalicious]

well my fursona is sort of like a holographic projection that can think, feel, touch, etc ( sort of like in red dwarf) and can be directly controlled by my general persona for all categories.

ie i have the persona korvre, then the off-shoots like kore are like holographic projections that he then controls, sort of like avatar but when he's not in control they live about their lives normally. ( a bit like how gta 5 will work)

and korvre is a commander of a space fleet that dare not orbit earth ( too big the moon would orbit around the fleet) so he has cloaked satellites around it and jumps in ships as he needs them

[HazardJackal]

Well, if they are here to fix the world (By destroying it of course) then yeah, i'd love em.  if they come to invade... well, i'm grabbing my shotgun and barricading myself in my house, as i would in any other alien invasion.

[Aces G. Foxworthy]

I'd be sent in, and once I'd find them... I'll beg them to transfigure me into one of them and let me live with them forever in exchange for the most valuable and rare hooman invention: Video Games

I miss The Outer Limits ... I loved that show

This is my response as well...I'm so unoriginal 

[Wereaibo]

I hope that if aliens ever do decide to show up they're either not hostile or very, very stupid like the Martians in the movie Spaced Invaders. If they are intelligent and non hostile we could learn from them. If they are hostile yet very stupid they'd be fun to mess with.

i think that if they were to invade they would not physically invade, its not efficient. if i were an alien i would

a; release a horrible virus to kill every one
b; bombard from space
c; emp the world and watch us kill each other in panic then finish of the rest

Well, that terrible ._. . If I was an alien, I would became friends with earthlings 

[Sergalicious]

Well, that terrible ._. . If I was an alien, I would became friends with earthlings  

i would to but if i were under orders to destroy earth there are much more efficient means of victory then invasion, i was just stating a few of them. and if i became friends with earth i would not give them technology. we'd most likely just make weapons out of it and kill ourselves with them. so id just sit there, watching them. and put giant jumbotrons in the sky with giant speakers placed so they can be seen from anywhere on earth. that just runs an infinite loop of this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyguBEc2dw4

that or say i give them new technology and give them a computer that is really windows '98 computer in a high-tech looking case, make it look desktop look advanced and high tech, and set the language to ancient egyptian hieroglyphs or something.

then when they find out what i did i play this on the giant jumbotrons http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

so yea, id do stuff like that

i would however reward good people with various rewards of amazing experience like a trip to a nebula or to watch a nutron star form, i would not give an object because then the gov could take it and make it a weapon, and because experiences are more valuable then objects i think. id however give furries the ability to become anthro if they so desire.

if they come to invade... well, i'm grabbing my shotgun and barricading myself in my house, as i would in any other alien invasion.

if they do invade ill'd drop humanity and try to join them. i am disgusted of the human race but there are still good people out there. ild ask them if they can find a way to get all the good people in the world and save them. so pretty much ill tell them to save all of you since you are all good people  ill also ask if they can find a way to change me into an anthor/my fursona
