They literally just implied that she is a Furry when she is not, every single part of her party is literally human except she does not have human ears, and that just her tails are added in, she does not have any FUR around her body.

She is not animalistic enough to be considered a "Furry" compare her towards nasus, and teemo,kindred and etc they have snouts, fur all over their body

now people are going to think I like furries now

They didn't imply that. She can only have fox ears and tails and still be a vastayan. Did you see the sketch of her that was included in the story? Looked pretty damn human to me

Um... here's the thing. Before, Ahri was a Gumiho, or Kumiho, or however you think it's spelled. Not a bad character idea overall, but it's just transplanting Korean mythology into a fantasy setting. Now she has an actual place in the world and will have to have an actually original story rather than exporting folklore.

Also, Vastaya's are not furries. Saying a Vastaya is a furry means that you'll have to count every other fantasy "human-animal" as a furry.

Also, what's wrogn with liking Furries? I've met furries and they're better people than most. They're also not into all the stuff people accuse them of being.

What's even wrong with being a furry? Not that she is one.

Nobody implied Ahri was a furry. That's just how you want to interpret it.

The writer (Santangelo) just identified her as part of the Vastaya because of her tails and ears.

There has been nothing else that enforces the vision of a Furry Ahri, instead he talks a lot about how he would bumbum her.

Edit: Also you should consider that Vastayas are not described in an objective way but from the eye of a first witness that also is your exemplar cocky Piltovian and ofc he would put in high importance the hybridness with beasts.

Plus, even he recognised that there are different "steps" of hybridness and that Vastayans is the equivalent of "mammals", you don't see a human and think "lol this is just a very tall lemur": There are Vastayans that are just chimerae (the monkey), other with more humanoid figures (Rengo), the rather mostly humans one (Ahri) and shapeshifters (Pigman and Nidalee?).

She might be part of a race that consists of animal humanoids,but Ahri herself was described as looking almost entirely human in the lore,so her design did not change.

Completely agree. This new Ahri lore is bullshit, makes her non-unique and is overall trash.

I like animal humanoids....... I don't give a shit what people call them you can call them what ever the fuck you want but either way I still like them. :3

someone calling them "Furries" isn't gonna change that so i just dont see the problem here.

P.S. its half the reason i touch any Korean MMO.

There is nothing wrong with the new lore, while i liked the korean folklore it really has no place in league. And from the picture riot showed i'm pretty sure i didn't see any fur anywhere besides her ears.

I knew the last thing would have been censored.

What a pitiful end the internet did.

So pathetic.

Do you even know what Yokai are?

Tesla Effect4/4/2017, 1:30:56 AM1 votes

Anthropomorphic animals were around since human existence. In japanese culture they would be Yokai (one of which is the Kitsune, aka Ahri ). In chinese you have the Journey to the West Sun Wukong MonkeyKing , and Zhu Bajie (which I have no doubts that the characer Shai from the small Vastaya story was inspired by).

All mythical creatures with magical and mystical elements to them, just like the Vastaya have.

LOL ur a furry

If people call you a furry on the boards you can A: report them and leave them to their own stupidity That's about it, I mean, that's the best thing to do, cause YOU know you aren't (or are idc) YOU know what it means, if THEY want to say "you're a furry lol" report them (bottom right hand side of their comment box) and leave it alone.


Next thing, I've seen quite a bit of talk about people being "furries" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2y8Sx4B2Sk ) On these boards of recent, so, here is what it means (best I can find)
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=furry

Now, I main Ahri, and the reason I main her isn't because (lul waifu or lul furry or lul body) It's cause I write books, one about kitsune's and kumihos (the sort) and I came across Ahri (Kumiho inspired work of art) Which how I got into the game in the first place.


Yes, I've been called a furry
No, I didn't call them a F*~*~*~*~ or say ~*~ (three letters that mean more then people think it does you should know it by now it's way to common on these boards rn)
Yes, I am well aware these champs are being called out for trying to appeal to (furry lovers) 
No, I know they aren't, they are just two champions with a cool design, backstory, and lore.
Yes, I am well aware people think they are Weeabo, 
Yes, no one seems to know what a weeabo is
This is what a weeabo is. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Weeaboo
