In the vibrant tapestry of Tennessee’s cultural landscape, one community stands out for its commitment to inclusivity, creativity, and family-friendly fun: Tn SFW Furs. This all-ages, safe-for-work (SFW) furry group has become a cornerstone for fans of anthropomorphic art, gaming, and socializing across the state. Not only has it provided a great, affordable kind of entertainment for it’s members but also frequently does charitable events giving food to those who need it, and raising money for the local community.
What Is Tn SFW Furs?
Tn SFW Furs is a Tennessee-based furry community that prioritizes a safe, inclusive, and family-friendly environment. Unlike some other furry groups, Tn SFW Furs maintains a strict no-NSFW (Not Safe For Work) policy, ensuring that all content and interactions are appropriate for families and younger audiences. This commitment to safety and inclusivity has made it a cornerstone of Tennessee’s furry scene. This group does not even allow its users to be part of the more mature side of the fandom at all to ensure that everyone within its walls are comfortable and safe.
The group’s mascot, Dolly Opossum, embodies this spirit of inclusivity and fun. A playful nod to the legendary Dolly Parton, Dolly Opossum represents the community’s values of kindness, creativity, and southern charm just like the true Dolly does for Tennessee. Started as just a silly parody character, Dolly Opossum has truly become the mascot for the wonderful members of Tn sfw furs.
A Safe Haven for All Ages
One of the standout features of Tn SFW Furs is its dedication to being a family-friendly space. The community actively fosters an environment where children, parents, and individuals of all ages can participate in many of the events without concerns. This approach not only makes it accessible to families looking for a creative and affordable outlet for their children to attend, but also encourages intergenerational connections, allowing younger members to learn from older ones and vice versa.
Monthly Events That Bring the Community Together
Tn SFW Furs hosts a variety of events throughout the year, ensuring there’s something for everyone. These gatherings are designed to promote socialization, creativity, and fun in a safe and welcoming environment.
1. Gaming Nights
Every Monday or Thursday evening, the community comes together virtually for gaming sessions. Members join the Discord server to play a different game each week, ranging from Minecraft, Fortnite, Roblox, Garry’s Mod, and even more! These sessions provide a platform for members to bond over shared interests and enjoy friendly competition and make it easier for those without a license to still meet local furs within the state. This makes it much easier for those with disabilities preventing them from driving still be able to meet local furs as well.
2. Movie Nights
On select Thursdays, Tn SFW Furs hosts movie nights where members gather online to watch family-friendly films. For instance, a recent screening featured the animated classic Rock-A-Doodle. These movie nights offer a relaxed setting for members to unwind and enjoy cinematic classics together that helped contribute to creating the furry fandom.
3. Fursuit Wrestling
An event that is soon to become a fan favorite is the Fursuit Wrestling matches. Participants don fursuits and engage in enticing wrestling bouts, showcasing their creativity and athleticism. These events are not only entertaining but also help bring together the community when members pick which wrestlers to cheer for.
4. Lock-In Sleepovers
In the future, the community is planning on organizing lock-in sleepovers, where members over the age of 18 gather at a venue for an overnight event filled with games, movies, and socializing. These sleepovers provide a unique opportunity for members to strengthen bonds and create lasting memories in a safe and supervised environment.
5. Arcade Meets
For those who enjoy classic gaming, Tn SFW Furs arranges arcade meetups. Members visit local arcades to play a variety of games, from pinball machines to modern video games. These outings offer a fun and interactive way for members to connect and enjoy each other’s company and share nostalgia from each others childhood.
6. Furry raves
Coming soon to the group as well is a whole new genre of furry rave! Setup to be 18 plus, but not allow any form of drugs at the event which will be a huge game changer for those in the community who want to go to raves but fear going to ones that may have illicit drug use at them. These events will be privately hosted and completely drug free, as well as absolutely ensuring the age of everyone who comes in is over 18.
7. Furry bar meets
The original idea maker behind the furry bar meets was none other than Tn Sfw Furs. The idea was quickly ripped off by other groups who took over the past venue, but these events aren’t gone for good. They’ll be coming back full force to a new much larger venue very soon!
Promoting Creativity and Expression
Beyond the events, Tn SFW Furs encourages members to express themselves creatively. The community hosts art contests, challenges, minigames, and other activities that allow individuals to showcase their talents and passions. This emphasis on creativity not only enriches the community but also provides members with a platform to develop and share their skills.
Community Values and Conduct
At the core of Tn SFW Furs is a set of values that prioritize respect, kindness, and inclusivity. The community enforces a strict code of conduct to ensure that all members feel safe and valued. This commitment to positive behavior fosters an environment where individuals can interact without fear of discrimination, harassment, or unwanted advances. Many groups do not go to quite the length Tn Sfw Furs goes to to ensure that none of its participating members feel uncomfortable, making it completely unique in its state.
Looking Ahead
As Tn SFW Furs continues to grow, the community remains dedicated to its mission of providing a safe, inclusive, and family-friendly space for furries in Tennessee. With a calendar full of engaging events and a welcoming atmosphere, Tn SFW Furs is poised to remain a cornerstone of the state’s furry community for years to come.
