I was never too into it myself, but I knew people who were; I used to hang out on FurryMUCK in the West Corner of the Park, one of the token humans. Seems like a lifetime ago. (Heck, for my nieces and nephews, it is.)

And here's a handy reference chart from ... 2002, dang.

I wasn't thinking furries. I was thinking Eccentrica Gallumbits. Plus an additional tit.

honestly this is one of the bigger reveals between both QC and Alice Grove!!

Maybe Yay already knows about this if they have checked, or Dale and Marigold among others may have sometimes watched her streams without full knowledge, but really this is a very big secret that will probably be to the delight and surprise of much of the cast!!

All these cow and milk puns are reminding me that I need to find a good source of cheese curds around here. I have a craving for either Wisconsin-style fried cheese curds, or poutine. Can't decide which.

I underestimated the level of horny.

I probably shouldn't have underestimated the level of horny.

Tyr · « **Reply #27 on:** 28 Mar 2021, 22:59 »

Absolutely disgusting. MommyMilker's hair and LilBeef's shirt should be anything but white to contrast with their non-scalp hair¹!
but seriously, the nose-ring and fingerless gloves are nice touches, and this is far from the most horny VTuber avatar I've seen.

BenRG · « **Reply #28 on:** 28 Mar 2021, 23:08 »

So, it's proven that, not only did Aurelia know the fetish implications of her screen-name, she's cynically willing to exploit it for clicks and publicity. So, she's got a lot future ahead of her as a streamer. I wonder if she also does rant videos when she talks about artistic or political matters about which she has no real knowledge?

I've got to say that I'm not really comfortable with the "MommyMilkers" avatar. I guess the feeling is that Jeph is being the cynical one and using Aurelia as his means.

There is literally no difference, fur is just hair that we call something different. Fur, porcupine spines, pangolin plates, horse manes, they are all hair

DaiJB · « **Reply #30 on:** 29 Mar 2021, 01:11 »

Ummm - "perfect likeness"?? I'm stretching to find anything about it that describes her adequately - though I suppose she means it ironically ("nudge/wink" to Clinton)

I mean, Aurelia may be a lot of things, but "ample" isn't one of them

de_la_Nae · « **Reply #31 on:** 29 Mar 2021, 01:17 »

is it cynical to be fun and sexy and different, though? maybe it could be, but does it have to be? and is it here?

I'm pretty sure that the point, to Jeph, is to let his readers laugh at Clinton's reaction to the fact his mother is streaming through a 'sexy' anthro-cow filter. However, I've got to say that it personally leaves me cold and it is just an eye roller and a total miss for me: Something from which I intend to move on from as soon as and efficiently as possible.

In universe, I absolutely refuse to believe that Aurelia doesn't understand the fetish implications and, honestly, I can't see her viewing MommyMilker as her 'inner self'. It just doesn't scan right as being in-character for me. So, yeah, she's selling her stream by appealing to a certain bit of the Internet and nothing more.

de_la_Nae · « **Reply #33 on:** 29 Mar 2021, 03:30 »

do you notice that you're taking a character who we've explicitly seen is playing with music, drugs, sex, and now games, and then you're saying it doesn't "scan right" that she's playing with performance entertainment and, yes, being a sexy model, a fully clothed one i should add. "selling", sure, but "nothing" more?
i don't dispute that you're finding it off-putting, but can you see why i find your other conclusions bound up with that feeling a bit off-base?
edit: i mean, it's common to most of our species to take enjoyment and satisfaction in delighting and titillating, as well as just plain old being attractive. surely you've enjoyed, say, putting on an outfit you've worked on, and liked feeling good-looking, for example

Thrillho · « **Reply #34 on:** 29 Mar 2021, 04:14 »

I'd say that having a sexy cow avatar on the internet completely makes sense with what else we've learned about Aurelia so far. Especially if she's a stoner.

And if she's streaming enough to have a nickname for her fans, then she 100% knows that there is constantly a percentage of her audience that is masturbating to her. To be frank they should write it into the terms of service for Twitch.

Poutine, of course.

Aurelia is a not a regular mom. She’s a cool mom.

oddtail · « **Reply #38 on:** 29 Mar 2021, 05:08 »

OK, so this technically makes Clinton's mom a furry.

I think this is *the* first piece of fiction I've ever seen that has a character that's a furry. In the sense of having an anthropomorphic animal as a persona/avatar that they use to interact with others, not in the sense of the character actually *being* an anthro animal.

At least, I can't offhand think of any other examples.

Normally it’s one where the majority of characters are anthropomorphic animals, majority mammals of various species.
That said, they probably mean furry fetish comic, where all of the above is true but the character designs, story, and even setting are exaggerated along the “sexy” axis. For a given version of sexy, at least.

For the moment, it's just one single joke. No need to overreact. I agree the whole thing is kind of cringy, but once in a while, that's ok.

I think what makes this kind of cringey is the realization that now that Clinton is on that channel, a certain percentage of the audience (certainly a smaller percentage, but most likely nonzero) is masturbating to him... Aurelia signed up for that, Clinton got dragged in.

Also, the iPhone dictionary doesn’t contain the word masturbating, apparently...

sitnspin · « **Reply #46 on:** 29 Mar 2021, 07:12 »

If you exist on the internet at all, chances are at least one person is masturbating too you. Hell, as a woman, just existing in the world at all means at least one person is masturbating to you.

Yes, one single joke I can ignore, certainly. I'm just afraid this is going to be like a regular character trait of hers and the source of many jokes and references. See: Marten's mom being a dominatrix - so in half the strips she's in there's some sort of dominatrix joke. Dale and Marigold like anime which is often referenced when they are present. Steve eats cereal. These all started out as single jokes that then became ongoing things we associate with the character.

I find furries to be deeply disturbing so I just really hope there won't be ongoing furry references in the comic.
