Welcome to BIPOC Fur Hangout!

A Brave Space for BIPOC Furries Online

About

Who are we?
We are BIPOC Furry Hangout!
Our discord server is a space for BIPOC furry Adults(18 +). We have sections for all types of visual, performing, literary, and musical art. We have multiple channels to discuss interests, dedicated educational chats, queer-specific spaces and a dedicated NSFW zone.What do we mean by FURRY?
Furries are generally fans of anthropomorphic animals/creatures. They express this through artwork, costuming/fursuiting, writing, and other creative ventures! Furry-adjacents and appreciators are fine, too.What do we mean by BIPOC?
We mean anyone that is Black, Indigenous, or People of Color. This includes those who are white passing* and those who are mixed. This is a space for BIPOC ONLY.*White-passing means that someone may appear white, but they are not racially white.But what does POC mean?
POC (People of Color) is a term largely used in the west. It refers to anyone who is not white, and emphasizes the common experiences of systemic racism/discrimination across the board. This includes those of African, Asian, Indigenous, Latino, Middle Eastern, & Pacific Islander descent.What do we mean by 18+?
Well...ya need to be at least eighteen (18) years of age to join this discord. Not 'almost 18', not '18 next year'. You must ALREADY be eighteen at the time you join the server. You will need to provide proof of age when you verify. Additionally, we do still have separated SFW and NSFW sections.What is a BRAVE space? How is it different from a SAFE SPACE?
BOTH are valued and necessary in community building. However, we consider our server to be a BRAVE SPACE because we embrace and engage with our discomfort, focus on community building over self-preservation, and learn from one another. We still have CWs, tone-indicators, and anti-steamrolling rules. So you can feel safe WHILE you're brave.

UNITY

Who is Unity?!
HI! It's me! Unity!🧡🐾 I am the mascot for BIPOC Fur Discord! I represent the diversity and uniqueness within our BIPOC furry community.This is my reference sheet below so that you can get a proper look at me!
Our server founder, ChocolateQuill,
caught my good side 🙂‍↕️ Learn some cool stuff about me below ⬇️

Unity says:
1. My color pallete is inspired by multiple "skin" (re: fur) tones to represent the spectrum of skin colors BIPOC folk have.
2. I REALLY like food and believe it can connect cultures!
3. I use any pronouns (including neopronouns) because queerness is pre-colonial and BIPOC queerness is unique 🧡
4. I'm a Catdog, just an animal ™🐾"Can we draw fanart of Unity?"
You can feel free to draw me but ❗️SFW ONLY PLEASE❗️ If you are BIPOC, you can draw me wearing various hairstyles and garbs from your cultures.
Make sure to tag @bipocfurdiscord.bsky.social when you post your art so the crew can see! 👀
