btw the reason it was super popular to hate furries in the 2000s - 2010s (and now);was because "furry" is and always has been synonymous with gay, trans or some other flavor of queer. it has nothing to do with the costumes or art.

the furry community has been an integral part of the online queer community. it has been a a pivotal and safe way for queer ppl to express themselves online without being identified by IRL homo/transphobes that could discriminate against and harm them. being able to blend creativity and escapism seamlessly with expression of sexuality and gender without having to conform to a norm has been literally vital in many queers lives.

so yea anyway furries are awesome, they literally helped me realize i was trans and bi by meeting other trans furries in furry social networks. my first exposure to trans terms like genderqueer, nonbinary, neutrois, and trans man were from other furries. ive been a furry since 2010 and im still planning on owning a fursuit :3

Help one of our fandom elders!

Mark Merlino is one of the co-founders of The Cartoon/Fantasy Organization, which was the FIRST anime club in North America. He ALSO organized ConFurence, the very first furry convention. Help a true fandom elder as he enters hospice care: donate or boost his Gofundme campaign if you can!

The 5000 Fans of Dr. T (Zines, 1981-1982)

You can read this anime zine here.

The cover artist of issues 0 and 10, furry fandom founding member Mark "Sy" Merlino, passed away recently.

If you're wondering what Osamu Tezuka would have thought of furries, the answer is: possibly whatever he thought of himself.

In your opinion, are furries part of the LGBT community?

The modern furry fandom was created by the LGBT community.

Furry culture - which promotes and celebrates self-discovery and acceptance - is a big part of why so many furries are LGBT+ themselves. Much of the hate towards furries since the 2000s has been thinly-veiled queerphobia, and that kind of hate still exists today.

I'm having an insane idea for an Ace Attorney crack fanfic

In which Dee Vázquez has a personal vendetta against one particular fanfiction author and Miles Edgeworth calls the only person he trusts to defend him in this situation. Canon typical shenanigans ensue.

#ace attorney #i know way too much about the history of copyright lawsuits for a person that has no idea about copyright law #To be fair Disney v. Air Pirates was actually kind of important to the history of the furry fandom #And I'm a nerd so of course I know about it #And I'm personally invested in every move the Tolkien state takes regarding fanfiction #And the omegaverse litigation did get a lot of attention from the mainstream media + a Lindsay Ellis video

Video

Content warnings: The video starts with flashing lights, lasting for the first fourteen seconds. Then, between the timestamps 6:57 and 8:13, the speakers refer to several types of adult topics, but they don’t go into detail.

This is “Why Are Furries Misunderstood?” a video by PBS Voices, from September 27, 2022. Eleven minutes and forty seconds long. This is a basic introduction to the furry fandom and some recent news around it.

I think my little sibbling is becoming a nazi without realizing it!

My little sibbling who is almost 13 started having a fascination with country humans, but more specifically the personified Country Balls characters and community about a year ago. But that fascination has quickly devolved into an obsession with real life figures and history interacted with and seen from the lense of that initial community. Many of these figures are surrounding nazi Germany and times of the holocaust and I don't think that they fully understand the depth of what they're consuming or why what they're consuming in a way that they are is very morally objectable.

I don't want to cause a ruckus or make it to where they don't want to talk to me because I'd rather they have someone they feel safe to talk to about this kind of stuff with in the first place, which is how I came to learn all this to begin with.

But the most ironic part is that they're queer, trans, nonbinary, a furry, and probably more that I don't currently know about. I don't even know where to BEGIN tackling something like this, especially living out of state from them. I started trying to point out the horrendous nature of the people they're idolizing and, in their words, "simping" over, but I also tried recommending some books and movies that may be in the wheelhouse of their interests while also steering them away from the type of idolization they've developed. I can't guarantee they'll actually read or watch any of them as they hate being told what to watch or consume, but the book and movie recommendations in question are;

• The Boy In The Striped Pajamas

• Freedom Writers

• 1984

•Animal Farm

and

• V Is For Vendetta

Please, if anyone can help, please I need some direction on this as soon as possible!

It's said that the furry fandom can trace it's origins into the 1970's but I think it could be argued that it goes back way further than that, I mean just watch a old Tex Avery cartoon! This is part of a program put on for the 2nd bomb division of the 8th Air Force during WWII. 1944 to be exact.

So it looks like I missed out on the latest Take Back Our Fandom nonsense on Twitter, which thankfully choked on its own vomit and deleted itself before even getting off the ground.

There's nothing I can really say about it that I haven't already said before, and will probably say again, because the dipshits who come up with this stuff keep repeating the same mistakes and hoping for different results.

It is, however, worth noting that these groups are not motivated by a desire to improve Furry fandom, no matter how benevolently they try to phrase it.

The easiest way to tell is that they frame Furry fandom as the problem. That is something that attracts anti-furries---and worse---by design, and, let's be clear here, they 100% DO NOT have Furry fandom's best interests in mind.

(I realize most folks probably get this, it's just something to keep in mind the next embarrassing attempt shows up a few weeks/months/whatever from now.)
