Hey man. Well done documentary. I'm not a furry, but I think everyone should be allowed to decide for themselves how they spend their short time on this planet. Live and let live, is the motto.
Nati Whatever I like you I'm a furry and I hear a lot of hate and it's nice that someone can aculy understand and be nice to furries thank you ( you made my day )
It still boggles me to this very day why people come to videos like this simply to bash on the people who legitimately enjoy being a furry, or those who are simply curious about the fandom and it's inner workings. Like, sure. Fursuiting? Spending tons of money on custom artwork of your fursona? Roleplaying? It's certainly a weird hobby. But hey- some people spend hundreds (maybe thousands) of dollars collect stamps, matchbooks, vintage toys, etc. Some people waste hours upon hours playing video games. (I'm looking at you, CoD fans.) Some people enjoy LARPing, and often take it to levels beyond extreme. Boy, those are all some pretty weird hobbies! And you know what? They make us tick; We all like what we like. These weird hobbies make people happy. Who are you to question someone's happiness? It's not hurting you if your neighbor wants to wear an animal costume. It's in no way impacting your life. You are not losing anything. Just because you don't agree with what someone likes, doesn't make their likes a bad thing. Stop being a media-following sheep. Just because you've seen one episode of CSI, an episode of Storage Wars, and a handful of documentaries built to make furries look bad, doesn't mean you know your ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to how the fandom really works. Seriously. Grow up. /ollies outie
buttcheek i haven’t even commented? but ok. Plus i like creativity, but calling urself a hybrid elephant wolf dinosaur is cringy af and it’s way to far.
insxnity and he says grow up. you know what “ grown ups “ do they get a job, make money and have a “proffessional “ social life. I don’t remember a job where you dress up in wolf outfit and froliking around with your misfit freinds and interrupt “normal” public relations. do you?😄
insxnity okay..... if they like what they like then I’m allowed to hate what they like right? Why call me a media following sheep? Insulting isn’t any better than what I call them. They are free to make fun of me all they want only difference is I don’t like dressing like a fucking fox and wear filled diapers
If you're kind, people will be mean to you. If you're smart, people will call you autistic. If you're unique, people will call you weird. People often find flaws in others that they find in themselves. Yeah we're weird, yeah we get made fun of, but we live our lives making others happy rather than living to make others sad.
Furries are the most misunderstood group of people ever. ._. Yes there is A LOT of, dare I say it, PORN. AHHHH NOOO PORN??? YES! There's NO denying that. And a lot of it is pretty nasty, but that's not the whole meaning of the fandom. It's much more than sex, like everything else is too. The art is fascinating and seeing the work people put into their fursuits and drawings is just amazing to me. Not to mention meeting people with the same liking as you is like nothing else. We've all experienced that I'm sure. What's so bad about it? But ANYTHING can be perverted. Uhm Rule 34 anyone? Yeah. LOL Why is it a sin when it's furries? Bestiality? Yes and no. Yes there's that too because there IS animals involved, no shit, but it's not THE WHOLE FANDOM. There are also different levels of "furriness". But that's where it gets complicated. People don't go around fuckin their dogs. Maybe some sad sap does, idfk but don't pin that on everyone. Because I don't like dog dick. Ew. ._. Anime has hentai and yaoi and yuri and the freakiest rape, tentacle, incest porn ever but people still love it and don't judge. Who cares if there's sexual versions of furries? Or anime? Or fuckin Harry Potter? We're fucking horny ass humans, we have sex, we LOVE sex, we film it, talk about it, and for a good part of our lives it's all we think about, big whoop! xD Don't think someone is less than you and doesn't deserve to live just because they have different interests than you. This world would be boring AS HELL if everyone was exactly the same. :P Even if you hate furries, you NOW have something to rage about and hate on and look cool for doing it, or whatever other reason you troll. Whether you like it or not furries have done you some good. Haha!
Well I might as well try right? Lol There MIGHT actually be some people out there unlike you who will listen and understand and stop assuming ridiculous situations about something without even knowing a damn thing about it. :P That's why this world is so fucked up. This is why we can't have nice things.
I love furry haters, they are so contradictory. They'll claim that furries are all a bunch of lonely virgins who can't get laid and in the very next sentence they'll claim that they get into giant freaky orgies and THAT'S what makes them weird. So are they virgins or are they getting laid in these MASSIVE SEX EVENTS, guys? lol. I ALSO love how haters think they are in the right and are good in nature, but they throw around "autistic" as an insult as if autistic people raped and killed a billion jews or something. Essentially these "keepers of all that is decent" don't mind insulting those that are born with a neurological disorder they can't help. For reasons I guess. People confuse me. They invent the quote "Different strokes for different folks" and then completely fucking ignore it. I guess if people really DID follow that advice, the world would have a lot less problems. Can't have that, I guess. These haters say as a mean spirited joke that humanity is doomed. I completely agree, although not just as a joke and for completely different reasons.
I think the whole thing is weird, but hay that's my opinion, if it makes you happy then go ahead it's your life and no one has a right to tell you how to live it.
I don't understand people's problem with furries. Furry haters have seen The Lion King, Finding Nemo, Robin Hood etc and they're all technically anthropomorphic animals; facial expressions and human like characteristics of being able to speak. So technically, everyone's got a bit of furry with them and these are just people who like it a little more than the average person. What most people forget is its a hobby, not a lifestyle. People buy fursuits and wear them only a handful of times to conventions but between that they get on with their life. It's not affecting you, so everyone should just be able to let them do what they want.
I think it's just harmless fun to be honest.. If people enjoy doing this kinda thing then so be it, who cares, it's really not any of your business to be invested in other people's personal interests..
I love watching people really excited and passionate about what they are doing. I can't understand why someone would make fun of people having harmless fun and expressing themselves. Interesting documentary, thanks for sharing! :)
VesterNCrowley Interesting. I consider myself a furry, though I don't line up with many of the stereotypes (e.g. I am a straight guy), but honestly while I love the idea of fursuiting, I cringe at the sight of others in fursuits, not sure why.
Personally, I'm not a furry, but my boyfriend is. It's annoying that people have all these misconceptions about them. I love my boyfriend and I would never want him to change his furry lifestyle. Be proud to be yourself.
Who cares, they're eccentric. They're free to do what they want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. If you want to dress up as an animal.......go for it. If this truly bothers you, I think you might need to get a life.
The comment section is making me laugh my ass off so much. How is dressing in a fur suit any different from someone dressing as santa claus? I'd rather my kid hug a big adorable fluffy creature as oppossed to sitting on an old guys lap. Theme park Characters, Cosplay, Fursuits, Mascotts, they're all the same. Only difference is the setting. I've noticed in the comments the furries just let the insults bounce right off and take it as a joke- They're used to all the BS. The non-furries are supporting the furries and arguing more than the furries, and the haters are just straight up toxicity. LOVE. AND. PEACE. PEOPLE.
no but when you see fanart of Santa fucking an elve and 1000s of people dressed up as Santa Claus. now you see it and just think wtf are these people doing. and this is not love peace and war. this is opinions. face it. one is right. the people who are sane
Santa is a job Themepark actors are being paid They wear those costumes for a limited time Furries however, do this full time with no pay. It's disgusting and horrifying to see a child hug and play with a furry. Where the fuck are your morals
It definitely has something to do with internet relationships. They offer you a certain anonymity, you can hide your real emotions, and your visual appearance is hidden. Being in a suit offers the same traits.
You're absolutely right. Isn't that great though? Putting on a new identity, getting a break from your work-you, your family-you once in a while.. This need is somehow rooted in every human being. All the gamers creating their own character, all the people hiding behind internet personas, the people going out to a nightclub behaving like a complete stranger comparing to their daily life... The Furries can be someone they made up themselves without being jugded for it in their subculture. I admire them for being that openminded and accepting. (I'm sorry if my english isn't perfect. Still learing english.)
+Vigor The Sloth or catastrophe sometimes things need to stay the same but if another planet is discovered im booking there asap and making it a better place then earth
I use to not think much of furries, never really had an opinion on them besides "they're kinda weird", however after watching this, these people are normal people who happen to enjoy a unique fetish. I'm not a furry...I don't wanna be, but I won't hate them. We're all, into weird shit...
Most of them are just normal people with normal lives. I'm 99% sure a furry has been your doctor, dentist, eye doctor, etc. in some part of your life, whether you know it or not. After all, you don;t know who is under them suits X) It could even be a celebrity undercover
Drew K Uncle Kage has a PhD, Tony Ringtail is a NYS firemen, 2 Gryphon is a professional comedian with his own studio, Lemonade Coyote was a person who worked in the health industry with doctors and nurses, and so on.
RandomThing We get offended easily. It's elementary school logic, someone gets angry easily, it's funny to them, so they do everything in their power to make that person angry. There's also the fact that we're weird and some of us tend to get a little overly exited for this fandom and those people shove this fandom down non-furries' throats. And then there are those people who think that the fandom is nothing but porn and bestiality and they refuse to do any research because "I'm right about everything and everyone else is wrong if anyone disagrees with me they're down-autisi-tarded!!!!1!"
"Excuse me sir, could you please enlighten me as to the positive purpose behind the embodiment of a fursona?" "Beneath the skin...we are already...one."
As someone who has been to a few furry conventions with friends. I am not a furry, but I can say that there are good things and bad things in this fandom. The good things largely out weigh the bad. There is a sense of community, love and acceptance in the fandom. There is loads of creativity. The negatives, like in every fandom, come from those perverting it and turning into something dark.
I have absolutely NO problem with furries. Do what you want and love! BUT, what worries me is the pornographic fanart of anthropomorphic animals cause it's sort of a step towards bestiality which is disgusting and cruel. I understand that not all furries want to have sex with animals and the furry culture isn't entirely sexual, but the part that sexualizes it concerns me.
Yeah, I know. For most fandoms, I'm perfectly okay with the pornographic fanart. It is just the fanart with the anthropomorphic animals that worries me because it uses the face and characteristics of an animal.
S0lidSpy24 they still have animal features like an animal's face, paws, tail, fur, etc. and in a normal person's mind, that image immediately links to an animal that it relates to, like a bunny furry. The bunny furry is still a bunny but all it has is some human characteristics that make it somewhat different from a regular rabbit. All-in-all, it's still a rabbit.
People understand that what may be arousing in fantasy isn't arousing in real life. Even if they do find actual animals erotic, they have a thing called self control. They can make the distinction between reality and fantasy.
it makes me ashamed to see all these ignorant people taking autism so lightly. think of it this way, the last thing a socially awkward person wants to do is get attention. fur suiters dress up and can be seen a mile away. these people are brave. also, Bill gates has autism and so did Abe Lincoln and Albert Einstein. they had Asperger's, a high functioning autism.
1:03 in - I see great production quality, good voice over quality, and a seemingly well organized layout of information to come. I haven't seen this and I know it's gonna be the best furry documentary on YT. I'm watching this. Will comment again on pt 3.
Shadow_Wolf Sadly its everywhere :/, But that cant be the only source of hate for most people, almost every fandom has its porn side. ive learned to ignore it mostly
+Shadow_Wolf My favourite is the great and varied artwork. My least favourite is the costuming and cringeworthy public behaviour that only spreads the negative stereotype.
Wow... Just Wow... I haven't heard so many hateful words in one place for quite a while. To the people who are hating on the Furry community in such a vicious, cut-throat manner: KNOCK IT OFF. I know that you would NEVER be courageous enough to say these hate speeches to a Furry in person. You should be lucky that someone hasn't reported you for hate speech and got your accounts band. I can say for certain that you are FAR more unsavory people than worst of the furry community, and I hope for your sake that you are a bunch of trolls. But in any case, shame on you. And if anyone is still thirsty for blood, COME GET ME. I'm a Furry and a proud one, and if you want to hate me for it, go ahead. I can take it.
Ok so it's weird but I somehow came upon a website about a guy whose fursona was a blue wolf.. I forget his name but he just seemed like a normal dude and his website was well made. Geeze that was over 15 years go now. I'm honestly too nervous to be open with myself.. like idk if I have a fursona or whatever. But I understand the fandom for sure.
The fandom may not be what you are used to, but to me and furries around the world, it is a beautiful thing. For me personally, the fandom stopped me from having a mental breakdown due to bullying issues. The fact that the, as you called 'pathetic losers' were there for me made me remember that there are other people like me. The fandom is kind and welcoming and it most certainly does not rule our lives, it's just a big part of it. It's strange, yes, but to me, that's what makes it special.
Uh I'm not a furry (yet?). But I think that the idea is very cool. But the thing is that the uh character (fursona I guess you could call it) is not a furry animal. It's a shark. Does that still count?
mr. blank I'm not a furry, but simply dressing up and having fun is a LOT better than say, going out getting drunk or anything that 'normal' people do on their weekend. Just because something is considered socially acceptable, and some things not, does not mean those 'norms' are good. Something is wrong with a society that puts negativity on something as harmless as furries, but finds it perfectly ok for people to spend their time ruining their bodies, putting others down on tv, movies etc and going around on RUclips posting negative comments.
Adrian Haynes You're absolutely right, Adrian! Sexualizing anthropomorphic cartoon animals, putting on animal costumes and pretending to be a fictional character is much better than the alternatives!
mr. blank Clearly your own insecurities are what made you have this judgement, but if you think there is something wrong with dressing up as fictional characters and not harming anyone ,you are the one people need to reject. Having said that though, seeing as you are a fellow atheist it interests me that you would have this view seeing as it more closely akin to something of a catholic or islamic view? Richard Dawkins himself would defend people like furries; people who have simplistic pleasures that hurt no one and bring people together from around the world. If you are the type of person people listen to; a negative, degrading individual, then I see why so many have such awful views of other atheists. Perhaps it is time to mature and realise the world is not your version of black and white, but rather hundreds of shades of grey. After all, you would say what they are doing is bad yet you are the one who is spreading negative comments no? And yet these people have still not inflicted themselves onto your life the way you have on theirs. So to end my rant, please learn about other ways of life and cultures before you start forcing your particular ones onto other innocent people! :)
You see, furries aren't bad people. I personally am not one, but I haven't had one bad experience with one! They're mostly good people and deserve respect. They put tons of time and money into this. Everyone in this community is so misunderstood. Not everyone is creepy or "jacking off to animals" like tons of people think. I have no problem with this community and I actually want to know more about it, it's an extremely interesting community, in my opinion. Sorry if this offended anyone!
Well, I finally broke about 2 weeks ago. I told myself that I wouldn't be apart of something like this and that was 4 to 6 years ago. Now about after becoming a Brony in 2011-12, I still said that. In 2016, that changed.
I don't find furries (i am one) weird at all! You all are just like bronies, or nerds, or geeks, you bring your best fantasy to life. I know I will get hate on this comment but I fucking hate Normal people. Why not stand out?? Some people have personas with masturbating or sex. Same thing with US. We have personas with animals. Animals that get US and we feel like a new being when we are them. I'm crush kuntora. A panda. I will not let one "normie" rule me over because I AM A FURRY, AND I AM PROUD.
Lets look at it from this way. How about a Public Forum. Pro.1. Its a hobby. 2. Got to admit they are a pretty creative thing. 3. (Psst. been in almost every sifi movie since the late 19 hundreds.) 4. Its an art style, a creative output. 5. Just imaginations and dreams to life. Con (what you probably looked at first.) 1.Japan got to it. 2. I do admit, it can be pretty wierd. AHEM COUGH yiff COUGH 3. Some people take it WWWWAAAAAAAAAYYYY to far. Conclusions. Pro. Its pretty fun to to do. Con. ALL THER FUCKING IS IS DICK TITTIES!!!!!!!!!!
I’m not a furry myself but I think this documentary is really informative. frankly, I think that we all need to stop harassing these people because they literally have done nothing wrong. It’s an unusual form of self expression (at least from my point of view), but it’s interesting nonetheless. thanks for this video
+RedLeader 9001 They are all busy drawing of fursuiting. They are the most active part of the fandom. But yes, it would be nice to have more female people in the fandom. I think it's just about 20% females.
sites.google.com/site/anthropomorphicresearch/past-results/furry-fiesta-2012 Well, maybe you look for research then. I know, it's a bit hard to understand, but you are smart.
sites.google.com/site/anthropomorphicresearch/past-results/iarp-2014---3-fandom-project Oh. And here is the proof with the 20%. Sports fans only have 30% of female fans. Sorry, but that's just the participation in the study and merely a slice of reality, but large enough to be representative.
Man, I don't know what to think about furries. Initially, I thought they were all sex-crazed wierdos but after watching this, that's obviously that's not the case. I'm so confused! :/
Were all not like that. We are a group of people that like to get together and have a good time. We all don't evolve around yiff, we just like to feel what we are feeling on the inside and how we connect to animals.
Dr. Matthew Craig Caleb Jones IV so what have we learned today? that csi 1000 ways to die ect are scum and shouldnt be taken seriously about fandoms :P
Man, I don't know what to think about humans. Initially, I thought they were all sex-crazed weirdos but after watching this, that's obviously not the case. I'm so confused! :/ (see what I did there? :3)
I thought furries were the ones that had sexual thoughts about anthropomorphic animals specifically I mean everyone likes cute animals that have human traits Disney/ Pixar to name a few. And alot of people like to think they have a spirit animal of some kind. I dunno i think the word furries has a really bad association with it. I think a different name needs to be used for the ones who are into borderline bestiality.
While for some people it is a sexual thing, most people dont much care for it. It's really fucked that people are opposed to something as diverse as humanity itself, and for the bestiality part... they're not furries theyre sick fucks that need to be locked up and treated
listen to you haters.. Your attitudes are what is wrong with this world. Empty at clip on innocent people who are just different from you.. really? Furries are people. You are not funny. Open your eyes and see what this kind of crap your spewing does.
Matthew Adams How far are those from you? You do need to save up quite a bit of money. You don't need a fursuit or even ears or a tail. Just walk in normally and enjoy the con. You'll need money for possibly a hotel and food throughout the con mainly. They do have art, books, accessories, things of that nature you could also buy.
I'm sorry. I said something extremely rude, and childish. I insulted this type of fandom, not even knowing that I myself liked it. Kind of ironic, seeing as I am an....F-...Furry. Yes, I said it. Insult me all you want, but I just want to apologize for what I have said.
you like to fucking hate on everything dont you??? like people who do what ever they do with Tech Decks... your what i like to call, i waist of useful oxygen on earth.
wow.... well first off, you dont know me so shut the hell up, and second off i spend hours working one CLEAN drawing of wolves, i dont suppose you do anything productive?? i work hard on what i do you it looks like you just sit here and hate on what people like! So go fuck yourself cause it sounds like its the only thing you'll be good to.
Con O'Neill Furries arent attracted to animals. Its just a way to express a liking for nature or the art style. Just like normal society, theres only a small percent that have strange fetishes like that, but they are still out there and tend to ruin the image of the majority.
Con O'Neill If you are talking about sexual attraction, then that would be a very private matter. These aren't things that people would be open about or get strangers involved in. But as for attraction attraction then most of them yes, but the same goes for many non-furries. If you're a dog or cat lover for example you basically have an attraction to those animals. Affinity is a better word to use for that though, look it up.
So I'm confused here do Furries want to be Animals or Fuck Animals or do they just want to make crappy fanart and costumes for the rest of there lives.
***** Stop lying to these people. Furryism IS a fetish. Well, true Furries have the fetish, I mean. All the others are just into art or costumes. But don't get me wrong. To an non-Furry reading this comment, this does not mean Furries want to fuck animals. No, there is such a thing called sexual attraction to Anthropomorphic Animals, which is heavily tied to Furryism. People need to realize that sex isn't a bad thing, infact it's a very good thing. It has ensured our survival as a species for many, many years. It's sad to say that the media has brainwashed kids into thinking that sex is a bad thing to even talk about. So yes, if anyone's wondering, the Furry Fandom IS about sex, quite a large part of it, infact. Way more than most other Furries say so, because they're afraid non-Furries will demean them for being sex addicts. Well too bad, you chose this Fandom so you deal with the negatives.
Thallanar Rabidtooth You can see it that way if you want, I'm fine in putting my hands up and saying yes some do have some sort of sexuality with anthropomorphic characters but you have to face it as well as us that, we aren't all like that. You cannot judge on a community upon one individual.
***** I agree, not all Furries are like that, but I was just a little frustrated to see some Furries completely DENY that there's a sexual aspect at all. I believe it's best for non-Furries to know the truth about our Fandom, instead of being fed a lie,.
us furries will stick together forever we get maid fun of on a daily basis iv Ben a furry for 2 years eny body that's being maid fun of just know if they have time to make fun of you clearly they have nothing good going for them in life #furry for life
Sae Hiro What is so "disgusting" about them? They're just one of many fandoms that exist. All of which are diverse. Jumping to conclusions or making assumptions about them is just silly. My interactions with the furry fandom were a lot more positive. I don't know where/how you interacted with them, but obviously you were in the wrong kind of place.
Some of the comments are very nice. And it's good to see you understand. Most furries are bullied but some people are super nice. I never thought I would say this to a non furry. Thank you
If you want to "escape reality" do something normal like listen to music, or play video games, or watch movies! Don't dress up as oversized animal freaks and draw attention.
+John Hanx idk why people bash on furries so much. Imo a fat man wearing a red suit and sneaks into our houses is a more terrifying figure head if you think about it. But no one thinks anything bad of jolly ol' santa clause. He knows if you've been bad or good.. so be good for goodness sakes.
+John Hanx Maybe they do it because they want... I found out about furries a week ago and to be honest, it creeped me out a bit, but then I realize hey! If they're happy with that... it's okay. why should they do what's "normal" instead?
I have never been a furry myself, but I fell in with the MLP crowd a few months back, and I think it's helped me become a more open-minded person. I admit, I still find the fursuits to be kinda creepy, and I couldn't see myself going to a convention of theirs, but the artistic and spiritual aspects of the fandom that were mentioned in the beginning of the video make a lot of sense to me. If these guys are simply doing what makes them happy, then more power to them.
Furries are pretty much what I would have expected, actually. Fat, socially awkward, intensely nerdy, physically unpleasant people who probably have a really hard time in real life due to their appearance and lack of social skills. I mean let's be real, you don't turn to an obsession with cartoon animals because everything is going really great for you IRL. LOL
And that's bad? Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that in this society it's bad to be fat or awkward or different. Because everyone has to be the same, cookie cutter cut-out as everyone else. And btw, I am a furry, and I'm in great shape and plenty others are too. It doesn't even matter if we are or not. It's people like you that make the world an awful, shitty place. I am doing nothing to hurt you or anyone else by being a furry. Grow up.
OHOHO you so pep care about it. I honestly dont give a shit about furrys XD They didn''t efefect my life anyways. Oh and taking something serious on INTERNET is just stupid.
you are a moron that judges people you know nothing about, is that normal! sadly it is theses days! no we don't want to have sex with animals. that is like saying even little kid that watches looney toons, tony the tiger or the Trix rabbit really wants to do them.
Mike Newbold to me it sounds like "fucking" is all you ever think about. so who is the real perv! you can sit here and make up your false and dirty nonsense if you want. but while you sit at home making everything around you all about sex. us furries will be out having fun in a lighthearted and care free way.
theduke ofweasels come on though mate, furries are social outcasts, often unable to form meaningful relationships and more often than not are autistic. It is a weird thing to be into you must admit that.
Mike Newbold it is an unusual hobby but we are not autistic or social outcasts. there are lots of normal people that just like art and dressing like the characters they create as a weekend hobby.
This is a very nice documentary. I found it on Vimeo. Unfortunately, people don't know how to get along and accept what they think is strange to them. No one is safe from the ignorance that the uneducated put out into the world. People are into different things, but many can't understand that. I feel sorry for both the persecutors and the persecuted. I'm sure one day the ignorant will come to enlightenment and realize the error of their biased ways. Furry pride from Tangent! Full support! Come at me scrublords I'm ripped!
Not entirely. I, being a furry, have had some of my friends in the furry fandom actually convert over to being a brony after having a group of furries that had a high popularity and abuse it (sometimes referred to as "popufurs" or elitist furries) had given him a lot of grief for changing his fursona completely. Some bronies are actually converted furries who left because they assumed most of the fandom was like that, which they're not.
This is a legitimate concern voiced by many including yourself, and I agree. The only female interviewee I had lined up ended up having to cancel last minute. The interviews were otherwise not pre-arranged. It was pure convenience sampling in a very narrow window of time. If I could re-do this documentary, or if I created another, the interviewees would be deliberately more diverse.
I searched this after people with strange RUclips names showed up and I'm much more informed now. I actually quite like some of the art, and there are cool animations from Tirrel which I like. Don't want to wear a suit or be an animal or anything but respect the subculture.
Hey man. Well done documentary. I'm not a furry, but I think everyone should be allowed to decide for themselves how they spend their short time on this planet. Live and let live, is the motto.
Nati Whatever I like you I'm a furry and I hear a lot of hate and it's nice that someone can aculy understand and be nice to furries thank you ( you made my day )
Nati Whatever would you date a furry?
Nati Whatever thanks!
Unless this ever-changing world in which we’re living makes us give up and cry.
Then we say live and let die
It still boggles me to this very day why people come to videos like this simply to bash on the people who legitimately enjoy being a furry, or those who are simply curious about the fandom and it's inner workings.
Like, sure. Fursuiting? Spending tons of money on custom artwork of your fursona? Roleplaying? It's certainly a weird hobby.
But hey- some people spend hundreds (maybe thousands) of dollars collect stamps, matchbooks, vintage toys, etc.
Some people waste hours upon hours playing video games. (I'm looking at you, CoD fans.)
Some people enjoy LARPing, and often take it to levels beyond extreme.
Boy, those are all some pretty weird hobbies!
And you know what?
They make us tick; We all like what we like.
These weird hobbies make people happy.
Who are you to question someone's happiness?
It's not hurting you if your neighbor wants to wear an animal costume.
It's in no way impacting your life.
You are not losing anything.
Just because you don't agree with what someone likes, doesn't make their likes a bad thing.
Stop being a media-following sheep.
Just because you've seen one episode of CSI, an episode of Storage Wars, and a handful of documentaries built to make furries look bad, doesn't mean you know your ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to how the fandom really works.
Seriously.
Grow up.
/ollies outie
insxnity you got 40 likes nobody believes you. furries r fucked in da head
Twisted i mean that are more likes than you got, right?
buttcheek i haven’t even commented? but ok. Plus i like creativity, but calling urself a hybrid elephant wolf dinosaur is cringy af and it’s way to far.
insxnity and he says grow up. you know what “ grown ups “ do they get a job, make money and have a “proffessional “ social life. I don’t remember a job where you dress up in wolf outfit and froliking around with your misfit freinds and interrupt “normal” public relations. do you?😄
insxnity okay..... if they like what they like then I’m allowed to hate what they like right? Why call me a media following sheep? Insulting isn’t any better than what I call them. They are free to make fun of me all they want only difference is I don’t like dressing like a fucking fox and wear filled diapers
If you're kind, people will be mean to you.
If you're smart, people will call you autistic.
If you're unique, people will call you weird.
People often find flaws in others that they find in themselves.
Yeah we're weird, yeah we get made fun of, but we live our lives making others happy rather than living to make others sad.
+The212b i know right there just a huge buch of people that dont know what fun is

Furries are the most misunderstood group of people ever. ._.
Yes there is A LOT of, dare I say it, PORN. AHHHH NOOO PORN??? YES! There's NO denying that. And a lot of it is pretty nasty, but that's not the whole meaning of the fandom. It's much more than sex, like everything else is too. The art is fascinating and seeing the work people put into their fursuits and drawings is just amazing to me. Not to mention meeting people with the same liking as you is like nothing else. We've all experienced that I'm sure. What's so bad about it?
But ANYTHING can be perverted. Uhm Rule 34 anyone? Yeah. LOL Why is it a sin when it's furries? Bestiality? Yes and no. Yes there's that too because there IS animals involved, no shit, but it's not THE WHOLE FANDOM. There are also different levels of "furriness". But that's where it gets complicated. People don't go around fuckin their dogs. Maybe some sad sap does, idfk but don't pin that on everyone. Because I don't like dog dick. Ew. ._.
Anime has hentai and yaoi and yuri and the freakiest rape, tentacle, incest porn ever but people still love it and don't judge. Who cares if there's sexual versions of furries? Or anime? Or fuckin Harry Potter? We're fucking horny ass humans, we have sex, we LOVE sex, we film it, talk about it, and for a good part of our lives it's all we think about, big whoop! xD Don't think someone is less than you and doesn't deserve to live just because they have different interests than you. This world would be boring AS HELL if everyone was exactly the same. :P Even if you hate furries, you NOW have something to rage about and hate on and look cool for doing it, or whatever other reason you troll. Whether you like it or not furries have done you some good. Haha!
If you like fucking animals that's fine. No need for a long explanation which i guarentee no one will bother reading
Well I might as well try right? Lol There MIGHT actually be some people out there unlike you who will listen and understand and stop assuming ridiculous situations about something without even knowing a damn thing about it. :P That's why this world is so fucked up. This is why we can't have nice things.
Amber Jones Well i can have nice things but i don't have to fuck animals. Best of both worlds really. maybe you should seek psychiactric help?
mikefromburn No one should have to fuck animals what the hell is wrong with you? xD Ew go see someone about that you freak. Hahah!
No I think you do buddy. Careful you don't get AIDS. :P
I love furry haters, they are so contradictory. They'll claim that furries are all a bunch of lonely virgins who can't get laid and in the very next sentence they'll claim that they get into giant freaky orgies and THAT'S what makes them weird.
So are they virgins or are they getting laid in these MASSIVE SEX EVENTS, guys? lol.
I ALSO love how haters think they are in the right and are good in nature, but they throw around "autistic" as an insult as if autistic people raped and killed a billion jews or something. Essentially these "keepers of all that is decent" don't mind insulting those that are born with a neurological disorder they can't help. For reasons I guess.
People confuse me. They invent the quote "Different strokes for different folks" and then completely fucking ignore it. I guess if people really DID follow that advice, the world would have a lot less problems. Can't have that, I guess. These haters say as a mean spirited joke that humanity is doomed. I completely agree, although not just as a joke and for completely different reasons.
***** "I'd run away crying like a little bitch if a furry approached me"
You brag about this?
I'm not a furry but I really don't mind them. I mean, the fursuits are cute, the art is impressive, there's nothing for me to hate on for that

It's been going on since arabia times
When people hate on Furries you can now say they have been around longer than them
Yeah if was created in the 1980's with ROWRBRAZZLE or just BRAZZLE
I think the whole thing is weird, but hay that's my opinion, if it makes you happy then go ahead it's your life and no one has a right to tell you how to live it.
And it's fine to have opinions, thanks for not being a jerk about it 👍
+Penelope Rey omg! I've been waiting to see a comment with an actually nice outlook from a non-furry!! You've no idea how elated I am right now
I'm a furry and I respect your opinion :)
I don't understand people's problem with furries. Furry haters have seen The Lion King, Finding Nemo, Robin Hood etc and they're all technically anthropomorphic animals; facial expressions and human like characteristics of being able to speak. So technically, everyone's got a bit of furry with them and these are just people who like it a little more than the average person. What most people forget is its a hobby, not a lifestyle. People buy fursuits and wear them only a handful of times to conventions but between that they get on with their life. It's not affecting you, so everyone should just be able to let them do what they want.
S0lidSpy24

I love watching people really excited and passionate about what they are doing. I can't understand why someone would make fun of people having harmless fun and expressing themselves. Interesting documentary, thanks for sharing! :)

VesterNCrowley Interesting. I consider myself a furry, though I don't line up with many of the stereotypes (e.g. I am a straight guy), but honestly while I love the idea of fursuiting, I cringe at the sight of others in fursuits, not sure why.
Personally, I'm not a furry, but my boyfriend is. It's annoying that people have all these misconceptions about them. I love my boyfriend and I would never want him to change his furry lifestyle. Be proud to be yourself.

Who cares, they're eccentric. They're free to do what they want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. If you want to dress up as an animal.......go for it. If this truly bothers you, I think you might need to get a life.

NimbleDust Yep, my comment :)
+Justin Hopkins :)
If this bothers them, simply dont watch this..we, furries, don't need their opinion or reaction
Well said C:
The comment section is making me laugh my ass off so much.
How is dressing in a fur suit any different from someone dressing as santa claus? I'd rather my kid hug a big adorable fluffy creature as oppossed to sitting on an old guys lap. Theme park Characters, Cosplay, Fursuits, Mascotts, they're all the same. Only difference is the setting.
I've noticed in the comments the furries just let the insults bounce right off and take it as a joke- They're used to all the BS. The non-furries are supporting the furries and arguing more than the furries, and the haters are just straight up toxicity.
LOVE. AND. PEACE. PEOPLE.
no but when you see fanart of Santa fucking an elve and 1000s of people dressed up as Santa Claus. now you see it and just think wtf are these people doing. and this is not love peace and war. this is opinions. face it. one is right. the people who are sane
+Dylan Murtagh Yeah. The furries.
Oh boy its a weeaboo
Santa is a job
Themepark actors are being paid
They wear those costumes for a limited time
Furries however, do this full time with no pay. It's disgusting and horrifying to see a child hug and play with a furry. Where the fuck are your morals

It definitely has something to do with internet relationships. They offer you a certain anonymity, you can hide your real emotions, and your visual appearance is hidden. Being in a suit offers the same traits.
I agree. The social expression in Wow is a great example.
You're absolutely right. Isn't that great though? Putting on a new identity, getting a break from your work-you, your family-you once in a while.. This need is somehow rooted in every human being. All the gamers creating their own character, all the people hiding behind internet personas, the people going out to a nightclub behaving like a complete stranger comparing to their daily life... The Furries can be someone they made up themselves without being jugded for it in their subculture. I admire them for being that openminded and accepting. (I'm sorry if my english isn't perfect. Still learing english.)
@@JustNatax3 I agree with you I'm a new furry trying to learn more

No, Doctors and Dentists are far too intelligent to be hanging around people dressed up as animals and acting like what they're doing is somehow cool.

S0lidSpy24 Okay thanx for the explanation c:
RandomThing because people can't handle anything being diffrent
RandomThing We get offended easily. It's elementary school logic, someone gets angry easily, it's funny to them, so they do everything in their power to make that person angry. There's also the fact that we're weird and some of us tend to get a little overly exited for this fandom and those people shove this fandom down non-furries' throats. And then there are those people who think that the fandom is nothing but porn and bestiality and they refuse to do any research because "I'm right about everything and everyone else is wrong if anyone disagrees with me they're down-autisi-tarded!!!!1!"

As someone who has been to a few furry conventions with friends. I am not a furry, but I can say that there are good things and bad things in this fandom. The good things largely out weigh the bad. There is a sense of community, love and acceptance in the fandom. There is loads of creativity. The negatives, like in every fandom, come from those perverting it and turning into something dark.
Thank you for the thoughtful point of view!
I’m not a furry but I identify with house cats. I’m independent, a loner, and easily angered.
I have absolutely NO problem with furries. Do what you want and love! BUT, what worries me is the pornographic fanart of anthropomorphic animals cause it's sort of a step towards bestiality which is disgusting and cruel. I understand that not all furries want to have sex with animals and the furry culture isn't entirely sexual, but the part that sexualizes it concerns me.
But you do know that most fandoms have that kind of art in them right?
Yeah, I know. For most fandoms, I'm perfectly okay with the pornographic fanart. It is just the fanart with the anthropomorphic animals that worries me because it uses the face and characteristics of an animal.
SoraMisery
S0lidSpy24 they still have animal features like an animal's face, paws, tail, fur, etc. and in a normal person's mind, that image immediately links to an animal that it relates to, like a bunny furry. The bunny furry is still a bunny but all it has is some human characteristics that make it somewhat different from a regular rabbit. All-in-all, it's still a rabbit.
People understand that what may be arousing in fantasy isn't arousing in real life. Even if they do find actual animals erotic, they have a thing called self control. They can make the distinction between reality and fantasy.
it makes me ashamed to see all these ignorant people taking autism so lightly. think of it this way, the last thing a socially awkward person wants to do is get attention. fur suiters dress up and can be seen a mile away. these people are brave. also, Bill gates has autism and so did Abe Lincoln and Albert Einstein. they had Asperger's, a high functioning autism.
Finally some one understands
I thought Aspergers was a low functioning autism ,is it not?
this was pretty good. i’m not a furry, but it was really cool to see what this community is about and what it’s like. pretty cool.
Thank you!
1:03 in - I see great production quality, good voice over quality, and a seemingly well organized layout of information to come. I haven't seen this and I know it's gonna be the best furry documentary on YT. I'm watching this. Will comment again on pt 3.
My favourite part of furries is the costumes my least favourite is the p0rn

Couldnt agree with you more!
+Shadow_Wolf My favourite is the great and varied artwork.
My least favourite is the costuming and cringeworthy public behaviour that only spreads the negative stereotype.
Haters gonna hate, shake it off ;)
Wow... Just Wow... I haven't heard so many hateful words in one place for quite a while. To the people who are hating on the Furry community in such a vicious, cut-throat manner: KNOCK IT OFF. I know that you would NEVER be courageous enough to say these hate speeches to a Furry in person. You should be lucky that someone hasn't reported you for hate speech and got your accounts band. I can say for certain that you are FAR more unsavory people than worst of the furry community, and I hope for your sake that you are a bunch of trolls. But in any case, shame on you. And if anyone is still thirsty for blood, COME GET ME. I'm a Furry and a proud one, and if you want to hate me for it, go ahead. I can take it.
I’m a young furry. I haven’t been hated on, but I’m scared.
@@trashlol4170 hey it's okay! Don't be afraid of the hate. Just ignore it! Please be yourself! C3 I'm also a younger fur too!! :-D
Ok so it's weird but I somehow came upon a website about a guy whose fursona was a blue wolf.. I forget his name but he just seemed like a normal dude and his website was well made. Geeze that was over 15 years go now. I'm honestly too nervous to be open with myself.. like idk if I have a fursona or whatever. But I understand the fandom for sure.
It’s ok to be you. Being a furry doesn’t harm anyone. It’s just being a fan of something. And a little escapism. :)
Curt Pehrson Escapism seems to be something I'm constantly chasing. Who knows!
The fandom may not be what you are used to, but to me and furries around the world, it is a beautiful thing. For me personally, the fandom stopped me from having a mental breakdown due to bullying issues. The fact that the, as you called 'pathetic losers' were there for me made me remember that there are other people like me. The fandom is kind and welcoming and it most certainly does not rule our lives, it's just a big part of it. It's strange, yes, but to me, that's what makes it special.
who else is watching this thats a furry?

No way, TRIBLAST! That is absolutely terrible. I cannot fathom why people would do such a thing. :)
mr. blank
I'm not a furry, but simply dressing up and having fun is a LOT better than say, going out getting drunk or anything that 'normal' people do on their weekend. Just because something is considered socially acceptable, and some things not, does not mean those 'norms' are good. Something is wrong with a society that puts negativity on something as harmless as furries, but finds it perfectly ok for people to spend their time ruining their bodies, putting others down on tv, movies etc and going around on RUclips posting negative comments.
Adrian Haynes
You're absolutely right, Adrian! Sexualizing anthropomorphic cartoon animals, putting on animal costumes and pretending to be a fictional character is much better than the alternatives!
Adrian Haynes Amen to that! :D
mr. blank
Clearly your own insecurities are what made you have this judgement, but if you think there is something wrong with dressing up as fictional characters and not harming anyone ,you are the one people need to reject. Having said that though, seeing as you are a fellow atheist it interests me that you would have this view seeing as it more closely akin to something of a catholic or islamic view? Richard Dawkins himself would defend people like furries; people who have simplistic pleasures that hurt no one and bring people together from around the world. If you are the type of person people listen to; a negative, degrading individual, then I see why so many have such awful views of other atheists. Perhaps it is time to mature and realise the world is not your version of black and white, but rather hundreds of shades of grey. After all, you would say what they are doing is bad yet you are the one who is spreading negative comments no? And yet these people have still not inflicted themselves onto your life the way you have on theirs. So to end my rant, please learn about other ways of life and cultures before you start forcing your particular ones onto other innocent people!
:)
I've been on the internet so long... Watching something like this is long overdue. Anyone else feel the same?
You see, furries aren't bad people. I personally am not one, but I haven't had one bad experience with one! They're mostly good people and deserve respect. They put tons of time and money into this. Everyone in this community is so misunderstood. Not everyone is creepy or "jacking off to animals" like tons of people think. I have no problem with this community and I actually want to know more about it, it's an extremely interesting community, in my opinion. Sorry if this offended anyone!

THANK you for explaining what documentaries are supposed to be like.
I thought furries were the ones that had sexual thoughts about anthropomorphic animals specifically
I mean everyone likes cute animals that have human traits Disney/ Pixar to name a few. And alot of people like to think they have a spirit animal of some kind.
I dunno i think the word furries has a really bad association with it. I think a different name needs to be used for the ones who are into borderline bestiality.
S0lidSpy24 Admit it, you got that from Uncle Kage, didn't you?
Oh there is, we call them “murries” that side of the fandom is incredibly small though.
While for some people it is a sexual thing, most people dont much care for it. It's really fucked that people are opposed to something as diverse as humanity itself, and for the bestiality part... they're not furries theyre sick fucks that need to be locked up and treated
lost me at "fursona"
+Padraig c play on word of "persona" but for furries. Like an alter ego

Matthew Adams How far are those from you? You do need to save up quite a bit of money. You don't need a fursuit or even ears or a tail. Just walk in normally and enjoy the con. You'll need money for possibly a hotel and food throughout the con mainly. They do have art, books, accessories, things of that nature you could also buy.
As a fellow Furry and musical artist, I adore this. Thank you.
Anybody else think Monsters v aliens when the scientist said he was a cocroch?
I'm sorry.
I said something extremely rude, and childish. I insulted this type of fandom, not even knowing that I myself liked it.
Kind of ironic, seeing as I am an....F-...Furry. Yes, I said it. Insult me all you want, but I just want to apologize for what I have said.
you like to fucking hate on everything dont you??? like people who do what ever they do with Tech Decks... your what i like to call, i waist of useful oxygen on earth.
[Insert Stupidity]
wow.... well first off, you dont know me so shut the hell up, and second off i spend hours working one CLEAN drawing of wolves, i dont suppose you do anything productive?? i work hard on what i do you it looks like you just sit here and hate on what people like! So go fuck yourself cause it sounds like its the only thing you'll be good to.
Diamond Collie [Insert Stupidity]
Brian Cotter Its fine, at least you noticed
Save me.
wake me up
Vic Quinn I've been living. It's happening inside!
NoDubstepHere yes
There's a fuckin convention for furries? What the fuck?
There is a convention for anything these days
Are furries attracted to humanoid animals? Because that's a bit messed up since it basically means that they're attracted to the faces of animals.
Con O'Neill Furries arent attracted to animals. Its just a way to express a liking for nature or the art style. Just like normal society, theres only a small percent that have strange fetishes like that, but they are still out there and tend to ruin the image of the majority.
Nightwolf11210 That does tend to happen.
Con O'Neill If you are talking about sexual attraction, then that would be a very private matter. These aren't things that people would be open about or get strangers involved in. But as for attraction attraction then most of them yes, but the same goes for many non-furries. If you're a dog or cat lover for example you basically have an attraction to those animals. Affinity is a better word to use for that though, look it up.
They don't even look anything alike
Con O'Neill bestiality
Finally, a video about furries that isn't really biased and stereotypical!
So I'm confused here do Furries want to be Animals or Fuck Animals or do they just want to make crappy fanart and costumes for the rest of there lives.
Everyone has their own type of furry in my opinion, some sure do want to fuck animals but the majority are far from that.
***** So being a Furry is a Fetish Thing?
***** Stop lying to these people. Furryism IS a fetish. Well, true Furries have the fetish, I mean. All the others are just into art or costumes. But don't get me wrong. To an non-Furry reading this comment, this does not mean Furries want to fuck animals. No, there is such a thing called sexual attraction to Anthropomorphic Animals, which is heavily tied to Furryism. People need to realize that sex isn't a bad thing, infact it's a very good thing. It has ensured our survival as a species for many, many years. It's sad to say that the media has brainwashed kids into thinking that sex is a bad thing to even talk about. So yes, if anyone's wondering, the Furry Fandom IS about sex, quite a large part of it, infact. Way more than most other Furries say so, because they're afraid non-Furries will demean them for being sex addicts. Well too bad, you chose this Fandom so you deal with the negatives.
Thallanar Rabidtooth You can see it that way if you want, I'm fine in putting my hands up and saying yes some do have some sort of sexuality with anthropomorphic characters but you have to face it as well as us that, we aren't all like that.
You cannot judge on a community upon one individual.
***** I agree, not all Furries are like that, but I was just a little frustrated to see some Furries completely DENY that there's a sexual aspect at all. I believe it's best for non-Furries to know the truth about our Fandom, instead of being fed a lie,.
us furries will stick together forever we get maid fun of on a daily basis iv Ben a furry for 2 years eny body that's being maid fun of just know if they have time to make fun of you clearly they have nothing good going for them in life #furry for life
English please
Did you type that with your face
Jerome Johnson ever heard of a constructive arguemant?
I agree
Still find them disgusting, at least you tried to make this look like a "deep documentary".
I'm a girl. I don't feel the need to rub myself to japanese cartoons. And you should really quit projecting yourself onto others so hard.
Sae Hiro What is so "disgusting" about them? They're just one of many fandoms that exist. All of which are diverse. Jumping to conclusions or making assumptions about them is just silly. My interactions with the furry fandom were a lot more positive. I don't know where/how you interacted with them, but obviously you were in the wrong kind of place.
k
Mhm. Wouldn't want to strain the ol' comprehension.
You'd rather feel the strain of fucking furries, I see.
Thank you for making this documentary. You just exposed America to the world :)
Some of the comments are very nice. And it's good to see you understand. Most furries are bullied but some people are super nice. I never thought I would say this to a non furry. Thank you
Furries terrify me.
Explain why.
Autism
Ethan Jorge Autism is not a valid answer.
Aspergers
Ethan Jorge Not a valid answer.
If you want to "escape reality" do something normal like listen to music, or play video games, or watch movies! Don't dress up as oversized animal freaks and draw attention.
But the weirdest stuff is always the most fun stuff.......usually.
+John Hanx idk why people bash on furries so much. Imo a fat man wearing a red suit and sneaks into our houses is a more terrifying figure head if you think about it.
But no one thinks anything bad of jolly ol' santa clause.
He knows if you've been bad or good.. so be good for goodness sakes.
+John Hanx Maybe they do it because they want... I found out about furries a week ago and to be honest, it creeped me out a bit, but then I realize hey! If they're happy with that... it's okay. why should they do what's "normal" instead?
+Lorrelle I'm gonna assume you're not a complete idiot that little "charity" thing they claim they do is no more than an excuse to be freaks.
+grumpychris no not at all
absolutley disgusting
As someone who knows close to nothing about furries, this is a very interesting and educational
I have never been a furry myself, but I fell in with the MLP crowd a few months back, and I think it's helped me become a more open-minded person. I admit, I still find the fursuits to be kinda creepy, and I couldn't see myself going to a convention of theirs, but the artistic and spiritual aspects of the fandom that were mentioned in the beginning of the video make a lot of sense to me. If these guys are simply doing what makes them happy, then more power to them.
We are doomed as a society
mike johnson Depends on your reason why
With people that are opposed to people being against others having hobbies that you find strange... yeah
Furries are pretty much what I would have expected, actually. Fat, socially awkward, intensely nerdy, physically unpleasant people who probably have a really hard time in real life due to their appearance and lack of social skills.
I mean let's be real, you don't turn to an obsession with cartoon animals because everything is going really great for you IRL.
LOL
couldn't have put it better myself
S0lidSpy24 welp atleast he wasn't drawing realistic human anatomy wolfs in bikinis.
that kind off drags them off from generic furry.
And that's bad? Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that in this society it's bad to be fat or awkward or different. Because everyone has to be the same, cookie cutter cut-out as everyone else. And btw, I am a furry, and I'm in great shape and plenty others are too. It doesn't even matter if we are or not. It's people like you that make the world an awful, shitty place. I am doing nothing to hurt you or anyone else by being a furry. Grow up.
So true XD
OHOHO you so pep care about it.
I honestly dont give a shit about furrys XD
They didn''t efefect my life anyways.
Oh and taking something serious on INTERNET is just stupid.
Nope nope I'm not watching this anymore pass me the bleach
^ assuming this is a furry
***** because
***** thanks
+Johnnie G You're welcome.
Make Me A Fatality To Kill Myself
Got into the furry fandom about a few months ago & still designing my character, 21 & loving every minute of it
6:25 Loki from Marvel is a furry.
This is too cringe. I can't watch this.
Then don't.
Then why you watch it? lol
Guys.....This is what autism does to you...
Autism doesn't cause furries
are you kidding me ? xD
***** thats about the same as all people
coincidence? nope
***** Why would they even use a disability as an insult.
You guys think that you are some form of mythical creature or animal. That itself is a mental disability right there
Furries are people that want to fuck animals, is that normal? i think not
you are a moron that judges people you know nothing about, is that normal! sadly it is theses days!
no we don't want to have sex with animals. that is like saying even little kid that watches looney toons, tony the tiger or the Trix rabbit really wants to do them.
Mike Newbold to me it sounds like "fucking" is all you ever think about. so who is the real perv! you can sit here and make up your false and dirty nonsense if you want. but while you sit at home making everything around you all about sex. us furries will be out having fun in a lighthearted and care free way.
theduke ofweasels come on though mate, furries are social outcasts, often unable to form meaningful relationships and more often than not are autistic. It is a weird thing to be into you must admit that.
Mike Newbold
it is an unusual hobby but we are not autistic or social outcasts. there are lots of normal people that just like art and dressing like the characters they create as a weekend hobby.
Mike Newbold It's not mental illness, its mental defect. Illnesses, mostly can be cured or treated. retards stay the same.
Can someone help me out? i can't find the video of the music in the description.
This is a very nice documentary. I found it on Vimeo. Unfortunately, people don't know how to get along and accept what they think is strange to them. No one is safe from the ignorance that the uneducated put out into the world. People are into different things, but many can't understand that. I feel sorry for both the persecutors and the persecuted. I'm sure one day the ignorant will come to enlightenment and realize the error of their biased ways. Furry pride from Tangent! Full support! Come at me scrublords I'm ripped!
Looking back at this video now after all these years, yah i see what got me into this fandom.
Guys. . guys. You all need to watch this video.
Don't get misinformed by the media & stereotypes.
Not entirely. I, being a furry, have had some of my friends in the furry fandom actually convert over to being a brony after having a group of furries that had a high popularity and abuse it (sometimes referred to as "popufurs" or elitist furries) had given him a lot of grief for changing his fursona completely. Some bronies are actually converted furries who left because they assumed most of the fandom was like that, which they're not.
This is a legitimate concern voiced by many including yourself, and I agree. The only female interviewee I had lined up ended up having to cancel last minute. The interviews were otherwise not pre-arranged. It was pure convenience sampling in a very narrow window of time. If I could re-do this documentary, or if I created another, the interviewees would be deliberately more diverse.
I searched this after people with strange RUclips names showed up and I'm much more informed now. I actually quite like some of the art, and there are cool animations from Tirrel which I like. Don't want to wear a suit or be an animal or anything but respect the subculture.
