Fun fact Abdl isn’t roleplaying as babies that’s ageplay please get you’re facts right Abdl has the word ADULT in it there basically adults that love diapers and wear baby clothes and yes it can be kinky but it’s also comforting for some. Or both. But there’s also something called littlespace as to we’re it’s completely sfw. Also Khord kitty has been booed on stage when the convention let him in to dance a lot of furries booed bc he sucks.
@@FFI.16 yet you’re still an adult imagine dressing like an school girl does it make u a pedo? Or a cat girl or wearing those weird animal butt plugs as a kink and saying woof or meow to act hot during the act does it make you a zoo? You know what I’m saying. I know a lot about Abdl bc I used to be into it thinking it was completely sfw but it’s not and it has adult aspects. I am into littlespace more since it’s completely sfw. ( I could be misunderstanding u but it just seems like you’re calling ppl who have that kink a pedo when some of my little friends have that interest but they aren’t creeps there are only sadly some that are weird but Abdl is known to be 18+ only
@@FFI.16 that’s totally understandable it is very weird I agree I think Abdl is fine as long as it’s behind closed doors. I’d only find it borderline pedo if they were age playing Wich is when you actually revert to a different age and you’re sexual with it Wich is not what Abdl is.
I joined this fandom at a young age cuz of its bright and colorful nature, but I got exposed to really bad stuff at a young age and it honestly ruined me. And these types of issues are STILL a thing today. It’s really disappointing
I'm with you on that, I became a furry when I was about 8-9ish and golly the horror of the internet has scarred my brain. I joined it with wholesome purposes, I stay for wholesome purposes. Not just the furry community, but the internet as a whole has ruined me. I could see some dark shit and not be phased at this point. I'm grateful I didn't get groomed.
Same thing happened to me and I was 13. I'm still a furry, but I'm actually one of the few normal ones, and I agree with everything he's saying in this video
I'm actually happy that problems within the fandom have been more openly discussed in recent months. Hiding this stuff and pretending everything is okay really doesn't help our reputation and leaves more minors vulnerable.
I actually knew Growly irl. I didn’t know they were what they were when I first met them. Just thought they were a typical common Socal fur. One day I went to the local bar furmeet that he often attended and noticed he wasn’t there. I asked one of my friends who knew him where he was and they just straight up said he was in jail. He also told me that he had defended him for a long time but after that one time, he was not the same toward him. Needless to say I also don’t trust him either. I’m thankful I don’t have to see his gross fursuit head anymore because I moved out of SoCal.
@@PonyCraftmaybe you should think about why so many people in your community are fine with it. You don’t need to be fucking Sherlock Holmes for this one champ
i know this was stated in the video, but it is ALWAYS important to remember that these individuals are NOT tolerated or accepted in the fandom, and that the large majority of the fandom is not like this.
As a member of the community, I can attest, that the fandom draws in some of the worst people. Not to say that everyone within the fandom is horrible, or that even a large number of them are. Just that a lot of my interactions within the fandom have not all been positive. The worst thing I've found when it comes to the fandom, is that most of the fandom, if not all of them, including myself, suffer from some form or fashion of mental degradation. I don't say mental illness because not all mental problems are an illness. However within the fandom, I don't know of anyone that I've spoken to that hasn't at least had depression. The issue with this, is that most of the people in the fandom are very friendly, reach out to others, and try to be kind and help with these mental problems. However they often times lead people down this road of believing that their mental problems, are perfectly ok. It's like the blind leading the blind in a way. A bunch of individuals with a lot of problems all going around trying to either help each other with their mental problems, or just trying to facilitate and appease their own mental problems. A person with depression, can't exactly help someone else with depression get over their depression. However someone with depression can use other people to get something they want so they don't feel as depressed. The issue arises more when people start to use peoples mental problems to their own benefit. Manipulation and Narcissism, is one of the worst problems you'll find with almost any person, regardless of where you meet them. It's extremely prevalent in the furry community, and if you're not careful you're going to run into someone like this. It's actually one of the reasons I became a furry in the first place. I was manipulated in a lot of ways to go towards the fandom. Much like with anything, it wasn't something I had a lot of interest or desire in. However, through manipulations of friendships, feeling like I had a place to belong, and of course connections I made with other people, I fell in love with the fandom. This wasn't necessarily done out of malice, or even by intent. However much like with anything in life, enough peer pressure and a promise of something better, can make you do a lot of things you might not like. The baseline of the fandom seems harmless, it's just a bunch of people who connect in someway to an animal, and like to express a little animalistic behavior from time to time. Unfortunately that's not all the furry fandom is, and anyone that claims it's not about sexual expression in someway shape or form, is lying to you, or lying to themselves. Though there are plenty I'd say that do stay away from the sexual part of the fandom, most do not, and even those that do avoid it, come into contact with it on a frequent bases, and they know it. The fandom is not healthy, in anyway shape or form, there is no question about that. However, in a world of acceptance, and everyone can be whoever they want, most don't see the underlining issues that come from the fandom. More so, they don't see the damage that the fandom does to people, and even worse they try to deny its existence instead of addressing it directly. The fandom has been a fun and enjoyable thing for me to be a part of. However it has also drawn me into dark places I should never have gone. It has taken years, and I mean YEARS, to recover from the damage that was done by the fandom, damage I allowed to happen because I just wanted to have a place I felt like I belonged. Damage I'm still recovering from. Still though, I've made good friends, and found things I really enjoy through the fandom, I was just never warned about the extremely high number of people there that will do all they can to take advantage of you, or worse.
That's a very interesting analysis. I will admit it does look neat, though I kind of watch from a distance as I'm a bit old for such things, and it's impossible to take vacations from my work. I also need all the hours I can get just for living expenses. I dunno, maybe it's my own mental issues that beacon me. Although many of my supervisors and co-workers have negative opinions of furries and the like. I'm sometimes warned to stop daydreaming and not to let the internet sweep me up in it's weirdness. Although one can't help but wonder about life beyond the time clock.
@@Chip_Doubledip I appreciate the comment, and all i can really say, is that the fandom does not require you to go to a con, or do something similar to be a part of it. My main connection to the fandom was through several online programs, and an art site that is very popular within the fandom. I never once stepped foot into a con, nor ever will. Now, i do speak in absolutes in this, but as you can guess, this is a theory based on gathered anecdotal evidence. So it's unclear if what I say here is true for all situations, though i can attest it's my truth. If there was anything i learned about the fandom, and i still need to fix for myself, is that putting yourself out there isn't bad, getting out there and doing something you like isn't bad. However, you need to be careful about who you're doing these things with, and be mindful of how the things you're doing may affect other people, and not just yourself. If you're older, than you likely already got that figured out.
This was really insightful. Reading it confirmed some things for me too. I used to draw SFW art for the community but I had to stop because it was negatively affecting my mental health to have to re-assert my boundaries to furrys that were trying to pressure me to draw NSFW art. I just don’t trust the fandom anymore. And these stories of creepy people have made it very clear to me that I have to be extra careful, should I ever decide to do commissions again.
Unfortunately, there is no way to deal with them. We can call out their behaviors which we do, and Potentially get some of them banned for the cons with enough evidence, IF said evidence is found reliable, however there’s no way to permanently shun and rid these individuals
@@FFI.16 growly is from san diego where I started going to meets, the group at large allowed him at family friendly meets with actual children, and no parents were warned lol. Its most furries contributing to the problem.
Disagree slightly - people making brash generalizatiopns, and the onus always being put on the people being generalized (not the ones generalizing),. which is a problem in a LOT of communities, hobbies, fandoms, etc, does that a lot, if not more than "those people." I mean, it takes people spreading a generalization for the image to spred, logically, therefore the ones generalizing either ignorantly, foolishly, or actually maliciously in extreme cases, needs to have some of the plame shouldered upon them too. Basically, by isolating things to a community, you ignore the people outside that contribute to a problem. (AGain, this is a problem, IMO, in a LOT of hobbies, fandoms, communities)
The nice part about the furry fandom is that if someone is outed for something disgusting, a new suit and new identity to "start over" (with irl meetings) is often off the table because of the general high cost of suits
What’s so crazy is that, when I first started watching furry videos aka Majra Strawberry. When I saw Glitch in one of his videos I had a weird feeling about him. The way he spoke and acted, the jokes he makes. He made so many sexual jokes it started to disgust me. I immediately didn’t like that guy. I’m not even surprised to be seeing what he did because honestly by the way he acted proves how disgusting he is and his disgusting acts.
Just reading it trigger my red flag alarm, it’s like people talking about kink in the public, I have nothing against it but some things should never be talk about in public
This is the type of stuff furry haters look for to have a reason to hate against furries. While these people have done AWFUL things that NOBODY in the fandom condones, this doesn't represent the whole community. I think a lot of people don't realize that, or even worse, I think some people just don't want to realize that. It's insane how terrible people can be.
I'd also like to add that age regression and ADBL are two SEPARATE THINGS. Age regression is where someone, of any age, reverts to a younger state of mind as a coping mechanism for trauma, stress, etc. They may use items like sippy cups to help comfort them. ADBL is a fetish that involves adults and kinks. People often get the two mixed up, because age regression is COMPLETELY sfw. Minors and adults both use age regression to cope with things.
I’ve been in the fandom since 2017 mainly for bumping into a local fur meet purely by accident and thus made some fab friends since. But unfortunately like every other fandom the furry fandom has its vile and beyond dark side no thanks to the toxic and dangerous degenerates that should be barred from the fandom.
i don’t think people realize how distressing it can be for grooming victims to go through old chats to provide proof of abuse. that shouldn’t be the responsibility of the victim.
While it’s impossible to tell the exact percentage of these kinds of people in the furry fandom, it is important to remember that these kinds of people are in every community; thus not every furry is like this! Coming from a furry. Wait Glitch was a bad person?! Wtf? I was subscribed to him Wait HUH?
I disagree in that they absolutely don't help, but this unreasonably puts all the burden on both the "bad eggs," AND the "good eggs," and does nothing to put some of the blame where some of it absolutely belongs: on the ones making generalized statements carelessly, both inside AND outsie-looking-in, which doesn't help. Basically, both the people in a community, AND the people making generalizations (ESPECIALLY those who might do so maliciously, if present), need to be called out - notp one or the other, as they are both links in the chain (IMO).
@@science_bear I mean ... but since whether people consider themselves in a fandom or not is something others really can't control, that's an incredibly unrealistic expectation (as opposed to beong outed from specific groups, communities IRL and online, etc). It also doesn't change that those on the outside looking in (or in the inside looking out) are capable of throwing shade at the bad without shitting on the good (and, when expressing opinions on the bad I'd say they are obligated to take care to be concise with their message).
@@DanknDerpyGamer it'd be more feasible of an option if we weren't passive about these people who want us attacked, in jail, or dead for not being attracted to the opposite sex. For example there's a furry raider in the comments who's likely to become another Travis Ikeguchi or Anderson Aldrich, he had art made of his fursona destroying a gay pride flag. Also the ones on the outside, the straights and bis and pans, are in agreement with the raiders. They hate people like you and me for not being more like the raiders. Why do you think the anti fur flag is nearly identical to the furry raider flag? THEY'RE ON THE SAME TEAM DUDE. They have no problem using chlorine gas on us for example (MFF). We can't just sit by while they destroy us both from the outside and inside.
Honestly, Im not a gay person for saying this that gonna be laughed at and called a nerd by "sigma" people, but furrys aren't bad, like you cant even dress up as a dog for halloween these days because of everyone hating furrys, there not bad, its just the zoophiles are bad, furrys are actually ok its just zoophiles, which came in and ruined it with it not being the furry community's fault kinda like pedophiles and LGBTQ, where the case is it's not the community's fault, but a person who takes the communitie's limits too far since some people don't like being touched badly which is who they are, But some right-wing people and 9 year olds on YT shorts who call themselves "sigma" come in and blame it on the whole community and cult themselves into thinking "oh I don't respect lgbtq" or "oh I don't respect furrys" when it's not the community's fault, its actually even sometimes even the "sigma"s fault just for poking fun of them for no reason what-so-ever.
growly is the reason i stopped going to blfc, and stepped away from the fandom. He does still go to that con from what a couple friends of mine told me that have gone recently.
bro ngl the intro goes hard felt like an early 2000s horror movie starting with a banger song and a voice over. A Dark pit of hell waits for most if not all of these individuals. Don't keep the devil waiting. *just clarifying I don't mean furries i just mean those specific people*
I feel very sorry for this community. As a furry, it's very hard to trust anyone in the crowd. It doesn't make it better when we're given death threats and being the butt of the joke, not to mention, some furries are the REAL problem in the community. As a person who uses fursuits and 'sona(s) as a comfort hobby, it disappoints me that I can't find anyone like myself. I wish people used this community correctly, as a happy place that is accepting of all; instead of using it for evil and terrible crimes. These people are needles in a haystack, you never know who's who until it's too late, usually becoming one of their victims or worse..
@@CumGoblin4000 How am I someone that I hate because I'm apart of a community? That's basically saying all people who watch children's shows are pedophiles. Which isn't true. Only a SELECT FEW furries are degenerates, and you wouldn't know because you don't do any type of background check, you just go straight to being a hater because you can't find happiness yourself.
hello. im posting on behalf of a friend. glitch goes by "v for Vienna" now and just came out with an ep. it's a shame he still has a platform considering all the messed up things he's done. i found out more from different telegram chats and the most recent furpoc. he has a pattern of taking money, sending nudes, going after minors, and being overall a terrible person lol. everyone stay safe. he tried getting with my friend at furpoc but luckily we had her back
Wow it’s so unfortunate that these evil creeps actually think that taking advantage of defenseless people and animals in horrible ways is normal. It’s not normal it’s absurd sick behavior. And sad because it puts an unfortunate reputation on a group of people that has mostly good people in it.
I like animal characters as much as the next person, but I don't understand what there really is to do in the furry fandom that doesn't involve sexual or narcissistic behavior. It literally started out with people doing roleplay online, which isn't a great start for a fandom that claims to be "not a fetish". It doesn't seem like there's much to do at furry conventions other than try to show off your character, buy merch of other people's characters you probably don't care about, or attend the "afterparties" to risk catching a disease. Despite the claim that the fandom is not a fetish, it has produced little to no popular media that is not sexual, and instead most of the things I see actively promote sexualizing anthro characters. In retrospect I feel like it's a claim designed to lure people who don't know any better. I'm sure there are pockets of normal people in the fandom, but it is nearly impossible at this point to be a furry without running into one of these people online.
I dunno… make masks and stuff sounds pretty non-sexual to me. But I’m not too deep into this fandom. Also I don’t think it’s narcissistic to show people what you’ve made and as for buying merch, how are they gonna make money (other than a job)? I don’t think the fandom is a fetish, but idk I only watch like one or two fursuiters
Will forever be against you all. Non Binary people and Furries, and people pretending to be trans. You're all actively degrading multiple communities with your identity and whatever you feel mentality. You cannot ignore your roots. Same reason trans women are getting hate now a days, because the kids of today deem trans as offensive, so they claim they're women. Doing the exact same thing they are. By claiming furries aren't like this. They are ALL like this. And WILL be like this, because its human nature to want to connect with people with similar interests. The line disappears when offence comes into play. And that's where we fail.
I’m a furry, and want to make friends in the fandom, but at the same time it’s so hard. I have trust issues as is, and the fact that so many of these nasty people wriggle their way in scares me. I don’t want to be exposed to that shit in the slightest. That’s why I stick with having one or two furry friends at a minimum
there definitely seems to be a strong correlation between people having a very unimpressive physical form whether it be their looks or body and its a coping mechanism to feel better about oneself. very rare to see an attractive person thats into it from what i can tell. im sure they exist but few and far between
I've been to 2 furry cons, and both of them had these lewd after hours sex parties. Just about all the furries attended. I did not want to be there but both times my friend was my ride home. I was literally in a room with like 4 or 5 furries going at it on the bed, while a few others ate pizza and played smash bros. It was at that moment I realized when they say " we are a fandom not a fetish" but the way I see it, they're a Fetish trying to pass as a fandom. I never went to another fur con nor talked to my friend again. I just didn't want to be involved with that anymore.
Did you go to an 18+ con?? all the cons I have been to have had room parties but nothing insane like that , I'd like to set the record straight and say that a high HIGH majority of us don't do anything like that and see those who do that as pretty damn weird. We are a fandom not a fetish please don't let some freaky encounters like that taint your veiw on the entire fandom as it's a huge group of people and obviously not everyone will be like that.
Thank you for covering Growly. I saw at Furry Weekend Atlanta in 2019 while waiting for a group photo shoot with my friends. While waiting he came up to us and started asking really weird questions to two kids who were in the group right behind us. It was only after that interaction that I found out he was a convicted pedophile. Soon after I heard from a very good friend that he had been banned from the convention. Good riddance.
@DPH_Psychosis - Agreed. Minors should *NOT* be associated with the furry community in any way, shape, or form. Despite what some furries claim, it is very much an *ADULT-ORIENTED* community.
It was really nice of you to specify thats not how the entire fandom is like it makes me think that there is still good people out keep up the amazing work ffi
Hello! I am not in the community, but rather a father of a child who is fur-curious (I don't know if that's a real word). I don't want to shut anything she's interested in without a good reason. Thanks for all the info. This won't be the only video I watch but it's one of the forst that came up. Knowing what I know, I am hopeful the younger generation can help change any problems within your community if we empower them with the right tools. Anyway, best wishes to all of you out there.
Someone tried to convince me that Glitch didnt do shit when I tried to bring it to their attention because they were friends with him, I didnt believe him one bit when he said Glitch was innocent but couldnt say anything because Glitch was a popular furry at the time. (Not all furries are like this, most believe the allegations)
I briefly had contact with Growly. I don't remember exactly when because of how long ago it was, but I remember when I began hearing of his little "escapades" I noped harder than I ever had on anyone before OR SINCE!
One time, i saw a public fursuit in walmart, and i freaked out. Most of a furry community supports lgptq but where i live we have a LOT of people on a right and im guessing they either dont know what a furry is or they just think its weird. i believe it was a blue wolf or dog, and it was a really cute fursuit. I literally freaked out, but of course, i wouldn't go over to them because-stranger. Plus, i am really anti-social. I believe i might never see a public fursuiter where i am. Theres also no furry cons near me so yeah- so yeah.
i personally knew a minor who was abused by glitch. I saw the callout post he made, and then shortly after he deleted them and said "i made it all up leave glitch alone i'm sorry" and deleted his account. the kid wa like 14/15. i hope he's okay now and has gotten therapy
As a person who is a minor and who is in the community and knowing people like this exist in the community is really making me want to end it all because I don't want to be in the world where people are like that who is in the furry community
That’s quite the extreme reaction for something that can be avoided, if you don’t like the people in the community just leave the community for your own safety
@@FFI.16 well maybe I do that but I like the community but I just wish the community is not problematic and that's why it's so many people think we are weird because those kind of people in the furry community
Ima give you some old man knowledge people will always think the furry community is weird because they dress up like animals not because of the bad people in it although they don’t help lol. Ain’t nothing gonna change about that you just gotta deal with it if you wish to still be apart of the community
I’m very glad you exposed these disgusting furry RUclipsrs/furrys, as a young furry in the community I think it’s absolutely disgusting and obnoxious what some people do with the fandom. No wonder so many people think the furry community is disgusting, because some of the community is truly disturbing and disgusting. #antizoo #antipedo #stopzoophillia #stopanimalabuse
Why in the hell would they give the dog back to him for just 800$? Hypocrisy is a terrible disease If it was me, I would not give the dog back even if you offered me a million dollars
As a non furry but someone who had been around furries not all furries are like the ones in video but can't blame ppl who think that given the amount of issues and problems that go on in the fandom combined with how unlike let's say a fandom that is based around a show the way the furry fandom works is more open then most : /
One of the worst fandoms I had ever had the displeasure of dealing with. I was a part of the Los Angeles California furry group, and used to go to the meetup events it was fun at first but after a few months I started disliking and got annoyed by all the sexual stuff, then I heard about this furry named Growly who got banned for being a pedophile and the list goes on about the bad stuff in the fandom. Everything about the group is disturbing and disgusting. I sold my cheap partial fursuit for $400 and left the group never looking back. I advise everyone who is thinking about joining, don't do it unless you're a sick-in-the-head individual.
Come on man. You were a furry, so you should know that this isn't what the furry fandom as a whole is like. Ive been in the community for almost 2 1/2 years and I just find normal people living normal lives having fun and being creative. While there is some sexual stuff, you can find people like that in any community. You obviously became associated with some bad people which shaped your view in a negative way, but there are so many good people and you shouldn't classify us as "sick-in-the-head"
I am a furry, and most of the community isn’t like this. But, thank you for explaining that some ppl are and that you shouldn’t trust everyone or everything you hear or see
I think it's more like 15-30% (avg%-most%), since there are MANY furried over the world, but this creep problem seems very... American, so to speak. Find a furry creep from Ukraine, Estonia, Finland or russia, for example. All four have conventions, all four have donestic fursuit makers and all four generally don't feature furries in political and social discussion (with the exception of russia, where deputies are making a second attempt at banning furries).
This video reminds me of a guy that went by Aloha Wolf. As far as I am aware he never was with a guy who was under age but he would look for and sleep with MANY guys on their 18th birthday. So he would have to have be in contact with them before turning 18 in planing on sleeping with them once they turned 18..
I BETTER not be the only one who recognized Remote Kontrols routine completely plagiarized by khord kitty. I literally recognized all of the moves and he just stole their routine. This pisses me off so much for some reason
The first time I figured out what a furry was is when I was like 10. I was playing vrchat and I saw this guy wearing a wolf furry costume and so I thought it was really cool cause I was ten and I loved animals (still do btw) so I put on the avatar and I was walking around minding my own business and this guy came up to me and asked why was I wearing a fur suit avatar and I didn’t know what he was talking about so I just said cause it looked cool and then my older brother wanted to play some so I gave him the headset he saw the avatar and asked if I was a furry so then I asked what that was and then he explained it to me and now I’ve never thouched a furry suit avatar again the end. Ps. It’s stupid how we can’t even like dress up as a animal just because we like animals without being accused of being a furry or whatever. I’m not trying to hate or anything I’m not apart of there community but I respect them for just being who they are. Ps to later ps😂. Reply to this comment cause I want to read your stories on how you first found out what a furry is

As a furry myself the way I see it there are bad apples in ALL communities and fandoms whether religion, lgbt etc. I think it's not to base an entire community on a handful of said bad apple. There are allot of good things we do like raising money for local animal charities.
That Video makes a lot of sense. From Zoophiles and Pedophiles to Murder to Harassment to Prison to fights I'm Not going to the Path that leads to evil. That behavior needs to stop, and people need to be held accountable and change their ways. Like Here's a story of myself on my dark side On Men's Mental Health Awareness Month. I was telling the truth of what I've done wrong and I take full responcibility and Accountability for it. I crossed Nala_Elephant's Boundaries and been on her AD account and she blocked me on both accounts, I harassed lunesonthemoon for free art by doing the DTIYS, And I dumped personal information when we weren't close friends. On Thursday Feb 1, I was ready to sleep, I had to tell the truth to mom of what I was hiding. She was not mad or disappointed. She was sorry that I had to go through such horrible things. She gave me some friendly advice to overcome it and to not do the same things that I did in the past. I'm being humbled in a good way by my mother and I'm learning from my actions. I'm going to the bright side of my life and not the dark side. Please Pray for me for I will change to a better person
i believe this is why the furry fandom needs to change or rebrand itself as people like these are all too easily hurting the fandom and others in it. As a furry this is appalling
Pretty much true. Even as furries, we should realize there is a problem, and not just keep silent about it, making it worse. It's really better to call them out and make them outcasts in the fandom than just keep pretending that everything is okay in some misguided attempt to "save the fandom's reputation".
I agree with most of this, I'm not caught up on the Abdl drama, but I will say I don't fully believe in the Gl1tch predation drama. The evidence used against him was very lackluster and had an uncomfortable amount of holes, as well as quite a few trusted furs backing him up, and the whole issue surrounding him had pretty much completely dropped unlike most other known predatory furs who are never let go because of their actions. The whole situation behind Gl1tch seems like it could be another situation where evidence was gathered through distrustful and twisted ways to form a case against someone that someone wanted to hate, and that it could really just be a gamble between them being an actual predatory fur or just another fur being torn apart because they pissed off the wrong person. I do believe Oliver actually did do some horrid stuff though, and I don't believe Gl1tch was aware of the truth behind any of it, and considering that if the situation of Gl1tch being innocent is actually true, would be reasonable for gl1tch to assume Oliver was also innocent as they were attacked as a duo rather than individually
Couple of corrections/updates for you: 1. The minor Gabe groomed is a FtM Trans Man. 2. They didn't come forward on their own, the Facebook logs were leaked 1st. It was only in December 2022 that they would finally speak out publicly against Gabe. Gabe would then proceed to scream at them over a livestream stating that he was the real victim, not them. 3. Gabe and Growly are still friends and regularly hang out at private house parties hosted by a mutual friend 4. Gabe let Growly hold his son at a furcon and also tried to stay in the same room as him despite knowing that Growly was a registered sex offender 5. Growly is still active on Twitter and Telegram
I feel like every fandom has a unspoken darkside and each community wants to ignore those things and just enjoy lightside because it's not part of that fandom that it was founded in the beginning. Also I'm not part of furry community but I believe its just certain amount people that are like this not everyone in the community joins for the wrong reasons its to be happy
you forgot varka the one who is the founder of many furry things like the e621 site and bad dragon. That is one who only little furrys now about who is dangerous. That person was the reason why i thought that the furry community is beyond saving. I think the furry community needs to be louder when there are shit happening. Espacially with furry cons and their "secret" zoo meetings. I wish the furry community happyness and less problems with such people.
Also . After a few really bad things happening to people being called out for certain stuff being absolutely manufactured claims only to destroy their lifes ..it's really dangerous to post anything cause you can't be 100% sure if it's true . ( Talking about "person X has done X" videos )
Yall also watch out to crusader cat, Kero the wolf, Mr.Teriyaki and AcidRainCloud. There all also creeps and shouldnt be able to go to conventions but they get in anyways so 🤷
@@FFI.16 thats why I wont go to a convention until im 18 or older bc i fear being harassed by grown adults. Its sad that within such a welcoming cozy community hides such awful people😞
Glitch made Furry_IRL meme reaction videos and he has/had his own Discord server which I joined months ago back on my old Discord account, from what I recall it was dead.
I understand needing smth for the background while ur talking abt stuff, but is it really the most appropriate thing to use clips of completely innocent furs in suit while talking abt these people? like it almost feels incriminating to see yourself or others being shown off while someone talks abt Horrible Things another furry has done.
I left the furry community. One stupid jerk spread lies about me and turned so many people against me to the point where I had to take down a lot of online accounts and even go offline for a while. I walked out of the furry community. 👨🚒 “I’ve had it up to heeerrreee, with the likes of you people!”
Fun fact Abdl isn’t roleplaying as babies that’s ageplay please get you’re facts right Abdl has the word ADULT in it there basically adults that love diapers and wear baby clothes and yes it can be kinky but it’s also comforting for some. Or both. But there’s also something called littlespace as to we’re it’s completely sfw. Also Khord kitty has been booed on stage when the convention let him in to dance a lot of furries booed bc he sucks.
Your still dressing up like a baby it doesn’t matter if you say “goo goo ga ga” or not lol. And yeah people don’t like Khord Kitty
@@FFI.16 yet you’re still an adult imagine dressing like an school girl does it make u a pedo? Or a cat girl or wearing those weird animal butt plugs as a kink and saying woof or meow to act hot during the act does it make you a zoo? You know what I’m saying. I know a lot about Abdl bc I used to be into it thinking it was completely sfw but it’s not and it has adult aspects. I am into littlespace more since it’s completely sfw. ( I could be misunderstanding u but it just seems like you’re calling ppl who have that kink a pedo when some of my little friends have that interest but they aren’t creeps there are only sadly some that are weird but Abdl is known to be 18+ only

@@FFI.16 that’s totally understandable it is very weird I agree I think Abdl is fine as long as it’s behind closed doors. I’d only find it borderline pedo if they were age playing Wich is when you actually revert to a different age and you’re sexual with it Wich is not what Abdl is.
@@zerowolf4051 🤝 Agreed age play is borderline pedo
I joined this fandom at a young age cuz of its bright and colorful nature, but I got exposed to really bad stuff at a young age and it honestly ruined me. And these types of issues are STILL a thing today. It’s really disappointing
Very
I'm with you on that, I became a furry when I was about 8-9ish and golly the horror of the internet has scarred my brain. I joined it with wholesome purposes, I stay for wholesome purposes. Not just the furry community, but the internet as a whole has ruined me. I could see some dark shit and not be phased at this point. I'm grateful I didn't get groomed.
@@CallMeAshen 8-9 years old furries WTF
Same thing happened to me and I was 13. I'm still a furry, but I'm actually one of the few normal ones, and I agree with everything he's saying in this video
I had a similar experience as well. It's saddening how common it really is.
I'm actually happy that problems within the fandom have been more openly discussed in recent months. Hiding this stuff and pretending everything is okay really doesn't help our reputation and leaves more minors vulnerable.
Yes these people love minors, so we got to inform them who to look out for

I actually knew Growly irl. I didn’t know they were what they were when I first met them. Just thought they were a typical common Socal fur. One day I went to the local bar furmeet that he often attended and noticed he wasn’t there. I asked one of my friends who knew him where he was and they just straight up said he was in jail. He also told me that he had defended him for a long time but after that one time, he was not the same toward him. Needless to say I also don’t trust him either. I’m thankful I don’t have to see his gross fursuit head anymore because I moved out of SoCal.
That’s crazy that you met him

I could tell some INTERESTING stories from the Star Wars fandom When Episodes 1-3 were out!
@@infinitehexingtonspay
@@AmorpheousEBunny was there this much pedo**** in that fandom?
As a member of the community, I can attest, that the fandom draws in some of the worst people. Not to say that everyone within the fandom is horrible, or that even a large number of them are. Just that a lot of my interactions within the fandom have not all been positive.
The worst thing I've found when it comes to the fandom, is that most of the fandom, if not all of them, including myself, suffer from some form or fashion of mental degradation. I don't say mental illness because not all mental problems are an illness. However within the fandom, I don't know of anyone that I've spoken to that hasn't at least had depression. The issue with this, is that most of the people in the fandom are very friendly, reach out to others, and try to be kind and help with these mental problems. However they often times lead people down this road of believing that their mental problems, are perfectly ok.
It's like the blind leading the blind in a way. A bunch of individuals with a lot of problems all going around trying to either help each other with their mental problems, or just trying to facilitate and appease their own mental problems. A person with depression, can't exactly help someone else with depression get over their depression. However someone with depression can use other people to get something they want so they don't feel as depressed.
The issue arises more when people start to use peoples mental problems to their own benefit. Manipulation and Narcissism, is one of the worst problems you'll find with almost any person, regardless of where you meet them. It's extremely prevalent in the furry community, and if you're not careful you're going to run into someone like this.
It's actually one of the reasons I became a furry in the first place. I was manipulated in a lot of ways to go towards the fandom. Much like with anything, it wasn't something I had a lot of interest or desire in. However, through manipulations of friendships, feeling like I had a place to belong, and of course connections I made with other people, I fell in love with the fandom. This wasn't necessarily done out of malice, or even by intent. However much like with anything in life, enough peer pressure and a promise of something better, can make you do a lot of things you might not like.
The baseline of the fandom seems harmless, it's just a bunch of people who connect in someway to an animal, and like to express a little animalistic behavior from time to time. Unfortunately that's not all the furry fandom is, and anyone that claims it's not about sexual expression in someway shape or form, is lying to you, or lying to themselves. Though there are plenty I'd say that do stay away from the sexual part of the fandom, most do not, and even those that do avoid it, come into contact with it on a frequent bases, and they know it.
The fandom is not healthy, in anyway shape or form, there is no question about that. However, in a world of acceptance, and everyone can be whoever they want, most don't see the underlining issues that come from the fandom. More so, they don't see the damage that the fandom does to people, and even worse they try to deny its existence instead of addressing it directly.
The fandom has been a fun and enjoyable thing for me to be a part of. However it has also drawn me into dark places I should never have gone. It has taken years, and I mean YEARS, to recover from the damage that was done by the fandom, damage I allowed to happen because I just wanted to have a place I felt like I belonged. Damage I'm still recovering from. Still though, I've made good friends, and found things I really enjoy through the fandom, I was just never warned about the extremely high number of people there that will do all they can to take advantage of you, or worse.
That's a very interesting analysis. I will admit it does look neat, though I kind of watch from a distance as I'm a bit old for such things, and it's impossible to take vacations from my work. I also need all the hours I can get just for living expenses. I dunno, maybe it's my own mental issues that beacon me. Although many of my supervisors and co-workers have negative opinions of furries and the like. I'm sometimes warned to stop daydreaming and not to let the internet sweep me up in it's weirdness. Although one can't help but wonder about life beyond the time clock.
@@Chip_Doubledip I appreciate the comment, and all i can really say, is that the fandom does not require you to go to a con, or do something similar to be a part of it. My main connection to the fandom was through several online programs, and an art site that is very popular within the fandom. I never once stepped foot into a con, nor ever will. Now, i do speak in absolutes in this, but as you can guess, this is a theory based on gathered anecdotal evidence.
So it's unclear if what I say here is true for all situations, though i can attest it's my truth. If there was anything i learned about the fandom, and i still need to fix for myself, is that putting yourself out there isn't bad, getting out there and doing something you like isn't bad.
However, you need to be careful about who you're doing these things with, and be mindful of how the things you're doing may affect other people, and not just yourself. If you're older, than you likely already got that figured out.
I need you to write my scripts this was a good read
@@FFI.16 lol sorry it was so long, i can't help it, when i gota say something i gota say it lol
This was really insightful. Reading it confirmed some things for me too.
I used to draw SFW art for the community but I had to stop because it was negatively affecting my mental health to have to re-assert my boundaries to furrys that were trying to pressure me to draw NSFW art.
I just don’t trust the fandom anymore. And these stories of creepy people have made it very clear to me that I have to be extra careful, should I ever decide to do commissions again.
these people are the reasons why the furry fandom has such a bad rep. That and they wont deal with them..
Yes all three are currently in the fandom right now
@@FFI.16 disgusting.
Unfortunately, there is no way to deal with them. We can call out their behaviors which we do, and Potentially get some of them banned for the cons with enough evidence, IF said evidence is found reliable, however there’s no way to permanently shun and rid these individuals
@@FFI.16 growly is from san diego where I started going to meets, the group at large allowed him at family friendly meets with actual children, and no parents were warned lol. Its most furries contributing to the problem.
Disagree slightly - people making brash generalizatiopns, and the onus always being put on the people being generalized (not the ones generalizing),. which is a problem in a LOT of communities, hobbies, fandoms, etc, does that a lot, if not more than "those people." I mean, it takes people spreading a generalization for the image to spred, logically, therefore the ones generalizing either ignorantly, foolishly, or actually maliciously in extreme cases, needs to have some of the plame shouldered upon them too. Basically, by isolating things to a community, you ignore the people outside that contribute to a problem. (AGain, this is a problem, IMO, in a LOT of hobbies, fandoms, communities)
The nice part about the furry fandom is that if someone is outed for something disgusting, a new suit and new identity to "start over" (with irl meetings) is often off the table because of the general high cost of suits
That still don’t stop some of them from returning
nice dutch username!
What’s so crazy is that, when I first started watching furry videos aka Majra Strawberry. When I saw Glitch in one of his videos I had a weird feeling about him. The way he spoke and acted, the jokes he makes. He made so many sexual jokes it started to disgust me. I immediately didn’t like that guy. I’m not even surprised to be seeing what he did because honestly by the way he acted proves how disgusting he is and his disgusting acts.
Got a 6th sense for weirdos
Just reading it trigger my red flag alarm, it’s like people talking about kink in the public, I have nothing against it but some things should never be talk about in public
Same. Weird gut feeling never went away...
This is the type of stuff furry haters look for to have a reason to hate against furries. While these people have done AWFUL things that NOBODY in the fandom condones, this doesn't represent the whole community. I think a lot of people don't realize that, or even worse, I think some people just don't want to realize that. It's insane how terrible people can be.
I'd also like to add that age regression and ADBL are two SEPARATE THINGS. Age regression is where someone, of any age, reverts to a younger state of mind as a coping mechanism for trauma, stress, etc. They may use items like sippy cups to help comfort them. ADBL is a fetish that involves adults and kinks. People often get the two mixed up, because age regression is COMPLETELY sfw. Minors and adults both use age regression to cope with things.
I'm glad you made a video about this stuff. Also, I made the fursuit featured at 3:09! I own and operate Pomeranian Fever Fursuits.
That’s nice
I’ve been in the fandom since 2017 mainly for bumping into a local fur meet purely by accident and thus made some fab friends since.

I disagree in that they absolutely don't help, but this unreasonably puts all the burden on both the "bad eggs," AND the "good eggs," and does nothing to put some of the blame where some of it absolutely belongs: on the ones making generalized statements carelessly, both inside AND outsie-looking-in, which doesn't help. Basically, both the people in a community, AND the people making generalizations (ESPECIALLY those who might do so maliciously, if present), need to be called out - notp one or the other, as they are both links in the chain (IMO).
@@DanknDerpyGamer if they bad eggs (people attracted to the opposite sex) weren't in the fandom like how it was originally then things would be ok.
@@science_bear I mean ... but since whether people consider themselves in a fandom or not is something others really can't control, that's an incredibly unrealistic expectation (as opposed to beong outed from specific groups, communities IRL and online, etc). It also doesn't change that those on the outside looking in (or in the inside looking out) are capable of throwing shade at the bad without shitting on the good (and, when expressing opinions on the bad I'd say they are obligated to take care to be concise with their message).
@@DanknDerpyGamer it'd be more feasible of an option if we weren't passive about these people who want us attacked, in jail, or dead for not being attracted to the opposite sex. For example there's a furry raider in the comments who's likely to become another Travis Ikeguchi or Anderson Aldrich, he had art made of his fursona destroying a gay pride flag.
Also the ones on the outside, the straights and bis and pans, are in agreement with the raiders. They hate people like you and me for not being more like the raiders. Why do you think the anti fur flag is nearly identical to the furry raider flag? THEY'RE ON THE SAME TEAM DUDE.
They have no problem using chlorine gas on us for example (MFF). We can't just sit by while they destroy us both from the outside and inside.

Honestly, Im not a gay person for saying this that gonna be laughed at and called a nerd by "sigma" people, but furrys aren't bad, like you cant even dress up as a dog for halloween these days because of everyone hating furrys, there not bad, its just the zoophiles are bad, furrys are actually ok its just zoophiles, which came in and ruined it with it not being the furry community's fault kinda like pedophiles and LGBTQ, where the case is it's not the community's fault, but a person who takes the communitie's limits too far since some people don't like being touched badly which is who they are, But some right-wing people and 9 year olds on YT shorts who call themselves "sigma" come in and blame it on the whole community and cult themselves into thinking "oh I don't respect lgbtq" or "oh I don't respect furrys" when it's not the community's fault, its actually even sometimes even the "sigma"s fault just for poking fun of them for no reason what-so-ever.

I feel very sorry for this community. As a furry, it's very hard to trust anyone in the crowd. It doesn't make it better when we're given death threats and being the butt of the joke, not to mention, some furries are the REAL problem in the community. As a person who uses fursuits and 'sona(s) as a comfort hobby, it disappoints me that I can't find anyone like myself. I wish people used this community correctly, as a happy place that is accepting of all; instead of using it for evil and terrible crimes. These people are needles in a haystack, you never know who's who until it's too late, usually becoming one of their victims or worse..

Wow it’s so unfortunate that these evil creeps actually think that taking advantage of defenseless people and animals in horrible ways is normal. It’s not normal it’s absurd sick behavior. And sad because it puts an unfortunate reputation on a group of people that has mostly good people in it.

Poor doge :(
I like animal characters as much as the next person, but I don't understand what there really is to do in the furry fandom that doesn't involve sexual or narcissistic behavior. It literally started out with people doing roleplay online, which isn't a great start for a fandom that claims to be "not a fetish". It doesn't seem like there's much to do at furry conventions other than try to show off your character, buy merch of other people's characters you probably don't care about, or attend the "afterparties" to risk catching a disease. Despite the claim that the fandom is not a fetish, it has produced little to no popular media that is not sexual, and instead most of the things I see actively promote sexualizing anthro characters. In retrospect I feel like it's a claim designed to lure people who don't know any better. I'm sure there are pockets of normal people in the fandom, but it is nearly impossible at this point to be a furry without running into one of these people online.
It is exactly what you said. I wonder how long your comment will remain undeleted...
I dunno… make masks and stuff sounds pretty non-sexual to me. But I’m not too deep into this fandom. Also I don’t think it’s narcissistic to show people what you’ve made and as for buying merch, how are they gonna make money (other than a job)? I don’t think the fandom is a fetish, but idk I only watch like one or two fursuiters
Thanks for this, your really helping the good furries out with this. Keep going dude!
Will do
Furries originated in the BDSM gay fetish community, particularly in British Rave scenes. Don't join something you're not willing to represent.
Like.... let's rebrand the KKK. And say not all of them are racists. Or rebrand Koolaid and say not all of the packets are juice.
Will forever be against you all. Non Binary people and Furries, and people pretending to be trans. You're all actively degrading multiple communities with your identity and whatever you feel mentality.
You cannot ignore your roots.
Same reason trans women are getting hate now a days, because the kids of today deem trans as offensive, so they claim they're women.
Doing the exact same thing they are. By claiming furries aren't like this. They are ALL like this. And WILL be like this, because its human nature to want to connect with people with similar interests.
The line disappears when offence comes into play. And that's where we fail.

I've been to 2 furry cons, and both of them had these lewd after hours sex parties. Just about all the furries attended. I did not want to be there but both times my friend was my ride home. I was literally in a room with like 4 or 5 furries going at it on the bed, while a few others ate pizza and played smash bros. It was at that moment I realized when they say " we are a fandom not a fetish" but the way I see it, they're a Fetish trying to pass as a fandom. I never went to another fur con nor talked to my friend again. I just didn't want to be involved with that anymore.
I always heard about those things going down it’s crazy that they do
Did you go to an 18+ con?? all the cons I have been to have had room parties but nothing insane like that , I'd like to set the record straight and say that a high HIGH majority of us don't do anything like that and see those who do that as pretty damn weird.

Thank you for covering Growly. I saw at Furry Weekend Atlanta in 2019 while waiting for a group photo shoot with my friends. While waiting he came up to us and started asking really weird questions to two kids who were in the group right behind us. It was only after that interaction that I found out he was a convicted pedophile. Soon after I heard from a very good friend that he had been banned from the convention. Good riddance.
@DPH_Psychosis - Agreed. Minors should *NOT* be associated with the furry community in any way, shape, or form. Despite what some furries claim, it is very much an *ADULT-ORIENTED* community.
It was really nice of you to specify thats not how the entire fandom is like it makes me think that there is still good people out keep up the amazing work ffi

I briefly had contact with Growly. I don't remember exactly when because of how long ago it was, but I remember when I began hearing of his little "escapades" I noped harder than I ever had on anyone before OR SINCE!
Dodged a bullet
One time, i saw a public fursuit in walmart, and i freaked out.
Most of a furry community supports lgptq but where i live we have a LOT of people on a right and im guessing they either dont know what a furry is or they just think its weird. i believe it was a blue wolf or dog, and it was a really cute fursuit. I literally freaked out, but of course, i wouldn't go over to them because-stranger. Plus, i am really anti-social. I believe i might never see a public fursuiter where i am. Theres also no furry cons near me so yeah- so yeah.
I live in cali and never seen a furry
i wanna meet a fursuiter so baddd, the normal ones are so sweet and so fluffyyyysnsnhdj😞😞
@doagii2649 Same I only saw their suit I didn't speak with them
@doagii2649 Go to any festivals or fairs (ones that are big) I see a lot of them at those, especially ones that encourage dressing up in costume
i personally knew a minor who was abused by glitch. I saw the callout post he made, and then shortly after he deleted them and said "i made it all up leave glitch alone i'm sorry" and deleted his account. the kid wa like 14/15. i hope he's okay now and has gotten therapy
As a person who is a minor and who is in the community and knowing people like this exist in the community is really making me want to end it all because I don't want to be in the world where people are like that who is in the furry community
That’s quite the extreme reaction for something that can be avoided, if you don’t like the people in the community just leave the community for your own safety
@@FFI.16 well maybe I do that but I like the community but I just wish the community is not problematic and that's why it's so many people think we are weird because those kind of people in the furry community
Ima give you some old man knowledge people will always think the furry community is weird because they dress up like animals not because of the bad people in it although they don’t help lol. Ain’t nothing gonna change about that you just gotta deal with it if you wish to still be apart of the community
I’m very glad you exposed these disgusting furry RUclipsrs/furrys, as a young furry in the community I think it’s absolutely disgusting and obnoxious what some people do with the fandom. No wonder so many people think the furry community is disgusting, because some of the community is truly disturbing and disgusting. #antizoo #antipedo #stopzoophillia #stopanimalabuse
Some of these people are very disturbing
Bro I barely payed attention to the video cuz I got distracted from all the dancing furries in the background 💀
They just keep multiplying.
Brother get the flamer, the heavy flamer.
Only the bad furries. Hurt the good furries it won't be any better your just making a fool of yourself
Damn FFI, this video exploded in popularity quite fast!
Good job man
Yes we up right now
Why in the hell would they give the dog back to him for just 800$? Hypocrisy is a terrible disease
If it was me, I would not give the dog back even if you offered me a million dollars
As a non furry but someone who had been around furries not all furries are like the ones in video but can't blame ppl who think that given the amount of issues and problems that go on in the fandom combined with how unlike let's say a fandom that is based around a show the way the furry fandom works is more open then most : /
As a furry, these people make me sick
My guy plays cod music while talking creepy furry love to see it
Its fitting
@@FFI.16 lol
I couldnt be more happy that these examples are outliers that only make up a tiny fraction of the community.
One of the worst fandoms I had ever had the displeasure of dealing with. I was a part of the Los Angeles California furry group, and used to go to the meetup events it was fun at first but after a few months I started disliking and got annoyed by all the sexual stuff, then I heard about this furry named Growly who got banned for being a pedophile and the list goes on about the bad stuff in the fandom. Everything about the group is disturbing and disgusting. I sold my cheap partial fursuit for $400 and left the group never looking back. I advise everyone who is thinking about joining, don't do it unless you're a sick-in-the-head individual.
Come on man. You were a furry, so you should know that this isn't what the furry fandom as a whole is like. Ive been in the community for almost 2 1/2 years and I just find normal people living normal lives having fun and being creative. While there is some sexual stuff, you can find people like that in any community. You obviously became associated with some bad people which shaped your view in a negative way, but there are so many good people and you shouldn't classify us as "sick-in-the-head"
Somebody cooked here
Animals can’t consent 😐😭
Truth
I am a furry, and most of the community isn’t like this. But, thank you for explaining that some ppl are and that you shouldn’t trust everyone or everything you hear or see
I spread a good message
I think it's more like 15-30% (avg%-most%), since there are MANY furried over the world, but this creep problem seems very... American, so to speak. Find a furry creep from Ukraine, Estonia, Finland or russia, for example. All four have conventions, all four have donestic fursuit makers and all four generally don't feature furries in political and social discussion (with the exception of russia, where deputies are making a second attempt at banning furries).
This video reminds me of a guy that went by Aloha Wolf. As far as I am aware he never was with a guy who was under age but he would look for and sleep with MANY guys on their 18th birthday. So he would have to have be in contact with them before turning 18 in planing on sleeping with them once they turned 18..
Serial groomer
@@FFI.16 SERIAL GROOMER IS CRAZY 💀 IDK whether to laugh or get shocked with this comment lol,
From serial killers to serial groomers bruh wtf
I BETTER not be the only one who recognized Remote Kontrols routine completely plagiarized by khord kitty. I literally recognized all of the moves and he just stole their routine. This pisses me off so much for some reason
Bullshit. I freestyle.
@@KhordKitty gtf out we are not stupid
@@Skxnk_Hunt42 What furcon and what Remote Control video are we talking about?
finally ppl talking abt glitch more.
Yes
The furry fandom disappointment me starting in 2019 the fandom to doing something about all the sex abuse and rape problems😢😢😢
One of the most sexual fandoms that has ever existed lol
True
Bruh the anime community is just as bad no?
@@beamer8907 maybe
It’s definitely up there
@@morbrakai8533 maybe?? So sexualizing kid looking characters is not sexual and weird?
The first time I figured out what a furry was is when I was like 10. I was playing vrchat and I saw this guy wearing a wolf furry costume and so I thought it was really cool cause I was ten and I loved animals (still do btw) so I put on the avatar and I was walking around minding my own business and this guy came up to me and asked why was I wearing a fur suit avatar and I didn’t know what he was talking about so I just said cause it looked cool and then my older brother wanted to play some so I gave him the headset he saw the avatar and asked if I was a furry so then I asked what that was and then he explained it to me and now I’ve never thouched a furry suit avatar again the end.
Ps. It’s stupid how we can’t even like dress up as a animal just because we like animals without being accused of being a furry or whatever. I’m not trying to hate or anything I’m not apart of there community but I respect them for just being who they are.
Ps to later ps😂. Reply to this comment cause I want to read your stories on how you first found out what a furry is
To sum up the fandom: 80-90% mass sexualization on and pornography, that’s why I left the fandom
Spitting facts
@@FFI.16 Unironically gonna say the cringe gen Z slang: Based. Did you just agree? Bruh I thought you would defend their fandom, W
The worst part is when people say IT'S FEW. I seen people say that and it boils my head because that is legit the opposite, like 50% below or above, give or take, a high number of them end up being somewhat just weird or EDP levels or beyond of screwed up in the head
@@lucas096br4 walking around as a grown adult in a fur suit resembling a childrens cartoon character is already a clear indicator of being screwed up in the head in the first place.
"uhh uhh it was only a couple bad apples" almost every furry you ever meet except for the 1%:
Years ago, the house nextdoor was rented by some wiero couple. The guy that owned it is an OG Burner, but these renters were something else. Took me a couple years, but I found out it was because they were furries.
Look I am fine with the fictional furry shit and find some of the art pieces actually pretty hot but when someone decides to dress up as a Furry I think that is fucking weird.....
AYO!? You though you could just slip that one by me, but yeah putting on a fursuit is pretty weird
There's worse things you should be worrying about than fursuits 💀💀💀
@@FFI.16why is wearing a fursuit weird? Like yeah probably don’t do it in summer or outside of like a convention (mostly for the wearer’s safety) but I don’t see anything wrong with it unless it has any weird symbols that mean bad stuff on it
The Growly situation still makes me sick to my stomach because he was one of the first "friends" I made in the fandom over 15 years ago.
This guy must’ve been around cause you are not the first person to feel that way
@@FFI.16 Yeah. I got in the fandom in 2006, met him in person around 2009.
How is it possible that you didn’t mention Kero the Wolf?
To popular already
As a furry myself the way I see it there are bad apples in ALL communities and fandoms whether religion, lgbt etc. I think it's not to base an entire community on a handful of said bad apple. There are allot of good things we do like raising money for local animal charities.
Love these videos to educate people about the bad side of the furry community, Nice vid.
Thank you
@@FFI.16what percentage of the community do u thunk is zoophiles and predators?
Probably like 5 or 10%
@@TV119-f7i no one can say for sure. It might by slightly higher than in other communities just because the furry fandom is based around animals
@@FFI.16that sound about the normal % of most community’s
That Video makes a lot of sense.
From Zoophiles and Pedophiles to Murder to Harassment to Prison to fights
I'm Not going to the Path that leads to evil.
That behavior needs to stop, and people need to be held accountable and change their ways.
Like Here's a story of myself on my dark side
On Men's Mental Health Awareness Month. I was telling the truth of what I've done wrong and I take full responcibility and Accountability for it. I crossed Nala_Elephant's Boundaries and been on her AD account and she blocked me on both accounts, I harassed lunesonthemoon for free art by doing the DTIYS, And I dumped personal information when we weren't close friends.
On Thursday Feb 1, I was ready to sleep, I had to tell the truth to mom of what I was hiding. She was not mad or disappointed. She was sorry that I had to go through such horrible things. She gave me some friendly advice to overcome it and to not do the same things that I did in the past. I'm being humbled in a good way by my mother and I'm learning from my actions.
I'm going to the bright side of my life and not the dark side.
Please Pray for me for I will change to a better person
i believe this is why the furry fandom needs to change or rebrand itself as people like these are all too easily hurting the fandom and others in it. As a furry this is appalling
Yes
Pretty much true. Even as furries, we should realize there is a problem, and not just keep silent about it, making it worse. It's really better to call them out and make them outcasts in the fandom than just keep pretending that everything is okay in some misguided attempt to "save the fandom's reputation".
I agree with most of this, I'm not caught up on the Abdl drama, but I will say I don't fully believe in the Gl1tch predation drama. The evidence used against him was very lackluster and had an uncomfortable amount of holes, as well as quite a few trusted furs backing him up, and the whole issue surrounding him had pretty much completely dropped unlike most other known predatory furs who are never let go because of their actions.
The whole situation behind Gl1tch seems like it could be another situation where evidence was gathered through distrustful and twisted ways to form a case against someone that someone wanted to hate, and that it could really just be a gamble between them being an actual predatory fur or just another fur being torn apart because they pissed off the wrong person.
I do believe Oliver actually did do some horrid stuff though, and I don't believe Gl1tch was aware of the truth behind any of it, and considering that if the situation of Gl1tch being innocent is actually true, would be reasonable for gl1tch to assume Oliver was also innocent as they were attacked as a duo rather than individually
Couple of corrections/updates for you:
1. The minor Gabe groomed is a FtM Trans Man.
2. They didn't come forward on their own, the Facebook logs were leaked 1st. It was only in December 2022 that they would finally speak out publicly against Gabe. Gabe would then proceed to scream at them over a livestream stating that he was the real victim, not them.
3. Gabe and Growly are still friends and regularly hang out at private house parties hosted by a mutual friend
4. Gabe let Growly hold his son at a furcon and also tried to stay in the same room as him despite knowing that Growly was a registered sex offender
5. Growly is still active on Twitter and Telegram
Very interesting thank you for telling me
I feel like every fandom has a unspoken darkside and each community wants to ignore those things and just enjoy lightside because it's not part of that fandom that it was founded in the beginning.
Also I'm not part of furry community but I believe its just certain amount people that are like this not everyone in the community joins for the wrong reasons its to be happy
Btw you may want to blur out Gabriel Sickle’s picture, hes known to site that as harrassment with youtube
Yeah Growly sent me one already lol but I used his mugshot which I think is fine to use. As for Gabriel may have to blur his face in the future
@@FFI.16 its an ugly mug anyway
I hate a good 90% of this fandom.
Yeah those psychopaths are ruining the fandom for us
Furry fandom is actually well but some people use it for sexual stuff and more idiots too
you forgot varka the one who is the founder of many furry things like the e621 site and bad dragon. That is one who only little furrys now about who is dangerous. That person was the reason why i thought that the furry community is beyond saving. I think the furry community needs to be louder when there are shit happening. Espacially with furry cons and their "secret" zoo meetings. I wish the furry community happyness and less problems with such people.
Yes I’m looking into him for a future video
Its the same like on every community . Every community has their monsters sadly
Also . After a few really bad things happening to people being called out for certain stuff being absolutely manufactured claims only to destroy their lifes ..it's really dangerous to post anything cause you can't be 100% sure if it's true . ( Talking about "person X has done X" videos )
11:25 if you didn’t know the suit shown is actually Ralsie from the video game Deltarune
Yall also watch out to crusader cat, Kero the wolf, Mr.Teriyaki and AcidRainCloud. There all also creeps and shouldnt be able to go to conventions but they get in anyways so 🤷
Many others remain
@@FFI.16 thats why I wont go to a convention until im 18 or older bc i fear being harassed by grown adults. Its sad that within such a welcoming cozy community hides such awful people😞

he's here to make these furries feel the weight of their sins
Wait, Glitch is a predator? How’d I not know this?!
It was a while ago
@@FFI.16 oh, I’m still surprised about that tho. I thought he just made sexual jokes
Glitch made Furry_IRL meme reaction videos and he has/had his own Discord server which I joined months ago back on my old Discord account, from what I recall it was dead.
Snake Thing and Kero should be in the video.
I have another video on them already
As a therian and a furry, i promise not all of us are like this 😭😭
Holy shit. I never even heard about what Glitch did wtf.
Many haven't as well
im glad this video waas very informative and ACTUALLY SHOWED the dark side in truth but didnt paint the whole fandom in black either.
I do my best
The editing and the music goes hard, keep uploading we all are gonna make it!
Yes sir 🙏
Dragoneer is their own can of worms. There's a reason he hangs out with a crowd that includes growly.
What does he get up to?
I understand needing smth for the background while ur talking abt stuff, but is it really the most appropriate thing to use clips of completely innocent furs in suit while talking abt these people? like it almost feels incriminating to see yourself or others being shown off while someone talks abt Horrible Things another furry has done.
I mean it makes sense that when I talk about furries I have someone walking around a furry convention plus I make it very clear who I’m talking about
I left the furry community. One stupid jerk spread lies about me and turned so many people against me to the point where I had to take down a lot of online accounts and even go offline for a while. I walked out of the furry community. 👨🚒 “I’ve had it up to heeerrreee, with the likes of you people!”
What they say about you
@@FFI.16 They spread lies about me stalking them and cat fishing them online. A bunch of other BS as well.
