      I agree with that....and if the majority of the furry community was just sharing wholesome drawings and occasionally wearing a costume, I wouldn't mind including them in that grouping.
      However, while *_all_* communities have their issues, the furry community seems to be predisposed to attracting perverse criminals.
      That's the issue. Sure, there are speed runners that fake times, there are assholes in chess, etc. ....gr 00ming, SA of animals?
      That's an entirely different thing.
      Same thing with Bronies. It's a community that attracts kids and people that would like to victimize those kids.

      @@TheHibbitydibbitythere are people who are in the chess community and such who are sexual predators tho. you just don’t hear reporters saying “Chess player accused of three cases of statutory rape” cause people don’t care whether someone plays chess, or plays videogames or something. the furry community is one that people have been trying to demonize since it’s inception in the 80’s. you’re always going to hear when a furry is a predator or a criminal, because it’s something reporters think is worth pointing out.
      no one’s gonna say “hot wheels collector accused of kidnapping and withholding 4 minors in his basement” or “elder scrolls 5: skyrim enthusiast accused of possessing child p*rn” cause no one cares about those details. it’s the same reason the sexuality/gender identity of queer people are always stated in a headline when one of them may commit a crime, even if their identity has nothing to do with the crime they committed. it’s gives people ammo to say “see? i told you those gays were all groomers” or “see? trans people ARE pedophiles. i was right”
      the media doesn’t care about people. they will use whatever they can in a headline to get more clicks. and when you put, in your headline, that the person who committed any given crime was a “furry”, that’s gonna pull more people in.
      it’s gonna pull furries in, cause they wanna see how bad this is gonna make the community look. it’s gonna anti-furs cause they wanna prove a point. and it’s gonna pull in people who don’t know what “furries” are, cause they’re curious to know what a furry is what what significance it holds to the case. Thus, more clicks and more ad revenue for whatever journalism outlet made the post.
      Yes, every community has bad apples. but the furry community looks worse because people want to make us look worse. people care about the “abnormal traits” of a criminal, so as to try to parse out why someone may have done what they did. and being a furry is seen as “abnormal”. humans like to jump to conclusions, so when they hear that someone sexually assaulted an animal, and then they hear that the person was also apart of a strange subculture of people who are often scrutinized and looked down upon, the reader is going to assume that those two things directly correlate, because those two things are the two most defining things about the offender, and thus, must be connected somehow.
      but it doesn’t always work that way. there could be a person who dips plums in a tub of vinegar, slices them open, drizzles them with olive oil and chocolate sauce and then sprinkles rabbit shit on it and then eats it. but if that person were to then proceed to rape an innocent person, no one would ever correlate those two things. because no one cares. but people care about furries. whether it’s to demonize them, or support them, or ridicule them, or fucking kill them, people care about the existence of furries. and news outlets know this, so whenever a furry does some weird shit, the media is going to make sure as many people as possible know about it, as well as the fact that the person is a furry
      that’s why we seem so much worse. because people go out of their way to make us seem worse

    I had a chat with someone who also said that "creeps in furry fandom in the USA are not caused by the fact fandom supposedly harbors them, but the fact the number of creeps in the USA is very high".

      Hhhh, there's so much drama within the furry fandom. But, I often avoid a lot of things as much as possible. A lot of negativity, people tend to focus on just the bad things that happened. I may be a pokemon furry myself, but I am not one who trusts anyone that I don't know. Sure, I might talk to them, but it's moreso to learn more about someone. I've met absolute creeps in the fandom which I have gone to immediately warn my family and my family's friends about them especially when they are anywhere near them or I had encountered them. In the end, it's all about the safety of everyone, it's all I care about and that people are having fun as well. If the fandom was nothing but a terrible place, I would have abandoned it years ago, but it's fun and safe, if you know where to go, most of the time. I'm just really happy with how this video spoke about the topic instead of rather taking sides or leaving open ends to assumptions that everyone in the community is the same, cause, in the end, we're all people of different places, backgrounds and interests within the same community. And people outside of the fandom, same thing with them.

      "Pelican" is the name applied to a series of tactical aerospace lifters operated by the UNSC Air Force, the UNSC Marine Corps, the UNSC Navy, corporate entities and the civilian security forces.
      The Pelican line entered service in 2392.
      The air frame of the Pelican allows them to carry heavy objects underneath their tail booms. Common carry items include an M12 Warthog, M808 Scorpion tank, troop deployment pods or resupply canisters.
      Pelicans receive serial numbers to be identified by during radio transmissions, particularly in combat situations. Each serial number consists of a letter from the Phonetic Alphabet followed by a number. Though a few Pelicans have this number inscribed on their cargo bays, most have no distinguishing mark on their exteriors.

    Great video. I was a part of this "community" for 20 years. Was involved in organising events for a lot of that time. Gave up after the aftermath of the stuff you mentioned. There's one in the US who was and still is on several con's AV crews, outed in the Leaks, and the conventions he worked for doubled down and refused to take action or engage with the community. Furries just dismissed it and kept going to those cons.
    The only reason these people are in jail is because others collected the evidence and took it to the authorities. If it was left to furries - and I say that as someone who used to be one - this would have been covered up.
    Even today anyone talking about it is usually banned from furry chats. They call it "drama". It's a word they use to describe everything from petty fights to criminal acts. Everything has to be covered up to make the scene look good.

      ​@@TBATG Thank you. I met some very nice people there and I consider myself lucky they are still my friends (maybe not if they see this post). It's all I can do, the furries won't police themselves. I used to think they could but after 10 years trying I knew I was treading water. It was destroying me.
      I still like the creativity and the art but so many of the good people left because they were either smeared or abused.
      Furry cons are very political inside, I saw lots of nepotism. I even saw staff talking openly about how they hate attendees (specific ones or all), wanted bad things to happen to them, or how they could do anything they liked because furries would just keep giving them money to go to the con and couldn't afford to sue them. we raised all of it but directors told us if we didn't like it we could quit.
      we tried to start a new con but the chairperson of the con we left called our venue and smeared us and threatened them, and badmouthed us to their attendees. we had to abandon it. and the furries we thought were our "friends" who'd come to the con and support us, just laughed and said they were going to go to the other con because everyone was going there and "they didn't go for the staff".

      Source: been groomed online before, my parents blamed me for it and pressured me into staying silent. It was my music teacher, close friends, school counselors, and the detective at my local law enforcement agency who believed in me. I'm an adult now and our relationship has rekindled a good bit, but it really sucked and contributed to the trauma more than it helped. Although my parents have changed for the better, this will always be a deep scar on our relationship and I never stopped feeling bitter when I recall these memories.

    Just remember that hating on someone for liking anthromorphic animals and does NOT involve with the actions displayed in the video is wrong.
    It's just the zoophiles and the others that participate in actions such as those.
    And people do need to recognize that the furry community is NOT the only community that have these horrible people in it.

    No. Hell no. 1000 times no. I don’t care what you’re going through. If i purchased something from an online seller, its either give the product or refund my money. I’m not “giving” additional money, paying your phone bill, insurance AND car payment, just so you can be bothered to send me something I already purchased. Whoever got scammed like that is a moron with more money than sense.

Every community has some of those, just ours give the rest of us a bad rap. Been a furry for 16 years and counting, i have met some myself, currently i also moderate a big community of furries so... i get close and personal with the outcast of our community.

    I've been a furry for 6 years and so happy I never really got into the fandom, apart from drawing for myself and commissioning a safe artist once when I was 16 💀. I've never really talked to other furries, but a few weeks ago I ran into an old friend who talked to me about it. He told me how much he tried to get into the scene, but after meeting really weird people in the community, he quickly quit. I told him to just be a furry by himself, but now he wants nothing more to do with it. To me it's just sad that this fandom can be so ugly if you're not careful enough.
    I also would have gone to some conventions a long time ago, but this is exactly the reason that keeps me away :c

I don't go wearing costumes nor join VRChats, but would share some OC characters if possible with respect. I know you're not trying to say all furries are evil as introduced (while sometimes you sound like it is) because not everybody are like them, and I respect that. It's just people misunderstand as stereotypes takes things too offensive to certain people's likes.

    Correction: Not Anthrocon. It was Midwest Furfest
    On December 7, 2014, Midwest FurFest was targeted by a chlorine gas attack, hospitalizing 19 attendees.

    I really appreciate the effort you put into this video, it is clear, concise, and really good in quality. Each fandom has it's dark side, the furry fandom is no exception, and this video shines the much needed light on the sh*tty things that need to be fixed.

    As a furry,i am horribly disgusted at the fact that some furrys interacring with MINORS in a very inappropriate way. As being a 14yr old,i would say to be carefull on who you meet online,you would never know on whos behind the other screen.

    I am a furry and I will instantly side with someone if the try to shit talk the community, it is horrible what some of them do to others or even animals, I wish the community didn't have these weirdos and that it could be normal but that is never happening, the amount of things said to me cause I reside in the same interests as your local zoophile is something I wish I could make up.

    You know, I greatly appreciate this video.
    I would like to say that as of recently there has been a large decrease in hate towards furries themselves as people now know who/what kind if people to avoid.
    Thanks to you and other content creators like you, you are genuinely helping us greatly by surfacing these prominent issues within the fandom.
    You did a great job on this video, and I only hope that it can influence more people to be aware of who to avoid when interacting with this fandom.
    Also, as someone who was thrown into the furry community much younger than should be allowed... it is definitely not a community for minors... not until the heavy risks are reduced.

    Im a furry, no i dont own a fursuit or any OCs or anything but i am very glad and im happy that you did so much research to make an educational video to let everyone know the red flags and the faults of the furry fandom and how we can make it a safer and better place. You did a really good job educating and warning the masses of not only the furry community but other communities that are in danger of their very own fandom members, thank you very much and have a good rest of your year,

    As a 50% furry i can say i play vrchat and fall guys 24/7 and im turning 13 years old next year and when i went to friennis nightclub i enjoyed the party it was normal but when i went the next day the videoplayer has real life gore videos and me and my friend left but that wasn't the last time i went there next server had normal jazz and people at the bar in the world and to this day i moved on from the fnia community (kinda) and moved on to fundamental paper education/baldis basics community and i enjoy the fpe community so thats my story on the world and it was crazy.
