The BBC is a prime example of why one might consider taxation to be theft.
I am fearfully waiting when Yle goes to the deepend
@@Jaegerrants ??? It already hasn't???🤔
@@FALLINGJIGSAW he must go deeper
Right there alongside the NHS
@Lagbeard Bolshevic Broadcast Commune, most definitely and why I have never paid for the license.
"From the BBC!" Oh thank God it's not America "strangely enough, US tax dollars!" GOD DAMMIT! CAN YOU NOT FUND DEGENERATE SHIT FOR FIVE MINUTES!
'five minutes, Donkey." (And also apparently Elefant)
And people wonder why we want Trump to cut some of these tax payer funded programs.
Yes... He hasn't removed enough of the waste from the government.
Don't speak so soon, DOGE hasn't looked into that much yet. I would wager we were finding something very similar...
@@hykeauxArch and Brian were referring to USAID was funding BBC, what are you referring too?
The BBC has a history of protecting sexual deviants
Why do fetishists always need to make sure everyone knows what their fetish is?
No one wants to know... Just keep it to yourself.
Because they don't know anyone else's fetish?
Because that is, in fact, *part of the fetish*
@@Jaxvidstar Ok? And?
@Jaxvidstar Stop sexually harassing people or else you're reported
Because they want to be treated as normal despite dressing as giant dogs and making love publicly without being shamed and mocked.
If you run down the street in a superhero costume and yell FOR GOTHAM, you get locked away. If you run down the street in a fursuit and yell YIFF YIFF YIFF you get a month of celebration and media applause. These are not the same.
Bingo.
Its because when you say that you are a superhero, you are implying that you hunt criminals. Politicians don't take this threat lightly.
Valid!
Furries don't run down the street yelling "yiff" if they did, they'd get bitched at by other furries as well, dumbass
@@MrChaosWeapon This.
This makes me want to rewatch the flashgitz Furry crusades again
FOR SPACE KING 👑
AVENG ME BROTHA AVEEEENGE MEEEEH *PLORT*
DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA!!!!
No Mercy
Yeah seeing this video title made me think of the Fur-Suit symbiote from Episode 3 of the Furry Crusades where the host is trapped inside.
"I'm Strong-Fang now! First of my name! I can almost [Redacted] myself! Here watch..."
Like wearing a superhero cape, in public and when you are 45 years old.
So kryptonians can't age to and pass 45?
And wearing nothing else
I had a beanie-copter propellor hat just like Beanie had on the Beanie and Cecil show.
Same people have dolls on their book shelves.
I don't need a cape to feel like a superhero, that's just cope lol. I feel like a superhero when i wake up, see the sun rise over my off grid gardens, the flames in the fireplace from the pile of firewood i chopped, the running water, the electricity i created myself up here in the mountains and "in the woods".
I depend and rely on myself for all this stuff, and as a result i have cleaner water from my tanks than they do in town, i have more reliable power, an infinite supply of wood, no bills, and all the time in the world for self actualization and to pursue my passions.
No cope, i mean cape needed.
"honey, where's my furry suit?"
"WHERE'S.MY.FURRY.SUIT?!"
*smiles* My spouse is usually too busy finding paws and tails in the spare room.
And, it’s, “Darling, have you seen my banded mail anywhere?”
"I, uh, put it away. Why do you need to know?"
@@johnpk5831 "I NEED IT!!!"
‘I threw it away!’
‘WHERE?!’
‘In the bin, then I set in on fire and I swear it let out the scream of the damned!’
This is what happens when a civilization becomes infantile.
The matriarchy likes to infantilize everything, after all, that is how it maintains power.
We have progressed to peak weakness lol.
@@kamesanj0 My guy, I promise there is no bottom of that barrel.
Them - you probably know a furry.
Arch - oh...I do...
Vee - why do I feel like I've just been insulted...

@@shawnm1902 also rags
Furry doesn't have to be a fetish, but I imagine that it is for 98+% of Furries.
There's a total of around three that don't make it weird
Step 1, normalization.
Pretty sure they are past that step.
Yup. Must pave for the way that leads to all kinds of genetic altering.
@@Blunthammer no!
I repeat can the straight people get a month where we can celebrate? Cause if I hear someone "you have the rest of the year" where we are told we have to respect everyone elses "proclivities."
I have a strange idea... let's get rid of all the months, keep the alternative lifestyles away from the kids and you can do whatever you like in the privacy of your home. Like the OG gay chant said "keep the government out of the bedroom"... then keep the "sexytime" in the bedroom.
let's make the whole year a straight pride
National White Month, International Men's Day, Straight Pride Month...what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Defund it all and do what Morgan Freeman advised over a decade ago and stop talking about it.
Brother, fetch the Flamer, The Heavy Flamer
Sargon payed for this 🥳
As did the American taxpayer.
Not everyone pays the Bolshevik Broadcast Commune license.....👌
And also Mauler
*I* paid for this. 😢
And the Somalis chatting having a coffee at the cafe at 1 in the afternoon
God I miss the days furries knew to stay out of sight since they knew their tastes were indeed very strange. It was better for everyone those days.
@@reggie6230 self awareness goes a long way
Furries stayed in their lane, Trekkies in theirs, Star Wars fans in theirs, DnD fans in theirs, and all was good. But then one day the Fire Nation attacked . . .
Maybe we should add "Furry" to the Rainbow Mafia.
The problem is the "culture" of victimhood being a virtue. Now, anyone that is freaky is a victim of some sort of oppression, and therefore worthy of a golden trophy.
They were the start of woke.
lgbtqiF...
Also. The reason for not calling it a fetish is (and this has been documented) so they can try to appeal to minors.
They always go after the kids
Send in the Black Templars...rarely such an opportunity presents itself😎
This does qualify as heresy in their codex;)

Wearing a cape doesn't turn anyone into a super hero. Neither does a fur suit, or having weird fetishes.
"From the BBC..."
Well that tells me everything I need to know about this article.
‘Have a little bit of fun’ Not if you’re British
"Oy! You 'ave Loycence on tat fun?!"
I have no problem with furry as a "thing". What I DO have a problem with is furries that scream that "it is NOT a fetish" or "it isn't sexual". It is. Most certainly. And as such, there is a time and place for such, and being in public/around kids is NOT it.
It's not always sexual tho, some just like the animal so wanna dress like it, sorta as a cosplay
You are right and wrong at the same time.
There have always been the fetishists. I would even go as far as saying that they created the entire thing.
But you really cant say that there are no actual... cough... "spiritualist" in there like the otherkin who use this stuff solely and sincerely only because they have some kind of identity crisis and feel that they are merely a dragon or a wolf trapped in human skin.
Its a mixed bag. A mix of equal parts of "you dont wanna go there".
Are furries as a concept a fetish? No, otherwise Looney Toons wouldn't be a thing. Do furries have a lot of trouble keeping it in their pants? Absolutely. And as a furry myself, I'm fucking tired of it
my friend kind of introduced me to some "furry" related info... all i can say is that in most cases furries have problems and very often oversexualize things or are sexoholics, orgies, blackrooms with going around to different rooms etc... and as every 'holism' is a way to run from problems, they more often than not have a lot of problems and need psychologist to work out a childhood trauma or other things
I have a problem with the whole idea, it's creepy af and tells me not to let kids near any freak who is one.
When you see shit like this, it really put in perspective why God had to destroy Sodoma and Gomorra.
Honestly (and I understand your sentiment) the stuff going on back then was so abominable nothing in the modern West even comes close. But again, I get what you're saying.
Pardon me, but Sodom and Gomorra happened because of stuff like the T in lgbt. With ppl demanding... "access" to other people's.... "personal" spaces.
As ironical it is, i always tend to bring up that Furries were the original "i identify as something else" group, but they never ever went to the same level of insanity the T ppl did, demanding their races and self identifiers to be speech mandated or put into passports.
I dunno bro we had a major pedophile ring bust with hundreds of underage minors being trafficked to apparently no one since one culprit "Epstein'd himself' and one takes a fall but not a single john has been brought to justice in hundreds of child grape cases...we might be just as bad as Sodom and gahmorra its just what the politicians do is kept so well into the shadows no one wants to actually acknowledge it's happening even in the face of irrefutable evidence that it is.
Could you honestly blame him after seeing shit like this?
@@jjjmadness8306 it's deranged, yes. But don't forget that in those ages, the things going on in those cities "the platform" will not allow me to say or else delete my comment. Things like this don't compare to what brought His wrath down onto those old cities.
We haven't begun to reach that territory. It can/will get MUCH worse.
The problem with the furry community is the dynamic range of people in it. We have more than a few people who are, for lack of a better word, total freaks...and they will invariably *always* show up at conventions. I like my OC because it's a better version of me, but you don't see me in a fursuit, and you don't see me being a letch on random passers-by.
I believe they call people like us "normal", for the most part.
I think the duality of this is seen in the comments of a Den of the Drake video when he covers a Furry TTRPG horror story, Half the Furry comments is "Not all furries", the next sizeable chunk is the Furries (Really Scalies) being weird because the channel mascot is a cartoon dragon. The last little bit actually addresses the story and or lessons to take away.
@@ZedRen-s8g The "Not all furries" excuse just shows a wide spread lack of accountability within their community.
@@Cowboycomando54 I think that’s why they get shit on so much. They can’t keep themselves clean and it becomes everyone’s problem
As a British citizen, I'm proud to say that I am ashamed to have the BBC as my state broadcaster.
I roll my eyes and think "tip of the iceberg " looking in the direction of a McDonalds recreation on VRChat and finding furries are mild by comparison.
as a furry I want to say we can no longer disconnect because our community has been filled with activists.
What do you mean by "disconnect"?
Cause I don't know about you, but I'm a right-wing Christian furry, and I have been forcibly pushed out of online furry circles because of it. And frankly, I'm okay with that. I don't want the headache or stress of having to fight people everywhere I go in my own fandom. I'll just happily stay a solo furry.
@@Snow-Willow thats the unfortunate misunderstanding alot of people have the fandom got taken over by the activists. Basically the MLP and furry community were ground zero for this stuff I remember watching them go from accepting anyone to suddenly driving out anyone who didn't agree with the "approved messenge" say around 2014-2016. While these other communities hate on the furries they don't realize they are fighting the same people who took over the fandom they just keep moving to different fandoms till they control it all and no one can hide. I agree best way is to go solo. I do the same with anime the communities get so toxic sometimes it distracts from the fun. But occasionally you can still find decent people if you look hard enough.
@@Snow-Willow by disconnect, I am referring to the culture war stuff like identity politics. I also remember when we pushed yall out and the fandom seemed fine for a while but then it started it eat its own tail after either it became filled with activists or people became activists.
@ want to know the biggest irony rn? I am now a non practicing christan rightwing furry by definition of the changing times.
@@Snow-Willow similar experience. I have few friends who are furries, i have acquaintances who are but i have to keep them at all arms length and hide my beliefs around them. At conventions i have to pretend to be someone entirely different just to be able to enjoy the hobby.
Its a funny world where i would sooner tell a christian stranger about my hobby, then tell other furries anything about myself at all.
Shame too, sometimes you meet people you can just tell are putting up a front too, like passing another ship in a storm.
My reaction when someone says their a furry:
OK.
And?
It that irelevant.
And?
I am going to hug you all day and you will love it. UwU
@@NcrXnbiMwhahaha.
Dont threaten me with a good time.
I know furries and they hate how popular media put a light on them.
They said the fetish weirdos invaded their cons since the 2010's.
Tho I'm sure putting on a suit to act like animals is a fetish too.
Their cons have been compromised since Confurrance 0.
As an insider, I can tell you that it has been infested with sexual shit since literally the very first convention.
It was, is and will always be completely pervasive throughout.
There are those for whom it is just a bit of fun and there's nothing sexual involved, but let me tell you they are few and far between.
And any attending of a convention will have anyone understand this within the first minute. It is wall-to-wall degenerates, with a few almost normal people sprinkled in.
And most of them are commies too.
99% of these people are in IT, furry costumes are super expensive. These are the guys creating the tools to control you lol
That's terrifying
It's fine, the loonytroons will sort themselves out once the anti-depressants run out.
Well to be fair. That's because they're the ones actually are willing to dedicate learning t work hard enough to learn to do important things in the first place. Trump and Elon are also furries. You have to be willing to learn to do things if you want to have any true authority in anything.
I was into IT work before. Yes, I could easily get $5000 for my fursuit if I sold it now.
@DemiSupremi this the kind of thing you can't just not elaborate on XD
12:20 Arch: "Well of course I know him. He's me." XD
"No one cared who I was until I put on the wolf head." 👀
It was the year 2003.
S5E4 of CSI premiers titled "Fur and Loathing".
The world was never the same afterwards.
I remember that episode god im old
that was the day I had to explain furries to my dad lmao (it wasn't 2003, but a rerun many years later, mind)
@@bruhmandude555Same, and really furries made a lot of good positive strides in public relations until, like 2012 when something happened and the whole world started to lose its sht.
Oh god THAT episode... well to be fair CSI had a lot of fetishes involved in their cases, tjere was that one chibby chaser one where victim died because a bigger girl turned over in her sleep causing the guy to suffocate on her chest.
Wait..... I think I remember seeing that. That wasn't just a fever dream?!
So Vee used to be a superhero, but retired at some point. Fabulous.
"Furries are badly represented in the media!" 😂
And by the furries as well. 🤣
Furry art can be good but furry as a lifestyle is utterly gross
"No Capes"
Edna The Incredibles
Okay, first off, no.
Second, if being Furry makes you a superhero, then why do most kids become increasingly uncomfortable the longer they spend time with said Furries.
"What is your super power?"
Me.- "knots, OwO".
As a furry I can tell you it doesn’t feel like a cape… it’s a hand crafted, wearable shag carpet you willingly get heat stroke in.
My fursuit is best wearing when it's -10'C outside 😅. A wearable sleeping bag.
Should be enough room to install either an active or passive cooling system.
@@Cowboycomando54many do, but it usually doesnt go further then air cooling in the head.
Ice vests im sure would be more common if more hotel rooms had freezers.
I saw a Furry "Lady of the Night" in Oxford recently, must be getting popular if she gets clients on regular basis.
... was she a sheep? could also attract the locals with more "classical" taste in their fur 😂.
@@Jaegerrants Nah, I'm not being ironic. She was pretty, skinny type, around 20. Had her canine costume parts, but no mask, just some makeup.
I know what con stink normally is... I dont want to imagine what that con stink is like. 😂🤮
As a furry, i dont see how wearing a fursuit is some "stunning and brave" act, just wear it for the fun of it!
for some its at best therapy.
@@NoahGooder Sounds more like "Reverse Therapy" when you realize what trouble you're getting yourself by wearing these Suits...
@@soulsolis3096 in my case it do it privately, and it helps with the twichyness of autism for like a whole week.
@ Exactly, never wear those in very public spaces!
Brother, get me the flamer.
The heavy flamer.
Some fursuits are high quality, others are trash; Some furries will never buy one, because they only go as far as to enjoy the cartoons; And some of us..... wonder what the fuck happened
They partnered with pride events that's what happened, the rest is history.
Now look I like seeing a sexy catgirl or catboy from time to time, but I'm not gonna dress up like that and go out in public. People really need to keep their fetishes to themselves.
0:10 as a furry myself I strongly disagree
Ehhh, in general yes I agree, but there are instances where I would agree with the headline. Like for those furries who go to children's hospitals in costume to spread some cheer to the sick kids, I would call that worthy of being called a "superhero cape".
True enough, I didn't quite think of those guys but I doubt the bbc did aswell
@@Snow-Willow Like all things, Good people exist everywhere, and so do bad people.
Yeah but we're one of the few good ones how many more are .... ugh
Yeah if you like me just enjoy anthropomorphic cartoon characters don't go to a furry convention it gets weird fast
One word... debauchery. The BBC doesn't even know what it does anymore.
Just remember...someone took the time to write a serious article about this. I hate journalists so much it's unreal.
Likely an AI wrote it
@slimynaut That's a fair assumption at this point in current year.
Ah no. I might be a furry but I hate fursuits or any uncomfortable costume that limits my visibility, movement, and breathing. It's basically like being a mascot and only fun for some people.
Same. I love the look of some of the suits, especially the ones made by Clockwork Creature, but I would never be able to actually wear one.
People ask how things could be worse than they are in the USA...
And I always point across the seas and say "Look over there! Those loonies also use tax payer money to fund it!"
Right now we have someone trying to cut the crazy... Yet over the seas they have gone deeper down the rabbit hole.
Did you know 8% of the BBC funding came from USAID. The sad thing is due to class differences, populists have a really hard time getting anywhere and the conservatives party has done a good job of containment.
Our tax money.
Space King knows what to do about them :D
In a way you can admire their ability to shrug off the social norms and do what they want. And as long as it's not hurting anybody (and not using my tax dollars) I don't care what they do.
“It’s not a fetish event!”
Then please explain all the buttsex.
England walking closer and closer to the void
If you think that, then you have not been paying attention.
They are already past the event horizon.
Then explain why Islam are prohibiting dogs
Oh, they're already falling far and deep into the void (in more ways than you know.)
no, this is Scotland, and they're even closer!
I've always been of the mind that media attention on the furry fandom is just unnecessary and will probably lead to more negativity than positivity.
It's just... "Why?", we don't need to push that shit onto the general public. Those that are interested will probably find it themselves.
Also we in Scandinavia got a larger furcon than the scotts :p
It's a nice escapism thing, but I wish it wasn't so colonized by progressive politics - Wish it was less focused on politics.
The funny thing is, most furries agree with you. Or at least they did, (not sure what the current feelings are in the fandom).
I've been a furry since the early 2000s when the CSI episode came out that catapulted furry-ness into the spotlight in America. Almost instantly the reaction among furries was, "we don't want any attention, just leave us alone". There was a rule in the fandom that you don't talk to the media or cause attention. How it got to this state, I have no idea.
Well, 100% agree with your comment about it being infused with progressive politics too. That's part of the reason I don't engage in furry social circles anymore is because I'm right-wing and a Christian. I am very much not welcomed in the modern furry fandom. 😅
@@Snow-Willow Yeah I've been a furry since the early 2000s myself, and I recall the lil fandom in my nation was rather split on media attention because of just generally a lot of negative media attention around furries in the USA. (not to mention the Tyra Banks incident :P)
I honestly don't know what most furries believe anymore, if media attention is fine or not, politics and so on.
it feels like so many in the fandom is at the stage of "If you don't agree with me on 100% of the things I say, then you are my enemy". I definitely ain't passing the "purity" test as I'm more right-wing myself. I don't engage much with the fandom anymore either. I never really did tbh, but I've definitely noticed the fandom getting increasingly political over the years
If superheroes were real, the furry fandom would be purged over night due to the overwhelming abundance of kid and animal abusers.
No capes!!!
not all of us autistic gay furries are like this uwu. I'm a dog, Ruff!!
The hell is with all these bots with the same profile pics shilling furries?
10:36 "Is that a moniker they themselves adopted?" Yes, Arch. While they were originally know as funny animal fans in the 70s and 80s, the name eventually became the furry fandom, which got shortened to furries. Particulaly snobbish individuals might refer to themselves as "anthropomorphics enthusiasts."
11:33 "Rocky the German Shephard says that in real life they could be doctors, teachers, engineers, or lawyers." 80% are IT. Though at least one is a PhD Chemist.
12:20 "You probably know a furry." "I do, I do." Arch . . . Pokemon and MLP Smash or Pass streams. You are not beating the allegations. If it was only MLP you could have gotten away with just Brony, but with Pokemon too?
Probably taxpayer funded.
@@rustyshackleford1062 Not for much longer, DOGE is doing good.
Furries are the sick freaks who taught the wokes to brigade comment sections with bots pushing their talking points. It's to fake authenticity about their movement and its support.
@@DefaultFlame Can't do much about the UK tax funded stuff though.
@ Sadly so. At least Reform is doing well. Might be a light at the end of the tunnel?
"fetishism is not part of the identity" hahahaha as a furry its one of our core aspects but most of us know when to tone it down in public.
If a fetish exist you can be sure to find it in the furry fandom.
@@Svedge Rule 34. If it exists there is pron of it.
@@Svedge yep i mean we are merely a giant conceptual umbrella.
Fetishes are good when you are keeping them in a proper surrounding, like between your trusted pals or people with similar taste. But when you go with it in public, it stinks man. I really dont want to know what is your kink. If id like to know, id ask
Shit like that makes it hard to defend the furries. Many are really nice and normal people, but some of them are just there to be wierd and because the community was so open, it got taken over without much resistance.
Most are not normal people.
Unless of course you think the people in eyes wide shut were "normal"
"Because the community was so open, it got taken over without much resistance"
Hit the nail right on the head. Unfortunately.
Ive been honestly considering asking arch how would u even attempt to gate keep furry?
@@Snow-Willow i somewhat agree, but somewhat disagree. The first few conventions were some of the strangest.
The only thing i think ever changed was the influx of activists and ideologues. The fandom was always very liberal, but unfortunately that group includes a lot of insufferable people now.
It is really nice when you meet some of the normal ones. And honestly even the insufferable types are usually nice, so long as they think you share their ideas.
I wish things were different, its exhausting being suffocated by politics in every furry space.
A hell of a missed opportunity to not have Kibs make a guest appearance 😂
But....there is always a butt. Especially in a furry convention😂😂
Pftttttttttt
HAHAHAHA
...
Our Grandfather's died for this 😢😢😢
Yeah, but at least you're not speaking german...And, more importantly, do you have a loicense for that opinion?
*my great grandfather running through trenches handing out gas masks and piss rags for the mustard gas*😶🌫️
I don't think Booster Gold wore a cape.
Also there are fewer suspiciously wealthy furries as much as there are furries who are exceptionally bad with money.
I love being a furry and seeing other furries being fucking stupid in the media. So amazing. JFC...
No I will not tolerate it, Arch. Tolerance is for the weak, and invites more of it.
The Warhammer 40k antifurry animation guys are openly furries as well. You lost the battle before it began.
@@DemiSupremi This is not a battle, it's a hunting party.
@@Boss_Tigger Pretty sure most furries who play Warhammer are into degradation. Which is why Flashgitz does those animations in the first place. It helps them get off to the idea of a big burly man stepping on their nuts. You know, normal furry things.

*_No Kibs to weigh in on this? A subject matter expert would not hurt..._*
I miss Kibs. Instead we have . . . Dev.

Arch: you don't count.
Some things should be judged and shamed.
I don't know how Arch can be aware of all the modern insanity, and still never realized that "do as you like as long as you keep it to yourself" is what enabled all this.

Furry genre vs furry lifestyle
Yuuuup. I like furry stuff because the character design and even personality is a lot broader than purely human ones, but I ain't going to no cons.
This is the best comment I've seen. Sums up exactly how I feel. Cons are so disgusting.
Would it be accurate to call it a spectrum? There’s some cool stuff in the genre but I’d never go to a con and avoid engaging with the community at large. Those people can get really weird…
@@Psykodeer Supposedly in the past the cons were more like anime and comic cons, more "look at my cool drawing, buy my merch, go to a panel on storytelling structure, hey I'm doing this animation project . . ." and a separate, screened off section for adults only stuff, and I suppose the largest cons might still be like that simply because of numbers, but the smaller, grungier cons? Nuh uh.
Yes, exactly. Back when I was younger, there was always a distinct difference made between furries and furry lifestylers. Somewhere along the last several years that distinction seems to have been disappeared.
as a very passive furry myself i will say furrys get's way to much casual hate on the internet out sided of the community
you can barely find any one talking about furries without them also slander the furrys at the same time (i can count the amount of videios i seen that don't blast the furry community on 1 hand) as long as it's in good fun it's fine but it mostly comes off as well not that
to me it's absolutely a niece fetish that i can enjoy on the side
i am not gonna go spend thousands upon thousands of kroner on a fursuit or get a fursuit at all as that's too far for me personally
at least good old Arch seam to get the maine idea of "if you just enjoy your sellf and no harm is done who cares"
That is the idea, you do you and I do me. BUT there is that very vocal component of that crowd that draws the ire of every obe else on you.
But yeah, furries are mostly just an easy target due to the suit thing. Better to just keep low profile with own fetishes and let others be on their own.
The Vault uniform on display at these conventions says all you need to know about the new Fallout show
How could this possibly be my...?
'Sees BBC'
Oh. Well still not my tax money, given how I am an entire ocean away from Airstrip 1 (thank god.), but I still feel the sentiment.
Not your tax money......
If you mean you are from Dumbfuckistan, then you did pay through USAIDS. If you mean you're from the prison colony, fair enough, you are in fact in the clear.
We all know us tax dollars directly fund the BBC at this point.
Yeah it was swindled from us too
8% of the BBC's funding was US tax dollars, so yes, it was your tax dollars.
There is plenty of stories of DEI invading a furcon's event and panels with POC requirements.
DEI infects a fandom. Kicks everyone out. The infected thing withers and nearly dies...
DEI uses its new stolen gains from the last infected community and follows where they fled to.
While I may not care for them... I do fear where the fans shall flee too... And where the loonies will chase after them to infest.
So the BBC is saying being a furry is more popular than superhero yeah it's hard to take the BBC seriously these days.
Yeah I don’t use being a furry as my identity, I like being a furry but I don’t make it everything about me
I remember a time where Furries actually helped people & did good charity work... but those days are near-completely gone with the level of degeneracy and self-centered attitudes coming from the fandom... need I mention what happened between a California convention and a particular mime cosplayer?
Dude, the furry fandom has always been like that since the beginning. I can show you photos of the first fursuiters wearing bondage gear in public.
You mean Bomb Voyage? Saw him at FWA '24. First time at a con and it was wild.
@Princess_Celestia_ There were outliners, yes... but the sentiment of the 2000s was much more appropriate. Look at the fandom between 2005-2015... that was it's golden era. Now it's gone to pot.
Also, with that pfp, it's not a smart idea to cast stones at other fandoms... remember why the Brony fandom nearly devolved itself?
@@DeathknightDragon Yes, regardless of what the internet-ridden furries say, he's a great guy.
I don't feel like I'm wearing a superhero cape...
They pretty much started pretending it wasn't a fetish thing around the same time they started pushing for furry acceptance in schools. Jus' sayin'...
A faustian bargain was made with pride events for free publicity basically and then the horny side just completely subsumed the entire subculture which then led to the overlapping school acceptance campaigns.
No they didn't, might look like that if you've only been online for a decade or so but those of us who've been around longer remember. Furries pretty much kept to themselves until about 2003 when CSI aired an episode that had a furry character in it, and from then on, the community had to do damage control. It had its 18+ side the same way anime does but it also had always had its non 18+ side.
Friendly reminder that loli shota and furry is the same shit but different side of the coin
Loli oppai is the good loli (IMO)
"Its not what it is about"
Funny I remember in the 2000s seeing the 4Chan posting of the flowcharts that attendees of such events would create in order to spread the gifts that keep on giving (STDs), and recently the memes about hallway pizzas, and the turn towards full leather strap setups for having fun events with harnesses.
You might not think it is about extreme fetishes, however you do nothing to PREVENT the extreme degenerates from operating in the same spaces as people who are basically doing far more elaborate cosplay.
I am a furry and I am so ashamed by this crap. So many times I have complained on how "members" are dressing in public (like adult men going around in skimpy school uniforms(without fursuit)). The rule should be simple: if you cannot wear it at work than don't wear it on conventions/in public. Most furries don't care about this alphabet crap but the rainbow has infiltrated the fandom and now speaks loudly for the majority even so they are just a minority. Normal furry enjoyers either leave or are getting bullied out of the fandom. Jeez every fandom these days turns woke and degenerate.
That's the worst part is the bullying I hate how they try to attack people who welcome them with open arms. It sorta means being so open the fandom let in its own destroyers basically is how I see it. It sucks to because there are so many chill furries I know and a lot of crossover with anime my other favorite genre but it's like the small group of progressives can't let anyone have any fun and attack anyone who step out of line or don't have approved opinions
@@brendonbewersdorf986 true
Its funny how "fetish" has basically become an evil word, even when its being applied appropriately as if people believe that their own sexual obsessions somehow aren't sexual or that implying that its "only sexual" demeans it
the whole identity thing used to make sense because of the whole persecution thing but now that we are heavily merged with the rainbow crowd stuff gets weird.
'Like Wearing A Superhero Cape' eh? Well that sure explains a lot about the state of Marvel and DC...
Someone got caught comissioning some "art" and is desperate to gaslight everybody before his friends mock him to death
"Nobody cared who I was until I put on the suit"
It's like wearing a superhero cape:
Your parents will say they're proud of you while the other kids call you slurs.
Things like this are why I call myself a false furry.
There are some words missing from the title, it should be "Being a Furry is like wearing a superhero cape to your job at the bank, and you are 46."
True.
Well if they are talking about the old days of comic cons......well as someone who went to dragon con in the early 2000s it could probably be classified as a fettish event. Specially the vampire the masquerade players.
“And somehow American money too.. ”
Yeah we’re done with that, good luck EU
Of all the things the left had to infiltrate, it didn't bother with the furrier ones...
Instead; Star Wars, Star Trek, LOTR, and all the fun fandoms are targeted instead.
This world wants me to suffer...😑
Oh, they are heavily infiltrated too. It's just harder to spot the pink and green hair among all the fursuits.
If anything the furries were infiltrated by the other end of the extreme spectrum. There are an awful lot of furries in uniforms posing before a certain 30s era German flag...
Furries can be some of the wokest loonies you've ever seen. The furry fandom has been totally hijacked by radical leftists for the past decade.
Blatantly untrue. It was actually fine to be a conservative furry before. But after about 2012, the progressives started to get a foothold and now the furry fandom is a terrible progressive hellscape. They infiltrated everywhere.
What are you talking about. Furaffinity has a BLM section. Leftists are rampant.
"Prefers not to reveal HUMAN identity". Claims it's not a fetish. Cosplayers aren't scared to reveal who they are, while you hide. Sure, it's not a fetish.
I think the anthro girl characters depicted in furry art are often hot, and would be all over them if they existed IRL. But I don't get the fursuit thing.
Whats the point of dressing up a Cindarella? Answer that and you have the answer why furries exist. Its cosplay.
