I have never seen a non-furry who’s a large creator go into a genuine, well-researched explanation and *defense* of furries like this. It’s so refreshing to see someone actually take the time to understand the community rather than just slap a fursuiter in their thumbnail for cringe clickbait. Massive props to Kurtis for this one, ESPECIALLY for owning up to his previous view on furries. We need more non-furries like this.
Agreed, furries, not cringe at all. Love 'em. But some individuals, they can be cringe. Can't just umbrella hate all of them though, just because a few people are weird.
I’ve been watching by Kurtis for years, and even I could have never predicted that he could have had such a completely accurate view of furries. This video was a breath of fresh air, and I’m so glad that he decided to make it.
So my class found out that I’m a furry like a week ago and some people didn’t know what a furry was so eventually we made a giant watch party of 16 class mates and watched this video together. It was embarrassing at first but I was genuently surprised over the large positive reaction and even when I knew that some people didn’t like furries that much they didn’t bother me at all. In the end it was just a giant relief and I can finally draw all the furry characters in my class without being scared that someone sees that.
I love how when any ‘celebrity’ is suspected of being a furry everyone taunts them and the fandom does the whole “One of us, One of us”. But with ninja it’s “oh god I hope not.”
After watching multiple people “react” to furries, I’ve only just now realized they always find the most poorly made fursuits or lowest quality photos to use as reference.
Furries being cringe is troll propaganda. The furry fandom is harmless fun. As Slushi from Chikn Nuggit says: "Getting mad at someone for harmless fun, that's the real cringe."
Something being cringeworthy is to someone else is fine, but straight up just being a jerk about it isn’t. People are entitled to there opinions. And we are entitled to disagree and feel how we want about others opinions.
kurtis's video is actually largely the reason i finally admitted to myself that yeah, im probably a furry. its great to see a relatively big youtuber use his platform to help educate people on actual furry history and statistics.
Even if i watched this live on twitch, I still watch these videos on youtube because they're fun. Also love the humor of that dude and hellofresh DID sponsor beta after this
I'm still amazed that somehow Beta knows pretty much every fursuiter by name he has ever been shown Also nice of Beta to second-hand give away a sponsorship
Yeah, I have autism and being a furry is like the best way for me to get out and be social. No joke, I feel more free to be expressive and talk to people.
The fandom saved me from depression. I learned to socialize, to follow my dreams and even found the best girl God has ever created. I have NO regrets and I DONT CARE if someone makes fun of me. EDIT:...she....is no longer with us....
i am/was idk if it changed depressed to and it saved me from killing myself. I am SO happy for you that you found someone to love and respect. stay happy and lots of snuggles -Thatfloofie
As someone with social anxiety, this is a great hobby that I got into. I can go into a suit without people seeing me and with a lot of other nerds like me. It’s great. I live being around people that are like me and won’t judge the things I like.
I have a friend who hates furries for no apparent reason, every time I ask him why he just says “cause they’re cringe” and refuses to elaborate. I’ve never really minded furries, they keep to themselves a lot and just do what they want to do, which I think is perfectly fine. I’ll never understand why they’re so hated.
I used to think furries were cringe (like 5 years ago or so) because of the way people talked about them and the way social media described them. I decided to get on amino and meet furries to have fun and troll them but surprisingly (to younger me) they were very respectful and sweet and they did it for fun and as a form of art, so yeah that changed my whole persecutive and made me understand them more. i am not one but I totally respect them and don’t think they are cringe at all (except the weird part which is in every fandom)
I am actually from brazil and oh my ducking god the desinformation about furries here is just mind blowing. One day i was at school finishing to draw my protogen and a classmate just looked on my phone and asked what i was drawing, so i just zoomed out and he just screamed AH HELL NAW HES A FURRY and then some other friends looked over and they asked what is a furry and he just said (what i remember was something like this ) "furries are people that kill animals to use their carcass to wear them in public" i was just like wtf, because i tought that he was playing with me, i asked "really" and he said "yeah" i was just soo confused because i did not belive that he was serious, to this day im still scared to say to any friend that im a furry, only to the ones that i fully belive in Answering your questions:
Like he say it's probably that our first encounter with furries can make a great impact in our entire idea of them, but if you see the really good side of the fandom, that idea can change radically like watching Telephone's videos (She is really awesome and pure) also I notice that hello fresh is really using that furrybait very well
I watched this Kurtis video with my dad, we're both huge fans, and I was so happy he made a video that didn't trash furries, I haven't told him I'm one yet, but hopefully it made him more accepting
As a autistic person the thing about us is true for me personally!! The furry fandom helps me a lot with my autism and many other things in my life like being trans! (Also Curtis is one of my absolute favorites I highly suggest him he’s so damn funny- I actually lost my mind in the middle of school when I saw you watched his video)
As someone who's loved watching Kutris Connor and as a furry I completely forgot he made this video until now, and I'm surprised how accurate he described the fandom and all the research he actually did on this topic.
As a sufferer of anxiety, especially in social places, the fursuit head really helps with just tuning out a whole lot of the white noise and excess stimuli that comes with going to a convention.
The furry episode of 1000 ways to die was how i found out furries we're a thing 😂 i thought they were bad people from then till college when a furry convention was nearby and I went as a joke with a friend and now here i am eating my words 😂
As I like to put in the words of Ralph: "Im cringe and thats based. I'll never be based and thats not cringe, because theres noone Id rather be, than me"
bc i have childhood trauma, i struggle to interact w kids and feel extremely uncomfortable being around children. however, being in costumes is a huge buffer that allows me to be able to interact w kids in healthy ways without having extreme discomfort. being neurodivergent and having issues with socialization is also alleviated when i am in costumes, even if i am just wearing a head. it's really great, bc i enjoy conventions, but have struggled in the past interacting w others when i am in a regular costume, rather than one that puts space bw me and others.
its so funny to see someone watching kurtis’s videos for the first time like so many of his jokes are callbacks and i never realized how jarring it can be LOL
As a furry can confirm. I pretend to be a made up fluffy cyborg robot on the internet with people I have never met and probably never will meet. Am cringe. Beep Boop
As a furry who is part of KurtisTown, I am so stoked you saw this video! Kurtis is one of my all time favourite youtubers and he always has the best takes. I was a bit hesitant to watch his video on furries at first because I was worried it would completely change my view on him for the worse but if anything I like him even more now!
I'm pretty sure R.l Stine wasn't calling out the furry community with that book. The monsters are basically lizard people, which has been thought about before furrys.
This is honestly why I love Kurtis Conner, he respects everyone, says some things are actually cringe because they really are, but also agrees with people and is really just a big YTber that's chill with alot of people liking the things that they like- honestly a good man
Ferrari... Fur-rawr-ri! 😂😂 As for the cringe sh-. That just falls into the 10% rule. "10% of people are assholes." 10% of furries, 10% of gun owners, 10% of artists, 10% of *insert anything human related here.*
Honestly, I'm kinda shocked. I saw his video floating around my recommendations a few times, and I hesitated to watch his video. I always get nervous whenever I see a non fur make a video on furries cause you never know what they got to say. Since he also seems to be a well known guy on TH-cam, a lot of people will float to him automatically. I didn't know who Kurtis was prior to seeing this reaction video so I thought his video could either be really good or really bad. The kind of people who'd make a half an hour video of blatantly dragging furries through the mud. Like one of those "THIS is BAD, and here's WHY" type videos. The title and thumbnail to the video didn't give me any confidence either. Happy to say watching Beta react to it had me nodding my head pleasantly surprised by the end. Its good to see more non furs do some research for once before hopping on camera and talking to millions of people. There were so many times during this video were Kurtis would make a point about something that I've always talked about in comment sections and I'd yell at the tv like "THANK YOU!" Especially when he brought up the point of people making cringe compilations that are mostly just people having a genuine wholesome time. Its great to see furries go into depth about the furry fandom to inform others, but its even better when supportive people outside the fandom comes through to genuinely talk about furries and I think Kurtis handled it really well here. Some points he made even I wasn't even aware of. Good on him. I respect that he also touched on some points where he made the distinction of what cringe even is. Like comparing the touchy fox guy at dollar tree, to a furry showing off their fursuit to their supportive parents. Today, people seem to use it as a buzzword to express things they don't like (At least from what I've seen anyway). Unironically throwing the word out like its Halloween candy to the point that it loses all meaning. Pineapple on pizza? CRINGE! Playing games on console? CRINGE! Two fursuiters hanging out together, not bothering anyone and making fun and happy memories? CRINGE! Stuff like that.
Ok so I relate to this guy another, like my adhd allows me to just go on and on about any topic known to mankind but the second I trail off to add some context or something different the conversation just drastically falls down a 400ft hill of which I'm unable to climb back up then my brain just stops and it's like ahhhh wait what was I going on about originally.
I’m telling you; when it’s a video by kurtis Conner, you know it’s gonna be a good video (Asides from that, I love the character development for kurtis, and I recommend watching him! He makes cool and very funny videos.)
We call things 'cringe' because we don't understand the appeal/why they're popular (we as in the people who are chronically online and solely exist just to hate on furries) I used to be a hater, but after opening my third eye (I smoked a joint with a furry, and that was the moment my whole attitude changed.) They're actually pretty chill. We are afraid of what we do not know.
I had the same reaction to the "1000 Ways to Die" episode. Why have I not seen this? That furry orgy may be the funniest "representations" of furries I've seen, but for a second there it really went into "I wish that was me" territory.
I greatly enjoy seeing mainstream creators who speak positively about ‘cringe’ fancultures. I’m not a furry but I am a great supporter for them cuz it takes a lot of effort, money, creativity, and dedication. I just would not be able to handle the sensory overload in the suits lol. I will however….. possibly dabble in fursonas one day 😳✨
14:40 we can go even further down the timeline: Roman legions had a designated guy dressed up as a wolf, since the she-wolf was the symbold of Rome...and Germanic tribes too had warriors donning animal skins to look like them, be it for religious or belligerious endeavours.
@@zomxux Pretty much, it's just a case of "add it to the list of one word 'insults' that mean nothing!" Like, I guess it's supposed to mean "heheh, you're so embarrassing, you must not have a dad!", but like all its counterparts, it lost even *that* much
@@damienearl8302 heh yeah the haters need to recognize that the more they comment on furry posts/videos they’ll just get more furry posts/videos recommended to them
I remember farts actually being flammable. I've heard of people lighting their farts on fire and accidentally burning their own butt. (i'm not the greatest source tho, dont quote me)
I knew a guy who was in the British army medical corps in the 1980s. He told me that they often used to have to treat guys from the local REME unit for rectal burns because they had an initiation ceremony involving jumping over a campfire naked while farting in an attempt to set their farts on fire.
When I heard that many furries are mascots for their school, I remembered the time I accidentally became a volunteer (loosely used term) mascot for an arcade. I had a fursuit that looked like a bunch of stardust spilled onto an animal, so it fit the vibe and people just went with it
I know and love furries and when I saw this video when he uploaded it, my knife Kirby meme was at the ready no matter how much I love Kurtis. and then I watched it and my protective side chilled out because I've seen way too fucking many videos not explaining correctly and making just fun of furries whole sale. his video was so awesome.
watched two videos of yours and i find your content appealing, not a furry anymore but you are really convincing me to get back into it. keep up the grind. ❤❤❤
i mean we are sometimes not all the time it really depends tbh also: love your content beta you never fail to amaze us n make our days n nights even in our darkest times ty
I am a furry and I love his content, I was so happy when I got introduced to him through this video. He is an incredible funny, informative, and genuine youtuber, and i would say they are a diamond in the rough when it comes to youtubers.
As a member of Kurtis Town for several years, I enjoyed the video. Kurtis is such a chill dude. My favorite part of the video was when he said how much he wanted to be Kovu
I fucking love Kurtis, I’ve been watching him for years and I even took a flight to see his Vancouver show in November and it was hilarious! He’s just such an awesome dude
Beta, i personally recommend you to watch the Fredrik knudsen video. It's a very well done documentary on the history of furry fandom and culture. A must see video.
Beta I think I followed you back in 2018 so like five years and it was because I wanted to know more about the fandom thanks for the the informative vids you have done
yeah i really liked his video on it it was a pretty good way to basically say most furries are just people with a hobby you think is weird but doesnt hurt anyone so leave them alone
I didn't know how bad it really was until I got to 8:57, and, based on exactly 1 second of looking at that picture, I went "Is that Zaush?" despite literally never seeing that picture before... I've grown more powerful than you can imagine
I was subbed to curtis for a while, but I had to check this video put when I saw it. It was amazing!!! I was almost about to unsub cuz I thought he would be roasting furries for no reason, but no! This video was awesome, and I'm glad to see it 2nt hand from your video!!
I'm not a furry but I have a lot of friends who are and I just subscribed because it's nice that your channel helps me find some talking points with them without going too far over my head lol 😁
I really like him so I was scared to watch the video because I didn't want to see him talk shit about us but then he was really supportive and it made me like him more
i think this is the best video by a non furry about furries on the internet. there's definitely thousands of people that this was their first real introduction to furries, and it's a good one.
Kurtis Conner's description of a furry was by far, one of the best description of a furry by a non fur imo.

I used to be a hater, but after opening my third eye (I smoked a joint with a furry, and that was the moment my whole attitude changed.)
They're actually pretty chill.
We are afraid of what we do not know.
I had the same reaction to the "1000 Ways to Die" episode. Why have I not seen this?
That furry orgy may be the funniest "representations" of furries I've seen, but for a second there it really went into "I wish that was me" territory.
As a person that hasn't been an anti furry I have absolutely no idea why everyone hates furries
I greatly enjoy seeing mainstream creators who speak positively about ‘cringe’ fancultures. I’m not a furry but I am a great supporter for them cuz it takes a lot of effort, money, creativity, and dedication. I just would not be able to handle the sensory overload in the suits lol.
I will however….. possibly dabble in fursonas one day 😳✨
It makes me so happy that Beta likes Kurtis' content
23:52 I kid you not, I had literally just made a cup of squash, took the first sip, just to spit it out again bc that was too funny
My two favorite TH-camrs in the same video
14:40 we can go even further down the timeline: Roman legions had a designated guy dressed up as a wolf, since the she-wolf was the symbold of Rome...and Germanic tribes too had warriors donning animal skins to look like them, be it for religious or belligerious endeavours.
Yes, yes we are 😂 but sometimes we can be wholesome and cute as well! :D
I've never heard and or seen such Bullshit
Yes we are cringe, but thats part of the fun of being a furry!
Honestly...yeah! It's come to the point where whenever I hear the word "cringe", I see it as "unafraid of being unique"
@@damienearl8302 yeah when they use the word “fatherless”(unless you really are fatherless) it’s not even an insult at this point.
@@zomxux Pretty much, it's just a case of "add it to the list of one word 'insults' that mean nothing!"
Like, I guess it's supposed to mean "heheh, you're so embarrassing, you must not have a dad!", but like all its counterparts, it lost even *that* much
@@damienearl8302 heh yeah the haters need to recognize that the more they comment on furry posts/videos they’ll just get more furry posts/videos recommended to them
Being cringe is a goddamn virtue
I might actually show this to my mom since she is also confused. You’re the best Beta
when it said “what does the fox say?” i got severe ptsd flashbacks
I remember farts actually being flammable. I've heard of people lighting their farts on fire and accidentally burning their own butt. (i'm not the greatest source tho, dont quote me)
Old TH-cam videos lmao
Basically saw that happen in the South Park movie lol
I knew a guy who was in the British army medical corps in the 1980s. He told me that they often used to have to treat guys from the local REME unit for rectal burns because they had an initiation ceremony involving jumping over a campfire naked while farting in an attempt to set their farts on fire.
As soon as that guy said 1000 Ways to Oof, I knew where this was headed. It's one of the handful of eps I remember. Such an odd plot.
Are furries cringe?
Short answer: yes
Long answer: yes, but we don’t care and are having fun.
When I heard that many furries are mascots for their school, I remembered the time I accidentally became a volunteer (loosely used term) mascot for an arcade. I had a fursuit that looked like a bunch of stardust spilled onto an animal, so it fit the vibe and people just went with it
I know and love furries and when I saw this video when he uploaded it, my knife Kirby meme was at the ready no matter how much I love Kurtis.
and then I watched it and my protective side chilled out because I've seen way too fucking many videos not explaining correctly and making just fun of furries whole sale. his video was so awesome.
watched two videos of yours and i find your content appealing, not a furry anymore but you are really convincing me to get back into it. keep up the grind.
❤❤❤
i mean we are sometimes not all the time it really depends tbh
also: love your content beta you never fail to amaze us n make our days n nights even in our darkest times ty
I am a furry and I love his content, I was so happy when I got introduced to him through this video. He is an incredible funny, informative, and genuine youtuber, and i would say they are a diamond in the rough when it comes to youtubers.
I feel like I would get a Ferrari just to make the "furrari" joke
Cringe is like humor. It's subjective
As a member of Kurtis Town for several years, I enjoyed the video. Kurtis is such a chill dude. My favorite part of the video was when he said how much he wanted to be Kovu
I just recently joined the Fandom and a lot of furries gotta work on respecting boundaries.
Finally, a definition of a furry that is actually *neutral* for once!
You would not believe the amount of biased explanations I have seen.
Define "biased".
@@The_B_Button people who say that they did research but only say stuff about one specific negative
I fucking love Kurtis, I’ve been watching him for years and I even took a flight to see his Vancouver show in November and it was hilarious! He’s just such an awesome dude
haha this was so fun to watch, thanks for making great content that actually makes me laugh !! :D
i started singing the wii sports theme and you started dancing my happiness is no longer on this planet
Beta, i personally recommend you to watch the Fredrik knudsen video. It's a very well done documentary on the history of furry fandom and culture. A must see video.
Beta I think I followed you back in 2018 so like five years and it was because I wanted to know more about the fandom thanks for the the informative vids you have done
yeah i really liked his video on it it was a pretty good way to basically say most furries are just people with a hobby you think is weird but doesnt hurt anyone so leave them alone
Thank you beta for introducing me to a new creator :]
I didn't know 80s Weird Al made TH-cam videos
Lol, beta reacting to the ad roll is silly as hell. They might as well sponsor you because you just showed us the whole.
“milwaukee? thats a place?” took me OUT
5:02
i kid you not, a furry dating ad came up at this time stamp, WTF!??!??!?!?!?!??!
I didn't know how bad it really was until I got to 8:57, and, based on exactly 1 second of looking at that picture, I went "Is that Zaush?" despite literally never seeing that picture before... I've grown more powerful than you can imagine
That one episode actually was my introduction to the fandom, it was kinda weird and decided to look it up on the internet aaand I ended up being GAY
been a fan of kurtis for like a little over a year now and hes honestly the most chill and understanding guy ive seen
Nah man we’re 100% cringe and owning it
I wasn't expecting his description fully accurate, but I was still surprised by the accuracy.
Finally I can introduce my mom the proper way to furry’s and how to explain them, thanks Beta!!!!
I was subbed to curtis for a while, but I had to check this video put when I saw it. It was amazing!!! I was almost about to unsub cuz I thought he would be roasting furries for no reason, but no! This video was awesome, and I'm glad to see it 2nt hand from your video!!
I watched him for a long time, and right when I started to get curious about furries again he posted that n I was like “this is a sign”
I think Milwaukee's a tool brand and they just named the place after the tools LOL XD
18:00 as a former dollar tree employee i’d be like “oh thats dollar tree for ya”. i loved working there because it was choas. i thrive in choas
If the vikings were furrys then ever since the dawn of humanity there was always a furry they just didn't know it.
I'm not a furry but I have a lot of friends who are and I just subscribed because it's nice that your channel helps me find some talking points with them without going too far over my head lol 😁
You can't have fun anymore without being told you're cringe... :(
-Anyway back to fursuit making.
Ew wtf why would I say this I don't even remember posting this comment 💀
I really like him so I was scared to watch the video because I didn't want to see him talk shit about us but then he was really supportive and it made me like him more
everyone is cringe no matter what :)
I love how chaotic and unhinged he is, even while giving literal academic information like... wtf but also thanks?😭
I think youtube is starting to convince me to became a furry. Idk the costumes are so cute

@@mrshlmusic does drawing myself as a cat because I lack talent to drawn a human figure counts?
@@brendaaraujo9231 I’d say so yeah.
It all just revolves around anthro animals doing human stuff
i think this is the best video by a non furry about furries on the internet. there's definitely thousands of people that this was their first real introduction to furries, and it's a good one.
Yeah, I'm autistic and I think it's more common than people think for neurodivergents to be furries.
I second this.
I like kurtis’s definition of furry is pretty good, from a furry, from a not furry. It’s very good and well explained.
