As important as being a furry might be to you, it's a hobby. You don't "come out" as a sport enthusiast or a model car maker, not saying you can't tell people, but it doesn't have to be a big deal
While this is a fandom, not all outsiders understand it as such - there is a lot of misinformation surrounding it that would make others despise us (rightfully so; rumors alone of animal rape and child molesting, no matter how far-fetched, are a thing sane people are justified in fearing and wanting absolutely nothing to do with), and many have lost friends and family over it, and don't even get me started on the 2014 MFF terrorist attack... Also, even if a furry understands that his peers will accept it, there is also the memories of online and public abuse associated with it that there still remains in the back of their heads an irrational fear of judgement. This is certainly a phobia - no fact or reason behind it - but the subconscious "danger" effect is still there and it can make telling others about their hobby very difficult.
True - another problem. This started as a mostly liberal idea - nothing wrong with that given the focus on acceptance and the arts, but this general leaning has evolved with the party itself and produced a sort of far-Left echo chamber. I saw the other comment too. I never said the outside world would accept us, and I've come to accept that fact. The thing about child molesting and such I understand now with new information - it's bad, no two ways about it. I heard of the Rainfurrest thing too - completely understandable why folks think we're all nutjobs, and I can begin to see why folks have this thing against furries. Personally, I have no reason to wear a fursuit (I'm really more of a car guy), and this solution is simple, but a lot of furs lack this common sense. Like I said, I can understand why the outside hates us and it's more understandable with new information. Yeah, nobody has to tell others about it, and I've done perfectly well keeping it to myself.
tbh wearing a tail in public doesnt give that many bad reactions(from my personal experience, maybe others differ), most people think its cute or laugh so idk ive never had a bad experience with that. A lot of people are just curious why I do it and I just tell them its for fun, so why not and they are like alrighty cool. I mean you probably dont want to wear it to work lmao or anywhere really professional, but I wear sometimes in public and to college classes.
tecdog15 yesss I'm a young fur though and to be honest I was going to keep it a secret untill I found my little sister telling my mom what furries are that that we are furries so technically I didn't even tell my parents xD
Nice to hear that. I don`t actually follow any other furry channels than yours. xD I just find your character`s saltiness and sarcastic personality hilarious lmao You can see some of my artworks here: meokami.deviantart.com/gallery/ it`s refreshing to sometimes just draw fanart
The first point in the video. My parents, my grandparents, really none of my family knows I'm a furry other than them seeing my SFW artwork that features anthros, even then they don't fully know I'm a furry. I've never told him, I've never needed to tell them, they don't need to know. The only people that know, is my spouse and he IS a furry also, and my friends that are furries, that be it. Being a furry is like being a fan of a video game or a show. People don't NEED to know but if it seems like they may enjoy it too, then share with them and find out.
It's like for my first furry con I want to last year, I wore a comic suit the whole time and love it as I was myself and did know no anyone before going to the con but, had a lot of fun at it.
How to survive... Stay away from the porn and adult stuff, otherwise one day you'll find yourself so ashamed you'll quit the Fandom. I've seen it happen many times. Learn to appreciate the clean side of the Fandom and you'll get to keep it.
"Coming out as a furry" is very situational. It's a part of who you are and you "come out" to people who you are close with and want to understand who you are. I'm a queer furry who wants to be accepted, and being accepted as pansexual is just as important as being accepted for being a furry for me (Not to mention my whole gender situation). You just want to be yourself and have people still be cool with your weird preferences. So far I've come out as many things to many people, and they were fine with everything from my sexuality, to my gender, to my desire to dress up a a fox. Point is, coming out as an animal cosplayer is hard.
Being a furry is a *_HOBBY_* while yes it can be a very involved hobby, it's a hobby nonetheless. You wouldn't come out as a bookworm or an otaku, just like you shouldn't "come out" as a furry. I came out to my parents as pansexual years ago cause that's an intrinsic part of me that will affect who I may fall in love with and how it could differ from what they imagined. I simply talked about wanting to go to furlandia and other furry stuff with them later on when it was relevant cause just like my brothers love of video games, it's a hobby.
How to survive in the furry fandom? The anzwer is, lots and lots of booze! If you are wasted enough on booze you won't care that you are talking to a dog on the internet.
I just discovered you and this is the second of your videos I have watched. I really love your amazing voice in your videos. Is that what your voice naturally sounds like? If that is your real voice I bet you attract a lot of people with it.
Thanks so much for making this Artemus as that is a heaps funny video you made as educational. Love it. Especially with that annoying human character adds more to the entertainment value. lol.
my boss found out I was a furry then started asking me about what it was about because she had heard about it a long time ago and was interested in what it is, but still that was goddamn awkward to explain. Also on a patriotic note I'm a USA fur but your awesome Artemis
I had to tell my parents because they kept asking me why I was drawing anthro animals. Lucky they didn't know what furries are so they are chill. Also the only thing in my life really based around furries is my channel profile picture because I don't draw as much anymore.
My mum asked me why do I want faux fur for Christmas... I told her I was a furry and I wanted to try and make part of my "fursona". *She looked at me and said "Not my child. Oh hell naw."*
well uhhh what do you do if your friend doesn't like furries since my friend said "would you rather punch a Gucci gang member or a furry" and I just felt really awkward since I a one .-.
i didnt ask for free art but i got some. the conversation on facebook went something like this person: so your pretty new to the fandom right? Me: yeah Person:do you hvae a ref sheet yet? Me: not finished yet. Person: describe your fursona to me. Me: {describes my sona} 2 WEEKS LATER Person: heres some are
Ways to get free art: Somebody offering free art Raffles Become famous Get into closed species and offer your oc up for gift art (I got 2 pieces of art of my chimereon within the day it was approved XD)
Orang Artemis which foot is just about as funny but not as quite as funny as George Carlin's they both speak the truth and it's funny on how they do it and a lot of times after work playing World War on COD I need a laugh so I will watch Artemis and I will also watch George Carlin's even though in George is dead I still watch the shows
5:09 look in the bottom left is that a base... so people can ship themselves with artemis? why would you ship yourself with a real person? draw your own cartoon dog to be shipped with.
Your lucky the uk fandom over there is big because over here in Shitralia, im banned from every Australian convention, furries are not always the nice accepting people they make out.
Finally, a furry who's not super cringy and is actually entertaining to watch XD
Also that voice... Moockluck? 0__0
nintendo917 you're still the cringiest fucking commentet
Or they're both sick.
In my opinion, he sounds like Murdoc (from Gorillaz) xD

The sound is messed up. All i hear is BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK
Also good advice for surviving in the normal world

I told my mom I'm a furry and now she's getting me a tail for Christmas xD
Good for you!!
still though it's bad to tell your parents if you know they are going to hate you
I told my parents and now they don't trust me with my phone...
tecdog15 I'm sorry to hear that .-.
tecdog15 yesss I'm a young fur though and to be honest I was going to keep it a secret untill I found my little sister telling my mom what furries are that that we are furries so technically I didn't even tell my parents xD
Good video. People need to learn not to get triggered by words and pictures on a screen.
This offends me!
Wow amazing fallout 3 dlc content
Would it be okay to draw some fanart of your character? ^^
i would be honoured heheh
Nice to hear that.
I don`t actually follow any other furry channels than yours. xD I just find your character`s saltiness and sarcastic personality hilarious lmao
You can see some of my artworks here: meokami.deviantart.com/gallery/
it`s refreshing to sometimes just draw fanart
Eeva Tötterström I agree :D
What sort of fan art? Artemis tied up and tickled? :P
NightWolf i'm not into that sorta stuff xD
You speak your mind on the internet without being afraid of triggerd people....you.....I like you
I have my ways of surviving in the Furry Fandom.
You a popular furry in the fandom? Hide, hide in the darkness...
Step one: *_DON’T_*
Human Ratteler I read that in his voice and it was perfect XD
I love the way you play your character! Is this your real voice though?
*10 Questions Science still can't explain*
Check out his video on Living With Artemis... The other person with the hat is him.
The first point in the video.

I was watching curse of the black pearl...how convenient you used that as a thumbnail
As soon as I heard *LIL FUCKERS* I subscribed
chasing after the short bus is the best way to describe this fandom. you never truly have friends just orbiters.
Thank you for making this xD
It's like for my first furry con I want to last year, I wore a comic suit the whole time and love it as I was myself and did know no anyone before going to the con but, had a lot of fun at it.
I got liquored up and went on about being a lion at a friend's house, and argued who was best husbando. God I was drunk
Anyone has link to picture with Artemis hugging "you"? It's so cute ^^
Furries are frowned upon where I live, but I don't give a fuck, I'm a furry
Oh my god. I found your channel through youtube suggestions have been going back through your videos. I absolutely love your content. Keep it up!!

@4:19 who is the black (wolf?) furry at the top right with the scar?
I think his name was "تدرك فيها أن الله معك دائمًا وأنه"
@@anaig9599 that doesn't tell me anything
Thanks for this one goingn to my first event later in the year and your advice is great. Loved thedid about not reling on one group of people
So I must say you reminded me Eddie Izzard. It's got me rolling.
2 big thumbs up. Keep up the amazing work

I love him! I always look forward to new videos! 👏👏👏
#3 sounds like me in every open world RPGs ever "What was I supposed to do again?"
in getting my character badge commission this month. :3 TFF is going to be my first con.

My personal recommendation is to never make a twitter account.
3:53 the most Canadian thing
Everyone's a bahstuhd or a fuckuh! I'm leaving the fandom!
5 minutes later: *comes back*
What is the intro and outro music?
just gotta ask, what type of dog is Artimis? I've always been curious to find out :)
Don't say triggered. Saying triggered even ironically is just as cringey as saying it unironically.
New here. Looks like your channel is blowing up. Keep up the good work!
my boss found out I was a furry then started asking me about what it was about because she had heard about it a long time ago and was interested in what it is, but still that was goddamn awkward to explain. Also on a patriotic note I'm a USA fur but your awesome Artemis

Hi there, Artemis! You posted an awesome and rather informative video! Keep up the great work!
Artemis I fucking love you dude. Funniest furry. Keep it up xD
I mean. I came out to my parents (didn’t mind), FULLY joined the fandom, and said “fuck it” and made my ref sheet my phone BG
The fuck did this come up from memes and shit and why am I watching this but hey pretty good vid
Inexhaustible Austrian okay well shit I dunno what to do then but I just want to know why so much hate for the furrys
Inexhaustible Austrian and no I'm not a furry I think
Calm its just a gamer yeah you are a furry
im dying inside
and im very quiet
*THIS IS GONNA WORK*
Your outro is satisfying to watch high
Omg thanks for the info on servival. But where's my good 🐕 so I can give him a nice cup of Yorkshire tea
How do i leave it
That voice...it's Rick from the TV Show with a fursuit ! Well done hiding the burps in post. ;)
I have to say this, i love his personality, attitude and voice lol.
This is great. Definitely a member of the fandoms upper crust. Cheers.
Wow, I must be a furry survivalist after seeing this
Where did you get your asexual t shirt I'm a fellow asexual and i need to get me one
Not gonna lie. Legit got a jump off of the ko-fi at the end xD
Do not be worry about views or subscribers but most importantly subscribe to Artemis Wishfoot
You tell it how it is and I love it
I just realized you look like that one dog guy from wizard101 that teaches you that like balance magic or what ever.
Loved your scottish accent, by the way.
well uhhh what do you do if your friend doesn't like furries since my friend said "would you rather punch a Gucci gang member or a furry" and I just felt really awkward since I a one .-.
I cried laughing at 9:00 - 9:04
hey artemis :O have you ever chased a cat? if yes did you catch it?
i didnt ask for free art but i got some. the conversation on facebook went something like this person: so your pretty new to the fandom right? Me: yeah Person:do you hvae a ref sheet yet?

Are you on furry amino?
What is drugs?
murrsuiters are the nicest people i've met in the fandom and playing reverse strip poker with them is fun
Captain Heat okay here's a question how do you play Reverse strip poker
cgriggsiv you all start naked and put on more fursuit parts as you lose. the one wich loses gets to be the sub of everyone playing while in fursuit
@@captainheat2314
XU Fucking hell....
Hol up
@@galaxeeb.8912 Yeah, that doesn't sound too nice.
Jesus christ when I first subbed you were at 5k youll be a 10k in no time defiantly an up and comer. Majira who?
Ways to get free art:
Somebody offering free art
Raffles
Become famous
Get into closed species and offer your oc up for gift art (I got 2 pieces of art of my chimereon within the day it was approved XD)
Artemis you may swear a s*** ton but you are funny as f***
Oi! Watch your f***ing mouth! No God d**n cussing! B***h!

We need a video of everytime he swears.
When you say the first word that’s furry related, you won’t survive long
Is that your actual voice or furry voice

How To Survive In The Furry Fandom With Bacon.
Who is that scary human in your videos? XD
Varjokani his "owner"
Hehe. I kinda should have quessed it. :3
I don't think I've ever related so much to another furry in my life before jfc
I can imagine that voice hurt at first lol
Wat is a basic fur?
5:09
look in the bottom left
is that a base...
so people can ship themselves with artemis?
why would you ship yourself with a real person? draw your own cartoon dog to be shipped with.
It's just a fucking hug calm down.
Yea... Too real dude!
For real though, some excellent advice!
I needed this XD
Am I the only one that actually watches the video before commenting, regardless of how early I am?
omg xD
..same...
Definitely need survival tips for this fandom
Still my favourite furry you tuber
