one of the things i think is really overlooked about youtube is the incredible plasticity of the niche things u can learn about on it. yea netflix/cable can give me all 4 seasons of arrested development but can they give me a 13 minute 29 second video on the rise and fall of the beanie baby market manufactured by its morally corrupt corporate overlord and then shower me with videos on related subjects below??? for free, none the less?? i think not
They’re not wrong you guys are just mean/the loudest minority of Furry culture is the worst and is not representative of furries as a whole
I’m adding, yall remember when people tried to GAS a hotel of furries.
Yall remember how most of them are harmless doofs that just wanna have fun and raise money for charity.
Yall remember how at Genericon IN MY STATE a bunch of furries at the rave stopped COLLEGE STUDENTS FROM THE CAMPUS FROM KIDNAPPING MINORS FROM SAID CONVENTION
Look there’s a lot of bad parts, that’s unavoidable with a Fandom that massive, but there’s a lot of good too and we need to stop judging fandoms by their worst.
Preach
They also pay fairly for commission work, support art and artists, and have taken concrete measures, far more than many other subcultures, to aggressively eject neo-nazis from their community.
I mean, I don’t have to like or understand the sexual component, but it’s also none of my business. So I’m cool with them on the basis of that other stuff.
Dude, my experiences with the furry community have been pretty awesome. I had no idea what a furry was until I launched a comic (Blue Crash Kit) about a trio of polyfidelitous talking animal superheroes, but furries became our core fan base, and although of course there was the odd fash or pervert, most of them were incredibly nice, welcoming, and supportive people. I may not be a furry myself, but I felt very welcomed by the community.
(I am preparing to RE-launch the comic, in fact, because I still get the occasional email asking me to, and I feel I owe it to the fans. )
