American Furry: Life, Liberty, and the Fursuit of Happiness.

November 3, 2007 8:24am

Wow. I noticed you haven't managed to interview a single furry that wasn't mentally unhinged, socially inept, or had an ego the size of a planet.

This whole project smells like yet another personal attack on a bunch of people who don't hurt anybody, who aren't trying to 'spread the gospel' and cram their beliefs down the throats of innocent bystanders, and who generally just want to be left alone.

Quite frankly I'm disappointed you couldn't even dig up at least one or two fat people to talk in excruciating detail about their sex life too.

Why is it always the fringe elements that are pulled into the spotlight when people do these "omg exposé of the furries!!11!" ?

Are normal furries just too boring? Are you afraid that viewers won't be sufficiently shocked and appalled if you show fursuiters that lead a normal, successful life?

The VAST majority of furries see the fandom as a hobby or an interest or a place to meet like-minded people. It's a tiny, tiny percentage that are so obsessed with spirituality that they think they're really lions or werewolves, or that they were a dragon in a previous life.
And I'll bet you anything that percentage is much smaller than the amount of non-furries who think they're aliens or have been abducted and impregnated by 'em.

It's such a typical media angle to take on the subject. "Oh golly gee, there's a group of people here and some of them are weirdoes!"
Yes, but that's true for any group of people in the entire world you care to mention. What's your point?

There's a grand total of THREE people in the fandom crazy enough to get furry tattoos on their faces and whiskers surgically implanted, and guess what.. furries think they're freaks too!

You people should be ashamed.
