The Furry Fandom
For thousands of years, peoples of all cultures have given human characteristics to animals as part of their stories, legends, and myths. In only the past twenty years, the furry fandom, those who have an admiration for this kind of storytelling has gained recognition as a distinct fandom. It is a group that crosses all cultures, all races, all creeds, as it shares a mutual love for these legendary animals that may be a windows into our own souls.
Furry or anthropomorphic fans come from all walks of life, from artists to scientists to accountants. Many may see this as a group that hasn't quite grown up or just plain odd, liking cute funny animals, yet these cute funny animals are a part of our everyday life. One can see them in stories, TV, cartoons, commercials, as mascots of sports teams, examples too numerous to name. We even give our pets humanity, talking to them and hoping they will answer back. Furries aren't just for kids. Just ask those great animation directors such as Chuck Jones and Bob Clampett at Warner Bros. Studios in the 1930's and 1940's. Their cartoons weren't meant for the kiddies. They were films aimed at adults. They used satire and complex humor, along with a generous sprinkling of slapstick. Today's furry fan has never forgotten those great animal actors.
Most furry fans would be considered an offshoot of the sci-fi, fantasy, and Anime movements, but sadly, the media has made it a pet project to show all furries as weird and a touch deviant. As the Furry fandom had its roots on the free-wheeling West Coast of the US and the tolerant art community , this sub-culture gained a bad reputation with the public, not helped by mainstream media portrayals of so-called curious behavior on cable outlets such as MTV or in magazines or most recently, on the critically-acclaimed CBS series, CSI.
Despite the overly hyped Hollywood image, the Furry fandom has endured, living through the stares and whispers of the public and the severe scrutiny of the press. Furry fans are artists, animators, scientists, computer programmers, actors, puppeteers, storytellers, writers, etc, average people doing average things during their daily lives. Even, many furries are Christian, yet they are creative and imaginative people that think the world may be a little better if animals could walk and talk as humans do. As Dr. Samuel Conway (AKA Uncle Kage), a chemist by trade and chair of Anthrocon, the East Coast's largest gathering of anthropomorphic fans, artists, and writers, said in a recent article on the convention's web site:
"If you as an adult still occasionally like to flip to the old cartoons, or have a stuffed animal sitting on the dashboard of your car, or buy cereal because it has a cool tiger on the box, you may well enjoy what our fandom has to offer."
Most of all, anthropomorphic art and writing is not as out of the mainstream as one may think. That person, kid or adult that loves Disney or reads Arthur, who knows, may be a furry.
So seeing as now you konw what i'm ******** deal with it because i dont make fun of you so you sure as hell better not me.
One more thing yes there is furry art that is MA and XXX ... does not mean that it is bad sure i look at it who cares does not mean i'm a bad person or something ...
And NO not in any way does being furry have anything to do with Beastiality or Zoophilla
Beastiality: having sex with animals (forcing them to do it)
Zoophilla: have sex with animals (animals that are will and or want to have sex)
Furry: Role playing animals or being a animal with human characteristics and dressing up as one ...... do you see anything with sex with animals in what i said no so stop ******** accuseing furr of being animal ******** because that is wrong , Sure furrs look at cartoons having sex some times but that is diffrent from Zoophilla or beastiality it is call anthropomorphic art and yes so furr does dress up like animals and have sex .... Not have sex with animals Role playing animals in a human ways but with some animal ways too like licking,purring,bitting,murring, and othere things like that ..... you know so people do that and they are not even furrs so see there is nothing worng with it
And Damm Proud Of It
