Do furries lack a leader?
12 years ago
First of all sorry for posting 2 journals in one day I'm just bored babysitting and an idea popped into my head and that is that every other fandom that I know of has some form of leader or group of leaders that either created or controls the fandom, the MLP fandom came from a show and there are a handful of artists and bloggers that seem to be at the forefront of the fandom, the homestuck fandom have the comic's creator and so on and so forth but as far as I've seen furries don't have that kind of person to follow
It seems to me that furries are they're own leaders there are so many break-off groups web-comics, parallel universes, styles and ideas that it's hard to even group furries together at all but yet we all find ourselves under one roof which when you think about it is pretty awesome no other fandom is as diverse or all-encompassing as the furry fandom is and that makes me really happy to be a part of it . Or perhaps I'm wrong and there is another fandom like the furry fandom that I've skipped over but until I'm proved wrong I am going to call my fandom the most diverse interesting and complex one in existence?
But what did you think? Did I skip over a fandom or are we really the most awesome?

I'll make an attempt at answering your question, I agree that we don't have a set leader. I would think that there are some people who are "leaders" in a sense, I think some people would say Uncle Kage, Blotch, or Mixed Candy (to mention a few prominent people from different areas of the fandom) or other big personalities in the fandom, but I wouldn't personally call them leaders. I actually enjoy the idea that we don't have a set leader, furries are more amorphous in that sense because we encompass so many different mediums, like you mention art, comics, fursuits, etc. I think we are better off for not having one set leader.

Very true I have to agree it makes us unique and in a way a cut above overs because without a leader as you said we can adapt to anything that comes our way
