So, heh, I was browsing Reddit tonight and found this: http://theirtoys.com/sexblog/8-biza.....-fetishes.html I always like reading these things because I secretly hope that they'll mention my own fetishes. Well, hey, there's an entry for furries! And a video full of representative examples! And, uhm, the second picture is one of mine. Huh.
I mean, uhm. It's not like I'm all AAARGH COPYRIGHT, I'm just uh ... inordinately shy. Heh. Realizing that one of my pictures is one step away from internet mainstream is a weird feeling. At least it was fairly clean. And I'm left feeling relieved that this guy didn't actually credit any of the artists in the video, heh.
ALSO!! Apparently two satellites collided in orbit over Russia today. http://science.slashdot.org/article...../02/11/2318226 I was kinda joking about this at first, like, heh, what are the odds? But this could be the start of an ablation cascade which could potentially destroy every satellite currently in orbit and make space flight nearly impossible for generations to come. Scary thought.

I find that disturbing, slightly. Guess its better than necrophilia.
Huzzah, I'm not the only one!
You will go down through the ages as a pervert in the eyes of "normal" people
Skrew them
I would DIE. In an inferno of my OWN CREATION. I mean, seriously, I'm planning on wearing shorts today, and I live in New England.
(it also doesn't hurt that it's been in the 50's this week.)
Does that make me a threat now? :)
- "As a long standing member of the furry community I must object to your generalization that “Most furry fetishists enjoy dressing up as animal characters while engaging in sexual acts, or engaging in sexual acts with stuffed animals.” That’s like saying most obese people have cupcakes for breakfast or that people that own red cars drive like maniacs.
Though some folks in the furry fandom might partake of such activities, speaking from experience, most of us actually do not have sex in fursuits or with plushies. This is a myth propagated by the media to sensationalize their articles."
You didn't by any chance read the 'MythAdventures' when you were young, did you ?

I still read them to this day
I actually go by the name Skeezard or Skee now, but this account is pretty old
I wish the fur that made the video (and one on furry boys) posted what the actual song names were, i really like the music! XD
Hmmmmn...
As a rational bisexual who just happened to watch a lot of cartoons in the 90's (Half of everything was furry back then!) I'd like to clarify that it is not the fursuiters, plushophiles, etc. that I have problems with... it's the dumbasses who agree to interviews with the media and TRY to make us all look bad. Really. Thanks for including me in that, random interview-accepting jackasses of the community.
And hey, tough break, ZC. Now that someone put some of your art in an article like that, you get to live with the fear of someone recognizing your style if you try to sketch something in public. Or at least, I'd be afraid of that if I was in your shoes. But I'm paranoid like that.
Ehh, I'm too self-conscious to draw in public anyway.
The way they stereotype the furry fandom has got to be worse than any other fandom in existence. We're too broad a fandom to be equated solely to a collection of rare sexual fetishes. I mean, like I said, like half the cartoons on air in the 90s were furry. And so the media wants people to think that everyone who watches Darkwing Duck or the Thundercats is automatically some sexual deviant? Isn't that like saying everyone who watches Star Trek gets married in klingon makeup and language at a convention?
