WTF?!

edit (cause Edit didn't work!): Ok, that WAS last year, and I was not feeling well during part of the convention, so that explains how I didn't see them or any news crews of any sort. But still, if I had known they were there.. well I probably still wouldn't have left my room, to be honest. Most furries know to avoid media of all sorts no matter what, leaving that to the professionals who know how they think. Obviously some people at FE don't know any better, but frankly with the kind of information they gathered (and the intent going in there) I'm surprised it didn't go a lot worse than it did! All in all we're lucky it turned out how it did.

I don't have much of an opinion on it other than I thought it was funny how they used a cutesy picture and then wrote "whether they really have sex in [the animal costumes]".

Doesn't seem to fit but i think the words the author wrote were pretty nice.

Yeh. They didn't do the best job of not making readers think we're perverts, but at least at the end they called out everyone as equally perverts. XD

(Also my initial WTF was because I had no idea there was any sort of a news crew there. More of a "when and where was this?" wtf.)

=0

:D

Actually.. this article was very well written!

Thank you for sharing it, Amico.. And looking as cute as ever in that photo I see.. haha..

It's a tough job but somebody's gotta do it :P

Haha! True, true!

Were there really more than 900 people there last year?

Umm yeah! I think so :)

You are a gentleman and a scholar

LOL. I can't believe she brought mace XD Too bad she didn't interview you. That would have been cool.

And she tried on a fursuit head too? It's only a matter of time until she becomes one of us!!!

Honestly I had no idea there was a journalist there taking the picture until I saw this article. And I'd be too shy for an interview I think.

I actually enjoyed the article myself!

Ditto :3

“As an academic, I was surprised to find that no one had studied the phenomenon. ”

I think I'll write her a letter about the fandom's own Dr. Nuka ^.^ Not to mention all the other researchers doing research on the furry fandom.
