rant on Zootopia porn flamers
10 years ago
Yes, we all know we've gone though this same debate for decades and it isn't like furries haven't drawn animal porn of each and every Disney movie ever.
But fandom draws new furries all the time so this needs to be explained to them over and over again.
First let's douse the flaming furries first: if you are a SFW furry you don't get to dictate what NSFW furries do! Just like any other fandom this one especially consists of free individuals who do what they like regardless of what everybody else thinks of them. In fact that is one of the defining characterics of being a furry. If we cared for what the world thinks of us, this fandom would be something completely different.
You cannot pander to the general public without giving up everything. There is and never will be a 'moment to shine' for furries. We will always be freaks, weardos, outcasts. The day we start to hide and mofidy our preferences to the tune of what is generally acceptable is the day the fandom dies.
Case in point: fursuiting. You think fursuiting is generally acceptable? Wrong! Try asking shopping malls or hotels if you can fursuit on their premises - most won't allow you to - because people are scared of anything that looks abnormal.
Most furry cons have to carefully negotiate with hotels to get them to allow for even 'cute' fursuits to appear on their public areas - this is why any fetish gear is banned in most cons - not because 'we want to appear acceptable to the public' but because we wouldn't be allowed to hold the event otherwise. Don't confuse these two!
There will never come a time when furry is no longer 'creepy' or 'weird' because the stardard that public holds for being 'normal' is so low: no sex, no fetishes, no fursuiting, not even suggestive looking furry art. Even liking 'cute animals' can get you weird looks at your work place.
So why bother! Fuck it! We are furries exactly because we don't care what the world thinks of us! And in fact that is the whole point. Being something real, genuine, is what gets people to appreciate the best in us. That is why a few people occationally join up and become furries. And that's nice.
And if they find out that its mostly porn afterward - well, most don't seem to mind ;3

Are we a creepy fandom because we draw porn? No like any other fandom they would do things to express their passion about something.
Costume, goodies and other trickets and of course : Art. Adult or not.
We are a fandom like every other fandom in the world. Creating art to our heart's content in anyway they please us.
Sure, there will always be people who points fingers at us for the wrong reasons. That wont stop people to be a furry.
About all the art that coming out on the Zootopia movie.. I just think of it as a way of showing their HYPE for the movie.
Sure the art about it wont always be clean but that still show that people are waiting for the movie and gonna probably love it.
Be proud of yourself furries. Have a good day.
Life is hard enough without stressing about what the world might think of you.
