Aberguine wanted to do a vlog when she purchased her fursuit, and eventually decided to review video unboxing the following day, and the following Friday she posted her first video of Furries in the Media.
When Aberguine writes her reviews, she goes by individual points brought up by the show, and determine if it falls under Information Accuracy, or Spirit of the Clip. For each category, each of the points she brings up in her review is worth one point, and is like one question on a test, it is either right or wrong. For example, under information accuracy, if a show says “All furries have fursuits”, “Furries create fursonas”, and “Furries think they are animals”, the show would get 1 of 3 correct, and would get a 33% on information accuracy. From there, Aberguine would average together the scores from both categories for the file percentage. I.e. Information accuracy 33%, Spirit of the clip 100%, total score 67%. Sometimes she will fudge a category score if the score is too harsh or lenient, but she generally tries not to rely on that if she can help it.

What clenched it for me that Aberguine is a Furry Ambassador was the cross over with  Arrkay & the rest of the  CulturallyFd team, Aberguine went on to explain Fursploitation. To quote Aberguine in the episode, “Fursploitation is a portmantua of Furry and Exploitation, in reference to exploitative media. Fursploitation can come in all forms, from relentlessly prodding interviews of members of the furry fandom to awkward stereo types acted out in rental costumes, to including anthropomorphic characters in advertising.” Aberguine later goes on to say “If a show is going to include a character who is suppose to be a member of the furry fandom, that character alone becomes the ambassador for all furries, and that holds significant weight on how it influences the audiences’ impression of the entire furry fandom. Not all portrayals of furries have to be bad to constitute being exploitation.”

Arrkay has said “Aberguine works very hard and has earned all of her subscribers. Her videos have a comprehensive breakdown of media treatment of furries and gives furries the tools and vocabulary to confront and critique false or conflated information about the fandom when they encounter it on the news or in their social circles. Not only does she deserve the title Furry Ambassador, but she enables all her viewers to become Ambassadors themselves which helps elevate the whole community. She's also a delight to work with.”

Aberguine’s thoughtful reviews in Furries in the Media highlight a number of topics, including that Furries are just like anyone else, to stay away from casting calls, be mindful of your audience #TonyTigerGate. Through education and dispelling myths related to the furry community, Aberguine has made efforts to combat the stigmatization that surrounds the furry fandom. All this is done in an entertaining to watch, well put together youtube episode that is updated on a regular basis. Also, as a fellow Texan, Aberguine has earned a shout out for her ‘Keep Austin Weird’ shirt as well. Stay awesome!
