Culturally F’d

Furry Ambassador: September 2017

A two man team setting up a youtube channel that mandates right from the beginning to combat stereotypes in the fandom and provide one-click resources for furries to share why they love anthro-animals is Culturally F'd.

Culturally F'd is an exploration of Anthropomorphic artwork throughout history, culture and mass media. They look for furry creatures found everywhere from roman mythology to Saturday morning cartoons; great icons like Walt Disney and Amun Ra, going every where from Anthrocon to the Legend of Zelda. They diving head first into history, archaeology, religion, anthropology, literature, art, digital media and the furry fandom to learn more about humanity's fascination with animals.
 Arrkay and  UnderbiteDragon are the driving force of  CulturallyFD, with the first upload on March 8th, 2015. Arrkay is most commonly seen in front of the camera as the host. Arrkay also fursuits as the mascot, Rusty Shacklefur, typically handling the follow up videos called F’d Up Date. Underbite Dragon is the art director, a task which includes but is not limited to being the cameraman, stage hand, and resident artist, creating images commonly used for video icons. Some outside help comes in to help with more complicated scripts or on complicated film days. For example, Episode 23: 17 Misconceptions about Furries and the furry Fandom had about 7 writers. A lot of inspiration comes from Dogpatch.Press articles. Guest writers have included:  Kanada,  da1337wolf,  Tempo321,  Badroy,  PatchPackrat, & Fletz, to name a few. Additional tech support comes from Ego Puppy, Cobalt,  ctcwired,  soldabat, and occasional on-set assistance from  Nayo.

Posting approximately once every 2 weeks, the first season started with what could be considered as an archeological review of the origins of anthropomorphism throughout history. This culminates at the end of the season with modern furries being discussed on Episode 12: Furryconomics. The theme changes, understandably so, in season 2. The episodes then take a specific topic within the broad world of furry, and discusses and educates the viewers to the subtle nuances within the specified topics. As testament of the hard work the team does, as well their success, Culturally F’d has expanded. This includes the previously mentioned F’d Up Date, Culturally F’d: After Dark, and even an ever expanding Anthro Music Video Series, as well as having guest articles published on Dogpatch.Press.

What clenched it for me that the Culturally F’d team was a Furry Ambassador was Episode 23: 17 Misconceptions about Furries and the Furry Fandom, along with the Culturally F’d: After Dark Episode: Furry, Queerness, and Coming Out. I would provide a break down of the videos, but it would either be a short blurb that would be doing a disservice to the episode, or present the readers with a wall of text. These episodes were very meaningful to myself, and I'm not the only fur who has taken notice. Culturally F'd was nominated 3 times in 2016 for the Ursa Major Award. Once for 17 Misconceptions about Furries and the Furry Fandom, once for Culturally F'd After Dark Burned Furs & How You Percieve Porn ft. Feral Attraction, and once for the channel itself. It is worth mentioning that this is the second year in a row that Culturally F'd was nominated for best anthropomorphic website, both 2015 & 2016.

 Aberguine has said "I can't think of any reason why they (Culturally F'd) shouldn't be nominated. As far as research is concerned, they blow my channel out of the water, they EARNED their Ursa Major award!"


Arrkay's heavily researched and well thought out reviews, combined by support in no small part from Underbite Dragon, has succeeded in making Culturally F'd an invaluable resource to the furry community. Now that the team is being funded through Patreon, Culturally F'd is taking more time to fully prepare each new episode. This ensures that the information being provided is accurate, presented in the best way possible, and entertaining to boot! The biggest issue I forsee Culturally F'd facing is simply running out of content. Fortunately, with as much help as the team is receiving, that day may never come to be. Stay awesome!
