AND I WAS THE FURCKER WHO ALMOST WAS HIS PARTNER XD thanks mom and grandmother for holding me down *rolls eyes*

That's awesome! Really hope you make it. I think you'd do good representing the fandom on that show.

wooo! Go skivie X3

SHOW YOUR DICK ON TELEVISION LOLOLOL

Why am I not surprised?

In terms of "representing the fandom" however, I have great difficulty believing that you, or anyone else for that matter, would be able to do so in such a way that the majority of the fandom would feel represented. I don't think I need to remind anyone who calls themselves a furry that the fandom we identify with is constantly on the verge of devouring itself. Like religion, furry fandom is made of so many conflicting pieces vying for control of one another that it threatens to collapse from the inside. Going on a globally broadcasted TV show in an effort to "speak the true word of the fandom" (which sounds like something a religious zealot would say, and which is a misnomer, as there is no "true word") is an understandable, but utterly pointless endeavor. You will no more change the public's opinion about the fandom than convince them that the bible isn't actually the word of god. You will instead only represent the fandom as a group of gay, loud, hyperactive people - a stereotype I'd rather not be identified with.

If I had any advice for you at all, it would be to represent yourself, not the fandom, and not even attach the furry label to yourself, as people will only fall back on their preconceived notions about the label and blow it out of proportion, as fanatics of reality TV and the media will inevitably do.

Speaking my mind on the subject as though anyone reading your journal would give a damn.

interesting point and for the most part i do agree, but what he is doing is not going "LOOK AT ME IM A GAY FURRY!!!!!!!!!" he is going, "this is what the average furry is like" which is normal, its the samething i do with people who attack me about being christian and bring up ppl who are noted as "radicals" and saying that they are all like that, i beg to differ with them, showing my true colors--like i alway have-- and 9 times out of 10, they see my point of veiw and changes their perspective.

i know skiver well enough that he will be goofy, but he wont damage the fandom as long ashe sticks to who he is and watches how he says stuff(in otherwords he will have to cut down on the joking)

oh, ps, HI SKIVER'S EX!!!!!!!!!
