I am a playful, loving, and caring bunny in a human container. I consider myself to be easy-going, levelheaded and relaxed. I don't anger easily and I never hold grudges. I gravitate towards soft snuggly fuzzy things, happiness and love. I am moderate in my political views and I don't jump on anyone's bandwagon at the first look. I am a free thinker and keep an open mind about things even if I don't necessarily agree with them.I give people the benefit of the doubt so until you burn me we're cool. I try to see things from all perspectives and all sides. It is important to be capable of critical thinking. I usually refrain from and repel television, radio music, newspapers and all other corporatist and formulated mass media and publications because they lack soul, taste and intelligence. most of it is just a mind numbing trance inducing Apple with no substance. However there are a few exceptions. Most of the time I watch movies or surf the net or read articles and doing research. Who needs college when you have the Internet HAHA. I guess I am a little more old-school and old-fashioned when it comes to good and proper entertainment.
I am an intellectual however I say that very tongue-in-cheek because there is always someone smarter, who has more information and relevance. I'd rather stand quietly in the background smiling and nod cutely taking it all in even if I understand it or not. it's terrible when people speak on a subject they know nothing about with such authority and boastfulness making an absolute fool of themselves. Even if I think I know something I approach it by asking questions to see if what I think I understand is correct.
I try not to judge people because you never know the circumstances in their life that have brought them to the point they are now. I'm not perfect, I'm not infallible and I'm usually the first to admit so. I'm a little bit older than most furs but I'm not a creepy old man trying to get in your pants. I've just lived a little bit more life. I guess you could call me a 90's generation theory. I came up in the 90's discovering other furries on the net and bulletin boards. I was relieved to discover I was not the only one who felt and thought this way. Ever since I was a young child I've always been attracted to and gravitated towards anthropomorphic animals in cartoons in fiction in writings books stories pictures drawings etc.. I've always felt a connection to that. I have found a way to integrate that into my life while still being able to function in the "real world with humans"
I've had some bad experiences and rough times in my life but through it all I have remained hopeful and optimistic. I try to find the good in all circumstances. My general philosophy is live and let live, learn by your mistakes and move on, cherish the good times, and fight through the bad times with all your heart. I am a Gemini but I don't observe astrology closely however I do have some duality traits. I can be very professional and corporate when dealing with humans in the world but I can also be silly and free-spirited plus I have a rebellious side. I've never been one to follow the crowd I usually run the other way. I like small groups of close friends in intimate settings, I've never liked big crowds or crowded areas because it's too impersonal and I get panic attacks. I tolerate humans as a necessity for getting around and getting along in the world.
I like to travel and sight see exploring new things. To me money isn't everything, I'd rather be poor than be a slave to money however I do like to be comfortable and I enjoy the good things that money enables you to do or acquire. But just like everything else in life you have to find a balance.

My thoughts on Zootopia and it's potential implications. (G)
10 years ago
The following might be a bit strong for some of you. Please understand that I'm passionate about these subjects so I tend to get a bit...intense. Fair warning.
I've seen the movie, liked it and for what the story was, it was good. In fact it was so anti 90's Disney that I was intrigued. Where are they going with this? What is the overall message is it signaling for the future? For many years I've been in this fandom. (20) and I consider myself a Furry since childhood before I knew what a Furry was or that such a phenomenon existed. The fandom has evolved and grown over the years. The internet helped bring us all together like never before. I came up through the 90's as a teenager, I cut my teeth in the USENET groups and IRC rooms. I've been around a long time in the fandom. I was a Furry before Furry was 'cool'. But I see a lot of changes happening, a lot of people coming into the fandom today who aren't real Furs but just want something to attach themselves to in order to validate their existence or use it to get sex or party then toss it aside like an empty beer can when they're bored of it. It may sound crude, even elitist but I consider these people outsiders, mundanes, and wannabes. They don't understand Furry culture or what it means to be a Fur. The biggest threat to our community, our fandom is commercialization and mainstreaming. For years, the Furry community has been the hallmark of originality anti establishment, anti mainstream culture. We rejected the mainstream, our 'normal' human way of life became the shell we wear in order to function in this world but who we are is different. We're Furs. We see something deeper, something special and true as animals. A connection to life and one another that no normal human could ever understand. This is one reason I spoke out so loudly about the purchase of FA by IMVU. I think that was a terrible first step towards commercialization because it was done behind our backs for one, and it was a transaction done from Furs to the non fur corporate world. Typically you'd expect a sale like this to happen by Furries for Furries to keep it in the family so to speak. But fine, what's done is done and so far, this site is on the upward swing to improvement on a technical basis. It remains unknown what the fate of this whole deal will yield in the years to come. I'm hoping for the best but history is a bitch and history says otherwise. But that's history.
My biggest fear is that through this movie and possibly others, the studios, producers and creators of Hollywood will try to mainstream Furry and rob us of the Furry fandom. If this movie is a smash hit, a massive money maker for Disney, you can bet they will make more and other studios will jump on the Furry bandwagon. That might be good in the short run but then the outsider, wannabe "Oh I saw Zootopia so now I'm a Furry" types will come in. No, no you fucking well are not a Furry.
No one will understand my level of rage at this prospect. The mundanes the outsider non-furs infiltrating our conventions, our blogs, websites and groups only for the fact that now it's 'cool to be Furry' when before this movie came out you considered us freaks, perverts and pedophiles no, fuck you. This is my life, this is personal to me. It's not a game, it's not a lifestyle or some kind of trendy act, it's who we are. You insult me by taking my culture, my soul and turn around and make it some kind of commercialized play thing for your popular culture and profit. Well I say fuck off and die in a fire you fraudulent motherfuckers. Fake Furs, posers and wannabes don't belong in our space. Get the fuck out of my fandom.
