Furry Fandom and Drama General

The guy that made the "Fursonas" documentary, which ripped on Uncle Kage, got banned from Anthrocon. The Daily Beast decided to pick up on the story for some reason. The article attempts to paint Kage as some sort of comical supervillain,comparing him to a Scientology leader. I'm not sure who to root for here. Both sides are bad.

My favorite part is when they call Boomer the Dog (the guy with the hideous shredded paper-looking suit) a "gentle and free spirit" and pretend like Kage was the only person who thinks Boomer is embarrassing to the fandom.

Being a creepy cult leader type is actually a worse reputation than being a laughable pervert, frankly. Especially when you're already going to be considered a laughable pervert anyway.

FA's operating procedure for dealing with underage users is to ask them if they're underage. I'm not making this up.

It would be nice if this whole thing was conducted through FA, and because of that the government starts poking around at IMVU wondering why there's no age verification in place. Maybe IMVU will kill the site because it's too much of a risk.

I can dream, can't I? :heart-empty:

FA is run by incompetent idiots. They are like Chris: You have to light a fire under thier ass to get them to do anything.

I am reminded of the time that Dragonner banned a couple on FA because they dared to go on a talk to show to discuss thier kink of having sex in fursuits.

Oh my god, they actually link to Boomer's Dr. Phil appearance. You'd think they would be smart enough to link to one of the various articles just about him trying to get his name legally changed, not the time he went on national television to talk about eating dog food, being a jobless virgin on his parents' dime, and thinking he's part dog.
And the suit actually is made of shredded paper. I can't begin to imagine how dirty it must be. :c

Furries are incredibly limited.
You got the whole animal kingdom at your fingertips and you choose to go with simply wolves and cats.
Where are all of the Human fursonas?

Wolves, cats, foxes and dogs. They seem to be the most popular. I suppose it has something to do with the traits of the animals, traits the furry wants to be associated with in some way. Strength, cunning, cleverness, loyalty, friendliness, cuddiliness, hell, I dunno. Or maybe the furry feels a given animal is "sexy" in some way. But yeah, for all the wacky colors and sparkledog stuff, there really isn't that much variety.

But they don't even pick cool ones. Like if I was a furry, I would want to be a polar bear because then I get to have a free pass and maul any seal-furs.

I'd be a werebear so I could pretend to be in Diablo 2 while I was pretending to be a furry. It would be meta as hell.

It may be wrong of me, but when I hear of these young furries wanting to become "real animals," I always want to ask them if they enjoy the idea of licking their own ass, 'cause that's something animals do.

Considering that rimming has become popular in the fandom due to multiple related popufur artists often including it in their works, I'm going to have to go with "yes".

Never understood that fetish. It's not even remotely in an erogenous area.
Nipples, genitals, and all that I can kinda understand, since those are zones of sexual stimulation, but seriously, who gets stimulated at the sphincter?

Also... gross.

Wow this makes me nostalgic.. The last time I read anything about furries was back when Portal of Evil was still around, where they were a popular topic for abuse and mockery.
