Furry Fandom and Drama General

Maybe he is just being honest with himself about his spirit animal. If all furries chose animals that aligned with their personal traits and behaviors, there would be a lot more sloths and banana slugs.

Sloths are passive, environmentalist flower children that contribute to the environments that they live in. Banana slugs are colorful, loved as a snack by every backyard animal (including people), and break down the filth that accumulates on the forest floor so that no one else has to. If there were any animal that would be representative of the furry group, it would be the Asian long-horned beetle. Invasive, unwanted, and a decimation to the enviroment I live in.
 
Kage has always been distant from the kinksters in the fandom. Way back in the late 90's when Vanity Fair interviewed Fox Galen, a babyfur and plushophile, about this new thing called "the furry fandom" Kage later spoke disparagingly of Galen in an interview for a different publication, calling him the "weird uncle we don't let the kids near" and such. Save for the fact that his fursona is literally a cockroach he seems reasonably well adjusted to me. Anthrocon (his convention) had always been among the first to do things like barring open sales of furry dildos and other X-rated things in the dealer's den.
I literally had no idea that there are furries with insect fursonas.
Thought they didn't exist.
 
Isn't Kage also known as "Rogue the megawolf"?

There's little if any proof of that. So if he is indeed Rogue, then he's putting a lot of effort into hiding it, keeping it separante and secret. Which means he's actually practicing what he's preaching. There's weirder and more horrible fetishes than furry out there. The difference with furry is the lack of shame and the ongoing attempt to 'break out', which is what Uncle Kage fights against and despises. It's not necessarily the fetishists he hates; it's the fetishists who put that shit out in the open and expect everyone else to tolerate it.

Of course, it can be argued that even if furry fetishists keep to their own hugbox, it's still unlike any other fetish. For one thing, there's massive fetish crossover. I've gone over this aspect before - they've been expcluded so much by other people because of their attempts to 'break out' that they have come to believe that much/most/all exclusion is wrong. They expect too much tolerance, and within the fandom they recieve that tolerance, resulting in the death of inhibition and shame.
 
This has to have some part in the furry fandom, guys that like to dress up as dogs or as they would call it, human pups. These aren't fursuits so much as guys donning what looks like latex suits molded like that of dogs.

Although this is pretty much a reaction video, it shows a bit more into this human pup thing.

The look on the woman gives off the feeling of being dead inside as she sits next to a man dressed up in a creepy rubber fursuit.

The internet was a mistake.

You only think you're joking. The internet is what enabled this sort of thing - the anonymity needed to get people to let go of their inhibitions, and the connectivity needed to find other people like them and validate their strange thoughts and behaviors. This also resulted in non-binary gender identities and the explosion of new sexualities to match - these do in fact occur, but society puts peoples' genders and sexualities into pigeonholes. These may well be the first 'internet breakouts' - doing what the furries failed to do in the late 90's/early 00's, (which resulted in their mass retreat into the furry hugbox). A whole lot of other stuff, furry included, is probably going to follow as society becomes more and more tolerant. The internet was supposed to connect people, but the end result may be individuals having less and less in common with each other - the only thing keeping us from completely ending up like the rat utopia experiment may be the fact that we live in a non-post-scarcity society, forcing us to interact with one another to survive.

This shit is just depressing to me. Like you know that these people had to have been fucked up in a pretty serious way to even consider doing something like this. It's just one of those things that just bums me out instead of making me laugh/cringe like most fetishes do.

That's been my beef at the start. That sort of openness, while it may have given many of us a voice at all outside the mainstream, opened the floodgates to this Pandora's box of unhealthiness.
 
I saw a person in a fursuit once at a convention. It was okay until i saw the beady eyes staring into my soul. How are people not creeped out by the eyes is beyond me.
When I first saw one, I automatically thought of Robbie the Rabbit from Silent Hill. I'll admit, to this day I still think fursuits are pretty unsettling.
