Furry Fandom and Drama General

Thus the community becomes one where all is accepted no matter how asocial or demented you are. Sadly this mean that being tolerant becomes an excuse to be ignorant towards issues and problems that plague the community. You would think that people in the furry community would band together to stop babyfurs, or pedos, or even nazis from joining their community. But often times people just turn a blind eye away from these smaller communities and yet at the same time talk about banning these sort of people from the fandom.

The current troon plague has a lot more in common with the extreme deviant otherkin and furry communities than with actual transgender people.

Probably because like those, it started out on the Internet as a way of bringing deviants together and normalizing their deviancy.
 
It's part of the problem caused by what I call "The Tumblr Generation." Naive kids, who live on the internet and think they have it aaaaaall figured out... at the age of 15. Genderspectrumists, the cool-but-oppressed-minorities-of-the-month, autism-as-a-superpower, slacktivists, the perfect transexual transistion fantasists, the "you-don't-get-to-say" types who tell people don't kinkshame, don't body shame, don't blah, blah, blah. It all goes together. They think they're so aware, so "woke," so different, so forward thinking and so tomorrow... but they're just kids. Or worse yet, twenty-somethings or early-thirty-somethings who currently only have a teenager's mental development and have stalled there. They're really no different from kids in the 50's, 60's, 70's or 80's. They're just as dumb, just as irresponsible, just as gross, and just as annoying as any kid in those awkward teen years can be. The only difference is that while kids in the past would be limited to annoying their parents with their rock and roll, these kids have access to technology and the Internet to annoy everyone with. They build their little safe space special snowflake echo chambers which only bolster their belief they are right and have it aaaaaaall figured out. UGH! Kids in the past would hopefully grow out of it and move on, but with that Internet echo-chamber, plus the fact "the Internet never forgets," kids today are clinging on to their juvenile, naive worldview bullshit way, way longer than is healthy. Furries, being mostly comprised of young people, express all this Tumblr Generation bullshit at industrial strength toxic levels.

BTW, no way in hell I'd ever be touching that guy's diaper, let alone taking it off (WHY??!!).

It's kinda hard to compare Furry echo chambers and Teenager echo chambers. Teenagers are expected to be stupid like that. (obviously that's not a catch all excuse but you get my idea.) Because it's the age they want and are expecting to think for themselves and create their own identity they go out in the world and search, although sadly it's taken to the extreme.

Furries don't have that excuse. Most of them are middle aged NEETs who already went through the phase of exploration but instead used the fandom as an excuse to avoid actually exploring. That's why the moment things are challenged in the fandom there is scorn, anger, and other various bullshit.

Oh wow
 
Sing was a dull cash grab, I agree completely with IHE's review of it.

In fact it's odd furries would like it. Beyond talking animals, the characters have no animal-like quirks to them.

The owner of that bedroom must be a basic bitch.
It was pretty impressive how they shamelessly distilled all the melodrama of talent shows which are already shamelessly pandering into a generic low budget kids film. (Although this parody show did it better)

The most bizarre aspect was how they reused character models during the film, I did not expect to see that outside of those cheap knock-off animated films.
 
You under estimate the power of :autism:

Furries will watch nearly anything that has a talking animal, regardless of quality, just because.. It's a talking animal.
Pretty much the reason, I expected this to happen for that alone. I'm sure Rock Dog's got it's fans too (many of whom seem to dig Bodi's innocent demeanor, quite rare for a teenage character in today's films, though he was a 'Fish out of water" trope).

Typical Hollywood writing as far as I'm concerned.

I suppose Illumination felt it was easier to re-dress the same gator model than to worry about what physical differences could be come up for every single gator in this world. I'm sure it was a budget thing. Less strain on the designers stuck shatting these guys out.

OK, the reused models I'm not too annoyed with. I noticed that was another comment in IHE's review, but then he brings up Bojack and Zootopia as excellent examples of talking animal cartoons.

Both of those reuse models over and over again as well, sometimes touchups being very minimal. It's a bunch of animals, there's only so much you can do to make them unique beyond going 100% furry and giving them retarded piercings and hair.

But yeah Sing was fucking lazy compared to the aforementioned media, no contest.
 
True confession... I enjoyed Zootopia.

HERESY

But f'real tho i thought that movie kinda hit you over the head with it's message. Same problem with To Pimp A Butterfly, while i'm on that topic. While it's obviously a correct message, Instead of letting you figure out it's meanings for itself it beats you over the head with it.
the gazelle was kinda cute tho.

That's true. Reminded in Zootopia there's an arctic wolf on the police force who reminded me of a similar wolf that showed up later when the guys infiltrated the abandoned hospital. The differences there of course was in wardrobe, since both wolves had the same bodies/facial features.

Thinking of this reminded me of the Disney/Henson collab "Dinosaurs", and how they often recycled certain dinosaur puppets or full-size costumes to create different characters per episode. Of course that probably grew out of what we used to see on Sesame Street with similar Muppets being re-used simply for alterting features and clothing each time.

True.

No shame there!

I suppose letting you figure it out is sometimes a tricky thing to telegraph in a film, espeically one aimed at the widest audience possible, as such films lead to too many interpretations based on what the viewer thinks was the message. Being direct by hitting you with the message seems to be a tride and true method for most studios not wanting to go into experimentation and let the filmmakers do what they may've wanted to, less to lead to confusion by people who thought negatively of the film for what was meant to be positive.

I thought it was rare to find furries who were into apes and monkeys because they're both too close to human but I guess we found the one guy who is into them
At that rate, there are no like, jellyfish furries
Hopefully we don't go there at all (as much as we've already covered aquatic species like sharks).
