Furry Fandom and Drama General

It's really funny if they think big corporations are gonna fuck with the smut-smiths' payday, or that so many of them care when they habitually e-beg for porn money or just get it free one way or the other

The seedy underbelly wouldn't go away, not completely, it'd just (hopefully) go back into bedrooms behind closed doors where it kind of fucking belongs
No corporation would want to touch them anyway, their idea of "sexual freedom" involves drawing kids, exposing themselves to kids, and putting dicks and pussy on kid cartoons.

NO one wants them. EDIT: Ok maybe the studio who did Steven Universe does. But other than that NO ONE wants them.

Oh god CalArts style porn please no
 
I think I remembe reading in Twitter something about how a mainstreaming of the furry fando means a corporisation of the fandom, which means making furries more family-friendly, which means getting rid of not only the pornographic aspect but also the BGLT+ aspect, which is apparently an essential part of the fandom.

Wait... I found the thread:
The idea that modern corporate culture would somehow censor LGBT content if it became dominant in the furry fandom is ludicrous. Corporate Wokeness™ is all the rage in current year. If even the excessively incluseve/diverse corporate culture would reject your idea of what it means to be LGBT, then maybe you need to re-evaluate what you think are core aspects of your LGBT identity. Guess what, being an overly horny degenerate 24/7 isn't "LGBT culture", it's a fucking nuisance, and if anything, it harms the acceptance of gays and lesbians who just want to fuck their chosen partner in private, and be normal productive members of society in public.

I'm pretty sure any fear of corporate influence stems purely from the fact that big companies getting involved would result in greater public scrutiny of all the absolutely insane bullshit that goes on in the fandom at large and it would no longer be a safe playground for genuinely, horrifically sick fucks to prey upon other people in
 
How would all of that even work? Furries already are everywhere from Disney movies to sports mascots, kid's cornflakes and probably to the largest quantity as private characters. You can't just go to a place and buy the concept of "animals with anthropomorphic qualities" or vice versa. Even if some brands suddenly start to support some conventions, for whatever reason, how would that translate into furries not being able to meet without that financial support anymore? Because those other cons are more attractive for the regular poor fur person? Are they worried they get fed the wrong ideas there? That the culture gets rebranded or something? Who'd listen to those corporations? And most importantly: What would anyone gain from that? If a corporation would want to create a product involving furry characters there's literally nothing that could stop them. Or anyone for that matter. You'll get involved with furries as customers if you want to or not so I can't even see it as tapping into a market or something. That whole discussion just seems pretty silly to me, unless there's something I'm missing

The furry sense of entitlement to a concept that's been around longer than they have.

This must be mostly younger people getting worked up about this, right? People who get defensive about their chosen home. Or are there actual personalities behind this, hoping to get bought up by some big investors or fearing exactly that proposed change?

I'd say anyone adjacent to Mark Merlino or his circle of freaks could be considered a kind of "ringleader" for the "Keep Furry Freaky Enough To Chase Out the Corpos" thing but I might be wrong simply because this fandom is so fucking bonkers and full of insane degenerates

I don't think Merlino has any kind of clout in the greater fandom anymore. It's just far too decentralized for any given cabal to have any pull on it. This looks to me just like the standard "corporations BAAAAAAAAD" spiel you hear from furries whenever they hear about a business that's not strictly run by furries making furry products.

It's more about Merlino being one of the main origin points for what I'd call a kind of "mind virus" that currently pervades the fandom at large
 
I know the guy that made those two vrchat models lol, well the character models, not the sex toys.
Yes, Kreic. He has a habit of making models, and moving right along while ignoring the fuckups in previous models, while still charging 80$ for one.
