Daily Dose of FACT
furplay
remain as they are.
"Plushies" and "zoophiles" have duct-taped themselves onto the more
legit genre known as "furry fandom". Whether it happened all on it's own
or they had been deliberately recruited into the fandom by the
manipulations of a now former head of a furry convention's ultimate
motive of turning said con into a circus of sexual alternatives is still
up for debate.
By their guilty consciences, these two NON-furry groups INSIST that what
they do is perfectly normal behavior. Because of this, they have no
qualms whatsoever in announcing to anyone who will listen about their
"lifestyle". Unfortunately, the most often group that bothers to pay
attention to this have been the media.
Because of their association with the more legit group of "furries", who
have NO interest in boinking a shetland pony (be it real or made of
cloth), the whole of furry fandom has been soiled with this stigma. In
the eyes of anyone on the "outside" who may have heard the tales, EVERY
furry is now a potential horse-fucker/doll-screwer/general loser.
Because of this, the whole of the furry genre's hope for growth
potential becomes stunted. Some people now actually have to HIDE their
interest in furry for fear that they will be branded as some sort of
deviant, or in the very least have their employment status put into
jeopardy (the case may be true or not, but the fact remains that there
ARE some people who live with this fear of being "found out"). All this
because of the stigma that a relative minority has caused by their
boorish, selfish behavior.
Because of this, it becomes all the more difficult to promote furry
titles because of the stigma. Yes, titles still are being produced, but
how many more could there have been if the phrase "skunk-fucker" was
never invented?
Because of this, there has become a group of people who feel there is a
need to take an active resistance to this before the words "furry
fandom" starts to sound as respectful as "NAMBLA" or "Manson Family".
Some have accused them of being intolerant brownshirts, but these
accusations seem to come mainly from the very deviants that have been
wanting to turn furry fandom into a freak show in the first place. I
personally have yet to see Eric Blumrich setting fire to stacks of
books, or Squee Rat leading teams of goons to turn over the tables of
dealers selling furry erotica.
Some have even decided that if you have no problem with seeing furry
erotica, then you must also wholeheartedly embrace every sick-ass thing
there is out there, lest you be accused of hypocrisy. This is like
demanding the person who has a navel ring to support the idea of
self-castration & amputations.
So now we see "lifestylers" on one side, and "Burned Furs" on the other,
throwing bricks at each other, all to the sheer delight of the media who
reports to everyone how dysfuctional and fragmented we really are.
Now were are at the point that if someone makes a post about furry
fandom in the media, the first thing that pops into our minds isn't
"Cool! Free publicity!", but "Swell! What did they call us NOW?".
This BS just HAS to cease!
Here's the facts:
"Lifestylers", "Plushophiles", and "Zoophiliacs". You are NOT "furry".
Your claims of being a "furry" is a defamation of the term. You do NOT
represent "furry fandom" in the slightest, and any claims you have
made/will make to the media about your connections to "furry fandom" is
a bald-faced LIE! You are screwed up deviants in ANY fandom, and your
trying to legitimise yourselves by infiltrating a genre like furry
fandom will NOT succeed in the long run. People should NOT have to be
ashamed of calling themselves a "furry" because you dolts have made it
into a dirty word. This is OUR playground, and WE WANT IT BACK!

The problem I have with what you're saying is that you are overlooking a
rather salient point. You are not making a distinction between a zoophile
or plushie who claims to be "furry" BECAUSE they are a zoophile or plushie,
and those who have legitimate furry interests IN ADDITION to zoophilia
and/or plushophilia. In the first case, I agree with you. In the second,
I'm less inclined to agree.
Personally I don't care one whit who knows that I'm a furry (I am not a
zoophile or plushie). I've made no secret of it and no one has ever made a
negative statement about it, and if they did I'd either ignore it or try to
explain it, depending upon who made the comment.
I suggest, also, that you be more careful about using qualifiers. "A more
legit group of furries" is a rather damaging thing to say, nor have I
granted you the right to define what is legitimate in the furry fandom, and
what is not, on my behalf. And I'm not saying this about you alone: No one
in this fandom, which has no charter, no elected officials, no centralized
administration, and no headquarters whatsoever, has any business telling me
what is right or wrong, or what constitutes a "legitimate" furry interest.
You can express an opinion, or your likes and dislikes, but these do not
constitute a charter for the fandom and I am in no way obligated to agree
with you. And those are facts, as far as I am concerned.

Can you offer a coherent explanation of why depicting a fantasy
animal in 2D media is 'furry art', but depicting one in soft sculpture
(plush) isn't? Both are often done with salacious intent, especially
in this fandom. The only functional difference that I can see between
a modified plush and a pornographic picture is that one can actually
interact with the toy. Am I missing something here?

My two cents; liking and collecting stuffed animals is one thing. It's
perfectly legitimate. God knows there are horribly expensive and rare
teddy-bears out there.
I own one, it does not make me a plushophile or lifestyler. It just
makes me a collector.
I am a furry fan, not a deviant. I go to cons to see art being displayed
and made by talented individuals, not to have sexual release.
If that makes me a burned fur, fine.
I've met Squee, and Blumrich (but not as often). As you said neither are
the 'evil' some paint them to be. All they are is opinionated and not
afraid of speaking their minds. Personally, I like people like that.
Why? Because I'm not known for keeping silent either.

Gund made a very nice "Land Before Time" set back in 1988,
which is what got me started collecting plush. I've got a neat
"Princess Atta", and a couple generic anthro plush, including
a chubby little hedgehog dressed in a suit who's one of my
favourites. There's also the 'Pooh' characters, and almost any
Teddy Bear ever made. When you get right down to it, the
majority of plush are anthropomorphized to some degree or
another. There's realistic non-anthro plush out there, but
frankly it's harder to find than the anthropomorphized 'cute'
plush. I've spent enough time shopping for the stuff :)

I believe you, but you do have to shop around. Its not as if
you can walk into walmart and buy that kind of stuff ( totaly anthro
plush ). I also
firmly believe there is an conflict of 'intent'. Pooh ( mister Sanders) of
whom I am a big fan was meant as a toy for little kids. As well as the land
before time ones ( I had a couple ). I quite agree that most plush are
anthropomophized to one extent or another. Its obvious. :)
My point is this; Most plush are meant as childrens toys. Or to be collected
as such.
Its like the .mp3 format... .mp3's became associated

becuase of the the people that use it that way, not
becuase the

idea of "Furry" encompasses animals who are non-anthropomorphic in *shape*
but still bear human thought and reasoning. For example, most Disney
characters. It seems generally accepted that Simba and Balto *are* "furry"
despite their lack of human shape, so I don't agree with Artist's reasoning
that plush aren't furry because they depict four-legged animals.
I'd tend to agree with Ostrich's statement that they are 3D versions of our
favorite characters. (But not the interactivity part, sorry ;)

As opposed to homo-perverts who claim what they do is perfectly normal
behaviour?!
I'm not a zoophile, but I am interested in animal rights. I'm far more
concerned by whether the animal is actually suffering than whether society
approves of the activity it's involved in. Horse racing is legal, as is
killing horses for their meat. Both cause great suffering and death.
Compaired to this, giving one an orgasm seems comparatively harmless . . .
As for plushiephiles, who are they hurting? There's no hgarm in it,
except to encite intollerant people like you who detract from the genuine
furry stuff.

You're missing your own point
furry is to do with the mixing of animal and human traits. As such
Lifestylers, plushiephiles, zoophiles and furry fandom are aspects of furry,
with no one group holding sway over the subject or deciding what the subject
actually is. Some groups are more main stream than others, but that's no
excuse for picking on minorities.
Despite the coryness of the phrase, there is strength in unity. Furrydom
will survive whether we hate each other or not, but it will be stronger if
we don't.

People's ability to each have one's own personal reality is supposedly
responsible for toppling a subculture into ruin. To be a dragon in

I sorta had the notion that a Burned Fur was someone who, by their own
choice, associated themselves with the Burned Furs. Not unlike the way
I call myself a lifestyler (a dangerous name, I gather, but it describes
me in a neater package than "furry who takes the subculture to spiritual
and personal levels").

To paraphrase Webster:
To anthropormize something is to give human characteristics to animate or
inanimate objects.
So yes, four footed animals that have human thought are indeed anthropomorphic.

You can't be blamed for not knowing. But anyway, there's actually very
limited space for furry fans in most of their preferred activities. Yes,
there's probably less than a hundred thousand active fans, in a nation
with over two hundred MILLION people. But unfortunately our
hobby/lifestyle/whatever involves specific venues with very limited
capacity.
1) The Internet. It's actually grown to the point where there's only room
for about eight more people. If the weirdo perverts keep hogging those
spots then starting pretty soon some of the more worthy furry fans who
keep the bananas OUT of their ears won't be able to log on.
2) Furry Cons. These are already past capacity, and regularly turn away
hundreds of furry fans at the door who didn't pre-register early enough.
If only the crowbar fetishists would just leave, that'd open up enough
hotel rooms and seats in the con panels and stuff that all the legitimate
fans could get in!
3) Newsgroups. These have a strict quota of how many words can be posted
to them per month, and when some ranting lunatic uses up half of them the
rest of the people here don't get to say everything that's on their minds
before the letters and numbers run out. (There's a seperate quota for
punctuation symbols too which can run out a lot sooner sometimes
