Furry News Network - Wed 3 Oct 2012 - 22:26
Author: Fred Disney’s 1973 Robin Hood with Robin as an anthropomorphic fox has been revered by Furry fans for decades. Many early fans credit it as what first got them interested in anthro animals. This is us. Animation veteran critic Martin “Dr Toon” Goodman has just written an article for the Animation World Network on [...]

I've been looking around for a furry or fur-friendly CS:S server to fool around on. I used to play on SmokeyBurr's and Kali-Net, both of which are currently down. Is there anything out there?

Help finding a video

Furry Reddit - Wed 3 Oct 2012 - 19:40

I saw a video on here that was really moving and helped me to truly understand some things.... I forget what it's called now, and I'd like your help finding it, /r/furry! It has a guy in it who's always drawing his fursona, Kitsu, who is a ninja wolf, and across from him is the girl he really likes, then at home there's another furry who lives with him, who is a lion. That's really all I remember, can someone find it and link me to it please? Cheers.

Get Excited for: ‘Rise of the Guardians’

Weasel Wordsmith - Wed 3 Oct 2012 - 18:42

Just in case you weren’t already psyched to see a boomerang wielding Easter Bunny and a Santa Clause seemingly designed by San Francisco’s bear community, maybe this extended trailer for DreamWorks Animation’s Rise of the Guardians will do the trick.

Click here to view the embedded video.

However, the gorgeous design, unique premise, and humorous dialogue are just a few of the things Guardians has going for it. The film also has one of the cooler promotional tie-ins I’ve seen.

William Joyce, writer for the film and acclaimed children’s author, created not just one, but five books to tie in to the Guardians film. And true to Joyce’s style, this isn’t a cheap cash in to drum up excitement before the film’s November release (give the man some credit!).

The Guardians of Childhood series is written as if it’s a longstanding book series, based off of the most ancient lore of the associated myths. Three novels and two picture books make up the series, providing background for each of the main heroes, accompanied by an art style different from the film itself (further lending to the narrative that DreamWorks’ film is based on this old series).

While the novels themselves skew a bit young, they provide some amusement, and can be read separately, though the novels are presented as a series.

So if you’re ready to swoon over the hot Australian bunny, or really want to see Santa Clause kick ass, you don’t have to wait until November.

Oldest example of modern furry art?

Furry Reddit - Wed 3 Oct 2012 - 17:44

I've been doing some research, and aside from the first con happening the late 1980s, with the fandom's roots in the mid 1970's, I haven't been able to find very early examples of 'modern' furry art (save from some stuff from 1996 from a very sort of fetishy artist.)

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Not entirely furry related, but I am one! Otter looking for a little help. (info inside)

Furry Reddit - Wed 3 Oct 2012 - 15:40

Hey everyone! I've been working on a remix for a contest for weeks and voting just opened up!

While I've been getting positive feedback from everyone who's listened, I'm getting beat out on the leaderboards by generic songs from people with larger followings who can just throw a message up on their Facebook page and get hundreds of votes. This being my first remix ever, I don't have any of that.

All I'm asking is AT LEAST take a listen and tell me what you think of my remix, but it'd be so fucking awesome if I could get some votes from some of you. I'll love you all forever! ^

Here's mah remix: We Come Running // .Ninja-Otter Remix

Original, if you wanna hear that too.

Thanks a ton to everyone who ends up voting! Any thoughts or critique you can throw in the comments if you want. X3

RainFurrest 2012 who is this?!

DailyFurBlog - Wed 3 Oct 2012 - 14:09

Here’s a nice little YouTube footage I found from Rainfurrest 2012. The dancer wiggling his fur on stage to some banjo folk music is wonderful, but look behind him. You’ll notice the main guy of this video is the one dressed in the brown pajama thingy at the start of the video. He does a little butt hanging followed with some head punches. I like him more at about 1:30sec. in he gets some others to dance with him as well. What ever he was having I want some of it too. I mean not to take away from the guys creditable dancing, I wish I saw him up on stage doing JUST what he is doing here.

I am a furry, and I hate other furries.

Furry Reddit - Wed 3 Oct 2012 - 14:05

WALL OF TEXT WARNING RANT

So I count myself as a casual furry. I've been so since the late 90s. I like the artwork, costuming, hell even the porn to an extent! I’ve been to conventions, meets, and have a number of furry friends in real life. I consider myself a pretty straight edge guy, I don’t dress strangely or go around wearing ears or tail in public. That stuff stays in Cons, festivals, etc. Not meeting up at Denny’s for a movie. I don’t openly advertise my interest in it, but I don’t particularly hide it either. Frankly, I like being perceived as a boring normal dude by most people. I have a decent career in a professional field. I am aware of expected social norms and don’t believe the world should accommodate my peculiar interest. This is what brings me into conflict with nearly every furry I come into contact with.

They all seem to have a twisted “special snowflake” syndrome. They all think the world should have to put up with their stupid fake fluffy personalities, strange appearance, and have no respect for what is expected of a normal human being in a social situation. I can’t stand going to meets of any kind anymore as inevitably there will be some jackass who shows up dressed like they just robbed a Hot Topic and wearing animal parts, while making stupid animal noises throughout the night. And everyone lets it go. I try to be pleasant and a nice guy, but god forbid If I say something;I’m the asshole and should be shunned while others coddle the fool. I can’t stand the constant emphasis on a false sense of “brotherhood”, not to mention furry ‘status’.

“Oh, I am friends with [artist name], isn’t that so cool!? I bet I could get him/her to do …BLAH BLAH BLAH”

As if this is supposed to elevate you in my eyes? You are simply using supposed ‘friends’ for your own personal gain and satisfaction. You are still a basement dwelling neckbeard, with no job, a useless degree field if one at all, and have no ambition in real life. This is the second big thing I hate about most furries I meet. They have no direction in real life. Half of them are content to sit at home and live vicariously on the internet, and the rest seem happy to waste their time at school with no solid idea of what they should be doing, pursuing useless degrees then sitting around working at fast food with a 4 year degree. To be clear, I’m not hating on people aren’t college educated, hell, I am not myself! I just went back to college after years in the workforce. It’s just so few and far between are the ones who have actual jobs and a real living. I’m not mad if you don’t have a job or money, that’s fine…but atleast be TRYING TO DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR LIFE. This may be exacerbated by the town in which I live in now, a college town, dominated by a huge art college.

Also, is a little personal hygiene that fucking hard to ask for? If I can still smell your gross ass after get out my car, then we have an issue. Oh, and stop communicating via text/messaging like your cat walked across the keyboard, it’s not fucking cute. Stop with the stupid emotes and kitty faces after I’ve asked you to for the millionth time.

But after all of this bitching, I still like the community as a whole. I still like cons, and enjoy the weird furry times had at them, and with friends. I still want to participate and hang out with people to talk about the latest works, or act stupid in costumes. But I also want some goddamn friends who know when shit is appropriate, and when it isn’t. Some friends that I can talk to about dog-headed people humping, but be comfortable having a beer with at the local bar and grill.

TL;DR: Getting tired of dealing with social awkward penguins and foul bachelor frogs. Want some goddamn normal people to hang out with, that are also furry.

Well today was an interesting day

Furry Reddit - Wed 3 Oct 2012 - 13:48

Well this is a small rant about what happened to me today.

So I was in Biology with some friends, and I'm not sure how the topic ended up to be like this but I said "On the internet I'm a fox and my friend next to me asked if I was a furry so I said I was, and then he proceeded to talk about how fucked up we were, so when he asked me if I liked yiff I had to lie and say "no" and the lucky bugger got paid £10 to watch some! My friend next to me asked me about it, so I said I was one, and he said "you should just kill yourself" I then Pokerfaced 'cause I didn't know if he was joking or not. I was upset on the inside about a school that accepts me for being bi, but disapprove of me being a furry. It was really just upsetting

Silverwing on Netflix

Furry Reddit - Wed 3 Oct 2012 - 13:25

Thought some of you may be interested.

http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Silverwing/70244570?trkid=2361637

It's kind of Watership Down with bats. Not quite so dark, but plenty of adult themes like war, racism, cults, cannibalism, and plenty of off-screen death.

He Likes Her, but She's Driving Him Crazy

Ask Papabear - Wed 3 Oct 2012 - 12:42
Dear Papabear,

I'm coming to you not only as a fellow furry, but as a man who doesn't really know how to handle my emotions. You see, my girlfriend and I have been together for about 3 months, and I really like her, but I just don't see it going anywhere, and it sometimes seems like she doesn't really want to talk to me, though after discussing it with her, I attribute that to low self-esteem. As you can guess, this is causing me very much stress and depression. It's taking a toll on my college work and sleep habits, and it's lead to unhealthy thoughts (not actions, just thoughts). Is there any advice you can give me that you think could help? She doesn't even know what a furry is, by the way, and I know how it's often misunderstood and considered taboo, so I have yet to tell her.

--Butch

Hi, Butch,

Could you clarify some things for me, please? 1) who is having the low self-esteem? you or your girlfriend? 2) why don't you see it going anywhere? and why doesn't she seem willing to talk to you? If she's not talking to you, that is not much of a relationship.

Let's figure out the relationship first before worrying about telling her you're a furry.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Papabear

* * *

Dear Papabear,

First, thank you for taking the time to reply to my message. I'm sorry for not being very clear. I have the low self-esteem, and it causes me to worry about absolutely everything. I don't think the relationship will go anywhere because when we talk, there isn't all that much to talk about. I'll try to make conversation, but she won't say much. I mean, don't get me wrong, when we talk I have fun and I love it, but the problem is getting her to talk. We started out talking all the time when we first met, and about a month later we became a couple.

I hope this helps you understand things better.

Sincerely,

Butch

* * *

Hi,

So.... the problem being you have run out of things to talk about? Then let me ask you this: what do each of you do in your daily lives? What is an average day like for you and your mate? Do you spend lots of time together or do you mostly do things apart and then get together when you can?

Sometimes letters require a bit of dialog. Hope you don't mind.

Papabear

* * *

I don't mind at all. The way I'm seeing things is that she isn't interested in my life the way I am in hers, and she won't open up to me. Something had her angry earlier, but when I asked what was wrong she wouldn't tell me, so I didn't push the subject. We don't get to see each other often. she's still in school and I just started college. We both are under conditions that make us have to keep it a secret from our parents, so that adds more stress. We talk mainly through text. During calls, she doesn't talk much anymore. She had surgery a few weeks back, so I've been attributing her change in behavior to that and pain meds and such, but I just feel like it's more than that.

Butch

* * *

Hi, Butch,

Okay, thanks for your patience and for the information. Papabear has enough to go on now. There are a couple problems here: 1) your girlfriend won’t talk to you; and 2) what is going on with your relationship is aversely affecting your health and mental state. Also, you have to keep this relationship secret for some reason and you don’t seem open to talking to her about being furry. Furthermore, she seems more involved in her own problems than yours.

This is not a healthy relationship by any stretch of the mind. You may have had a bit of fun at the beginning, but that doesn’t mean it is going to continue to work. If she won’t open up to you and vice versa, then this relationship is heading for a dead end.

Continuing as you are is going to make you ill or worse. You cannot continue this way, which you recognize since you wrote to Papabear.

Time to be frank with her. Tell her that you can tell something is troubling her and you want to talk to her about it. Ask her if there is something you are doing that makes her not open up to you, and, if so, you will try to correct it; if it’s not you, then ask her again what is going on in her life.

To be blunt, Butch, you have only been with this girl for three months and, although you may like her, Papabear would not recommend her as girlfriend material. Be friends with her, sure, be supportive and be a pal, but you will only regret trying to be more than that to her unless she changes radically.

Papabear
