Papabear on the "Furry Lifestyle"
Papabear's inbox is once more running on empty, so I thought I'd chat about something important to me. Recently, I received an email from Chion Wolf, producer of "The Colin McEnroe" show, which is broadcast on WNPR in Connecticut. They are doing a show about the "furry lifestyle" before FurFright. As she writes:
Hi there!
I'm a producer for the Colin McEnroe Show on WNPR in Connecticut, and we're doing a radio show on Furry culture before a Furry event at the end of October - We'd love to get some more voices on the show to tell our audience about the Furry lifestyle. There was a library here in Connecticut that recently said that Furries aren't welcome! We wanted to take that opportunity to do a show and educate some folks. Are you available to call in? Or know of someone else, or anyone in Connecticut? We're still waiting to hear back from the people organizing FurFright 2012.
Thanks in advance!
I wrote back that I would be happy to talk on the show because I strongly believe that we should not hide from the media. Principally, what I wish to emphasize to Ms. Wolf (with a name like that, she should be a furry!) is that there is no such thing as a "furry lifestyle." That furries are a diverse group and do not share a "lifestyle" of any sort. You know and I know what Ms. Wolf is referring to when she labels the community this way, and I find it offensive.
No two furries are alike. The only thing we ALL share is our interest in anthropomorphic characters. After that, we are a mixed bag--young, greymuzzle, gay, straight, religious, atheist, male, female, fursuiters, nonfursuiters, artists, nonartists, etc. etc.
Of course, we'll have to address the whole furporn thing to which my response is that the furry community is comprised of sexually active people who enjoy sex like anyone else. Next question.
I'm really sick of the outside community--mundanes, if you will--always try to label us and pigeonhole us into something that will be titillating so that they can have a story that gets them viewers or listeners.
I'm not sure if Ms. Wolf will still invite me to her panel or not, but if she does, let me know what things you would like me to talk about with her. Write me at zoobear863@yahoo.com.

Episode 193 - Blame Savrin
Hello again, remember me? I got bored in a Physics Class recently, so I did what anyone would do.
ActFur S4 Ep07 – Metaphurs - Big like a bear? Small as a rabbit? Drop like a Dropfox? We use animals as metaphors in our lives all the times but where do these sorts of phrases stem from? We explore cardboard cops, Undead presidential candidates and a pos
Ok fellow furs. I know we get these a lot, but...
Candy had a baby very recently and is doing $5 min. pay-what-you-want streams to help raise money for her care. The baby's currently in the NICU for various problems, and they're hurtin for a bit of extra cash. It would be awesome if you guys could snag a commission or even stop by to congratulate her! The next stream is on Saturday at 7pm PST :3 Link for the lazy.
For those of you who don't know her, she's the artist who made the comic Vinci & Arty (no link, unfortunately). Her husband, Red, works on the comic Jack (NSFW, really great story though, pretty morbid since it deals with death, hell, and the afterlife in general. Gore+sex+language not suitable for children. Highly recommend it!) Candy's done some great work for me in the past, and I know she'll do right by you :) It'd mean a lot if you guys would at least go check her out!
Stay sexy, fuzzbutts B)
