Author: Fred Forgive me; there is nothing anthropomorphic about this latest animation of Rossini’s William Tell Overture, a graduation project by French student animator Louis Thomas, just hired by Pixar, posted on the Cartoon Brew website. But there has been before (The Band Concert, Disney, 1935), and there doubtlessly will be again. Rossini’s complete William [...]

It doesn't do anything but featured spotlights. Now how do I know what happens in the fandom!?

I am going to write a cause-and-effect essay about Furries. I have already been pre-approved to write about them, however there are a few things that I'm still lacking.

I ask for any information and data from academic sources relating to Furries about what causes/attracts people to Furries and the Furry Fandom. I already have Dr. Gebrasi's essay, Furries from A to Z: Anthropomoprhism to Zoomorphism and The Sociology of Furry Fandom by David J. Rust [link], but cannot seem to find anything similar to these. Does anyone happen to know of more psycologists, sociologists, or professors that have done research and/or studies in America or any other country?

I know that there have been several "What makes a Furry?" and similar posts on this subreddit, however I would like to ask similar questions to help me develope my essay.

1) What is the definition of a Furry to you, personally?

2) Which general definition would you use to define Furries to another person (non-fur)?

3) Must Furries have some sort of artistic talent to be a part of the Fandom? If not, what can Furries or non-furries do to participate in the Fandom?

4) How did you come across Furries and what made you want to become one? When did you yourself "offically" became a Furry?

5) How do handle being a Furry amongst your friends, family, co-workers, and et cetera? Do you tell them or do they find out?

6) What is your personal opinion on what brings people to Furries.

7) What would you consider "good" aspects of Furries and what would you consider "bad" aspects?

This is all I have for now, I will update/make another post for any other questions that I come up with later to help me with my essay.

I thank you for your time. - Altark aka Ali_Teigar.

Here's a rather curious article in the Hartford Courant, written by Katherine Ogden and dated September 13:
http://www.courant.com/community/portland/hc-portland-library-meeting-20120913,0,571510.story

Apparently furries (fursuiters, in particular) have been visiting public libraries recently, which has prompted Janet Nocek (director of the Portland Library in Portland, Connecticut) to ask the board of directors to review its behavior policy. In particular, to make sure board members and staff were aware of library rules which prohibit visits from people in disguise, or with head coverings other than religious.

Portland Library Board To Discuss Behavior Policy
Possible Visits By 'Furries' Sparks Debate

By KATHERINE OGDEN, Special to the Courant The Hartford Courant

10:57 a.m. EDT, September 13, 2012
PORTLAND –—

People who cover their faces for religious reasons are welcome to enjoy the Portland Library, but folks who might want to visit dressed up as an otter, bear or other furry animal might run afoul of the rules.

So says library Director Janet Nocek, who is asking the board of directors to review its behavior policy in light of recent visits to other libraries by "furries" — people who dress up in costumes and visit public places.

"Face coverings at the library are not permitted except for religious reasons," Nocek said.

Furries, as they are nicknamed, are people who like to don fur suits or other costumes and otherwise remake themselves into an animals that have human characteristics. Devotees enjoy a thriving community both on online and in the real world – annual conventions are now held in Pittsburgh, Pa., after outgrowing the venue in Albany, N.Y.

The trend may be gaining ground after members of Taylor Swift's band dressed up as furry mascots when they performed at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this month. Such mascots have also appeared in Swift's videos.

"I had never heard of it," Nocek said. "I looked it up on the Internet."

So far, furries have not visited the Portland library, but Nocek said she decided to make board members and staff aware of library rules after the issue came up elsewhere. She said library policy prohibits visits from people in disguise, or with head coverings other than religious.

Nocek said she wants to head off any potential problems before they arise, such as a person hanging around in the children's room looking cute. A child or family at the library might mistakenly think a person dressed in a costume was part of a library program.

"They might look enticing to children," Nocek said. "I just thought we best discuss it, before anyone gets surprised, to make sure we are on the same page. "

The meeting is tonight at 7 at Portland Library, 20 Freestone Ave.

I saw some of the posts here. And they sound like they're afraid of "coming out" to being furry. Or people wonder what they should do with their tails and collars? Or like it's their life?

Really? I just see it as a hobby.

I...just need help figuring out what to do. I have just started the 16th year of my life and I have gotten myself into a relationship with a girl. My problem with this is that she wants to have sex and do other things...I am all for doing this with her but at the same time my moral code doesn't let me do this. I just need advice on what I should do to satisfy her needs without breaking my morals (my morals are the standard morals of most religions).

Dear Nicky,

I’m not sure what the “other things” are, so let’s just talk about the sex. Papabear is certain that your 16-year-old body is “all for doing this.” Hormones are dictating your desire to have sex. On the other hand, your sense of morals is holding you back. Many people feel it is not moral to have sex at such an early age and before marriage, and Papabear respects that. Your girlfriend should to.

It is not right for your girlfriend to pressure you to have sex any more than it is for you to pressure her. You need to explain to her that your sense of morals makes you very uncomfortable with the idea of having intercourse right now.  I’m not sure by your letter whether you are in love with this person or just dating. If you are just dating and don’t even know whether you love her, all the more reason not to have sex. If you love her, tell her so, but also say that you would like to wait before you take it to that level.

If she loves you, she will respect that and wait. If she just wants sex, she’ll probably dump you. If that’s the case, you’re better off. Go find a girlfriend who loves you for you and doesn’t see you as just a walking penis.

Hugs,

Papabear

I started talking to my mom about being a furry and she knows about the Darker parts, and she wants me to stay out of those parts. She's only trying to keep me safe so I'll accept your goodbyes and then I'm gonna duck my head outta here. She's threatening to delete my reddit account if I don't leave. (She knows my password, because I left "remember me" on...)
