Fur-tastic fun for all
An article in the NewsMail, a daily newspaper serving Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia:
http://www.news-mail.com.au/story/2012/08/09/fur-tastic-fun-for-all/
The article previews the first meeting of the Bundaberg furry community, to occur at the Bundaberg Botanic Gardens on Sunday.
WHAT do you get if you put a giant fox, dingo, husky, lion and rat in the same place?
The first meeting of the Bundaberg furry community.
Confused? Well taking a walk through the Bundaberg Botanic Gardens on Sunday may or may not clear things up, but either way it will be an interesting sight.
Hayden Grant (aka Bingo Fox) and Maui Warrigal will dress up in their animal fur suits this weekend with up to 10 other animal characters for an afternoon of fur suiting.
"I first heard about it 2-3 years ago," Mr Grant said.
"I found out there was a conference being held in Brisbane and went along.
"From there I was hooked; I came up with my animal persona and about six month later my Bingo Fox costume was ready."
Mr Grant said the freedom of taking on an animal persona, a fursona, was what attracted him to anthropomorphic animals with human characteristics.
"Think of talking cartoon animals, sports team mascots and you have an idea of what it's all about," he said.
"Your animal character can have a completely different personality.
"It's just a lot of fun to dress up and run around."
And the trend is also big business, especially in America.
"Conferences and meeting in America attract thousands of furries," he said.
"Costumes can cost anywhere from $500 to $5000."
Brisbane's annual furry event, RivFur, attracts up to 150 furries, while on the Gold Coast an annual event sees more than 300 come together.
And while the BundyFur group has only been in existence for about two weeks, it has already gained interest from numerous furries.
"Furries will be travelling from Brisbane and Gladstone for this event," Mr Grant said.
"It all started after Maui and I decided that we wanted to go suiting again before summer.
"Now we currently have 15 registered people that will be attending, not including their friends and family."
Bundaberg's first FurMeet will take place on Sunday at the Bundaberg Botanic Gardens from 10am-3pm.

A Different Kind of Monster Battle
If you haven’t seen it so far, Kaijudo: Rise of the Duel Masters is the latest “re-imagining” of a classic product line to premier on The Hub network — in this case back in June. Kaijudo is a new version of the Duel Masters series by Wizards of the Coast (which, like The Hub, is a division of Hasbro Toys). This time around, the creators of this new show (specifically Andrew Robinson and Henry Gilroy from The Hub) wanted to have a different take on the “young kids and their fighting pet monsters” genre. The creatures of Kaijudo come to Earth from another dimension, and they can’t just be called up or sent back by the flip of a card. What’s more, our hero — a young boy named Ray, voiced by Scott Wolf) — has a special power of empathy with the monsters, and so he is very connected when they are hurt or made to suffer. According to the creators, they wanted a show where the heroes, the villains, and even the companion monsters show much more personality than shows like these have seen in the past. Have they succeeded? Find out for yourself. New episodes of Kaijudo currently air on The Hub on Saturdays at 8 pm Eastern, 5 pm Pacific. Check out the official Kaijudo web page from The Hub as well.

Western furries or Eastern furries? What's your favorite style?
A question that makes you think. Do you prefer western art of furries? Or Eastern/kemono art? I've noticed that there's some clear distinctions between them.
I prefer the kemono style over western by a bit. They look cuter. But When I draw. I try to make combination of both, but so far it's learning to the eastern style.

Awwww Rocks!
Rocky Mountain Fur Con is this weekend, YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! If you’re going be prepared for rocks, mountains and lots of furries! Of course you can get your layout, guides and other such things at the site HERE. If you snap some shots and feel like giving some tender furry care to DFB send me the pics! Please refrain from sending nude pics as I have other sites for that (JUST kidding…or am I ??? ). Enjoy your time everyone!
Let's rant some more.
So!
Why is it so hard to find a furry IRC channel where everyone ISN'T going to rape you with dildos and stuff in first few days?
It's so ridiculous how we say "Hey yeah, you don't even have to like the furry porn if you belong in the fur community" but yet people like to sexually harass people on chats and stuff. We can't make ourselves look good to media if we act like this.
I know it may sound ridiculous to get pissed off about TEXT on INTERNET but still, fuck off! Fuck you and your fucking fetishes, i don't want to know about them, stop making me to do this RP stuff with you. Just fuck off. I just wanted to chat with new people, not get raped anally by a fox and leave because that. I know that i'm weak little shit if i get disturbed about that, but is it really necessary?
Thank you for reading, and double thanks if you give a fuck.
PS. Is there any furry IRC channel where people can act mature and not get raped instantly? I want to join you guys.
Also sorry if i sounded too harsh but i'm fucking pissed off right now.
Edit: NSFW because of the text.
Edit 2: I'm glad that this started some discussion! :D
