Is the furry IRL stereotype true?

Furry Reddit - Tue 19 Jun 2012 - 21:11

From what the rest of the Internet tells me, you furries are mostly disgusting basement-dwellers doing lots of weird stuff to please their sexual urges. I'm not a furry in any way, but I'm just curious what you furries have to say about this stereotype. Please be honest, as I will not be judging you if those things are true, I just want to hear what you guys think about this.

AnthroCon 2012 makes the headline

DailyFurBlog - Tue 19 Jun 2012 - 12:26

Of course I had to talk about my trip to AC at some point and just so happen to come across this thanks to my friend Neko.  So, as for me the trip was amazing and everything went amazing. I’m glad everyone like my suit and my acting in it to bring it to life. For AnthroCon if you didn’t already hear hit we hit over 5,000 furries this year with over 900 fur suits. The local news paper of course got wind of this and the “Save Fernando’s” thing so they did a little piece on it. Head over here and read or watch the video at the bottom. Also good job to Neko for getting in the main pic.

Furry Reddit - Tue 19 Jun 2012 - 11:42

the question could be, how does the wolf phipaw? and the answer be, by going to a fur meet.

Breakdancing 'Furries' Make Dressing Up As Animals Look Fun

Furries In The Media - Tue 19 Jun 2012 - 03:19

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/06/18/breakdancing-furries-video_n_1605416.html?just_reloaded=1

Random article is random lol. It doesn't seem to be talking about anthrocon, just furries in general as a whole. good going I guess? :p


What's a 'furry', you ask? Well, that's a fair enough question. A furry is a person - to quote Wikipedia for a moment - who likes to dress up as a "fictional non-human character with human characteristics".

That is to say, a person who likes to dress up in a human-like wolf costume (or the like) and have a load of fun whilst wearing it. There's no denying that's a smidge odd, of course, but what's important here for these furries who go to furry conventions is that they're obviously having the time of their lives.

To show you what we mean, here's a video from last year's 'Anthrocon' at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which shows a group of more athletic human beings (in their 'fursuits') giving it some on the dancefloor to the tune of Missy Elliott's 4 My People. As you do.

And for some animals behaving like humans, here's a video gallery of some cats and dogs and so on pretending they're one of us. N.B. None of them actually breakdance. Sorry about that.

Foxy Lady! Wolfy Lady!

In-Fur-Nation - Tue 19 Jun 2012 - 01:52

Gotta love the Japanese sometimes — especially their animation, of course. Kanokon is a direct-to-video animated series from Media Blasters.  It is decidedly adult in nature, though not pornographic. Here, we’ll let them describe it: “Kouta, a country boy who lives with his grandfather, is moving to the city to attend high school. Changes come with his new home and new school, but nothing could have prepared the gentle young man for girls, specifically a bombshell fox spirit named Chizuru! As if her aggressive advances weren’t enough, he also catches the attention of a frosty wolf spirit named Nozomu. Kouta is dragged into supernatural events as a result of his contact with the two girls, and his school life only gets more chaotic by the day. But with a girl who gives ‘foxy’ new meaning and another howling after him, things are looking up for his love life.”  Now Media Blasters have released all the Kanokon episodes in one DVD collection.  RightStuf.com has information on it and other special releases from the series.

Artist Needs a Little Encouragement

Ask Papabear - Tue 19 Jun 2012 - 01:37
Hello Papabear, 

Um first time reader and writer to your website.

I've been trying to get back into drawing lately, but haven't been able to get into the flow of it and get frustrated and toss my sketch away, but when I get told to take a break from drawing that is the opposite of what I wanna do. 

What advice could you give to get my head outta the gutter and get me back to drawing or sketching?

Krew

* * *

Dear Krew,

Drawing is similar to writing in that they are both artistic endeavors; therefore, some of the same rules apply to both. Have you ever heard of the 10,000-hour rule? This theory says that anyone can become an expert at something if they stick to it religiously for 10,000 hours. That means if you worked at it for 4 hours a day, 7 days a week, you would become a fabulous artist in about 6 and a half years or so. A less stringent guideline is the 1,000 hour rule that says you can become pretty good at something with 1,000 hours of practice.

That’s just a general notion, I suppose. Some people are gifted with natural artistic talent, and for them they can achieve much more in a much shorter time. But even if you are a terrible artist now, the point is that anyone can improve with lots of hard work.

What you need to do, Krew, is set aside specific hours each week to concentrate on your drawing. Find a place where you can focus without distraction and enjoy the process of drawing. It is clearly in your blood because when you aren’t drawing it is all you think about, right?

Now the other thing you need to do is get rid of that inner critic—the artist’s worst enemy, the one that makes you throw away your sketches as soon as you draw them. Instead of tossing them, keep them, even the ones you really hate. Keep them in folders and date them. Then keep drawing. Then, a few months, or maybe a year or more from now, go back and look at them and compare them to what you are currently drawing. If you have been practicing at least 10 or more hours a week, Papabear bets you will see considerable improvement.

Here’s some evidence to back up: 
Picture Yours truly, a nonartist, drew it after a few lessons.

Maybe not great art, but not bad, right? Papabear would love to see some of your art sometime.

Bear Hugs,

Papabear  

Looking to get a commission!

So, this week while everyone was away to Anthrocon, Shiva of Knotcast, (www.foxstuffers.com), invited us to join our podcasts together to meld some crazy unusual creature while all of her hosts were away at con. This special episode is full of rants, comedy, and a good amount of the serious face. We got into some of our Emails and caught up on some of our backlog. Also Knotcast shared some of their emails with us to share.

This episode recounts on the many tales of the famed vagoo and the mystery workings of the “teeth and gears” that surround it. Knotcast’s topic for the week was Women in the Fandom which we melded with out Gossip topic to create a most…interesting combination.

We are almost caught up on our emails but we urge you to send us e-mails as we are here to assit! Next episode will be business as normal and The bunny will be retelling his Anthrocon adventures! Next episode topic we will be revising CONVENTIONS. Given that Anthrocon is still fresh in everyone’s minds, send in you recaps of Anthrocon, or any other conventions for that matter. Anything convention related, and of course any other emails will get read so send them on in! Write in and let us know, we’re here to lend a hand!
