Since watching the National Geographic 'Taboo' preview posted a few days ago, I keep finding myself thinking about the public perception of furries and how much (if at all) furries care about public perceptions.

As of right now, the fandom seems relatively small compared to other fandoms and it seems that most people have either a) never heard of furries or b) have no opinion(s) towards them. That said, I also know of multiple accounts of negative media portrayals and a general concern of additional negative portrayals from multiple furs… However, what if the exact opposite were true?

What if, instead, furries were consistently portrayed in a positive light? What if they became the next 'thing'? What if it went so far that it became commercial? Would this too be discouraged?

TL;DR Do you care about perceptions of the fandom? If so, do you have a preference for what they should be?

Episode 2 - Welcome back for another weekly instalment of the WagzTail Podcast 2.0. This week we're still talking about Christmas: the movies and traditions as well as some awesome folks who are still willing to stand up for the real reason for the season.

This is the first of two episodes wherein we’re missing a Kyo – which may be for the best, since he’s going to KILL US ALL when he gets back – and we’ve got five e-mails to read! Everything from relationship woes to health issues, from computer brands to writer’s block, we’ve got your back! This episode opens with a reading from Smokescale of his own original – VERY original – work, and we’ve got Istanbul’s horrible word of the week, the origins of Justin Bieber, Smokescale’s credits as a nerd, and other assorted malarky and nonsense!

Next week’s topic is…open! That’s right, it’s been quite a while since we had an open topic week. Sure, every week is technically open topic week in that we’re here to help you with any problem you may have, but we’re going to see how it goes when we don’t include a topic for one week. Write on in, we want to hear from you!

I've recently read I.S.O (in entirety in one night/morning) and totally loved it! I'd like to find similar comics, but I haven't had much luck (all the stuff I've found is either dead or (dare I say it?) too gay). Does anyone else know of a live/completed comic series like this?

The trailers have begun to arrive for Madagascar 3, Europe’s Most Wanted, coming next June in 3D from Dreamworks Animation (of course). It’s directed by Eric Darnell (who co-directed the first two Madagascar films) and Conrad Vernon (Monsters vs. Aliens). Here’s the plot as described by the Wikipedia entry for the film: “Alex the Lion (Ben Stiller), Marty the Zebra (Chris Rock), Melman the Giraffe (David Schwimmer), and Gloria the Hippopotamus (Jada Pinkett Smith) set out to return to New York after escaping to Africa. Dependent on the mechanical know-how of the notorious monkeys and penguins, their plan inevitably goes awry and they find themselves stranded in Monte Carlo, where they try to escape Europe from animal control by joining up with a traveling circus by chance. Led by the venerable tiger Vitali, the animal-centered circus has seen better days. During the course of a tour through a series of European cities that ends in a fabulous big top in the heart of London, Alex, Marty, Melman, and Gloria help Vitaly, Gia the jaguar, and Stefano the sea lion, rediscover their passion for show business and reinvent circus performance.” In other words, they show them how to move it, move it…
