A french series NO DUB [AND THERE WILL NEVER BE ONE FROM WHAT I HAVE HEARD] with subs. It's to promote the game Wakfu which looks kind of fun, but my interest was with series. I finished watching the series and felt like sharing but can't any other then pirate bay torrent. Even their official site has, "coming soon, episodes 1 and 2" It is a worthwhile watch and I recommend it, though I wish I had a little more to show other then small youtube clips of it. But come on, dragons, magic, portals, time manipulation, semi-fur (there are some furs in there). Check it out if you want.

I'm really down on my luck and finding some new friends would be a wonderful experience. I'm honestly just trying to find either an online community or a semi-large group of people who hang out somewhere on a regular basis. I'm a recently single guy in his mid-twenties who's lost virtually all of his friends at this point and wants a social life outside of work. I'm pretty open to all kinds of people. I'm straight, not religious and pretty easy to get along with. Hell, I even pay for my own rent and food. (amazing, isn't it?)

Here is an article on the furry fandom in the online edition of "20 Minutes" (a Swiss newspaper, dated August 10).

A Google translation of the article, from original French, reads:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Dress up as giant teddy? The "fursuiters" do. This unusual movement arrives in Europe.

Created outside the conventions of science fiction in the United States in 80 years, the movement of "furries" and "fursuiters" landed in Europe. These young adults (average age is 24 years old) create an avatar and animal don his costume. Thus disguised, they go to conventions, or march, as was the case on August 7 in the Parc de Vincennes in Paris (France).

The "furries" are organized into small community. They have an own wiki ( WikiFur ), many forums and even a dating site . Social networks also allow them to communicate and organize events. England and Germany had the largest communities "fursuiters" of Europe. France, she would bring together 30 to 400 "furries", the newspaper " Le Parisien ".

What unites these adults is the passion of the transformation of man into an animal. In addition, Marline, a student of 18 years, says the " Parisien "she likes to see" the look amazed "when the children paraded through the streets.

The "fursuiting" is a hobby that is expensive: about 2600 francs for a full suit.

But that is not on the internet and on the street as "fursuiters" stand out. They also appear in television series (one episode of "CSI" is devoted to them or on posters. Sign that the acceptance is close on 17 August, the European Convention Eurofurence count Jim Martin, who is none other than creator of "Sesame Street" as guest of honor. If this is not the consecration, that!

The well-known special effects house Digitial Domain is trying (once again) to start up its own animation house, this time in Florida. It’s dubbed the new studio Tradition — which is perhaps odd, as it will be working on CGI films, rather than the “traditional” hand-painted sort. Anyway, it’s been announced that Tradition’s first film will be called The Legend of Tembo, slated for release in 2014. Directed by Disney veterans Aaron Blaise (Brother Bear) and Chuck Williams (Glago’s Guest), Tembo tells the story of an African elephant calf who is captured and taken to India — where he is trained to battle in a deadly war.

Did you know we have Apps?

These were developed for us by a 3rd party – they are basic apps for reading the site and getting push notifications when new articles are written.

You can find the Android App here: Android Market

There is a delay in getting the iPhone App – Apple told our developer that it is against their TOS for a developer to publish multiple apps with the same code base, as different apps. I did some research into this, and it’s common for Apps designed to read Blogs, and also for Apps designed to stream radio.

In the mean time, since we’ll have to open our own developer account to publish the App, the developer has given us a workaround – they have an app called “UppSite” – and FNN is a part of that Application.

You can find the UppSite App here: UppSite

Oklacon is the largest outdoor furry convention in the world, and it is the longest running camping format convention in the United States. It occurs each year shortly before Halloween in Roman Nose State Park near Watonga, Oklahoma. It is one of the most attended furry events in a seven state Great Plains area, from Nebraska to New Mexico to Louisiana, with nearly 300 furs attending each fall.

A stark contrast to hotel conventions which often have the same annual indoor programming, Oklacon offers a week of outdoor events that take advantage of its scenic venue. Events include hiking, volleyball, stargazing, arts and crafts, and an epic game of “tag” called Predator and Prey, which involves up to one hundred furs simultaneously through the wooded group camp area.

Since 2004, Oklacon has had the same charity, Safari’s Interactive Animal Sanctuary in Broken Arrow, OK. For years, Oklacon has had the consistently highest average charity donation per attendee in the worldwide fandom, averaging nearly $20 per person. Having raised over $26,492 for Safari’s during its tenture, Oklacon is the charity’s largest single contributor.

Oklacon: A Stitch in Time Saves 9

A Stitch in Time Saves 9

Oklacon takes a step backward through a rip in the fabric of time. Full of anachronisms, Oklacon 9 celebrates all things ahead, and behind their time with a nod to the Steampunk genre. Embracing Victorian Science Fiction as the basis for this year’s theme, attendees are encouraged to don their top hats, monicles, and other copper and brass adorements this October, as our furry family gathers another year under the starry skies and next to the crackling campfires of Roman Nose.

In particular I'd like to hear from furries who are outside observers to the My Little Pony phenomenon. I was having a conversation with some fur recently who apparently hates bronies. He called them "highly invasive", (overlapping with other fandoms) and criticized the whole fad as being nothing more than a bunch of idiots suddenly jumping on something because other idiots are doing it.

I'm not here to defend My Little Pony. I find the whole thing mildly amusing at best. But this isn't the only fur I've seen bashing MLP. The idea of a furry hating or trolling such a similar fandom is hypocritical and saddening to me. I love our community very much for being so close-knit, friendly and accepting, so it absolutely boggles my mind that we can sometimes be so pompous to outsiders, and even each other for being too different. Come on, we know better than that. Furries know what rejection is like.

So tell me all about communities overlapping with us that you don't like or agree with. Therians, zoos, bronies, otherkin, whatever. Do you think exclusion of these from furry is justified?

Am I just an idealist hippie for not seeing anything wrong with extending a kind paw to fringe communities such as these? Or have we gotten a bit full of ourselves?

EDIT: Responses to the original question and bigger one are both fine. Got carried away a little bit.
