The was a lot of talk late last year among animation fans about The Hub, a new cable channel created as a joint venture between Discovery Channel and the Hasbro toy company. The Hub was started as direct competition for the likes of The Family Channel. As such, they show original animated TV series during the day — almost entirely based on various Hasbro toy lines — an sit-com re-runs at night. One of the current flagships of the former is My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, a flash animation series. It was developed for television by Lauren Faust, who is well-known in animation circles for her work on Powerpuff Girls and Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends with her husband, Craig McCracken. Here’s the series description from Wikipedia: “The series stars a unicorn pony named Twilight Sparkle, who has been known to be a pupil of the world’s ruler Princess Celestia. Seeing the young pony buried in books, the princess gives her the task of making friends, sending her, and a young dragon named Spike, to Ponyville. There, they meet some interesting ponies, including tomboyish Rainbow Dash, glamorous Rarity, hard-working Applejack, timid Fluttershy, and hyperactive Pinkie Pie. Together, they explore the ins and outs of the town, solve various problems, and make even more friends. Every day is a lesson for Twilight, but none as important as the magic of friendship. At the end of each episode, Twilight relays a report to her mentor Celestia, telling her what friendship has taught her.” The series is animated by Studio B Productions in Vancouver, Canada.

My SO and I have enjoyed the occasional furry art every now and then but never really gotten into it. Lately, however, we have both taken a strong liking into the furry subculture. We just got back from an anime con and she decided to buy a tail, ears, and collar from the Furstars dealer. We couldn't afford anything for me unfortunately. I know that just the tail and ears doesn't make one a furry but we would both like to learn more about it and become part of the community. So could anyone give some advice or links that would help out some newborn furries?

The following podcast was recorded on Further Confusion, in this podcast we ask Kyell Gold about the release of his new book Isolation Play and about some of his other works like Waterways and Volle.

Arakum’s Note: I know! my english sucks and I was nervous as it is my first podcast, bear with me

Editor’s Note: No, this is not Guillermo from Jimmy Kimmel Live interviewing Kyell Gold =3

About Isolation Play:

“Devlin Miski thought coming out on national TV would be the hardest part about being a gay football player. But it’s when his press conference is over that the trouble really starts. The athletic tiger and his boyfriend Lee, a fox with a tongue as quick as his wit, still won’t get many breaks in their fight for understanding. They’ll need to deal with a stubborn reporter determined to get a story any way he can, furious parents, and hostile teammates–not to mention each other.”

Personally, I felt that Lauren (the girl in MSA who was a furry) was driven to the fandom initially as an escape from the pains of her father's death. I think that his death caused her personality to flip around (she was described as being outgoing, and not shy prior to her father's death), and the fandom allowed for her to be able to escape her pains and other negative emotions tied to her own self-image by donning a fursuit.

However, it is clear that her mother and cousin are causing her to develop even more pain due to their disapproval of her actions. That probably caused her to introvert even more, so that her fursona became her constant escape. I don't approve of them using "addiction" as a description for what she does; for example, it's like hiding from a monster. The monster keeps appearing, and then the person hiding is criticized for trying to escape from the monster, which then adds to the "size" of the monster, and therefore, the problem grows.

TL;DR: Fursuit was an escape. Family makes her want to escape even more by criticizing escape.

P.S. Remember, this is just my opinion. If you have an alternate opinion, please voice it in the comments. Just don't flame like, "Y U NO UNDERSTAND??!! BEING A FURRY IS ABOUT .... ", etc.

edit: Beginning of each episode says "This program depicts addictive behaviors that are dangerous and risky in nature. Viewers should not attempt" Generalizations about furries get! Also, clips on TLC website are titled: Fursuit FETISH.
