Isn't it interesting though, looking at this through the lens of the current era? especially around the now growing trend of trans surgeries and the hundreds of gender identities that get so ridiculous people are trying to introduce literal animal pronouns and things like actual BUGS into their identities? It seems humans have this insatiable desire for group identity...we want to belong to a meaningful group but the problem is, all these groups never speak to MEANINGFUL human values. How much of your life can you dedicate to anthro art? Not a lot. So it has to segment, over and over and OVER until you're left with hyper-niche identities which renders a person essentially a unique individual again, but surrounding themselves with others who happen to share those qualities as well...basically....friends. Look at what main stream religion does. It has groups of like-minded people getting together once (or more) a week to all share their collective beliefs with one another, and from that, stems communal identities. Communal support. What the furry communities have been doing, is what humans have been doing since the dawn of time. Pursuing deep meaning through group identity. But when these groups fail to provide that deep meaning (because its often superficial IDENTITY driven) you end up with shallow fandoms, shallow communities, all attacking one another, dividing over and over again There's no CORE belief holding the furry fandom together. It's literally just a visual artistic representation of animals. Anything further than that gets into religion, like attributing animals to human personality, which is done for example in the Chinese zodiac and Egyptian mythology. Psychology is fascinating. There's nothing a human being can do that would render me speechless, it would just render my mind into an endless assortment of questions. Furries just want to show you whoat the they are on the inside. It's not ALWAYS that they hate who they are (they do sometimes) its that they know, that deep inside, every single human being, there's something special. A "spirit" lets say. That spirit, is invisible, and the furry fandom makes that spirit visible. Which I think is amazing, despite it being of often confused and mislead into deviant human behaviors. Kindred spirits. Lost spirits. They'll find their own way, hopefully. Fascinating story.
@LionKimbro Жыл бұрын
@@CircumcisionIsChildAbuse I agree in the main, but want to suggest some ideas. First, I think the group identity follows after the inner dream. I think that “groups of people” in and of themselves, do not think make for meaning. Meaning is a relationship between an event, and the impact of that event on desires. We are social, and dream of society, so that is part of it. But it’s not the only thing- it’s the dream that animated the desire and makes things meaningful. The group identity is meaningless if you don’t care about the group. I think that it just happens that in groups, people have the opportunity to obtain the leverage to bring deep dreams to reality. A “group” of people in itself is not enough. I say this because I think that the kind of anthropological lens towards looking at philosophical ideas of meaning miss the spirit for the body. “Oh, see the bodies find meaning through bodies.” But it misses the plot. I have a friend who says “Star Wars was popular in 1977 just because of the marketing budget.” No, that isn’t why. The furry fandom I suspect DOES have core beliefs. But separate from that, I think that more importantly. the furry fandom shares a core DREAM. And it’s not just the visual artistic representation of animals. That’s another point where it is the shell rather than the essence. If I would stake my guess: The Furry fandom is about the dream of intimacy. It is the dream of feeling unalienated between the human, and the animal, starting with within one’s own skin. It is about the hearth, friendship, and very critically, sexually. It is about warmth, masculinity, and femininity. I think the furry fandom holds the human in suspicion, but rather than pursuing the alien or the transcendental (angels, vampires,) the furry pursues the animal-human mix. I think the reason people feel lost, is because they haven’t seen a representation of their ground in a way that makes sense to them.

Full blown nazis with flags and these arm ties and everything.

If it's the 'old' parties in the early 90s, honestly, they weren't that terrible. I think he was avoiding delving too deep into the old CYD archives and such. But a lot of them were, from the rumor mill and attendees--Mostly videogames, bootleg anime, and the religious watching of Animalympics, or screenings of cartoons before they were officially released, often due to the connections people in the parties had with animation. Later parties tend to change dramatically based on the group makeup. They run the range from very much gay swinger meetups, to LAN parties, to just sitting down and watching film. The ones I've been to, due to friends dragging me along mostly have been: 1) Why are these people not using the bedroom, I'm a lil uncomfortable with this. I think I'm gonna just focus on the movie and not THAT going on next to me. 2) Hanging out with nerdy lesbian girls, talking about The Secret World, and getting involved in the local Secret World community that was a thing at the time. Somehow the only one that involved talking about fetishes, as there was a discussion on softvore and one lady's extensive dildo collection, that she also doesn't use as she had a fear of penetration. 3) Videogames and MST3k. And then more videogames and MST3k. And D&D when we got sick of it. 4) Walk in the woods to talk about ethics and religion. 5) Drawmeets, where people just sit down, shoot shit, and attempt to draw as much as possible.

They dress up, do a few photo shoots in the park, and then get to work on their next costume.

4:09 I've often wondered what furries find so fascinating in anthropomorphic cartoon animals, compared to cartoon characters in general. I think this letter finally shed some clarity on that for me. Like they say, humans are serious, human-shaped animals aren't. Combine it with animal characters possessing traditionally easy-to-recognize traits that allow creators to avoid irksome human complexities, and it all makes sense.
@Its_Asteria Жыл бұрын
Yep! And it allows the characters to be more akin. No controversies no discrimination. Just funny human-like animals that are basically humans but look fluffy. That's a big part of the appeal.

@@Its_Asteria | It's also fascinating to me that y'all will tend to gravitate to the same handful of animals. Canine shapes clearly being the most popular. Any idea why that may be, aside from the positive connotations such imagery brings?

@@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworthHI! Furry of seven years here. It might be just that! Canids (and by extension felids) were so present in such q large population of people's lives, be it through a childhood pet, a favorite media, a favorite animal, or just what kind of animal you could see yourself as. Though a lot of the times, it's also "I think that one looks cool, I'd like my character to be that." It is really interesting, though. I think a lot of the canine sona's come from (without going back to the previous acknowledgments) is just how popular canines tend to be in American (where most furries tend to be) pop culture. Think Balto, Paw-Patrol, those stupid "alpha Lone wolf" shirts that so many middle-aged dads wear for some reason. It's a recognizable species that you can look at and just go "yep, that's a dog right there," no matter what style they're applied in, I mean. Look at Bluey (albeit, not American, but you get the point), those bastards are cylinders, and you can still tell they're dogs. It could also be band-wagon philosophy, a young/new furry sees how many people have canine songs and jump on with them.

@@buttondowndingo | Thanks for taking the time to give me this analysis! What interests me even more though is how there seems to be a definitive furry artstyle. While individual styles do sometimes show up, I've noticed that the majority of fursonas I see online tend to lean towards a very specific "Disney-ish animal mascot" style. Is that the result of the media they grew up with? How do you think it'll evolve with time?
@buttondowndingo11 ай бұрын
@potatopatato6610 That's more of a common "poster style" that more popular artists (Falfie is one to mention. Though we don't particularly like her much anymore) use. But art styles (including my own) are usually a big mesh of different inspirations, Disney is always a popular one because of just how much of a presence it has over almost every community centered around art ever. I think they're going to stay the same for the foreseeable future. The big artists in the fandom have always had some sort of a semi-toony style, with exaggerated features. I don't think it'll change anytime soon. But I have noticed a shift with more "loose" anatomy and features, really throwing the concept of "semi-realistic anatomy" at a wall and making out pf the resulting mush. A lot of furry artists are embracing the cartoon-iness and absurdity of it all, and I'm so happy to see it.

Technically, drawing anthropomorphic animals go a LONG way, possibly dating back to the Stone Age. Perhaps the most notable anthropomorphic depictions are some of the deities of Ancient Egypt (particularly Anubis (jackal), Ra (falcon), Horus (also falcon), Sobek (crocodile), Bastet (cat), Sekhmet (lioness), Thoth (ibis, or in Australia, "bin chicken"), and Seth (Seth Beast/Typhonic Beast/Sha, possibly a mythical animal)). In fact, Anubis and Bastet are popular among furries who are also history buffs, and Sobek is ESPECIALLY popular with scalies.

I've been a furry since 2012. It was helpful for me as a kid who had very few friends. I had a group of friends from a site called furryteens that was from around the country (and the world). I felt like I had a group of friends I belonged to, although I couldn't see them personally. Furries are pretty tight knit, a bit odd, but almost universally very nice. The ones who want attention are usually the ones starting and continuing drama, go figure. The community has helped me through a lot of dark times in my life. I'm a deer, if anyone's wondering. That was my original pick and it's been 9 years, I feel like it fits me very well. I had some idea of the history of furries up to the 80s, but this is so in depth.

Fun fact: Charlene Trotman, the creator of the "burned furs" mentioned in this video, would later go by the name C. Spike Trotman, or Spike, and found Iron Circus Comics, a fairly major force in the indie comix scene and Chicago's largest indie comic company. She's also an avid pornographer and has published multiple smutty comics by well-known adult comic artists. After 20+ years, I think she's mellowed out quite a bit and I honestly can't find it in me to bear her any ill will; for all that her moralizing and puritanical attitude harmed the fandom as a whole, she always seemed to approach it from an angle of genuine, if misguided, frustration with the people she saw as harming her weird little niche of the internet.

we can"t, didn't you watch the documentary? the fandom was basically created on the idea that anthro cartoon characters can be for adults and and appeal to adult tastes; drama, violence, philosophy, sex and other artistic expressions. Even though some of the more disturbing stuff is there (and we shouldn't allow most of it to see the light of day) it's still as much a part of the fandom as those who only draw sfw art and are more vanilla, being overly exclusive will only divide the fandom more.

Do you know how many children are in the fandom? Exactly.
@codybrady66375 жыл бұрын
no, cuz i'm not quartz husky. I know there is a lot of children in the fandom and it's ok IF we have separate spaces for them! Conventions are doing the right thing when they either don't allow children or have special admittance for them with permission from the parents and the con staff needs to keep them out of the nsfw section of the dealers den. This is not easy on the convention staff though so there possibly needs to be separate conventions that are geared for children and people that don't want to be exposed to anything over pg-13. Adults and children can share the fandom but there must be a DISTINCT DIVIDING LINE between the sfw and nsfw parts of the fandom!

This proves that if you do something ironically long enough, you eventually forget and do it seriously.

That is because irony does not exist and is used by enemies to disguise subversion as a fun pastime. Anyone who wants to peddle irony to you should be told to kill themselves ironically. Chances are that they will not do so. Why? Because they would be unironically dead. Ergo, irony does not exist as an end product. What comes out looks, acts, smells like the real thing and is indistinguishable to it.

@@dorklymorkly3290 Yeah, you don't get It. "Ironically", by definition", means to do/say/make something with an humourous aim. Let's take gay sex (since we are under a furry video It makes sense). Picture this. I am with my group of friends playing DnD or some other RPG. I play a female character. Then we go out to get a beer and while discussing the game I say "If I was a woman irl, I would totally fuck you dude" while joking about my character and he says "Let's fuck anyway, c'on" and then laugh. That's irony. If you then have sex in the bathroom, even if you say "no homo, it's Just a joke" It doesn't make It irony. There is a clear distinction between irony and "saying something is irony just to cover my real interest in something". In fiction this can be used in many ways. But if your parody of... Let's say, YA distopya novels, doesn't make the reader understand that it's a parody you Just made a bad parody. Irony, as written in novels at the start of the 900, was pretty easy to see because the writers did a good job

16:25 - "And we actually had to deal with police who had to go through the dealers room to deal with people who were selling bootleg videotapes." Imagine being a cop in the mid 90s being called in to tell the grown man dressed as a cartoon wolf that he can't sell his "Chinese cartoons" to people in the Holiday Inn lobby.
