Meet The Furries

[@elizabethwarren1424]

Honestly it’s just like cosplaying at your own OC which is kind of cool, I’d never do it, but obviously some people do and they seem to enjoy it and it brings people together, so I don’t see an issue.

[@maephobic]

Thank you for being ever so sweet to the fandom, unlike some other comments!

This is literally the sort of comments we need! I might be a photographer but I'm also a furry too. It literally is just another form of cosplay!

honestly, i never understood why so many people hate on furries. they're just doing something they love, who cares if it's cringey or strange in your opinion, they're not harming anyone. just let people live, man. i'm glad they've found something they can identity with.

[@cainmanson9774]

Jemina Tamminen there was a point at the early stages of the furry fandom that did paint it in a very bad light, look into the early convention and there were many cases of harassment and sexual harassment that when were reported on nothing was done about them, people spoke out and the media got wind of it, it's much better now but the early years have really affected it, look into it yourself if you want more information. Also some people are ignorant.

the only comments I see are negitive comments and comments to do with Dan Howell (why even)... look, yeh its very weird but I gotta hand it to the BBC for making such a nice video and I actually regret saying no to the BBC team who messaged me about doing it. Will happily work with yous if you think about doing something like this again

[@InuyashaTT]

As part of the Phandom I can say that we’re talking about Dan because he jokes a lot about being a furry, and as he worked for the BBC before, we think the connection is funny. The other thing is, this was an adorable video. It showed good things about furries and it gave such a positive side to the furry fandom. I don’t know what people are all about, but it warmed my heart.

Well then maybe the supposed 90% of furries should tell the 10% that makes furries look bad to knock it off and maybe people wouldn't generalize the fandom as a bunch of perverted degenerates. Oh, but you can't, because people will be people. They're just gonna keep doing as they please in spite of furries trying to be gatekeepers of the fandom while people on the outside continue to see them in a bad light, and the wheel of hate and ignorance will keep on turning.

[@LimeLion12]

I wore my fursuit for Halloween last year and at one of the houses, a lady opened the door and was just so overjoyed. She yelled for her husband to come see it and asked if I could pose for a picture. She was so amazed, it was one of the sweetest things ever! Another time me and some fur friends went to a nearby festival in costume, and it seemed like everyone wanted a picture or a hug. We even rode the carousel together in our suits and it was so fun waving to people and seeing little kids point at us. Last year or so I believe, I surprised a friend of mine in fursuit and she gave me the biggest bear hug and couldn't stop laughing because she had never seen anything like it and thought it was really cool. Those are just a few moments that have stuck with me. I have so many wonderful memories from this fandom, and I don't plan on leaving!

so what If those "hater" genially have something constructive to say that would make the fandom better that's holding it back because that's what I did when I was in the fandom pointing out some flaws about it that was making it hard for me to personally enjoy the fandom. I didn't expect it to go anywhere I simply laid my thoughts out on the table but instead I got harassed and got given all tons of grief instead of a civil conversation and in the end I just left the fandom as a result of that.

[@dystopiandownfall9188]

@@DGDDice I'm sorry you were disrespected. Some furries (like me) still care, and I especially like that you wanted it to be better for everyone.

[@rubatowolf1170]

As much as I love this video, there is one problem. It perpetuates the ongoing narrative that Furry is all fursuits or costumes. You do NOT need a costume to be a furry. A passion for anthropomorphic animals is all you need. Many in the fandom are artists, musicians, puppeteers, or otherwise contribute in their own way aside from wearing a costume. I don’t intend to take away from this video because it is very good, but I hope that if you’re watching this that you don’t feel like you need a costume to be welcome, because you don’t.

[@DGDDice]

Sorry but I disagree. I still remember when I was still in the fandom and I was talking with some non-suiters in the fandom there does seem to be this hierarchy of furs of if you wear a suit you actually get treated like an actual person in the fandom and then if you dont wear a suit no one really bothers with you too much no matter how social you try to be. All I see it as is a popularity contest at the end of the day with the fandom. If it wasn't so much that way I might of stuck around but when I brought this topic up I just got harassed out of the fandom.

Rapists and zoophiles aren't furries, whether or not if they wear the suit and go to conventions, they're just rapists and zoophiles. They don't belong in our fandom. Furries are doing something they love, if it's sexual or anything, who cares, it's not harming YOU in any way. P.S. Think about other fandoms, (this is a rant about the sexual side), anime has WAY more hardcore stuff than the furry fandom when it comes to sexual stuff. Not only that, but MLP, and even video games that are super popular.

I am so happy even non-furries are in the comments, being so generous and kind! The fandom has been, and is still going through bad stuff. Like, 1 out of 10 furries are sexual. I am making my fursuit and honestly. I have had so much support. When people say it is bad to be a furry, they don’t understand how much fun and how much joy it brings. It is a hobby, and honestly. It is no different than cosplaying (in my opinion). And to all the furries/supportive non-furries. Y’all changed my life. In probably the best way possible! Thank you.

[@brookeshrimp]

Never understood why people hate on furries so much, (guessing bc they're shown in a negative light most of the time) there are so many people out in the world doing horrible things. Not something I would do, but many furries seem like very positive and happy people. Let them have their fun, it brings people together and isn't hurting anyone. For anyone who is a furry, fuck the haters and keep doing what makes you happy.

People have insecurities. They can dislike their face, their body, their weight, anything to do with their self image and they can also be extremely socially anxious which makes it hard to communicate with people. Behind these masks, no one knows what they look like, and it allows them to talk in a community that they're comfortable in. Imagine it as being on the internet and being able to communicate to people anonymously, but instead of digitally talking to people, you can physically interact with them. They enjoy this life style because there are so many other people like them, and it allows them to be happy.

Crazy how there’s a video about the fandom that isn’t 80 year old news reports yelling at each other and people openly bashing it, it’s an interview with actually people in there

[@kioku119]

Even if there are actual people in it doesn't mean it will be a good representation. I've heard stories of news reports screwing people over in all sorts of ways, and basically continuing until they get something they can use the way they want. As one example there was a case where a girl fursuit at a convention (a long time ago) agreed to answer a reporters questions thinking it would be okay. She said something completely Innocent in context (about it being really hot in the suit and stuff, in the literal sense.. they get up to like 100 degrees). The reporter took the words and patched them in somewhere that was completely irrelevant to what he actually asked her to make it sound like she was talking about creapy sexual things. By the way, she was minor and her parents got really upset at her and never let her go out to conventions and stuff again. I know this because it was in a story by Anthrocon staff that they were using to tell people to not talk to reporters unless constaff is with them. I haven't been to Anthrocon, but I heard the story in a video. I've heard other ones too where a network got a girl to agree to go on a show to talk about her suiting/suit making where they made it sound like it was a show on creative interests or such and it was actually a show on creepy addictions and once she signed a contract to be in the show they used it to bully her into acting in ways they asked her to even though it was not a representation of how she would actually act (like going up to/bothering strangers while in costume so she'd seem obnoxious and such).

Fursuiting is literally just another form of cosplay. Dressing up as a character who just happens to be an animal. And, also, not all furries have suits. In fact, the majority don't have on but it's the fursuits that tend to be the main focus for those outside the fandom. And like I have vaguely mentioned, it's a fandom so just deal with it and get on with your lives...thank you.

Say you love all things sonic related and you end up getting a fursuit of sonic and you get to be him for a while, it's like that. You're who you want to be and love.

Love the video!💕 I like how you a interviewed furries and and talked about why people are furries. The community is generally a nice place, although we can have some sort of drawbacks from certain things (porn, people acting like they're hot shit, rude people or people who act inappropriate in public) which stands out like a sore thumb from the rest of the community (because hate grabs more attention than positivity..) But you know, almost every fandom that has existed has similar drawbacks like that. Things like that can't just be easily prevented :/ I'm proud to be in such a friendly (for the most part) community, and I'm glad you did a video on it! (Although there was a flaw of only interviewing furries that had fursuits and not interviewing people that didn't have a fursuit that were still furry, but hey for the most part I really enjoyed this video!) I also love that you didn't treat and show off furries as something weird or inhumane (although it's kinda weird I gotta admit, but it's kinda the same as a mascot if you think about it?) And for the hate comments (which I don't see?) Were they all reported/deleted or something? I mean it's good that they're not visible anymore, but I doubt BBC would take their time to delete comments-

God this comment section is awful. What have these people done to deserve all this hate?

[@artemisishere]

We have done nothing to deserve the hate we get

[@TheKametamis]

Loved this piece. It brought a tear to my eye, the fact that it has made such a difference to these peoples lives. It’s just such a shame there’s a stigma around furries, but this should help build towards more acceptance. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@GiratinaofFury]

Why do they have to use footage of us doing day to day tasks in fursuit for establishing shots? We only really wear our suits at events, conventions, or when blogging, not for doing housework.

Remember…. No furries 🔫
