The Furry Fandom; Friend or Foe? Part 1

We crossed paths with a movement known as the “Furry Fandom.” What is this movement, and why should we care to know about it?

How are we a movement? It's in the name we are a fandom, not a movement.


"According to Wikipedia, The furry fandom is a subculture interested in anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics. Examples of anthropomorphic attributes include exhibiting human intelligence and facial expressions, speaking, walking on two legs, and wearing clothes. The term “furry fandom” is also used to refer to the community of people who gather on the internet and at furry conventions."

Wikipedia can be shady. But this is 100% backed by my 7 years in the fandom. And that is all it really is just a label for people that like anthro animals. It is not as deep as people make it out to be it really is that simple.

Two things should be mentioned to start: this is no small fringe movement;  activities and conventions are ample and thousands attend.

1. I-T-S N-O-T A M-O-V-E-M-E-N-T
2. Worldwide there are about 50-100ish cons a year and thousands attend true.

"Secondly, Furries aggressively and tirelessly defend their movement. This got my attention; if Furry Fandom is just a bunch of adults dressing up for fun every now and then like a yearly Halloween party, why all the fuss? "

That's called being on the internet Paul. Most fandoms have members that react like this. Right now I believe the current trend is kpop.

Furry Fandom is much more than an excuse to throw a party; it is a culture complete with its own formal elements such as fursona, plushies, Yiff, etc.

Right its a fandom most fandoms are like this.

"ALL Christians should be aware of what Furry Fandom is for the following reasons: it confirms what we believe about human behavior and wellbeing in general," 

I think it's obvious what this means and why it is funny.

"and it is, in fact, an imminent danger while its “fursona” conveys images that are disarming and seem harmless. And, the ramifications for children are absolutely huge." 

Its all about the children with you people. Adults can do things do. if your argument relies on the think of the children defense you might not have an argument just saying.


 If 2 plus 2 equals 4, and it does, this movement poses a huge danger for children.

1. Christianity is more of a danger then cartoon animals.
2. Then parent your children and tell them no stop using children as a defense for you disliking of something. Not just furry but EVERYTHING.

Secondly, Furry Fandom relies heavily on playing the “misunderstood” card.

Cant defend yall overuse this

But, the best judge of anything is what it does. We are going to look at what Fandom is, and what it does.
Thank Anubis you are finally calling a fandom.
