Beware of Josh Haygood Sex 2.01K in The Making?

An e-maile is going around the fandom:

My name is Josh and I’m a producer in New York working on a tv documentary about furries and the furry fandom. And since everybody asks, no I’m not a bot, and yes I am a real person (you can google my name). I had a chance to check out your AWESOME video and I’d like to know if you still keep in touch with the fursuiters. I’m trying to find some suiters who would be willing to participate in the doc we’re producing.

I’m really looking forward to hearing from you. Many thanks in advance.

You can check the rest of conversation here.  Mr. Haygood has tires to MTV and it looks like another plushies furries hack job. This guy had been thown out of FA. Mr. Haygood I know the media, the fandom  has been burnt once by MTV twisting the fandom into a sick fetish; not this time John not this time.

Two Problematic F Words In The Fandom Other Than Fetish. PT. One

The first has to do with Uncle Kage’s posts on Eurofurence board, solicitation for money for   Ranting 2’s airfare and the firestorm it caused. The word today is fame and how fame has gone straight to some furs head. What rubbed me wrong is Kage claiming if Ranting 2 does not make it Eurofurence, everybody will be sad. The post is  playing on buy this magazine or we’ll kill the dog campaign, furthermore it is a sweeping generalization I know of furs who do not care for both. What got many hackles up Kage seems to say Ranting 2 is too important contributor to the fandom not to go. To me he only a small part of Furry Fandom, There are many artist, musicians, and fursuiters who contribute  far more to the  fandom than a potty mouth comedian who not really headliner material. I feel 2 Gryphon’s bet contribution of the fandom is when he is sober and off the stage as person who is knowledgeable about the media.   In addition we are fan of our creations and do not have a central creator or celebrities like Gorge Lucas and Star Wars.  Finally there are plenty of furry conventions that never been visited by Kage or 2 and are doing just fine.   

The thing is I always felt Kage has a paternalistic streak to him I find annoying; When he speaks I get the impression he look down on us as children especially when dealing with the media. Now I feel Kage is showing messianic complex

Why Christian furs.

A good friend challenged me at one of our fur meets. He ask why Christian furs. As I thought about it, it was a good question why. To him we are all just furries, and separate identity in the furry community only will cause a division. The thing is I could not come up with a good answer at the time.  As I look back, perhaps he and I lack of clarity is we Christians integrate the fandom and Christianity. Second, we as Christians are the light of the Gospel, even to the furry community. Finally, we share a distinctive relationship as brothers and sisters in Christ that transcends and become part of the fandom we belong. This can be I see similar beliefs amongst Christian Science Fiction and Anime fans. I am also not discounting the question was asked as more to opposition to Christianity or that Christians chose to identify themselves publicly.

O Lord, I Pray I know what I am doing.

For years the PDX furs is dying because of drama and frankly poor leadership. I figure its time for me to step up the plate and do thing resurrecting a furry community in Portland Oregon, as long I have time in Portland. I know I may be walking into a lions den and but head with two furries but I been in worst situations. It would shame to let thing die out.
