It Finally Happened

It finally happened; a pedophile baby fur fetishist in the fandom finally gets caught for soliciting a 15 year old.

First of all not all furries are sexual deviants, we do have a small minority and they have a knack in getting all the attention. The dark secret of the fandom is our non judgmental attitude and moral relativism that has permeated society. The problem is when the fandom tolerates every fetish that come along without question or limits eventually somebody will push the envelope until we have a pedophile baby fur soliciting sex from  a minor. Once the fandom tolerated the Adult Baby Diaper Lover community, eventually one person took a sign to push the fandom envelope to pedophilia.  

It is not that fetishism in furry fandom happened in a vacuum, but reflects our modern moral relativistic culture in America.  It more about what your average teen and twenty something  brings in to fandom from the classroom or MTV rather  than being something caused by the fandom. It my hope that this incident and resulting anal exam of the fandom opens some eyes and realize we can not be open to every fetish less we drag down the fandom.

PS Alan, don’t drop the soap.

You Get the Fandom One Deserves

Ok I am not a happy camper about this, thanks to some in the fandom Kyell Gold will get his 15 minutes of fame on the front page of Wikipedia for is accomplishment in winning the Ursa Major Awards including two for the 2008 awards. This would be no problem except Mr. Gold expertise is writing Homo-erotic furry pornography.  

This dovetail back what 2 The Ranting Griffin talked about, we are getting the fandom we deserve when we parade people like Mr. Gold to the world, and the world out side fandom laughs and call us sexual reprobates in animal costumes. If we want to clean the image of the fandom we need to stop propping up Smut writers as fine examples of furry fandom. Then again the issue goes deeper to how we the boomer generation mange to screw up society and future generation with our narcissism and hedonism.   

 

 “The green one “objected to my criticism saw I need to nominate something better. As somebody who been reading series Science fiction since 1970’s and avid reader I say first give me something worthy to read. The problem is quality material worthy for any award is hard to find for example the numerous times I leave the dealers den empty handed. Ether I get furry pornography or the furry version of 90210. The fact the Mr. Gold was able to receive the number of nominations he did show the dubious nature and perhaps the irrelevance of the Ursa Major Awards, not to mention why use a small convention like All Fur Fun to announce them.

FurNation Throws in the Towel

“FurNation, a websystem that I have operated for the furry fandom since 1996, almost 14 years, will be closing and going offline forever on May 16th, 2009 at Midnight.”

 

When I start looking into this furry thing FurNation was one of the first sites I went to. Luckily being exposed to yiff on the site did not come to later. In addition the adult nature of the site is one reason I never could get involved with FurNation and why I am indifferent in its passing. I am strictly G or PG.

Furry Update

I still looking for work it had been a quiet two weeks and no job yet. I admit I made a few mistakes like not sticking with one firm for a contact. I also am dealing with a medical issue so I need to hold on to what money I have. As a result I am unable to attend All Fur Fun this year. There is a slight chance if I can drum up enough eBay business.

The last few Furmeets were a pleasure. We here in Portland Oregon have a two furmeets an indoor one at Pioneer Place mall on the last Saturday of the month and a outdoor one when the weather is good on the second Sunday. The 28 March meet was interesting.  Kumoricon, the Portland Anime convention was using cosplayers for a promotion and they took up a part of the food court. For once we were not the weird dressed ones at the food court ;).  Then again all we need was a few Star Wars types and we could have a little geek convention.

 

Please do keep me in your prayers, I can hope the doctors can find out what wrong with me.

Of Furries and Furverts.

Recently I found a post on 2  the Ranting Gryphon’s Live Journal   about Michael Cogliantry soon to be released book Furverts, the secret life of furries. I do agree with some of his points that we have nobody else to blame but out selves, but there is more to the subject at hand: how furry fandom reflects a post Christian/Modern era   

Fist let me deal with Mr. Michael Cogliantr. Furverts is nothing more that repackaging and recycling his earlier work Furry Kama Sutra. The videos have been around since 2006 and he displayed his work in 2008. I guess the art show circuit is not bringing in the bucks so he recycles his trash.

Now back to the point being how furry fandom’s desire to be inclusive is a fine example of an observation I see, furry fandom is a case of art initiating reality The fury culture is a microcosm of a post Christian or post modern philosophy especially when it comes to morality. In a post modem culture, morality is a personal choice including how one publicly displays one’s choice; furthermore, there are no absolutes.  For example it doesn’t take long in a discussion on cleaning up furry fandom until somebody will post “no, do not force your morality on me” line. Another example was the hostility and criticism over Megaplex attempt to impose a PG13 standard. It also doesn’t help that the vast majority of furries were born after 1980 and are the generation raised and taught on a steady diet of relativism.  

 

The problem I have with this openness and the criticism of any moral standard in the fandom is it will eventually drive furry fandom to obscurity.  More troubling is how non furry related, sexual fetishes like BDSM and balloon fetish are finding avenues in furry fandom. The tragedy is a small minority will deprive the majority of the richness of furry fandom as society and business will not lend support, good press, or even convention space.

 

If the fandom is to survive it will not be in the  obscure niche of sexual fetishes but opening up to mainstream public, this include bringing in families and older adults. I would love to see furry become like science fiction where I see fans from young children to senior citizens.
