A Different Side to Furry Fandom? FFC Shows the Way

Like many furs, we bemoan those in the media and even in the fandom who to pigpen hole the fandom as an adult sexual fetish.  Instead of just complaining, Furs for Christ decided to do summing by sponsoring a place and activities for Furries who bring their young children to the Anthrocon. Furs for Christ hard work in providing and running Children’s activities has been recognized by Anthrocon and by KP, the programming director, in inviting Eagle’s Flight to come on staff as Athrocon’s Family Friendly Track leader. 

I want to congratulate Eagle’s Flight and KP hard work for this import job. We Furries need to acknowledge if the fandom is to grow and continue, we need to look beyond the 14 to 25 demographics, especially as furs marry and start families; we need to encourage the next generation.

The Perverts Keep on Coming

This times it different instead of a man seeking boy but older women having sex with a minor boy.
The problem is not furry fandom per say, I think the idea we all are sexual deviants looking for the next orgy is a bit overblown, but furry fandom dose have a few serious vulnerabilities. First we present a target rich environment with many young confused ostracized teen looking for acceptance. Second there is very little structure in furry fandom. There is nobody around to tell who and is furry or not. In addition to many leaders are not experienced and still young having inability or no desire to make moral judgment need to fitter those who are fans from the rift raft. Too many fans and the leaders are too accepting or live in denial. Finally, if you want to look at why moral relativism, teen homosexuality and bisexuality exists in furry fandom, look not at the fandom but what they are teaching in schools and in the entertainment industry a la MTV. It is not what the fandom cause but what they bring from home and school into the fandom.
