FurAffinity sold to 3D social network IMVU.
You heard, right? FurAffinity is the shaky but most active anchor for furry socializing and art. Naughty stuff on it can’t go without mention. That makes it a haven for freedoms that make the community what it is, for good or ill (depending on how prudish you are.) The sale to IMVU comes as a surprise. It’s a bold move for a company to partner with a community with stigma attached. How well will this work?
In January, IMVU reached out to me. They got an article about their appearance at Fur Con. (It was before today’s news was public, but apparently around when FurAffinity was sold.) I got back in touch with their rep, and have a confirmation that they’ll answer my questions. Everyone’s yapping about it – more soon in a followup article.
4 fursuits stolen from Jakedashep. Send hugs.
Absolutely sick right now. My trailer with my bike and 4 fursits was stolen while I was away. #cryingfordays
