INTERVIEWS FOR FANS AND FURRIES:

Makers and Doers make a subculture thrive. Whether they build it or feed it with stuff we like, they have valuable stories to tell.

• Movie directors, animators, artists, event builders, superfans, and more. Jello Biafra, Pixar’s Michel Gagne, Uncle Kage and more.

A THRIVING SUBCULTURE – PAST AND FUTURE, POLE TO POLE.

There’s a fur con somewhere in the world every weekend of the year. There’s furry houses with multi-generations of fans. Here’s roots, coming opportunities, spotlights on what makes a good community, and how far their influence goes.

“CELEBRIFURRIES” AND STREET CRED:

Furries have more influence than they even realize. Advertisers covet the street cred of subcultures. Disney winked at us with Zootopia. Are there celebrities who are secret furries? How do other subcultures overlap? What are the peaks of mainstream recognition for the fandom?

• Margaret Cho barks about furries, pride, and costuming on The Masked Singer

FURSUITING, THE MOST FURRY ACTIVITY.

It’s the the most original fandom creation, with it’s own coined name.  Nobody does it like furries and nothing else represents them so directly. Fursuiting is a booming cottage industry and makers are raising the craft until they’re envied by commercial mascot designers. Only 20% own this costly wearable art with scene-stealing looks, but a picture is worth a thousand words.  It’s hard to deny their huggable appeal (representing the touch-based name of this subculture.)

• Fursuit photography from the urban jungle: Goku’s Furban Exploration (Part 1)/(2)/(3)/(4)
• Australia’s Lucky Dog Fursuits slurps up a job for Schmackos pet treats.

THE FURRY ECONOMY: 

Cons are expanding at a healthy rate. Furry creators work fan-to-fan with self-sufficiency that even supports full time careers. Their main site Furaffinity is an independent project acquired by a venture-capital funded company.  It’s rising beyond a full-fledged subculture to possible commercialization. How will it develop?

“PALEO FURRIES” – ANTHROPOMORPHISM IN HISTORY:

Fandom has hidden connections to a rich history of art and performance. A “museum of furry” could exhibit work that look like it’s from a parallel universe. Call them Paleo Furries. A “Panto-animals and Paleofurs” con panel could uncover hidden depth for what we love.

• If there was a Museum of Furry, theatrical “Panto-Animals” would be a major exhibit. – Discovering an amazing lost tradition.
• Theatrical Panto-animals, Part 2: Feedback, history and sources roundup. – Searching for more.
• Theatrical Panto-animals, Part 3: History book reviews by Fred Patten. – Very little was ever published about this.

THE FURRY ART WORLD

It’s one of the most creative fandoms because all the content is self-generated. Sometimes it gets recognition in galleries and more.

• How furry animator Jib Kodi found his art: “When I saw that tail move, I was instantly hooked.”
• Fur Con teams up with Artsplosion in San Jose, CA.
• Don’t miss the Anthropomorphic Enchantment show in San Francisco.
• Tip Your Makers! Why to pay more for art to improve commissioning and spread the love.

• Five pro photographers advancing the art of furry documentary.  – They’re making books and gallery shows.
• “Further Confessions” photo project puts fursuiting in an art gallery, and does FUN right. It’s challenging to catch on camera.

THE FURRY MOVIE SCENE.

Film and video can be more challenging than other media where furries thrive. Other subcultures have developed enough to support independent film making. There have been a few attempts at furry features and some outside ones that come close. There are many fursuiting shorts (especially music videos) and animation student work. The holy grail might be a furry-made animated feature.

• Furry movie lovers – what’s this (F3) thing coming to Utah?

• I love Finsterworld. This tragicomic movie with a Fursuiter is a treat for smart watchers. – See also Finsterworld tag.

FURRY MUSIC AND DANCE PARTIES – IT’S A MOVEMENT:

Since around 2010, furry dance parties are getting established as urban night life.  They build on the growth of cons, but take their own direction in partnership with established venues.  Howl Toronto says – Con dances happen once a year, and “that’s just not enough to fill the need!” There’s also a slice of the fandom that makes original music and is starting netlabels, composing for video and games, and performing at cons.

• What is furry music? Q&A with musicians.
• The Furclub Survey: introducing the world’s independent Furry dance parties. – A list you won’t find anywhere else.

BAD MEDIA, GOOD MEDIA.

Media exploitation makes sensitivity about being in the spotlight, but it’s a chicken-or-egg relationship. Rising recognition and appreciation brings power to negotiate and be better represented.

• CNN’s This is Life with Lisa Ling: Furry Nation – review by Joe Strike
• Remembering Kim Wall, a journalist who found the best side of furries.

WHEN FURRY MEETS FURRY – “THE TOPIC THEY LOVE TO HATE”.

It’s not an urban legend – some furries get wild. But sex isn’t a definer.  It can be a family friendly hobby too.  Media hypes sex, but romantic themes are part of being human, and furries are just regular people with extra rich imaginations.  Being unusually open and expressive is required for an interest spectrum beyond the default.  It can cause controversy. It also makes first-time visitors call them the most friendly people you could ever party with. This blog is anti-prude and not shy about sex-positivity.

San Francisco Pride is one of the biggest Pride events in the world, with organizing by Patch since 2012.

• 2018 – Going strong with several dance parties and a furry float that won an award from SF Pride.
• 2017 – San Francisco Pride had a furry float after taking the previous year off, and this time it was a Burning Man art car.

LIMITS AND LIBERTIES IN SOCIETY

Acceptance is a big feature of furry subculture. It draws interests together, but nothing represents every member, because membership is self-defined.  Some interests get conservative disapproval. It makes tension between freedom and collective interest. It can involve prejudices, laws, or times for a social group to stand up for itself.

WHAT’S WRONG INSIDE FANDOM?

Furries have been punching-bags with sensational media exploiting them as freaks.  It can come from bias to only look for the worst in people. It can show stigma, shaming, scapegoating, or a streak of homophobia. But negativity doesn’t build anything, and that’s why it’s losing power with time. If you hear of “inherent” problems, look at the positive, expressive nature of the group.

CRIME AND PUNISHMENT:
