Furries to be on "My Strange Addiction" (January 19th at 9PM EST, only on TLC!)

[bridgeportcat]

Honestly, amongst the twitter murry purries I'm watching only one said anything, and all they said was DAMN THAT WAS AN UGLY FURSUIT. Literally, that was all they wrote about it.

Then again, I really don't know anyone who gives a damn about this shit so there you go!

It's a total bust.

The thing with shows like this are that they are intended solely to enhance the shareholder value of the production company, not to educate or be anything resembling accurate. And if it somehow manages to entertain some lowest common denominator while enhancing shareholder value, then all the better for said shareholders.

In other words, the people who watched this are idiots who just pumped ad revenue directly into some boardroom. Can we talk about something else, please?

Can we talk about something else, please?

The world has already forgotten, tbh. So, yeah sure.

People are now mad at her for tracing. Dragoneer displays his priorities:



He will ban you for tracing. But not for: rape, child molestation, murder, etc...

Anyways the show was boring and the couch eater was more interesting than her. I don't see what the big deal is even with the supposed tracing.

[Jim Demintia]

Right, because last time he didn't bother with the cover story. He's learned his lesson folks!

I'm going to go out on a limb here and strongly imply that:
1 - Most furries are unlikely to ever see $1500 at one time in their lives

I am way late to  the thread, but I am going to throw my two cents in anyway.
First off I am a furry. I have been involved with furry fandom for almost 20 years.   
Most furries do not have fursuits, most do not attend conventions, most do not wish they were like animals. Most simply like the style of art, the look of the characters, the concept of anthropomorphic characters like Bugs Bunny, books like Watership down, and Narnia.  Most furries would also not be particularly worried about this my strange addiction episode either, no more so then then a trekkie would be worried about when Saturday night live picks on star trek fans.
 If I were to compare furries to any other fan based group I would say it is most like a cross between comic book collectors and trekies.  Just like those groups you have all types of folks, from the extreme to the casual.  Just like those groups you have the young and poor, like this young lady, and you have folks that have high middle class incomes , like myself, and those that have more money then they know what to do with.  I can tell you that quite a few fall into the middle there, for a logical reason.  Just like comic collecting, or any other type of thing that involves collecting or conventions, there is a decent amount of cost involved.
In short, the overwhelming majority furry fandom is just a simple fan based thing for folks  like for anthropomorphic characters, nothing more.

Wow what a brilliant new insight. Everything has changed.

[ProvincialTwit]

My god you have opened my eyes!  From this day forth, I shall be forever indebted to you and the furries of which you speak!

That's it, guys, we've had our fun, time to wrap it up and shut down Viv.  We were wrong the whole time.




Oh wait no get the fuck out you useless piece of human garbage.

[Freehaven]

Welp, it was fun while it lasted.

That was well worth necromancing a month-old thread for.

No, really, it was.
