NatGeo Channel Taboo Furries (low quality)

[ZombiePowerDrink]

I like the art but dressing up as one seems a bit much. Apparently I'm on the Dark side according to the narrator LOL.

[catcubus]

There's a huuuuuge difference between furries who dress up as their fursona's and furries who dress up because they actually believe they're a furry trapped in a human's body. D:< I may want to have a costume made of one of my characters but I in no way feel I AM them. At least these guys made a point to mention furries aren't sexual deviants like past furries that appeared on TV.

[Jophie12]

Why do furs keep doing this? Why go on TV like this? You know it will only be bad in the end for us all...it will only make us look bad.

[BankaiIchigo12345]

This is 2012! In 2012 Youtube supports high quality video! Rip and upload it at 480p or 720p, not 240p! This video is FAIL UPLOAD!

[lucaria44]

pfft, Uncle Kage was talking about this show at AC '10 i think it was. Honestly, they made it seem so bad to be furry,it's like saying the guy that dresses up as Chuck E. Cheese or Bugs Bunny is the same as a theif. They really don't give furries a fair say in this because really haveing a fursuit and being a blue cat isn't secret and doesn't make him believe he'sacat. It's just for fun.

[DontEatButterflies]

@lucaria44 No at AC '10 Nat. Geo. team met Courtney because he was doing census polls on him. I was dating alkane at the time this film was made and all these furs on here are my friends so I know what I'm talking about lol

[glumpot]

Well, it could've been much worse... At least the people on here try to give their honest opinions on furries.

[TouKxiePie]

Bwahahah, should've watched the rest of the video before my comment xD Should've known they try to make it about sex eventually.

Oh, and nice Caramelldansen at the end too, that was win xDDD

[TouKxiePie]

6:14 Nice furry art, Nat Geo XD

[AuroraFolf]

I am so proud of Nat. Geo! They didn't make us seem like sexual freaks! <3

[hicarbut]

lol looks like my sona

[ZOFFMANDUDE]

Media is stupid but I guess my friend watched this and she said she hates furries so now idk what to do so she believes the stereotypes :(

[AuroraFolf]

@ZOFFMANDUDE Well that's a bummer. I'd say believe in the truth, not the stereotypes

[Mephistin]

It's one way to become the opposite of a general community robot. It's a great way to let yourself live. Calling the furry fandom a taboo is a total and idiotic stereotype... You'd might as well call it blaspheme for some stupid religious nuts out there if your going to call it a taboo.

[TravenV]

This is so cool, it's beautiful. So much self expression, true self expression I think it's wonderful ^^

[yin7yang7wolf7]

:3 this reminds me of drop dead fred XD idk why..

[axelfox980]

This. there is nothing wrong with being a furry,i wish people would learn to live and let live.

[axelfox980]

That woman in it seemed uptight,like wound up so tight she can't enjoy life to it's fullest. I'm a furry myself and it's hard in hawaii,the furry community here seems hidden or something.

[TheDarkLegacy]

Non-furry here. I find nothing wrong with this, and in my opinion, I think Nat.Geo probably didn't give you guys a fair shake and/or objective view; but I guess it wouldn't be interesting to watch if they did. Do what you love, be free, live and let live.

[BlackCerberus]

Watched it fully, and while you tried to push the positive message in the end, I'd say that ultimately, you failed.

[BlackCerberus]

I am not even 5 minutes in and it just gets worse and worse.

[BlackCerberus]

I am not 3 minutes in and I hate it already.

[Dragzilla66XL]

Tailsrulz art turns me on even though it's like soft yiff.

[Roflo13east]

What's that Ninja got to do with this? :)

[DontEatButterflies]

I dated alkane when this was being made last year

[lironess]

One more video uses one of the 20% of furries who wear suits to exemplify all of us..we are the 80% who do not....

[willcamick]

Wow this is all bullshit! as a furry trust me when i say non of this is true.. i hate programs like this that try and make us seem more complicated then we really are. *rolls eyes*

[offspring4eva]

a very fair and legitimate representation of Furry Fandom, those who want to believe it's all about perversion I think I hear the nearest mental asylum calling your names so answer the call and cure your delusions

[XODingo]

All doco's and video studies on furries are always one sided, false and unfair. It shows a real serious look at the weirdo's and lifestylers only, and never shows (even possibly deciding not to) the other side to it. Only a small amount of them wear collars, make creepy noises, are socially awkward and believe they have an inner animal. tbh its just getting a bit dumb that its only studying that side of it...

[SuperSONYdude]

I couldn't stop laughing, of you furfags.... I don't find furries taboo, maybe the fursuiters, I'm not one of em. Thats cool with them, I don't mind, shit... oh well... anything for views ehh, natgeo. and the guy below me is right, suck his dick, his furfuta dick.

[ccggenius]

1. It's a guy named Courtnay, he never stood a chance. 2. I could have sworn that this was the definition of fur suiters, a subgroup of furries, not the group as a whole. 3. That girl's inner animal is Bebop from TMNT? I thought Bebop was a dude... 4. I'm surprised the episode didn't touch on cosplay, given that fur suiting fits under that umbrella too. 5. Needs more cowbell.

[DontEatButterflies]

@ccggenius It's not her fursona- she was just making a cosplay. Her fursona is talarus- the gazelle

[Dragzilla66XL]

@ccggenius 6. They didn't talk about so much yiff. :P

[AmicoWusky]

Whoever finds me in this video first wins a cookie! ^.~

[DontEatButterflies]

@AmicoWusky i saw you!! ^^

[Dragzilla66XL]

@AmicoWusky Your the blue cat

[AmicoWusky]

@Dragzilla66XL

Well, more of a dog but close enough ^.~

*Hands you a yummy cookie* =^.^=

[Dragzilla66XL]

@AmicoWusky I know I regret my answer because I saw you at the last minute in this video! xD *Takes the cookie and noms on it wiyj joy while wrapping an arm around your waist* Yums.. Now I want a fur scaly suit Trololol.

[TheTailsthefox]

Furries rule! Haters are just jealous of our creativity and passion <3

[TraskCobalt]

@TheTailsthefox I agree. x3

[ninjamoon9]

Why Part Plant -_-

[CloudchaserShaconag]

@ninjamoon9 My guess would be trying to be unique. Characters who are part plant are rare.

[ninjamoon9]

@CloudchaserShaconag yeah i know but they should have used a regular wolf as an example now ever human that watches it will think we are blue cats and freaky plant dragon lizard things

[DontEatButterflies]

@ninjamoon9 he wanted to be unique

[yin7yang7wolf7]

@ninjamoon9 o3o'' maybe he wanted to beh in touch with nature lol.

[muttmuttinthebuttbut]

@ninjamoon9 My girlfriend has a plant character, its cool.

[hicarbut]

@ninjamoon9 aktualy ya haha he is the 1st iv sean

[ZiddersRooFurry]

lol don't feed the parasprites, folks. Great vid!

[xEchoTheWolfx]

Well that is rare, they didn't actually find the worlds creepiest people to do this. And also, it didn't seem to be that biased one way or another. Overall, this is probably one of the fair T.V reports that the fandom has seen.

[usmctate]

Ahh Mark Thompson led me here :) Furrys of the wurld unite !!!

[62cky4powerthirst]

Damn. I'm only into the artwork, but there is no way in hell I will ever get into a fursuit

[kcorb14]

i think that nat geo gave an appropriate description but not of furries. I am a furry and nat geo like most people have confused "furries" with a mixture of "plushies". Plushies being the animal-listic furries shown in this video. Furries have an entirely different description in general and the fact that National Geographic was able to FUCK up so badlly is apalling to me. me and several other people (who are not furries) were even able to spot the mistake less than mid way through the video.

[ZiddersRooFurry]

You can't expect a show that is obviously out to sensationalize to bother with 'the facts'. That being said, I think things could have gone a lot worse. You have to laugh at stuff like this. 99% of the people in this world don't know what a furry is or could give a shit...and that's fine. There's really no reason to be 'appalled'

[BrazenBull001]

Fox/dragon/plant? 0_o Also, I saw Bebop from TMNT!

[LegoBoom2]

This video is my future. lol... And anyone who thinks furries have anything to do with a sexual manner, their not. Some are, but the main part of being a furry is, well what this show explained xD.

[Draconium666]

also, please check out nuka's page on FA for his journal response to this episode! add the fa link before this /journal/3062410/

[Draconium666]

lol nuka is a kitty not a kitty, der.

@dragon9822 Isn't ontario great for having two separate filmy things made of the fandom? :)

in general, like kage said, if you don't mention the 18A aspect of the fandom, most people never find out, or ask. just explain "we like costumes and cartoon animals." :)

:)

[jeremycainebowen]

a fox dragon plant XD

and they were caramelldansening at the end.

and also, whenever someone tries to describe furries, they either say they DONT like yiff, or DO. ive never seen one that said "some of us furries like it in a sexual manner, but some of us dont." know what i mean?

[dragon9822]

This is not correct. If you wanna good explanation of furries, check out Fanboy Confessional.

[AngryVGFur]

"an underground group harbors-" ...done.

[zaakara69]

Tailsrulz ftw, congrats on the air time!, bettaman94, you can join us in hell ya judgmental prick ;3

[CloudchaserShaconag]

@zaakara69 bettaman94 probably made his comment hoping that he'd provoke someone into making an angry response. That's what trolls do.

[TwinDragons310]

A past boyfriend helped me realize & become in touch with my inner animal. I am a wolf & I love it. I have drawn Anthros since middle school , but thought I was the only one who did them for a long time. I am as 'normal' as any other human. If you don't like it, I don't care. That is your opinion & choice to be a hater.

Aaron & Alkain are so cute! X3

[tonywhiteowl]

He said "furrys like to have fun and why can I not still like the things I did in youth" being told you have to grow up and leave fun behind. Why can not one be a big kid. Oh forgot its Taboo... one thing they need to mention in these videos... the fandom is world wide... people from all religions and regions of the world... can come together in one spot and not want to harm the other person besides a Big Hug... no... no... no.. no... we must hate one another yes?? keep us separated...

[bettaman94]

yiff in hell furfags

[TwinDragons310]

@bettaman94 If you hate Furs, why use Furry vocabulary? Do you even know what the word 'Yiff' means?

[bettaman94]

@TwinDragons310 yeah i know what it means its when two fuckin wierdos dress up in faggy ass fuzz suits and buttfuck eachother. i know your terminolagy because u fags are everywhere its like a meme but for sick creeps who want to molest child animals so go buy some peanut butter and go back to your room with your dog queer

[kcorb14]

@bettaman94 wtf is wrong with you? your boyfriends dick stuck in your ass? if you dont like the subject go the fuck away and if you know so damn much about it get it right, furries dont fuck animals, plushies do you dumb fuck. now go suck you boyfriends cock and stop ruining it for everyone else.

[kcorb14]

@bettaman94 i hope you know this doesnt actually offend anyone its actually a joke now.

[bettaman94]

@kcorb14 its a joke that you molest puppies? even if i was gay at least i would be having sex with soomeone in the same species u wierd ass chomo go get in ur fuckin mascot costume and fuck other nutjob fags dressed in stupid ass mascot costumes. everyone of u guys also looks fucking gross that chick who first responded looked like she had down syndrome and im sure u probably look like an obese chode jacksoff to baby muppets

[kcorb14]

@bettaman94 you know i cant help but notice that you have made several mistakes in you last insulting comment. must Furries dont even own a fursuit, i do regreatably have to admit that most furries are infact gay but i am in the 12% that are not. your agression towards the sbuject also leads me to believe that you have some sort of "fear" or dislike of furries and i would like to know why this is, stemming from the fact that most of this video is not about furries but about plushies.

[bettaman94]

@kcorb14 i have no fear of furries or plushies they just piss me off and sicken me, i have no problem with u wanting to fuck a mascot but lying about it and the fact that ur all fuckin gross fat old losers who most likely larp is just disguisting i hate u fuckin geeks and bitch u want a fursuit im sure if u could afford it you would totally own one with a 1/2 inch wide glory hole in front and an 8 inch glory hole in the back

[kcorb14]

@bettaman94 dude you have a horrible misconception about this, i dont "larp" or anything like that and if i wanted to i could easily get a fursuit. the fact that you think we are; gross, fat, losers, who like to "larp". only shows your ignorance. and if you think we want to fuck a mascot then your still just as wrong as before, just accept the fact that you cant win or change anything about us (furries). were still gonna be here when you wake up in the morning so just get over it.

[bettaman94]

@kcorb14 i uhhhh no i dont... ur full of shit u are the exception not the rule most of u are fuckstick wierdos who got picked on and probably molested at chuk .E cheese i hope the worst things happen to you and your family and all the furries and there family that accept the ... eww if u can call it a lifestyle

[bettaman94]

@kcorb14 i hope u are beaten and robbed in an alleyway brutally raped and have your throat slit and as u lie there in the piss feces and garbage water u stop and think of bettaman in your last desperate moments gasping for air holla holla get dolla$

[kcorb14]

@bettaman94 man i would hate for that to happen. but if it makes you feel any better it wont. im just glad im not a sore loser like you who cant seem to understand basic principles of society and other peoples hobbies. i hope you live a long and prosperous life and that me and you never meet in the real world.

[bettaman94]

@kcorb14 watch the vid i posted on your account.... nuff said holler holler get dollar

[kcorb14]

@bettaman94 there is nothing there

[WHATSaDavid]

I'm a Canadian furry! :3 Also I was brought here by my fav artist TailsRulz!

[Chrisstiger]

@WHATSaDavid same here

[gallane003]

i like anthro art and i do draw it, but going out dressed up as a furry is really cool. i'd do it, but i don't think i can handle the fact that i'm the center of attention. really nervewrecking.

[WWOLFwts]

Wow, they make being a furry sound like a disease. Worse, they make it sound like its a pandemic! I just think its cute... Its a living teddy-bear! Just what I've always wanted!

[skinnyshit8888]

FREAKING SWEET

[SephMcLoud]

wow, nice and fair to the furry fandom, also congrats tailsrulz for getting your art on air
