In my opinion, that's why anthropomorphic animals matter to us. Because its just another form of fiction, another escape. Sometimes all of us can just feel the weight of the world crushing us while we're nothing but boring, dull human beings. It's that urge to be something that we're not, and while people are playing games to be a hero of Skyrim, a super soldier, or reading a book of great heroes fighting to save the world . . . perhaps they're no different.
To me the word 'furry' is just another word for 'nerd'. No, seriously. Just take a good look at comments section, do you notice anything? Everyone here writes literate. And I mean, this is freakin' youtube, so seeing an entire comments page of well written opinions is almost logically impossible.
Joking aside, I'm not a furry because I feel like I'm really a Fox in a humans body, but because I just like the general concept of anthropomorphic races. Having the senses of an animal is awesome.
uhhh. its not necessarily like that, i think the belief is that they think that they were once the animal they picked for their fursona, like in a past life, sort of like native americans used to do. in a way their spirit animal
@MrDikfitzwell69 that's only the case for a few :3- most are just normal people who love showing off their art and characters that happen to be in-human.
Okay... this documentary does not do furries justice. It makes furries look more weird than they are, i think they should have interviewed more furries than just the few in this video.
you people are taking the whole furry thing a little too far, don't you think? I mean, I've been in your position and all, but I knew a little something: it's lame to call yourself what you want to be represented as. I don't scream out "HEY GUIZ I'M A SQUIRREL" all over the tubes - I just look at the fandom as an alright collective of alright art and alright writings.
And even then, I find myself outgrowing so much of it.
is anyone else afraid of the cat suit when it turns toward you? As If thats probubly the last thing you see right before it goes ape shit starts to eat your inards.......or is it just me.....
did u all hear that shrink, they act like they are so damn normal when im sure they have one or 2 skeletons in there closets furries are normal, just not main stream and i wish there were more furries in my area
Wow, I'm dissapointed in National Geographic for being this freaking biased and uninformed concerning the furry fandom. And why are people so shocked about the supposedly "errotic art"? it exists in EVERY FREAKING FANDOM. Have none of these people heard of rule 34?
I'm really outgoing I love meeting new people and joking around. when I'm a fox I'm way more shy. I let others be the center of attention while I enjoy the ride. it's kind of like a break.
"Furries think that they're animals." ... DUH! Humans -are- animals, we've just become a lot more advanced than other animals! My fursona is a fox, but I regard my fursona as completely separate from my actual, real, human self and as just a character. However, these so-called 'experts' see the furry fandom as a 'belief' because they can't explain it, so they run into the lamest of excuses to try justify the fandom when they actually have no idea at all!
@1StoryImageFigure1 My mistake. I've just been dealing with a lot of trolls lately. XD Still, it's better to point out sarcasm so people don't get the opposite message =P
Every person in this world has a child inside theres no exeption!!!!
Why many people say that we do wied thing with yiff, yiff is only art nothing beyond that (well there some exeptions) but theres no dark side on it its just fun and hangout with friends and have a good time with other people that like Furries, Fursuits, art, etc.
dude, that was the best they could do!?!? Seriously, somebody needs to write to them and have them go to this years AnthroCon. The episode only reviewed Fursuiters! not everyone has suits!
If it weren't for this show, I wouldn't be Lunas, the dragon wolf hybrid that I am today. This show has made my life better. In 2 weeks I'm going to furry fiesta to finally meet some new furs :D
@RealStarHusky If I see you I'll be sure to say hi and meet ya and stuff :D I'll be wearing a black collar with pink paws and with a tag on it that's a paw print. :D I can't wait to meet you!
This is not a new trend. Has been in almost if not every culture, the native americans dressed out as animals cause they belived they either was born with a animal spirit or to get the power skill and wisdom of the animal.Im not fury haha and will never be so.But does that mean it not ok other ppl is?. foxsarecooltoo btw. who is judging?-Furries is really nicer than most ppl?
@CanisCaeleste The people who consider humans to be in the image of god, exclusively have souls, or are otherwise better then every other animal. Those are the people who don't get that.
@CanisCaeleste Absolutely true, the lost of fur on us, doesn't mean we stopped being animals, we're animals witha concious, a culture and stuff, but still have an animal part
I'm not even a fan of furries but the way those people acted...was so cute! It's weird yes but it's nice to see people come out of their shells to be who they are.
I have nothing against furries. I used to think it was strictly a fetish, but it primary just fun. Like larping or paintball. I don't get why people would be like really against it even if it were strictly sexual. If it was I would say "so what". There is pretty much a kink for everything and if you want to be ashamed of who you are than you will be miserable for the rest of your life. The furries have taught me to enjoy life how you see fit as long as you don't hurt anyone else.
Do people actually consider these furries as freaks? There are almost 7 billion people in the world now, we have people that are furries, people who eat shit for a living, people who self amputate......we see this crap all the time nowadays, nothing should surprise anyone
@LowTegra you will be surprised at how many times i have been called a freak for being a furry. I was at an anime con just over the weekend and some guy said he wanted to punch me for being a furry. I was not even dressed up. But i just giggled rolled my eyes and walked away. :/
@axelfox980 I didn't say we should try to change others, I said everyone is a shade of the world, and that child molesters and rapists are the freaks. If it doesn't hurt other people, then whats the problem with it? Let furries be furries
It's...it's just...it's a fandom, people. We don't need to be psychoanalyzed, we're not pedophiles or something like...really?
I mean, even lifestylers, it's really NOT that odd at all. Maybe I'm biased because I'm a furry but seriously...they sort of over exaggerated. And honestly when they were in the forest that looked like SO MUCH FUN, and they were SO happy. So maybe there should be an special/episode/whatever psychoanalyzing boring, lifeless, depressed, mundane people instead, lol.
asses out there who say "OMG FURRY FREAKS" ,or something like that, I bet you wouldn't say "OMG NASTY NIGGERS" (sorry my black friends I'm just making a point, I'm not racist) the point is if we don't mess with you, what's it hurting for us to do this, furries are really nicer than most people because we accept everyone for who they are and we don't judge you.
I went batshit fucking insane when I found out about this segment, I used to think nat geo gave me facts but they go straight to the extreme lifestylers, yes Nuka wears his fursuit every weekend, but most of us who have fursuits don't. I own a fursuit and I dont wear it every weekend and I'm a lifestyler I just wish they would educate themselves more, the only part I agree with is the "they dress up to express themselves in ways they normally can't when they're out of suit.
@Bonedog14 You must be new here. I was commenting on the amount of furries whining about how they weren't portrayed correctly in this documentary. Got that?
Myself being a female furry and fursuiter I find this entertaining to watch, and a little bit misinformed. The reason why most furries that have fursuits have them is to make their fursona (furry persona) "come to life" not to become an animal. Also, we know we are human, but some of us do have slight animalistic traits. Most people don't understand that EVERYTHING has a darkside, for us furries it's "yiff", so stop judging us!!
is it just me or does every documentery on furries i see on tv either only show the "bad" stuff or the wrong impressions like yiff (which is perfectly okay with me) or they give the wrong facts. furries are just ppl who want to have fun their own way, i dont see how this is any way taboo. its shows like these why some furries cant come out and be themselves.
@Bonedog14 EXACTLY! "furries usually hide themselves from others" (or somthing like that from this vid) well this might be one of the reasons those documenteretards
@Bonedog14 *another realization* the first annotion in this vid tells furries to sub... YEAAAAAAAAAAAH *sarcasn* were toootally gonaa sub after you call us Taboo
HOLY SHIT google needs to work on that closed captioning turn it on and use transcribe audio beta and it gets only 1/4 of the words right its hilarious. Reply with the funniest thing yours said.
@XeroOwnz way to miss the point broski. i was talking about how my strange addiction sowed furries bowling, and there's also the notorious furries vs kingons bowling tournament. nice job being sj as fuck you vigilante
@XSEAN115 It is wierd. Lots of things are wierd. Hugs are wierd, they make no sense. Giving someone the middle finger is wierd and illogical. Hate is also illogical. But just because it's wierd doesn't make it wrong or bad in any way, just different. :)
If they don't know what they are talking about, it would have been better for them to not even make this episode. Because in the end, I got out of this show that furries are just a bunch of social outcasts, which is definitely a MISTAKEN PERCEPTION!
@BankaiIchigo12345 in the view of the average person they are outcast because they know little or nothing about furries and it is kind of strange. But yes they could have done this episode a little bit differently to make it sound like is an alright thing to do. They defiantly could have at least touched on that not all furries are fursuiters, well as to some say, like me. But you do have to admit they did describe the fandom so-so. They also shouldn't have ended it with the Yiffing references
Which is exactly why Natgeo should NOT talk about them as, or treat them as, outcasts! It doesn't help them feel any more comfortable about who they are. For trying to say something good about them, Natgeo did the VERY OPPOSITE!
@BankaiIchigo12345 keep in mind there are always going to be the mainstream social group that will know nothing of this or at least seen anything like a video about furries or have seen one in real life. Until furries become extreamly well known than they are going to be considered "weird". You have to look at the outside in, in the eyes of Joe smo. P.S. you were cool about this unlike some assholes are and i thank you for that.
@BankaiIchigo12345 just remembered that they have to try and mesh common belief with the truth so that they can have high ratings its a business thing people went from compassionate human beings to stingy money grabbing bastards.(they do want to bring education but with large amounts of money) look at Delta they were focused on the passenger but now they rob you of your money and dont care about you. Its like tyra banks they werent going to just say they do it for fun it would be bad for ratings
I didn't hear about yiffing, but at the end I did see some freaking awesome furry anime-style art. And as an anime fan myself, I was like WOW AWESOME. I especially liked the fact the guy did a fan art of the Digimon character Renamon! How cool is that!
Yeah most of that imagery show I didn't even consider porn, it was just art.
And that also is for good reason. They couldn't have shown actual porn images on NatGeo, even if they wanted to. It's a regular cable channel. Only "premium" cable channels can have porn, as the FCC rules about porn extend to regular cable channels (not just over-the-air TV as many people mistakenly believe). Only "premium" cable channels are actually beyond the jurisdiction of the FCC.
@BankaiIchigo12345 I agree with this; that is a mistaken impression. But it (the segment) is Still definately better then alot of other media shock-docs that I've seen about furries, so by comparison, it's a step in the right direction. Have enough steps in the right direction, and you end up in a good place :)
I would have thought that a professional company NatGeo who's job it is to be a "fact conveyor" (convey factual info for the sake of conveying factual info) would have done a better job than this, as the whole purpose of their channel IS to educate and that means NOT TWISTING FACTS, and JUST REPORT THE FACTS. I always thought that what I saw on the educational channels were "pure info", no opinions, no "spin". But this show has shown that NatGeo can NOT be trusted.
I don't like what Natgeo did because while they did try to somewhat make furries more acceptable, they also trumpetted factually incorrect statements about them. Statements which are based on false steriotypes that are in fact usually used by furry haters! This can do more harm furry community than any of the positive statements they made would do good for furries.
Yes some of them sometimes dress up in animal costume, but they don't all the time, and some may never or rarely dress up in animal costume. Wanting sex with an animal is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! That's bestiality. Also wanting sex with a person in animal costume is not normal furry tendency (more like furry extremest or something). I have nothing against furries, even though I'm not a furry myself.
The definition of furry is NOT a person who wants to do a horse while dressed in a cat costume! Nor is it always even someone who dresses up as an animal. Nor is it someone who wants to do someone who's dressed as an animal. Nor is it someone who thinks that they are part animal or wishes that they were born as animal.
A furry is someone who has a special liking of animals and often makes artwork depicting animals (sometimes anthropomorphic and/or cartoony, sometimes realistic style).
@BankaiIchigo12345 That is true. However, being a furry and those other things that you mentioned (wanting to be an animal, or dressing like one, etc) are Not mutually exclusive. A furry can also have some or all of the other things that you mentioned, even a sexual attraction to animals. In that regard, it is a very subjective thing. But it is also wrong to assume that ALL furries do/believe those things. Each furry is different, and the term "Furry" is very much an umbrella.
Glad they didn't cover anime fandom or they probably would have said that anime fans belived that they were anime characters trapped in a normal human body. Natgeo is DUMB!
-Second part of my post-
In my opinion, that's why anthropomorphic animals matter to us. Because its just another form of fiction, another escape. Sometimes all of us can just feel the weight of the world crushing us while we're nothing but boring, dull human beings. It's that urge to be something that we're not, and while people are playing games to be a hero of Skyrim, a super soldier, or reading a book of great heroes fighting to save the world . . . perhaps they're no different.

Not perfect, but one of the better views of furries.
As they said, "We're just a fandom"

However it is presented, it will never be good / fair / balanced enough for some. And I say that as a fursuiter myself.

asses out there who say "OMG FURRY FREAKS" ,or something like that, I bet you wouldn't say "OMG NASTY NIGGERS" (sorry my black friends I'm just making a point, I'm not racist) the point is if we don't mess with you, what's it hurting for us to do this, furries are really nicer than most people because we accept everyone for who they are and we don't judge you.

I went batshit fucking insane when I found out about this segment, I used to think nat geo gave me facts but they go straight to the extreme lifestylers, yes Nuka wears his fursuit every weekend, but most of us who have fursuits don't. I own a fursuit and I dont wear it every weekend and I'm a lifestyler I just wish they would educate themselves more, the only part I agree with is the "they dress up to express themselves in ways they normally can't when they're out of suit.
And for all you asse

Myself being a female furry and fursuiter I find this entertaining to watch, and a little bit misinformed. The reason why most furries that have fursuits have them is to make their fursona (furry persona) "come to life" not to become an animal. Also, we know we are human, but some of us do have slight animalistic traits. Most people don't understand that EVERYTHING has a darkside, for us furries it's "yiff", so stop judging us!!
Furry is not a fetish/hobby..It is a lifestyle!!
Bonedog14 1 month ago
is it just me or does every documentery on furries i see on tv either only show the "bad" stuff or the wrong impressions like yiff (which is perfectly okay with me) or they give the wrong facts. furries are just ppl who want to have fun their own way, i dont see how this is any way taboo. its shows like these why some furries cant come out and be themselves.

If they don't know what they are talking about, it would have been better for them to not even make this episode. Because in the end, I got out of this show that furries are just a bunch of social outcasts, which is definitely a MISTAKEN PERCEPTION!
BankaiIchigo12345 1 month ago
@BankaiIchigo12345 in the view of the average person they are outcast because they know little or nothing about furries and it is kind of strange. But yes they could have done this episode a little bit differently to make it sound like is an alright thing to do. They defiantly could have at least touched on that not all furries are fursuiters, well as to some say, like me. But you do have to admit they did describe the fandom so-so. They also shouldn't have ended it with the Yiffing references
kartracer58 1 month ago
@kartracer58
Which is exactly why Natgeo should NOT talk about them as, or treat them as, outcasts! It doesn't help them feel any more comfortable about who they are. For trying to say something good about them, Natgeo did the VERY OPPOSITE!
BankaiIchigo12345 1 month ago 2
@BankaiIchigo12345 keep in mind there are always going to be the mainstream social group that will know nothing of this or at least seen anything like a video about furries or have seen one in real life. Until furries become extreamly well known than they are going to be considered "weird". You have to look at the outside in, in the eyes of Joe smo. P.S. you were cool about this unlike some assholes are and i thank you for that.
kartracer58 1 month ago
@BankaiIchigo12345 just remembered that they have to try and mesh common belief with the truth so that they can have high ratings its a business thing people went from compassionate human beings to stingy money grabbing bastards.(they do want to bring education but with large amounts of money) look at Delta they were focused on the passenger but now they rob you of your money and dont care about you. Its like tyra banks they werent going to just say they do it for fun it would be bad for ratings

I didn't hear about yiffing, but at the end I did see some freaking awesome furry anime-style art. And as an anime fan myself, I was like WOW AWESOME. I especially liked the fact the guy did a fan art of the Digimon character Renamon! How cool is that!

@BankaiIchigo12345 well you can connect it to yiffing but they did not directly talk about it and that was amazing art.
kartracer58 1 month ago
@kartracer58
Yeah most of that imagery show I didn't even consider porn, it was just art.
And that also is for good reason. They couldn't have shown actual porn images on NatGeo, even if they wanted to. It's a regular cable channel. Only "premium" cable channels can have porn, as the FCC rules about porn extend to regular cable channels (not just over-the-air TV as many people mistakenly believe). Only "premium" cable channels are actually beyond the jurisdiction of the FCC.

@BankaiIchigo12345 I agree with this; that is a mistaken impression.

Have enough steps in the right direction, and you end up in a good place :)

@noxluna1
I would have thought that a professional company NatGeo who's job it is to be a "fact conveyor" (convey factual info for the sake of conveying factual info) would have done a better job than this, as the whole purpose of their channel IS to educate and that means NOT TWISTING FACTS, and JUST REPORT THE FACTS. I always thought that what I saw on the educational channels were "pure info", no opinions, no "spin". But this show has shown that NatGeo can NOT be trusted.
BankaiIchigo12345 1 month ago
@BankaiIchigo12345 It was my understanding that they did report facts, they didn't lie. They just didn't report ALL of the facts.
BTW no documentary can be trusted to have all of the exact facts unless it is done BY furries themselves.
noxluna1 4 weeks ago
I don't like what Natgeo did because while they did try to somewhat make furries more acceptable, they also trumpetted factually incorrect statements about them. Statements which are based on false steriotypes that are in fact usually used by furry haters! This can do more harm furry community than any of the positive statements they made would do good for furries.
BankaiIchigo12345 1 month ago
Yes some of them sometimes dress up in animal costume, but they don't all the time, and some may never or rarely dress up in animal costume. Wanting sex with an animal is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! That's bestiality. Also wanting sex with a person in animal costume is not normal furry tendency (more like furry extremest or something). I have nothing against furries, even though I'm not a furry myself.
BankaiIchigo12345 1 month ago
The definition of furry is NOT a person who wants to do a horse while dressed in a cat costume! Nor is it always even someone who dresses up as an animal. Nor is it someone who wants to do someone who's dressed as an animal. Nor is it someone who thinks that they are part animal or wishes that they were born as animal.
A furry is someone who has a special liking of animals and often makes artwork depicting animals (sometimes anthropomorphic and/or cartoony, sometimes realistic style).
BankaiIchigo12345 1 month ago
@BankaiIchigo12345 That is true. However, being a furry and those other things that you mentioned (wanting to be an animal, or dressing like one, etc) are Not mutually exclusive. A furry can also have some or all of the other things that you mentioned, even a sexual attraction to animals. In that regard, it is a very subjective thing. But it is also wrong to assume that ALL furries do/believe those things. Each furry is different, and the term "Furry" is very much an umbrella.

Glad they didn't cover anime fandom or they probably would have said that anime fans belived that they were anime characters trapped in a normal human body. Natgeo is DUMB!
