American Furry, Pt. 2 of 2 (Boing Boing tv)

In this episode of Boing Boing tv (tv.boingboing.net):

More of our exclusive preview of American Furry, a documentary film in progress. Subtitled "Life, Liberty, and the Fursuit of Happiness," this feature project from Brooklyn-based filmmaker Marianne Shaneen involves more than two years' worth of footage, and explores many aspects of the furry fandom.
UPDATE: Shaneen tells BoingBoing, "I've also got new video that I've edited up on my website."

Part one of BBtv's sneak peek at Furry is here: Link.

Next, a visit to South Park Studios. From the command center of crew member Keef Barkus comes this time-lapse video of the last 24 hours of show preparation leading up to the airing of a South Park episode. Matt Stone, Trey Parker, and the rest of the South Park team sure do move fast.

(Music in this episode: Q Burns Abstract Message, Formidable Force, T Bias, and Kokomo Arnold.)

I guess I'd be considered one of the "weird" furries, then, but I don't think I'm quite as..."eccentric", if you will. Openly, anyway. I've always felt a sort of kinship with wolves and big cats, but my main fursona is a wolf. I've never been to a con yet, or even worn a fursuit, but I can't wait until the day I can. If you aren't into it, you aren't into it. Nobody's saying you have to be or agree with it, so what's the point in hating? =/

i make furry animations but i'm not a furry. that doesn't mean i don't think people have a right to express themselves despite what others thing. if they want to wear animal suits, then fuck u, they can wear them. if i want to animate talking cats, i will. blame certain action on the individual, not the community.

Why hate on the furries? I don't think it's for me, but if it is for others, then why hate? How does somebody drawing a cartoon character or walking around in a costume hurt anybody? It doesn't. So why the anger? If this is fun for them, what is it to any of the rest of us?

@LoboalphaMASTER same here, I don't have a fursuit yet either, but after watching a ton of videos of fursuiters like wayco, skittles, flux, and so on, it just seems like it would be a very fun thing to be a part of. I just wanna put on a fursuit, go to a convention, and have a blast while putting smiles on people's faces.

Can we purchase the masks lionel makes? Cause i want one so bad

[LoboalphaMASTER]

Im a furry, i want a fursuit. But i don't feel any animal conection or anything, i also woulnd't use the fursuit to escape from "real" life or for any yiff purpouse. I want one because i think its cool and it seems to be fun. I would only buy 1 due to economic reasons.

[ravemaster555]

Hmmm... I like this

[IEzioI]

@TheCrazywolfgirl I agree with this statement bigtime

[TheCrazywolfgirl]

Also I say, give me a definition of normal. Because for a furry, being a furry, is normal. Not wearing my fursuit, not meeting with my friends, not drawing furry art, would not be normal for me.

[TheCrazywolfgirl]

Wow, why havent more suits got the extra visionary and hearing stuff? That being said not all of us feel that kinda need to "be the animal" - my suit is a blue and red wolf. Love wolves but there's no need for me to hear like a wolf in my suit.

I;m so glad that threre the Gufrry Fandom si doing so well and getting so much further than we've been before! This documentary looks like it will be THE go-to information source for Mundanes (or pre-furs)! It's quite level it seems and will help spread the positive light on the fandom that most other sources wouldn't. So thank you everyone who's working to make things so much better and God bless you and yourr actions! ^v^
