Open up your Furry Heart
Hopefully I'm not preaching to the choir on this one. I thought everyone knew about Furries. But then I moved to a new city and tried to chat it up with my new friends. Potential friends. How could I know that they would stare their eyelets out at me when I casually mentioned "So you know what Furries are, right?" Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Here's a lesson from Vancouver. Check that bitchin' accent! Is she a robot?
Apparently Furry stories are the new baby-in-a-well story for the 2000's. Or maybe the new Goth news item. Heck, it was even featured in an episode of C.S.I. But for every rabid Furry supporter (you can be sure that us at Platypussy Records back the Furry cause), there's a intolerant anti-Furry somewhere out there.
This is one of the surrealest video finds I've seen lately. Take note of 1) the Furry Fighter Hunter's strange vocal work, which seems to be a common theme in fan videos. Everyone loves a strange, made up voice. I think there's some platy-spirit in that. 2) Mindless Self Indulgence. If you're not familiar, M.S.I. is a rock/metal/goth/furry/raver type band that uses a frequent falsetto voice and repetative lyrics/riffs to compose most of their songs. I first heard them on a Hot Topic sampler disc... you know, back when Gadzooks was beginning to suck clothing wise and Hot Topic wasn't just goth/emo city. They sold those car seatbelt buckle belts, so what did I care! But M.S.I. enjoys popularity in nearly every small teenage subgroup, from furries to ravers to goths to... indie kids? But even inside these smaller groups, there still exists certain special individuals who take things to that next extreme. Meet, the Gangster Furries:
Somewhere behind the fursuits and the online roleplaying/social networks of Furries lies a spirit that's very close to our own here. A need to celebrate and create eccentricity. A desire to wear costumes. An urge to create... fan fic. But has anyone taken time to consider the animals' feelings in all this?
