NY Post Blesses Us With Yet Another Furry Related Story

[lupine52]

Ah yes, the NY post has run yet another furry related story, this time it is from a teacher in Salt Lake City Utah.  She felt the need to come out of the perverbial furry closet and unfortunately unlike some of the other articles they have posted this one in my opinion is extremely uninspired and boring

The Furry Fandom has no shortage of people that can't just enjoy it, they have an incessant need for attention, to be in the spotlight. Furry is nothing new, it's been around for decades, it's not some unknown phenomenon.

"Furries famously enjoy dressing up as cartoonish animals - sometimes as a sexual fetish, but more often as a fun escape."

"While many assume that all members of the furry subculture engage in strange sexual practices or harbor bizarre kinks, most furries dress up as animals as an innocent escape that fosters creativity and community."

There simply can't be any article that doesn't mention the sexual aspect of Furry. Other fandoms enjoy getting mostly positive media attention but everyone knows full well there is a sexual aspect to practically every fandom. Klingon sex anyone?!? As far as I'm concerned, this entire article was indeed boring and totally unnecessary.

yeah the sexual fetish is like a stain on a shirt that one cannot get rid of rgardless of how many times they wash it. When I checked the article the trash can icon was like 98 clicks to 0 saying it was a good article. That emphasises just how tired a topic furry fandom is to them. The sentiment seems to be do whatever floats your boat but keep it away from me and my kids.

But if one considers the genernal feelings of NY Post readers respective to "influencers" that is not surprising

On other topic, The livejournal team has really crippled their product for free subscrivers, they do not even allow a second page of "earlier entries" anymore. Unless you literally check daily a free user is likely to miss just about everything nowadays :(

Exactly, people are tired of the subject. There will always be a stupid person who thinks that they are the one that will shine a golden light on the furry fandom and change the minds of the people who want nothing to do with it.

I've had a permanent account for years. That is one of the main reasons why I still use Live Journal. Many have abandoned it a long time ago. Some die-hard people (like me) still post and comment here regularly, and some even pop-up on here after years of inactivity. It's amazing how furs go from one thing to the next: Live Journal to Dreamwidth, to Twitter (now "X") to Mastadon, to Discord, to VR Chat, to Bluesky, etc., etc. I gave up on joining new sites and platforms a long time ago.

Happy Birthday!
