--Their Cause (and how it's flawed)
--The site

"Furry" is a pretty split subject. Although there are people who acknowledge the existence of furries and essentially ignore them, there are those whom their lives revolve around the subculture and those who regard it as a smudgy, permanent stain of terror in society. I'll admit that I'm an enthusiast, but that's not the point. Has anybody ever heard of this "Coalition?"

click on "What are Furries" and read the last two subtopics. and Definitely check out the "Resources" page. It made me laugh.

So from what I can gather, this site was made by a "Coalition" of mothers who are afraid that their sons might go around choking their chicken to cartoon fox boobs... or worse; getting their sphincters destroyed by another man (or each other) in a fox costume.

I suppose I can understand where they're coming from, they want to keep their children safe from "yiffy" materials which "allegedly" are hard to filter in search engines. They argue (and I quote) "when a youth or child looks up his favorite cartoon animal friends on the Internet, it is highly likely that he will end up finding Simba - cub or adult - performing filthy acts in pornographic images." notice the word "highly" in this quote.

So I decided to do a little research. I decided to go to four of the most popular (to my knowledge, at least) search engines and typed in "Simba" just to see what I get. I even turned off all the filters, just to see what happens (IT'S RESEARCH!) and here are my findings. You get infinity results (actually, an average of 384,339 results) of other people's cats, who's masters NAMED them Simba, a couple screenshots from the movies, and oddly enough, pictures of military automobiles. So the question comes up; I wonder what the hell their children typed into the search engine to get these "Pornographic" pictures? It was later found that all of the founding mother's children were themselves already deep into the fandom and were caught frantically touching themselves to Simba nude stocks.

Here's another thing about their inquisition, from what I gathered, there seemed to be an underlying discrimination against homosexuals and middle-aged men. The funniest thing to me is that they don't regard their crusade - to exterminate furries (at the very least, from the internet) - nothing remotely close to discrimination. They justify this by comparing them to other groups of people who have been discriminated. They claim that furries don't deserve to be accepted because it is "insulting and belittling to those groups of people who have, and many who are still fighting for equality, rights and acceptance." Among the people that they deem worthy of being accepted are: Jewish, black, homosexual, and the blind. In the end this is their argument:

Furries don't deserve to be accepted because they didn't suffer mass genocide, nor were they subjected to 350+ years of enslavement, or were they victim to cruel right-wing, conservative social stigma, nor do they have a physical disability that inconveniences their daily routines. Only if they fit one or more of the following criteria can they be accepted...

Does anybody see the "Nazi" behind this Coalition? I'm sure many of you have, but Like it says on their site: "Knowledge is the beginning".

Enough about their cause, let's talk about the site. The site itself is supposed to be a resource site where people can find out what "furries" are without running into objectionable anthropomorphic material on the internet. I don't suppose that they wanted to be objective about any of the material that they wanted to provide. Off the bat, you can tell that they want to instill their propaganda on you by immediately associating furries to porn, pushing onto you that your mind and eyes will be raped if you so much as look up the words furry fandom in... say, wikipedia. now obviously, you're not going to find the words "sources" or "bibliography" on this site... If you would look in their "resources" tab, you will see that they have prepared (Rather flimsy) propaganda fodder for the readers, to fully equip them from the furry menace. This just further proves how once-sided, narrow-minded, and fascist they are.

I'm not saying that Furry porn is non-existent or harmless (c'mon, REGULAR porn burns Jesus...) All I'm saying is that for those who DO want to find out what furries are, they should look somewhere else, and after viewing the facts from all six angles, you should THEN decide if you want to fight against it or join it. Here's something that I CAN vouch for, there are many much persons that are into the furry fandom who are also NOT into the pornographic stuff, and simply appreciate the "furries" for what it is.

anyway, until nexttime:
