Internet Subculture Series: Furries, Why Cartoon Animals Get Sexualized, and Furry Coded Celebrities
Added 2024-08-08 21:00:05 +0000 UTCThis episode was a BLAST! Today we dove into the Furry Fandom online, how it came to be, the misconceptions and truth of furries, my experience at the Furry convention, why and how cartoon animals (especially female ones) are so sexualized, a furry conspiracy theory, and celebrities that are furry adjacent (to me, at least haha).
Also check out this article to see just how much animators sexualize female cartoon animals over male ones, once you see it, you can't unsee it! https://www.boredpanda.com/male-and-female-animals-in-animated-movies/

2024-08-12 13:23:37 +0000 UTCLOVED this deep dive- this topic is so fascinating! I’ve been wondering for quite some time now, just how Furries and Bronies became such a strong culture. Especially Bronies. I’m so curious as to why that spoke to so many men and how it got such a massive subculture. It’s really cool to see men embracing MLP like that. Can’t wait for that episode!

2024-08-09 18:40:59 +0000 UTCI live in Grand Rapids Michigan and it is in fact true that public schools are dealing with furry culture. Meowing, barking, hissing at teachers, using litter boxes on the bathrooms, etc. it’s TRUE
