"Furries" - I saw some of these fruits in Downtown Pittsburgh yesterday. They were acne-encrusted Trekkie types with furry tails coming from beneath their Star Wars shirts. They had "security" folks walking around with them - as if they would be targeted for beatdowns.
I would have been happy to oblige, but I had shit to do.
Ph.D in chemistry, and an animal sex fetish...well, I guess it stands to reason. "Adult Aspect"...? Good fucking Christ.Pop culture has conspired to cast Furry fans as a cult of twisted zoophiles, said Anthrocon Chairman Sam Conway, who goes by the nickname "Unkle Kage"after a martial arts-trained cockroach he invented.
Conway blamed the perception on an episode of the television drama "CSI," an MTV documentary on sex fetishes, and a particularly unflattering article in Vanity Fair magazine.
In fact, Conway said, Furries are harmless. A "fringe element" enjoys more-adult animal themes, in private, but most would rather watch Porky Pig, he said.
"People seem to think the adult aspect is what we're all about," said Conway, 42, who earned a doctorate in chemistry from Dartmouth and works for a pharmaceutical company in the Philadelphia area. "That's a stigma we're hoping will go away."
The article mentions protesters...WTF? Hey, if you want to dress up in deely-boppers and don fur-covered dildoes and lick the pimply cheek of a round bitch in a unicorn magic t-shirt, then dammit, that right should not be questioned...
