Anime fandom just had some very general and generic perverts into porn and big breasts.


I beg to differ. Rolling Eyes But going into sexually graphic detail will violate the TOS. Laughing

It bugs me that some of the Furverts wanna appropriate anthopomorphic funny animals and fans of the same. There's a big difference! I love Uncle Scrooge comics, but that doesn't make me a soul brother with some poor schlub who's fetishized cartoon animals.

I've heard it before. On Furbid with some of their auctions.

Sorry to resurrect this dead topic, but I just got this rather humorous email today.
Quote:
We at Furtype do not in any war appreciate or condone the fascist and one-sided statements you've publically made against us. You have been rude to us, our magazine, and our kind of fandom. This is discrimination and pure b******t. We hope you all go f**k yourselves and burn in h**l you worthless a******s!

P.S. F**k you and your ugly mama too!

(content has been cleaned for ANN censors)

Just wow. There are so many things I could say, but really this letter speaks for itself.

I got that email too. It doesn't do much to counter the idea that furryfans have something wrong with them, does it?

Heck, I even tried to defend the poor goofs by posting that Savage Love article.

I also recieved that email, to which I sent the following reponse:

Quote:
Despite the fact that this is quite possibly the most immature and
crass emails I've ever read, I'll enlighten you with a reponse of
sorts.

Do you even know what facism is? Apparently not, but what you're
suggesting (abolishing freedom of thought and opinion) is certainly a
step in that direction. Are you trying to imply that people should
not be able to express dislike for something? Your wish to restrict
freedom of thought is certainly a fascist ideal, which makes the
opening statement of your email so ironic.

The opinions of a group of forum posters do not express those of the
website as a whole. Likewise the contents of this email do nort
express the opinions of the entire staff and website. Just my own.

The original news story was not biased. That's all the courtesy
you're guaranteed. Forums are for expressing our thoughts and
opinions and it is ridiculous to assume that staff members should not
be able to express their opinions in the forums. I don't know what
exactly makes you think that everybody has an obligation to be totally
neutral (or totally supportive of something, as the case may be.)

If you have a bone to pick with someone who expresses disgust for your
website and hobby, you address it to the individual, not the website
as a whole. Personally I don't think that your website deserved the
publicity we gave it in the first place, but this email you've sent
pretty much guarantees that you'll never get any such attention in the
future.

Don't even try to play the "discrimiation" card, as this is also a
concept that you clearly do not understand. This is a lifestyle that
you've chosen, not something that was determined by your parents, by
nature or God or whatever you believe to be your maker. I have just
as much of a right to "discriminate" against you and your fandom as I
have the right to discrimate against a Nazi, a terrorist or a
murderer. They choose to live they way they are. So do you. The
end.

Wow, a bit harsh for making fun of their fetish if you ask me (especially since there are people who could and would say alot worse). Do they really expect most people to take their magazine seriously?

Yes, I recieved the lovely offending e-mail today as well! It almost seems like the author just plucked random members to e-mail, because the exciting two posts I made in this topic simply made fun of the crude artwork and I even posted links to anthro artists I like. Nothing like making yourself look good... Rolling Eyes

True, I also only had two posts in this thread in which I said nothing particularly bad about Furries at all. Rolling Eyes

I didn't get the e-mail, so I guess not.

It's been awhile since I got an e-mail to personal e-mail account, too bad it had to this nut case. *Still up chucking, with pride.* Razz
