Even though this year Season 7 of Futurama won't be released until after Anthro-Con has come and gone; I am checking if any other furs would be interested in joining me at the Westin for a small room party with Futurama as the theme.

We'll probably end up watching Season 1-6 episodes if I can't find a pre-release for Season 7. Cuddles if you want them and just general good nature hang out time.

Ill be headed back to pittsburgh this year to invade Anthrocon and Id love to organize some sort of skateboard furry meet up.

Longboard or short, id love to get some footage of everyone to add to my Ac coverage.

This thread is more of a "whos interested" post and once June gets here, ill get another thread going to get the specifics down (who, what, when, where, ect.) provide there is enough interest.

Now, I'm not going to go on a rant as a rant is utterly pointless, but I am rather here to collect thoughts and opinions on something that has been bugging me for a while. I am not here for hating, but I'm truly curious about the topics about to be spoken of.

I will be starting this wall of text off with my bad experiences in the fandom. Just about every single experience I've had with furries to this point has been bad. Such experiences are rather offputting. One would assume that these bad experiences happen only once in a while, but they seem to be fairly common. I've had people manipulate myself and others for their fascination. I've had people lead others on with schadenfreude in mind. I've had people just downright be an asshole. I've also had the worst relationship of my life with a furry (another story for another time). These are just personal experiences and I try not to apply what I've experienced to the fandom as a hole, but it can be hard sometimes.

Now, I'm going to go on to my observations. From what I've seen, a lot of the fandom is...negative to say the least. A lot of furs seem to incite drama for either their own entertainment, or just because they seem to can't live without it. I've also noticed a few furs downright reject to interact with others if they're not part of a certain cliche. This doesn't seem to be as common, but I've noticed it from time to time. Another thing I've noticed is that, while the fandom presents itself as openly accepting of everyone, accepts almost no one at the same time. My evidence here are "babyfurs," those who are overweight, people outside of the fandom (this one seems rarer than the others), some people of rare fetishes, and just general hatred inside the fandom itself (a comic I noted a while ago about "gayfurs" rejecting "straightfurs" or I suppose vice versa). The last thing is that I've never understood the fight between the furs who reject yiff and those that embrace it.

Now I'm going to note a few things. While this post has been largely negative til now, I'm not going to let it get in the way of the few positive things I've seen in the fandom. Seeing the sort of "togetherness" at Anthrocon 2011 was inspiring and uplifting. Having fun with a few random furs in the game room showed that it's not all bad, or at least until the Brawl tournament starts. Also, seeing furs donating money to save a restaurant (Fernando's) in my hometown of Pittsburgh was absolutely amazing. It felt very good to see the fandom come together for that cause which was altruistic (even though seemingly symbiotic in nature as well). However bright these moments are in my memory, the negative things still manage to come through just because they're so distinct and numerous.

Now is the part I ask questions. Is any of this behavior as common as it seems? Or is it just isolated and I've had terrible luck the last few years? What positive experiences have you had in the fandom that have stood out in your mind? Negative experiences? What is your general view on the fandom as a whole? What exactly is proper etiquette on FurAffinity?

Any thoughts or opinions on my wall of text is most definitely welcome. If you have any questions for me, I will be more than happy to answer them in as timely a manner as possible, so long as it's not too personal a question. I would also like to mention that I appreciate the time you have taken to read (or at least skim through) this post. Thank you for your time.

TL;DR: furries

I sure as hell am. I've begun a community blitz on various sites and community building domains. Of course the one I've had the biggest response to so far is FA. But I've opened pages in Reddit and Gaming Furever too.

Guild Wars 2 is going to be big. I'm only trying to do my part to bring the community together so we can play together, rather then next to each other.
