My explanation of furry.

[lionkingcmsl]

I did a video explaining what furry is and is not, in my words.

Yes, I know it is not "polished", but I feel it is more conversational this way.

Do I feel it is going to change anyone's views? Maybe, but if I can clean up some misunderstandings then it is worth the time and effort.

Ahhh...I'm pretty uncomfortable with you mentioning gay and trans people under the same umbrella as zoophiles, and treating it like a weird fetishy thing. Even if that's not what you meant, that's how it sounds.

If you note that I, in the subtitles, say that it is the media's view, not mine.

I also edited the "annotation" explaining myself and clarifying that it is the media's connotation and not mine.

Bless your heart, but I'm sorry, this is the worst way. You start by filling everyone in on all of the possible negative things they're supposed to be thinking, just in case they haven't heard every single one, and then you don't give them any convincing reason to stop believing what you just told them.

But the furry fandom has been presenting itself this way most of the time for decades, so don't worry, all the damage was done long ago.
