Simple as that.

Somebody mentioned here that they have a bad name. What does that mean? What sort of a bad name? I've never come across that except on the CSI mention I got also from elsewhere.silverpaw wrote:Um furry Badness? lol I have no idea what that is can you explain a little?

Well some peple think furries are bad cose furries are sometimes seen as "a sick gruop of people who dress liek animals and have sex, and also have sex with animals"
Thast one ive heard but thats kinda S#@^, sure some furs do fursuit and all that but theres nothign wrong with.
While there are no major conventions, there are small get togethers that I know of. You might concider looking at http://www.furry.org.au/mailman/listinfo/ozfurry since mailing groups and fourums are some of the best ways to get involved. I hope that helps.Kirk Hammett wrote:But if anybody wants to fill me in on more furry information, I'd be interested in learning about them. We dont have conventions here so becoming one would be useless, except Halloween, but Im interested regardless. Also about the so called 'Furry badness' What is that all about? Probably fake? Ive never met any sick minded furries before.
May I re-state that the majority of furs have no interest in yiff or other deviant sexual activites. I found ManaWolf's philosophy paper well-written, but fairly disturbing. Most of us would agree that that is definately not ok.Set wrote:"Sometimes it's necessary to go a long distance out of the way in order to come back a short distance correctly." - The Zoo Story, Edward Albee
In other words I'm going to drag this off topic again just long enough to post a link. It has a very good article about furries on it.
