Subculture in the Spotlight: Furries

Ok, you may, or may have not heard about furries. But chances are you scene something about these guys some where, and you just didn't recognize it or understand there was Fandom involved. So what is a furry? Furry should be an adjective or something to do with fur or hair? Yes, in Webster's Dictionary yeah your right. But WD doesn't ever have Lingo/Jargon for other groups of people and what they use.

A 'Furry' or 'Fur', as in someone who is interested in The Furry Fandom, is someone who has one or many of the following intrests or beliefs. 1.) Art, Furry Fandom is full of art. Of what? anthropomorphic animals or cartoons. Animals with human like characteristics. Most all furs will make one up and use it as a persona to interact with other furs through RP. 2.) RP is Role Play, the act of acting like their character. Many members enjoy this. 3.) Fursuiting, is another popular one. And is what got me into the group. This is the act of dawning a Animal Costume and having fun, or doing whatever in it. You will find when you put one of these things on, alot of walls will come down when interacting with someone. 4.) Otherkin and Weres, are a subgroup. They go along the belief animal spirits are watching over them, or they are reincarnations of animals or really are an animal in a human body. Its a very spiritual thing.

Those are just some common things to identify a Furry. One may be intrested in Art and Fursuits, one may like niether. The Furry Fandom is very very diverse so no one definition is enough to describe it. Furry Fandom started way back in the late 70s some say when people just wanted to get together and discuss things like their favorite cartoons. Now its expanded and is easily almost a million members strong across the globe.

For some people the Furry Fandom holds a huge chunk of influence on their everyday lives, and their lives reflect that. For others its just a hobby, a fun one at that. There is no real way to learn more without coming across a load of hate propaganda or other stuff that's really irrelevant, the best way to get to know these guys is to talk to them. They are everywhere, just browse furry type videos on Youtube and exchange comments with one another.

Subculture in the Spotlight: Anonymous

We have all discovered from time to time groups of people gathering together for things we can't help but wonder to ourselves; why? Sometimes we see people doing weird things in public, way to freaky for comprehension. Well if you see something reocurring or just a vast number of individuals participating, chances are its some sort of fandom subculture. Here is one example, Anonymous.

Anonymous is just as stated, anonymous. Their creedo is "We Are Anonymous, We are legion, We do not Forgive, We do not Forget, Expect Us." And its a true statement, Anonymous members can usually be found at only certain events, and are usually wearing things to conceal their real identity, EG masks, balaclavas, Afros and other wigs, and a suit usually goes in accord. The "Guy Fawkes Mask" or simply for outsides, 'the guy from V for Vendetta, his mask' is the predominant piece attire.

Anonymous and its members with all their beliefs started on an American Anime discussion site, known as 4chan.org, around October 2003. The site has many discussion boards, now more then half not even about anime. But in 03 there was one board called the Random Board. It quickly grew to be the most popular. Many things would be posted there, some would get really popular, like forever the internet will remember 'cats with funny macros', as 4chan's random made that famous internet content popular to post.

The typical life of an Anon (single member of anonymous) consists of lurking online, many websites that are relevant to Anonymous's interests. Rather it being 4chan, 7chan, or a host of other chans, Encyclopedia Dramatica, Ebaums World, or many others. Some others include targets for raids, which Anonymous loves to do. Like one, poking fun at Scientology. And in 2007 anonymous protested Scientologist's beliefs, and many funny intresting things happened from there, and they officially gained global status as an elite subculture.

If this sounds intresting to you, even in the slightest, check out 4chan's random board when your free, you can post funny content, rant, rave, talk about problems, you name it we can help. http://4chan.org/b

[que song]

Sulfide: We are the new kids in this division, the old rejects, the forbidden

We are not about what we did, because all about what we didn't

We can make Charles Manson pale to our garrison of the midnight sun,

hired guns, narcicistic ready to rock someones shit.

I will take your pencil and plant it deep inside your skullcap

Reap's cookin utinsels and perform a flappy floppy splinal tap

Our pupils hate on us most want to fuck us up

singing their blithe pansy chants, eubonic tounges of hip hop [stab]

Crank dat merciless gravy silence. [cough of blood]

The Reaper: Look at that hotty roaming the halls, shit all hanging out

I'd kill and mame, do anything to fuck her just abit, [stab sound]
Her body's still hot, even though she's ice cold and her throat has a slit.
She'll be full of maggots and sure you think its kinda sick
I would still kill just to kill her and fuck her corpse with my dick
she smells like rot being over three weeks past dead
But the way she looks at me with her swelled head
I sit and admire her blue face
I hold her tight in a loving embrace....

[chrous]

The Reaper: Your schools not going to do shit for you! Sulfide: Fuck no!

Sulfide: Make a name for yourself! The Reaper: hahaha

The Reaper: You best lower your standards and take what you can get.

Don't fucking get pushed around sling a block in a sock

slay those that challenge you and get in your way

Use a led pipe get em dude! get em dude! with a KNOCK KNOCK

Turned your head to a pulp bitch!

Sulfide: Get your homies together and roll tight.

Try as hard as you like use all your might

Your shangri la is only if you can make it.

No body else cares or gives a shit about you but your juggalo family.

The Reaper: WEST SIDE MOTHERFUCKER






Sailing trip around the ocean
death as my companion
Fog machine, Mystical magical sparkling lights from the fire alarm
I'll use your scalp for voodoo magic and your anus for a lucky charm
Your intestines for rigging and Make a Sail from your scrotum skin
release the anchor lets go for a spin!
