Looking Back On The Furry Fandom
Roz Gibson just posted several pages of images from furry comics from the '80s and '90s, useful to those of us that still remember what the fandom use to be. And that has been weighing on my mind a lot lately.
I'm not sure I care much for today's furry fandom, the art is great, there are a lot of fantastic artists out there; but it's over sexed, stagnating in it's own semen. The fans are not much help in this either, I'm tired of reading posts about peoples sexual exploits and the like. I would love to see a return to what furry was: Good stories told with animals, perhaps the type of stories that can't be told any other way.
Mostly I'm just feeling old. I look at the furs that make up Durfur and wonder what the hell I am doing hanging out with them--I am far too out of contact with them, half the time they don't know what I am referencing. I'm a fossil from another time period--the golden age of furry, one that has passed into antiquity and has become forgotten.
I've said that I like being the oldest of any group I'm in, but I don't like being made to feel old. In the end it reminds me of the youth that I wasted and that's depressing as it is.
Furry is about college age kids hooking up and fucking.
Nothing more than that.
