Makes little sense to someone who's calling himself a Furry (me) too.

This movement's agenda is to advertise furry fandom as a friendly, tolerant, and, most importantly, clean community most furries, though, feel that doing so takes away an important part of what it means to be furry, arguing that, even though furry fandom encompasses much more than just sex, the sexual side of furry fandom cannot and should not be denied.įurries generally tend to ignore these controversies, but occasionally, the matter surfaces again for example, at the 1997 Anthrocon in Albany, New York, three different groups (the proponents of the sexual connotation of the word, the opponents thereof, and a faction tired of the entire controversy as a whole) all took to writing 'I'M YIFFY!' on their name-badges the confusion and ill karma this generated in the extremists provided great amusement to the convention attendees.'Īnyone familiar with this please rewrite or explain.

'However, there is also a comparatively-small movement of those horrified by the word's sexual connotations that exists to alter the popular usage of what is arguably furry fandom's commonest piece of jargon into something more generally acceptable. Where do those airheaded imbeciles come from? 68.13.191.153 03:12, 2 December 2006 (UTC) Perhaps it is time to emulate the past and remove all vowells from the language. BRILLIANT!!!!!! Concise to meet the standards of ONE apparently brainless tumor. I do believe that there is more information in the version provided by Schnee, and therefor shoud be used in preference to the shorter, but less informative discussion. Feedle 08:10, (UTC) Concice is indeed a good thing, but not if it removes some information present in an article. Always add, never subtract is a major part of how ALL wikis generically work, and would be my advise to the anonymous editor in this case on Wikipedia. The politics are there, whether people want to 'deal' or not, and how furries handle 'Yiff' in the future will, I think, define what it means to be part of the movement. Schnee 11:58, (UTC) Viewed from the perspective of somebody who is on the outside of Furrydom (but looks in now and then), Schnee's edits are much more informative, and neutral enough POV. Concise may be nice, but it's even nicer to have an article that gives as much background as possible for those who do not known about it from elsewhere. If you think that something should be rewritten, then by all means, do so, but keep in mind that more information on a given subject is a Good Thing(tm). Please, don't just revert articles and/or remove information without an actual reason to do so. The longer-than-necessary details of the politics inįurry were given the chop.
