Fur What It's Worth

Bullying and hatred have long been part of society in general, and in turn, the fandom. It's a hot "buzzword" in the media these days, but what exactly defines bullying? How have you been bullied? How is it different within and outside of the fandom? What can you do to overcome it? Gina joins Roo and Tugs as they embark on a thorough exploration of this topic, including identifying various kinds of bullying as they read your extremely personal, powerful stories.

The Lion King was released in 1995 and spawned a fan community all its own. Nearly 20 years later this small, but persistent group has remained an endearing set of friends, some of who have crossed this particular bridge into the furry community.

If the Furry Fandom loathes one thing universally, it has to be the media. Syd Stoat, movie producer and furry con co-chair, joins hosts Roo and Tugs as they explore the world of media and how it interacts with the Furry Fandom.  Does the media really have a negative bias toward furries?

It's a question popular for the furry fandom over the last few years - is it appropriate to pop your top in public spaces? Klik joins Roo and a very sick Tugs as they explore this highly divisive topic and attempt to discover what the best solution possible is for both sides of the argument.

Hilarity ensues!
