Does Offbeatr see [the success of furry projects] as a good thing, or a potential problem?
We think its great. When we launched Offbeatr we weren't going to just limit ourselves to traditional "porn". Our goal was to build a platform that allowed creative people to explore sexuality and in our minds the furry projects do exactly that.
High fives for entrepeneurial vision beyond just for profits (or at least, PR skill to present it that way :)
The whole story carries several thoughtful messages: it illustrates the value of furry fandom's creator-driven, creator-centered nature (even the porn part of it) - and it shows how the best business plans have flexibility to reach destinations that were never imagined when they started. Crowd-funding with furries... that's success in "long tail" business :)
