I just bought a fox tail at Hot topic! Do you think they might be selling them because of the furry fandom becoming more popular? Because hot topic sells whatever is popular (Like Silly bands, Ripped jeans, internet meme shirts) Or is wearing foxtails becoming popular among goths and emos? Im curious why i was able to get one their :D
-
I've just noticed a bunch of people at my school wearing animal stuff, and I can tell you staight off they're not furs.
Its just the fad right now. Not just cuz of furs.

Meh... At least its a fad that can make some new additions to the fandom :)
-
Hey, they need to sell ears again (I did see a pair at one once. ONCE.)
Although the collar selection they have has always sucked >.>
-
Most agreed Aoren. I got a better collar from the Dollar Store. :P I really need to get a new one though, had it for a year.
Maybe I'll post a pic of me wearing it... :)
But anyway, Hot Topic stuff is usally overpriced anyway. I'm making my own partial, so I get choice of everything that goes into it. I'd rather it that way, or maybe get one from Lion of the Sun (Talk about expensive though! But his skills are worth it.)
-
Makin' a partial? Me too! Although mine is too unique, never been done before like dis :D
Back on topic-
Hot topic is kind of meh, and If you want to buy tails check out party city xD Same quality as you'll find there (sadly true) and 120% cheaper.
-
Really? You too? How is it gonna be extreme unique? Well, good luck on it! :)
I think the only reaseon people pay so much at Hot Topic is because they don't know the right places to get the stuff. ;)

They should, Fox ears and a fox tail. I think that they still sell ears (cat) but they are usually not in stock :/
-
Hot Topic merchandise is usually licensed official merchandise that they've actually been permitted to sell (a lot of places sell that stuff without permission), so that's part of the reason they're so pricey.
Just remember that this thread isn't about how pricey Hot Topic is, but about them selling tails and why.
But yes, I've seen those tails there...didn't get one though because they didn't match my fursona.
-
whoa...they're not at MY hot topic.
they were there during Halloween though
-
NO Its a FAD its stupid i think
there's this new thing (go youtube it) called Teenage werewolf's
and these kids are just as bad as the kids who think there vampires. And if they are not careful they will add more badness to the fandom i believe
These kids believe so much there a werewolf that in one case a kid actually killed there neighbors dog and took its skull. Others are just the same as the goth vampires but instead were fake teeth and tail >.> so lame cause its stupid when they do it
No offense to the fandom i hope it doen't become popular =/ cause everything i liked ended up being ruined because people thought i was cool and thought they were it and they WEREN'T only because it was cool. *they ruind so much of what i was*
Like goths and vampires. Only a select few of people actually thought they were vampires and went through with it. Goths too I remember when they were weird, now there freaken cool and people act like they were like that there whole life and act like there life really does suck. THEY RUINED THE FANDOM FOR GOTHS AND VAMPIERS now there ruining werewolf THANK YOU TIWLIGHT i hate you!
I loved werewolfs before it was cool, just like i liked being a furry and acting and being an animal and wearing a tail before it was cool
HOTTOPIC WILL MAKE WEARING A TAIL COOL!
yes shopping would be easier for a tail and heck maybe some gloves. But STUIPID people like the same kids that ruined everything dark, Gothic and vampire will ruin furies and there fandom if HotTopic has its way.
I like being me when its only me cause, i am the way i am not because its cool. The reason i like being what i am better when its not popular is because i never was popular and that means i have my own identity. If this ketches on people will automatically place me into that popular group, and i may or may not be popular. *has lots of frustrating reasons but its not necessary to talk about them, unless people want me to*
Just remember... vampires weren't as popular before HOTTOPIC and THEN twilight
*Is filled with rage* stupid people ruining a good thing to make money >.> *can fell the noobs who have no idea what its like to be furry yet, think its cool to be one, approaching*
The new wave of people who think they are one thing but are not is coming Why did it have to be this if it DOES happen why not dolls or pet rocks!? Or High School Musical again!? Anything. *hope it never effects furies*
For thoughs who think it will open new doors for furs and to be able to get better excepted, or something like that. I agree.just like it help goths to get excepted, but some goths liked not being excepted because they already not excepted and liked it that way!
They ruined dragons for me *it go cool were i was at* they ruined werewolfs, they ruined pokemon, being a gamer is the norm now >.> errr sorry something about this i feel will
-
I will say again, remember that this is about Hot Topic selling tails and why.
It's not a thread where you express how Hot Topic made things popular that you liked and ruined everything for you.
-
ok fine XD
i like the idea of tail shopping, but only if its in my color
i hope this has a positive effect in how fur is made in the future.
better? hehehe :P sorry i had a rant moment
-
I'm wondering why mine has none
-

probably not enough want for it in the area, they dont ALL cary the same thing. Thats bad buisness Xd you waist money doing that
you wouldn't sell Indian cloths in china would you?
same thing
-
meh, but I have a ton of furries in my area
-
In my opinion I consider this a good thing.
By the selling of tails, ears, and other animalistic things people buy can help people become more comfortable and open-minded about furries.
Think about it.
Homosexuality [Note: No I'm not comparing sexuality to the fandom] slowly become more socially acceptable and open due to the positive/neutral examples via the media and LGBT groups.
It took a few decades before being openly gay/bisexual/lesbian/etc. was safe to do.
Even though there is still some denied rights and lack of tolerence with some people in the world, the number of people who actually understand, accept, and support it are many.
Case in the point.
The more furry-like things that are considered positive/neutral and are accepted out in the open will slowly cause the Furry Fandom to be better understood for what it really is.
-
May take a few decades though..

Mhm.
But think about it.
Our future generations can be openly furry and accepted.
(:
-
Then I hope I live to see that. which means I gotta stop eating junk food
-
im on top topic right now but i cant find the tails, where r they?!?!?!?!
-
I can't find them either!!
-
i demand satisfaction of the tails! *slaps with a glove*
-
Ask the people
-
I went to hot topic to check out if they would be selling them near me (Just to satisfy my curiosity)
ONE. Terrible quality, $40, and for some reason people where buying them >.> It attached to a belt via a cloth loop. Kind of looked like it belonged on a MOLLE system, tbh.
-
how do you mean bad quality?
-
Visible stitching, low-quality meterials.
-
a tail's a tail
-
It was made of nylon/cotton (same as the $3 old navy shirts) Pulled over a wire frame. For some reason they felt it was alright to have visible seems/stitching at both ends of the tail.
Lol I was gonna text you pictures but my phone got stolen xD
-
stolen by who??
and did you buy it?
-
$40 bucks when I aint a fox :o
No I didnt...
And 'twas a good thief. I dont right know.
-
so that's why you're silent
-
Yesh. My phone is gone. Probably forever D:
Anyhow, yeah, not the best tails out there. Your probably better off finding an up-and-coming fursuit maker and comisioning one.
-
yeahhh but those cost a whole lot
-
Not if you find somebody who has an overstock of them, or is not as well known.
How much does toska cost, anyhow? She said she had a TON of them... And you could buy it with a prepaid visa, if your worried about people finding it.
-
She's in australlia!

VeeSmith's already asked you people to stay on topic twice in this thread. If you want to discuss something off-topic, take it to PMs or someplace more relevant.
Locked.
