Shame. People shouldn't believe everything they see on T.V., and/or should at least look it up to see what it really is.

Post by: Asia Kali Yusufzai on July 09, 2009, 11:00:43 PM: They did the same thing to games and to sci-fi. They deal only in negative stereotypes because it makes things seem shadier, more bizarre and therefore more entertaining.

Post by: TailzWolf on July 10, 2009, 01:41:27 PM: I just watch it for the forensic explanations, even though I know they're probably not true. The only episode that's gotten to me was the dog-fighting one.

Post by: Asia Kali Yusufzai on July 10, 2009, 03:21:16 PM: All the crimes are possible and all the technology is real (though almost all actual CSI labs are nowhere near as advanced). The only thing that is fictional is the characters, the personalities and the society portrayed.

Title: Re: CSI
Post by: Timmy Fox on July 24, 2009, 08:34:50 PM: Yeah, i just saw it, the only thing you learn from watching it is the bad side of furries... it was just complete *** i hope i never get to see it again...
Title: Re: CSI
Post by: FireFox on July 24, 2009, 08:45:38 PM: i know it made me really mad to watch that
Title: Re: CSI
Post by: Count of Cutesy on July 24, 2009, 10:03:05 PM: I saw it, too. Although I don't really remember if it shed a bad light on all furries, but you guys are telling me they did. I hate it when people make episodes to shows when they don't have their facts straight.
Title: Re: CSI
Post by: Asia Kali Yusufzai on July 24, 2009, 10:13:03 PM: the most flattering character in it that i can remember is a balding, glasses wearing, middle aged man who dresses as a blue bikini model cat.

CSI is always like that. If you had believed that then you would probably also have believed that game companies create games directly ordering impressionable "youths" to kill others to get publicise their games. sci-fi didnt fare too well either (grown men living with their mother), nor did battling robots (over-macho men / geeks)

Title: Re: CSI
Post by: Szhival on July 28, 2009, 03:01:54 AM: I heard about that episode many times, yet never really cared to watch it. I don't care that much, what a fictional TV show has to say about furries.

On the other side, I loved the episode about Second Life, laught the whole time ;3
Title: Re: CSI
Post by: Zinc on July 28, 2009, 03:06:03 AM: I always loved that episode too, but I only got to see part one.

Post by: Armalite_ on July 28, 2009, 04:18:13 AM: I kinda want to see it now...youtube. I need to see how bad it really is before I can make a comment.

K well I saw the whole thing on Youtube (yes it is all there) and to me...it just seems like another CSI episode. I was never a fan of that show, let alone ANY dramas with 1 hour episodes but I thought the whole furry thing was a bit rediculous. It kinda made furs look like weird perverted retards...Then again, a lot of CSI is like that. When I looked at all the comments I was glad to see a lot of non-furs standing up for furries. They know that the episode is no where near realistic.

Post by: Vamp on July 28, 2009, 06:47:58 AM: what really irks me is the fact that the scenario was one furry killing another! We all accept each other! Where do they get off sayin' stuff about us that isn't even factually close!? And then there go a step further over the line and classify us as some fetish freaks! I'm totally writing a letter!

Post by: Thaddeus Q. Wolfe on July 28, 2009, 11:57:15 AM: ok, i guess i'm going to come off as the jerk with this response....

People, It is fiction based in truth. Yes, there are some that get off on the entire fetish of wearing suits while... yeah, in the moment, which i dont understand 'cause it would mess up the suit and stain it, not only stink it up. Also, some people like to get revenge, they are called a'holes. And some people are womanizing doorknobs, they are also called A'holes. and then there are drunk old truckers that shoot at anything that moves, they are called republicans. combine all of them and throw in the girl who slept with another man who never had any bad intentions... and you get the messed up mix up. The wolf guy only wanted to get Rocky (he's the only one whose name i can remember 'cept for sexy *shudder urk*) sick because he was sleeping with his (wolf suit guys) girlfriend. So... he stuck some drugs on the back of sexy cat (the blue flamy thing) and that got rocky sick. so..... the girl picks him up, thinks hes drunk and drops him off on the high way cause shes pissed. idiot republican saw him and thought it was a coyote (he was actually puking all over the inside of his fursuit because he wasnt going to take off the mask so the suit isnt ruied) and then shoots him. welll...... girl realizes oh poop, what if hes sick not drunk? turns around, runs him down without reason because she was freaking out and he stumbled in front of the car while she was going like... 60-70?mph then she freaked out again and front ended a semi.

there was no fur on fur violence per say, just fur on fur revenge, which happens a lot. any way.... it was pretty well written, and probably has happened minus the car crash/getting shot by a republican. yeah. umm.... csi miami is better.

Post by: artimus on August 22, 2009, 10:49:32 PM: I'd like to note something real quick, sorry that this is a month late.

The name of the episode is "Fur and Loathing". Well, the title is a take of the name of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" based on the book of the same name by Hunter S. Thompson. The book is a part of the legacy that is Gonzo journalism, a journalism style that promotes style over accuracy.

Now, as we know, the furs depicted are the tiny percentage of real furs. a small percentage shown as if they're the majority of the fandom. In other words, the episode promotes sensationalism and style over accuracy.

Does anyone find this as a satire of either Gonzo journalism or the close-mindedness that nobody understood because of how obscure it is? I'd like to to think so.
Title: Re: CSI
Post by: Asia Kali Yusufzai on August 23, 2009, 03:48:01 PM: It may have been a parody but the obscurity and the wide ranging audience means that it falls flat and only helps to sensationalise.
