Post by: Somebody on October 25, 2009, 11:22:10 AM: I'm surprised beastiality wasn't mentioned in the show at all, which is definitely a good thing. Nice to see the fandom is represented in a decent light for once. Its also good they didn't use FurAffinity as a ref for their research.

Post by: iKero-chu™ on October 25, 2009, 04:20:09 PM: Woo-Hoo!
xD
Thats pretty awesome.
Title: Re: We're famous! Kinda >.>
Post by: Goblin Cat 😸 on October 25, 2009, 05:44:39 PM: Wow, I was expecting something a lot worse than that, actually. It was presented in a decent light, and I'm not exactly used to it. That's refreshing and pretty cool. Though, I do think that it's funny that we were mentioned over big sites like FA.

One of my YouTube videos was on the Chicago news a couple weeks ago. I didn't even know until someone else told me about it.

But yeah. It's neat that the forums got on TV. :P

Post by: ___ on October 25, 2009, 11:15:46 PM: Really!? Cool. :)
Even if all I do around here nowadays is lurk... XD

Post by: Asia Kali Yusufzai on October 26, 2009, 02:19:00 PM: I've been on TV twice before. Once for a news item on mental disability, and once for a TB outbreak in the school ...

So yeah, this is a step up, even if it's only the front of the site for a split second. I'll take what I can get :P

I emailed the show to express our thanks for such an unbiased viewpoint as shown below:

Hi,

I just wanted to send a quick email in regards to your showing of Attack of the Show on the 22nd October regarding the Furry Fetish.

As the lead administrator at the Furry Forums (http://www.thefurryforum.com) as featured briefly at the 1:52 mark on the video at http://g4tv.com/attackoftheshow/wtf/68824/The-Furry-Fetish.html it's nice to see an unbiased view of the fandom.

I just want to express my gratitude for the show, it is much appreciated.

They replied today with the following:

Quote from: G4TV
Glad you liked it (and that they made a fair showing of what is often a misrepresented fetish).

Feel free to link to/ embed the video on your site.

Post by: Noke on November 03, 2009, 07:19:46 PM: It is really nice for furries to be presented in a good way for once... I know a lot of people who watch G4. It's nice that people won't always associate furries with having a sexual fetish or anything.
Title: Re: We're famous! Kinda >.>
Post by: Something on November 11, 2009, 04:21:10 PM: Haha Cool :) My first thought when i saw the Subject title was ''Oh no.......''
And then i saw how they didn't portray furries bad. And i was like ''Wow, what an amazing show''
mainly because people who made it where so open minded. Heh, Guess the people of this planet are starting to open their minds a little. finally,

Post by: Tweak on November 11, 2009, 04:52:03 PM: I wouldn't post something which portrayed us badly, I don't trust it wouldn't result in a flame war.

Another article, interesting portrayal, seems to be mostly neutral but from the UK media this time. Although not about these forums in particular, I want to keep it all in a single thread.

This article is great, it's pretty much spot on!
