After recent events at conventions, such as the series of events at Rainfurrest, and years of “f***ing furries”, we had to ask – Is our Fandom full of dumb people? Roo and Tugs are joined by master debater Arcas and master scientist/psychologist/and one of the lead researchers of the Anthropomorphic Research Project, Nuka, as they try to answer this question. Have we opened the door too wide and just let anyone in? Do we not hold furries accountable for their actions? Why or why not? Listen as Nuka and Arcas discuss the facts gathered over years of research and they reach the answer to “Is our fandom full of dumb people?” The answers just might surprise you.

Next episode: We’ll be airing a “Best of” next release, after which we’ll be exploring the interaction between Copyright law and the Furry Fandom. Should artists or character players keep the rights to commissioned art? Should you be able to borrow the art of others? How do you feel about “recoloring” of art? Do YOU own your character? Do others own theirs? Send your answers by January 25, 2016!
