Exactly. It existed before, but it got PURPOSEFULLY concentrated and intensified post-9/11.

The string of horrible furry media coverage in the early 2000s didn't exist in a vacuum. It was part of a massive post-9/11 push for jingoism and "normalcy" on TV. So everybody "different" or "marginal" would be portrayed as a villain or be made the target of mockery. Hence furry marginalization.

It is pretty interesting to look at the kind of information people in the fandom (and everywhere else, really) used to be comfortable with putting out there for everybody else to see. Very different from today.

Not acknowledging its existence won't make it not exist. People who look for "dirt" on furries are very aware of this comic. And I think it's important for younger furs to know what can happen to our fandom when you let haters take the reigns of your narrative, as was the case in those days.

A warning should be given to anybody planning to look through the pages of that publication: Homophobia, transphobia, fatphobia and other prejudices ABOUND.

To say that people who personally knew Keller and found themselves depicted in that comic book were livid is a euphemism.

"Shawn Keller's Horrifying look at the furries" was a pretty disgusting and , quite frankly, libelous piece of crap comic book where Keller would attack real members of the fandom by depicting them en masse as sex predators, perverts, and deranged manchildren.

"The fursuit of happiness" was an article that appeared in the April 12, 2001 issue of the Montreal Mirror. It TRIED ("tried" being the key word here) to give a more balanced view of furries as a fandom. But inevitably circled back to obsessing over how we strange freaky people had sex.

I'm not going to post this kind of thing often, but... Pro tip : It's generally seen as horribly insensitive and trashy by polite society to name drop a recently deceased person to win points in a petty internet argument.

The Freezing Furs were a (now defunct) group that was founded in response to the Burned Furs. They believed (rightly so) that Burned Furs were a hate group seeking to rally support for a "cleansing" of the furry fandom by dehumanizing and discounting folks that had been part of it from the start.

Update on this situation. Apparently, Mark is NOT doing well and is being transitioned into end-of-life care. Which, as you know, can be VERY costly. So any help is more important now than ever.

Not vintage furry stuff, but likely relevant to people here: Oklahoma republicans are passing a bill that would make it illegal for children to "attend school as furries". Not only that, but a child could potentially be removed from school by ANIMAL CONTROL. All that because of LibsOfTiktok lies.

In the mid 2010s, Jagermeister ran a series of adverts using bizarrely horny-on-main furry imagery. (Don't ask me why the stag guy has a very visible and detailed bulge on an officially alcoholic beverage advert, I have no idea either)

In 2022, Dick Tracy had a storyline taking place at a furry convention taking place in Chicago called Fanfur (alternate universe MFF, clearly). He meets with a staff member called "Eric Greymuzzle" about a dastardly fake animation cell ring.

The poor girl was routinely abused during the filming of movies, continuously labeled as an "ugly duckling", fed pills, made to smoke to stay thin, and all that from an early age. AND THEN PEOPLE had the gall to judge her for having substance issues later in life?
