Crazy Fox, sign of furry acceptance?

Crazy Fox is a home business scam(or I imagine it is one just like anything else promising to make you a millionare with minimal effort) that clearly uses a FURRY mascot. A talking anthromorphic fox. How that is supposed to actually encourage me to trust their ability to give me business advice is beyond me...but I thought it was interesting to point out. Anyone else seen the crazy fox commercials? Do you think furries are starting to gain acceptance? After all homosexuality is almost normal now so they need a new gimmick to throw in movies, advertising, etc etc

Anthro characters have been used in ads for the last 100 years. That does not mean people have warmed up to the fandom one bit. Your reading too much into it and need to stop seeing use of anthro characters in various ways as some sort of sign that the public at large has opened up to the fandom.

<3 If only more furries thought like you, the fandom wouldn't be such a complete hopeless wreck. It can't recover, and won't recover, becuase people like the OP swamp it down.

Have to agree with fox here, a major german insurance company has used an animated fox in tv ads for literally over a decade now. He started as an animated thing and and slowly changed to 3d renderings.

Does that mean they're furries? Not in the slightest. It would be massively dumb and short-sighted to assume that.

They simply used him because in german folklore the fox is associated with cleverness. I suspect something similar is going on in the ads you speak of, especially as a great part of american culture is also derived from german culture.

I think in order to warm up the the furry community (Ha.) the majority of the population would first have to even KNOW that it's there.

You are correct, in America foxes are also associated with being clever or tricky.

Well...the fox shown in the TV ads does, at first glance, look a lot like a full body fursuit before it becomes obvious it's a CGI rendering.

Also, read >>2 and stop looking so hard to find something that isn't there.

OMG! Last weekend I saw a Dodge/Chrysler dealer with a guy in a chicken suit standing outside waving to traffic. That must mean Chrysler supports furries!

>>1 Acceptance? Were furries considered unacceptable at some point? Maybe you have a different definition of acceptance than mine.

"stop looking so hard to find something that isn't there"

And why exactly would ANY of us feel the need to do that?

You seem to forget that Furry in almost its entirety is based on things which are not there (or that you could argue are impossible). Animal traits in people, animal spirituality, super wacky sex, etc. Imagination brings Furry to life, my friend, and if you don't understand that, then I don't understand why you're here. It's even usually the people who are the less ingrained into the fandom that are forced to use their imagination a lot more to keep themselves in it.

I agree this commercial probably has zero to do with furry acceptance. But I thought >>9 had a valid point: the character does look proportioned a little like a fursuit.

No self respecting human would ever be a fur.  But just like roadkill, furries are dead on the inside.

Why's that? How can anyone take "furries" seriously? Those people who call themselves "furry" are nothing you could take seriously. Ask yourself, people who take plush animals with them when they go swimming and wank to pictures of a beheaded fox ripping his own guts open with a dildo while a horse anthro, impaled on a rusty metalcross standing on top of a heap of skinned puppies, eats his own balls while drowning in the fox's blood. And don't forget the taur version of quickie, the Nesquick cocoa bunny, who's banging the horse's butt while sticking the teared off hoove in his own ass. How could you expect anyone to "accept" that?

I've seen those commercials. They absolutely dumbfound me as to the sheer irrelevance to the subject matter being discussed. Anyway, yeah, Shaitan, consider yourself lucky then that you have only encountered acceptance, because on the whole, furries are not accepted, and that is a fact. People are just starting to get used to publicly open homosexuals. It's going to take awhile before people even begin to accept furries. I know my friends don't. My friends are pretty oblivious to a lot of the different kinds of "people" out there that you might only find on the internet. They just about laughed me out of the room when they found a movie I had awhile back of someone dressed in a furry costume. I had to play it off like I found it too humorous to be arousing...

You shouldn't find it arousing. It's a dude in a freaking furry suit, those aren't even CLOSE to sexy.

I agree on that. People who have sex in fursuits which look like baseball-mascots - seriously, if anyone tells me he's aroused by that, how could I treat that with respect? How could I take an mid-aged adult man (they're always gays, I'm sorry) seriously who's excited by "funny" mascots? And "it helps to live our inner animal" - you must be kidding. What's this inner animal? Bugs Bunny? Oh man...

I don't mock furries. I respect spiritual believes involving an inner animal spirit, but that has nothing to do with furries. Okay, I guess I mock furries, sorry about that. But everyone trying to live out his "furryness" in such a cliché and trying to persuade it's his belief to wear a ridiculous disneyland mascot-suit is just... well... I don't even find a word for that.

It's delusional. That is the word you are looking for, delusional. Convincing yourself a crappy fursuit is even in the least bit sexually arousing requires an obssesed and delusional mind. Even the "good" fursuits which cost thousands to make aren't very arousing but lets face it, most people don't have freaking movie budgets to live out their fantasy.

Query:

Why do you even care what other people do? Why are you wasting your time saying how stupid it is when it doesn't even concern you? Isn't that just as pointless? Or does it make you feel better when you think of someone who you feel is weirder than you are? Or do you just want them to be more like you?

Just curious.

I let people do whatever their want, it's not that I chase furries down whenever I meet one and beat the shit out of him. But how often do furries complain about not being "accepted" and are trying to convince others of their "lifestyle" and how great they are? I can post my thoughts on that and maybe it'll help some people to understand why they are cosnidered mostly the way they are. Sure, I could just leave it be, but would that be constructive?

"Hey, I call myself furry, I like wearing fursuits, I like having sex in my fursuit and wanking to pictures of anthromorphic children. That's my livestyle, here take a look at my rack full of dildos shaped like animal penis'. So, what do you think?" - "Well, it's kind of weird, because..." - "OH SHUT UP! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME BE? WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH ABOUT OTHER PEOPLES LIVES? IT'S NON OF YOUR BUSINESS! STOP MOCKING ME!"

At the end of the day people can do whatever the hell they want so long as it doesn't directly affect me, the nation we live in or anything else that could indirectly affect me. Do furries affect anything right now? Not really. Will I stop criticizing them? Probably not. I'm just expressing an opinion, nothing more. If some furry wants to ever explain in depth why they do what they do(if I hear "just because" I will immediately tune them out) then i'm more than willing to listen. Otherwise I will use the information on hand to make comments and criticism because thats my freedom of speech to do so.
