Spot Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 That's what I thought. I already know that 2 is not to be taken too seriously because yeah, he is a comedian, but holy shit, the thought of this turning into a religion is cringy as fuck.

Saxon Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Oh, it's sarcastic. I thought it was going to be some poor soul who was deluded. It's definitely a joke...for anybody who is wondering. It's a comedy criticising the practice of affording religious people special privileges other people are normally not allowed to have. I definitely know of people who do think they want their furry identity to have spiritual significance. They're called 'Otherkin' and they, bizarrely, think that they were animals in previous lives and retain that fundamental condition even now. They're pretty nuts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feelwell Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 This guy is the best. This is exactly what I needed to wake up to. It was obviously a joke, but of course a few will take it seriously.

So it doesn't bother you that it's a possibility? The fandom doesn't revolve around any kind of deity (unless you take Kage into consideration), but look at what they managed to do with Scientology. Somehow I doubt turning the fandom into some type of organized religion could be any worse. It's kinda fucked up really because so many devote themselves to the fandom wholly, so it does beg the question if there would be any benefits to it. 3 minutes ago, Saxon said: Does anybody know whose fursona is in the background?

That entire Uncle Kage = Scientology article is total bullshit. Kage's influence on the fandom outside of the bounds of Anthrocon is negligible. He occasionally gets put in front of cameras because he can formulate complete sentences without saying 'Penis'. He's never made any effort to influence the fandom outside of his convention and he doesn't have the power to do so if he were to try. Honestly, Dragoneer has more power over the fandom with his ability to break artists at will with a few key strokes should he so choose.

Rassah Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 1) You don't actually have to believe in the religion, or the things it claims, to belong to it (look at Catholicism, har har) 2) The tax benefits alone from this would be tremendous. Your $3,000 fursuit purchase can be a tax deduction, and the entire Mecca that is Anthrocon would be entirely tax free for the con organizers. You could also be ordained as a minister (as I'm sure Kage and 2 will be), and then any donation you give to the Church of Furry will be tax deductible, and that same amount that they then give right back to you for "ministry expenses" will be tax free. You can donate $100 a month, receive that money back, and use it to buy all your furry porn commissions tax free! So, yeah, I'd be all for it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
