| :Hmm, the reason why it is categorized as a sub-genre of scifi could be that the furry fandom started at sci-fi-conventions (correct me if I'm wrong). So it ''originated'' from the sci-fi genre, but you are of course correct that it is no ''sub-genre'' of sci-fi. Actually furry can be any kind of genre imaginable, but fantasy would be the most fitting one I think. | :Hmm, the reason why it is categorized as a sub-genre of scifi could be that the furry fandom started at sci-fi-conventions (correct me if I'm wrong).

Zootropic Paranoia
What is "Zootropic Paranoia" ? Google produces only this article for that term! If it is a term coined within this community, could it be briefly explained please? -- Tarquin
My Oct 6, 2003 change was not minor, sorry
Sorry, I forgot to untick the "minor edit" box. So I'm a noob. I've changed my preferences so it doesn't default to ticked. PeterCat 00:32, Oct 8, 2003 (UTC)
Extensive edit/reorganization
This edit was an extensive reorganization of the article, bringing together related ideas and excising redundant material (and some weasel and non-NPOV language). "See Also" links were incorporated into the text as free links. PeterCat 03:59, Oct 29, 2003 (UTC)
- I would think weasel words would be encouraged on this particular topic --Calieber 18:49, Oct 30, 2003 (UTC)
Is the quote "G*d Damned" accurate or has that censoring been done by the editor who put it in? If so, why is God censored rather than Damned? I'd suggest leaving it as "God Damned" unless the original was also censored. --Darac 14:55, 26 Nov 2003 (UTC)
I removed the sentence "The furry fandom is often depicted as being chiefly female. Given that most furry works, though adult level, tend to be lighter and more sentimental, many see reason to believe that the furry fandom evolved as a reaction to the male dominated testoterone fantasies prevalent the comics/SF/cartoon fandom.". I take part in the furry fandom and don't see significant more "female behaviour" than in any other community. --Conti 21:29, 22 May 2004 (UTC)

Skiffy relationship?
I think the relationship of our fandom to scifi is tenuous at best. I've seen more fantasy elements in the fandom than scifi. Granted, aliens would kind of technically be furs (alien animals that are anthros.. kind of) in the same way that humans are kind of ape anthros.. But thats not where the fandom comes from and science fiction is a rather small subset. I'm recommending we remove the part that says we're a subset of the scifi fandom. - Augur 14 august 2004
- Hmm, the reason why it is categorized as a sub-genre of scifi could be that the furry fandom started at sci-fi-conventions (correct me if I'm wrong). So it originated from the sci-fi genre, but you are of course correct that it is no sub-genre of sci-fi. Actually furry can be any kind of genre imaginable, but fantasy would be the most fitting one I think.
- Oh, and please do not make such edits. If you disagree with something on an article just ask on the talk page or Be Bold and change the article the way you think is right. A "(Maybe??)" in an article does not look very professional. Thanks for mentioning this anyways! --Conti|✉ 09:24, Aug 14, 2004 (UTC)
- Yeah, furry originated from sci-fi. But, it no longer being there, has evolved more into a kind of medium than a genre. —Muke Tever 01:40, 14 Sep 2004 (UTC)
