Of course, I have NO idea what kind of qualifications he's gained, over the years.

Furries-The furry fandom is a subculture interested in anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics.[1][2][3] Examples of anthropomorphic attributes include exhibiting human intelligence and facial expressions, speaking, walking on two legs, and wearing clothes. The term "furry fandom" is also used to refer to the community of people who gather on the internet and at furry conventions.[4]. Their wiki.


Costume Play currently hold conventions, that draw crowds by getting a related speaker and ppl dressed in freaking well done costumes. Like Bill Shanter talks at the convention center, 200 looks like Spock, 100 Urhuras and 300 tribbles get sold by esty quality merchants.

You can reach out by DMs if you like.

Also, there's a fun informative YouTube channel:

It's all pretty silly. Plus furry isn't any more "all about the sex" as any other fandoms. You think those cosplayers dressed up as Klingons don't get laid at Star Trek conventions? Just some people find it cringey when it's a cartoon animal costume!

I think I was trying to say in a very obscure way, that as long as no-one is forcing you to put on an animal costume and go to a convention, that really it's not your business.

On another note, I don't think I would get laid, even in a Klingon costume

He was living high on the hog while they backed him. Now reality has set in. Boo-hoo.

Like in Dylan’s song “Like A Rolling Stone” as in “How Does It Feel.......”.

He is getting what his sad soul deserves.

1. They're illiterate.

2. They're broke. A result of Republican politicians' votes.

I know he - and Jacob Wohl - would never read, let alone respond to, any comments I left, but it would be cathartic to tell him to quit whining, that no one owes him a living as whatever the hell he thinks he is, and if he's unable to survive working as, again, whatever the hell he thinks he is, he needs to find a different job or go back to school and get more training. It's what conservatives tell poor people struggling to make it with 3 jobs so they can follow their own advice and not be hypocrites for once.
