I don't like seeing furries being treated with respect. Mental illness free human people come to know and trust Shakfox but furry is now part of the gay agenda. Each con is a travelling asylum of unresolved childhood trauma where users cope by spending tons of money from a STEM job. Professional propagandists giving false-positive affirmation that it's okay to be yourself and furries are nice Brrrrrtttt!! Wrong! They are the most judgemental, self absorbed, entitled, sheltered, racist and classist culture of people I have ever attempted to make friends in. Anthrocon makes Pittsburg a lot of money. Pittsburg doesn't love you. Shakfox doesnt get love from fur Fandom anymore but I tried to show love once by producing a couple of shitty dance events that I had to stop hosting because the furries I made the party for said I sucked. Furries consistently treat me like shit. Shakfox is pre-emptively banned by the loving and accepting safe space because he is a dirty agricultural worker and doesn't provide the Fandom with toxic positivity to sustain the delusions.

@@Maxie962why?
@@Maxie962you deserve that blud.
As a fellow fuzzy furry , this gave me chills and tears of joy !
Watching this almost a year later is so amazing. I always had such an amazing time there. Sadly this year 2024 wasn’t possible for me 😭

Great coverage, and the Public Outreach speaker, John, is fantastic at representing the fandom. Hats off.
Thank you for showing the fandom in a positive light. It's sorely needed.
It’s really nice to see people be more accepting of furries (I’m not a furry but I have a lot of respect for people who are, and all the costumes I see are super freaking cool) especially on such a big scale like this!
I’ve only met a few furries in my life but all of them have been great people and totally not what a lot of people portray them to be.
If any furries are reading this, I think you’re really cool and please keep doing what you do, it’s nice seeing what you all can come up with, especially the people who have rare fursonas!
hope to see you all here! also if anyone see’s Petey the business dog tell him i say hi!
Thank you Pittsburgh for being as cool as y'all are! ❤ -love, a Michigan fur
On one hand the acceptance is good. On the other, it's disappointing that the focus has become all about fursuiting. He mentions how expensive suits are getting like it's a good thing. Sorry that I can't skip a few months' rent to *truly* become a furry in 2023.
You don't need a fursuit to be in the fandom or even to show support when going out in about.
@@TreyDobe Yep. You've got notable people in the community who don't have them. Including plenty of streamers. They're so damn expensive, and are a luxury item. Even expensive cars and TVs serve more functional purposes. But I'd love one.
They need to talk about suits because that’s all outsiders know.
I'm pretty suprised to see this, but I'm glad that they're so positive about the fandom.
Thank you for this.
@@Maxie962 huh? What could be a false image of the fandom from what is currently in the video? Or what do you mean exactly?
@@Maxie962 what's the false image
@@EmperorVitrag @Maxie962 Thinks All Furries F*ck Animals. And that there is NO Good furries. 😑😑😑
Awesome coverage!
Normies be dunking on furries until they hear that 13 million is up for grabs when they visit.
It’s amazing to see an actual news station talking about furries in a good way. Positive publicity is so nice to see, amazing work! Anthrocon is super cool, hope I can go someday but I’m in all the way in Texas :’) hope everyone who goes has a good time!
Even though I’m Australian, one day I wanna go to Anthrocon, it would be an experience worthwhile
Im not in the furry community, but Im glad that the community is shown in such a positive light!
@@Maxie962 they are
@@Maxie962 50,000 dollars raised for charity this year at Anthrocon 2023
This is such good education! I can’t believe people hate furries so much
Wonderful vid! As an Anthrocon attendee myself, it is always a joy to come to Pittsburgh and be around others with similar interests, not to mention helping the local economy out
Awesome ! Wish I was there
Glad to see the positivity
Love to see y’all being so positive about it ❤
This made my day a lot! I love seeing furries in a positive light and I'll be making my very first fursuit soon...!
Awww this has brightened up my day❤❤❤
Great interview! Being a furry is very fun, no doubt!
@@Maxie962 You know. 90% Of Furries Aren’t Bad. It’s absolutely stupid to blame All furries for bad things only 10% of people in the fandom have done.
@@Maxie962 🤓
FINALLY! A News Interview that shows furries in a GOOD Light! 🫶
a wholly undeserved light.
@@Maxie962 I saw your other comment about the “having s*x with rode kill”
We DON’T F*ck animals! That’s a Zoophille. Zoos are NOT Accepted in our fandom and they NEVER Will be. And before you bring up “Kero” or “Shappo” We all HATE THEM! We Absolutely DESPISE People like them! If we could just snap our fingers and make all zoos disappear, we would.
Cool beans!! Glad to see positive light shown on furries.
Anthrocon is my dream con so seeing good news on it is amazing!
glad there being respectful would love to go to anthrocon one day
wow, those suits are so beautiful, the creativity of the furry community has always amazed me and i wish i had as much talent as suit makers do. hope i’ll be able to get my own someday :)
If only the Steelers had not signed on the dog killer Michael Vick.
I am so glad to see a respectful interview. Good job you two
this is so fun to watch i love it
This is so awesome actually
i absolutely love this video. News reporters only care about making them look bad, for example only interviewing some bad exceptions in the furry fandom.
It warms my heart to see this kind of stuff
they are so wholesome
this is so beautiful, more people accepting the fun and beauty of the Furry community. i hope more people are inspired to express their passion like this
Pittsburg is literally an irl zootopia
that was so wholesome and awesome!!
It good to see the community as it is
crazy to think I recognize some of the suiters
Man I love the furry community
So wholesome man, I wish some people would just understand that it’s very much comparable to cosplaying.
WOOT WOOT FURRIES SHALL RULE THE WORLD OF LOVE
Furries' idea of love is rather warped...
@@Maxie962 what is it?
@@_JP3 @Maxie962 Thinks that ALL Furries Are Zoophiles. And that there are “No good furries”
Don’t listen to anything they say.
Skrunkle club ^^
Skrimblo moment
I cried hearing this, no bad things
We need more people to accept furries someday and be part of the world towards their own identity with limitless imagination. It should be a place where we can be anyone can be anything, even animals or imaginary creatures. We should bring people together to view a similar viewpoint on furries to be treated equally. Thank you CBS for this wonderful interaction with furries during the Anthrocon weekend!
the furry identity is perverting the creativity and imagination of others.
@@Maxie962 I'd say you're the one doing that...
@@Maxie962omg once again most rule 34 tags that would be classified as “degen” such as forced and non con are mainly occupied by human majority fandoms such as Pokémon and rwby infact I have a entire artist I can tell you the name of who has drawn beast ality, forced, degradation and much more that legit isn’t a furry!
What does a 20k fursuit look like? Full covered gold?
Zuri studios sold a 25k suit once I think
Full with color, markings, and fun.
It’s probably a fursuit with very detailed designs, a bunch of attachments to make it easier for the suiter (built in fan, movable jaw, drinking hole), lights built into the suit, and other things that would take a lot of time to do.
What MothGuyz said. Anything with super intricate designs, and/or complicated electronics.
A lot of those prices come from auctions, which naturally inflate prices as well.
This just makes me so happy. Made my day
I love those 2 ladies
Glad to see the media is being accepting and honest
