Duuh, Of course not! 00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:20.560 The creation of this kind of content is not harmful by itself. 00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:27.120 What can make it harmful is the kind of treatment the community itself gives to this kind of subject. 00:01:27.220 --> 00:01:31.440 You probably remember the video I made talking about stereotypes. 00:01:32.240 --> 00:01:32.740 Well... 00:01:33.140 --> 00:01:37.320 That stereotype is something that the community obviously tries to avoid. 00:01:37.360 --> 00:01:39.520 However, they do it the wrong way. 00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:44.760 To put this in a more interesting perspective I'll make a comparison with two other fandoms okay? 00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:48.120 between the otaku, brony and furry communities. 00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:54.940 (Before you ask, yes I am fully aware that the brony fandom is basically just a "diet version" of the furry fandom. 00:01:54.940 --> 00:01:57.640 except it is directed to one specific furry cartoon. 00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:02.060 And no, you don't need to give me that talk about "My Little Pony" not being a furry cartoon. 00:02:02.060 --> 00:02:10.140 Unless, of course, that magical colored ponies that talk, act and think like human beings are no longer considered furry characters and nobody warned me) 00:02:10.140 --> 00:02:12.180 MOVING ON...~ 00:02:12.200 --> 00:02:13.000 Let's go! 00:02:13.060 --> 00:02:16.860 Wesites dedicated to NSFW content, okay! 00:02:16.860 --> 00:02:21.820 The possibility of finding NSFW content (or references to it) on random google searches, okay! 00:02:21.820 --> 00:02:25.460 They are all heavily stereotyped communities, okay! 00:02:25.460 --> 00:02:28.700 Seems like very few things I know, but these are some of the most important details! 00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:29.700 Now... 00:02:29.700 --> 00:02:32.280 Let's talk about those stereotypes first. 00:02:32.320 --> 00:02:33.800 When people talk about "otakus" 00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:39.400 A lot of people think about "hentais" and the whole "waifu" stuff even though they KNOW it's not all about that! 00:02:39.600 --> 00:02:45.520 Many people think that is a "bizarre"community and some have a deep hatred towards them. 00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:46.420 But... 00:02:46.760 --> 00:02:47.700 Obviously... 00:02:47.700 --> 00:02:50.400 If you ask them to justify that hatred 00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:56.080 The only answer you will receive perfectly match the stereotypes surrounding that community! 00:02:56.460 --> 00:02:59.420 Which means that is a unjustifiable hatred. 00:02:59.420 --> 00:03:00.380 Also known as... 00:03:00.460 --> 00:03:02.640 Stupidity~ 00:03:02.760 --> 00:03:04.220 When we talk about "bronies" 00:03:04.220 --> 00:03:06.680 A lot of people immediately think about "clop" 00:03:06.860 --> 00:03:09.380 Some claim it is a cartoon meant exclusively for a children audience 00:03:09.540 --> 00:03:17.500 and some say the brony community is purely constituted by potential criminals or people that refuse to grow up. 00:03:17.600 --> 00:03:19.880 And when we talk about "furries" 00:03:19.880 --> 00:03:22.820 Very similar stereotypes show up as well 00:03:23.220 --> 00:03:24.860 Since "yiff" is a thing 00:03:24.860 --> 00:03:26.820 Many people call them perverts 00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.640 Some people also say they refuse to grow up 00:03:29.640 --> 00:03:32.980 And some even say it's a purely fetishist community 00:03:33.180 --> 00:03:36.980 (I'M LOOKING AT YOU HEITOR WERNECK) *Author of a completely misleading article about the furry community* 00:03:36.980 --> 00:03:39.260 MOVING ON...~ 00:03:39.260 --> 00:03:43.920 All of these things are nothing but stereotypes and most part of the community knows that. 00:03:44.040 --> 00:03:45.320 And as I said before 00:03:45.320 --> 00:03:50.340 Not only the furry fandom but all the other communities want to get rid of such images (stereotypes) 00:03:50.340 --> 00:03:53.440 But many of them insist on doing it the wrong way. 00:03:53.440 --> 00:03:57.260 And the furry community unfortunatelly seems to be one of them. 00:03:57.260 --> 00:04:01.200 But now, the same question I made on another video about stereotypes applies to this one. 00:04:01.200 --> 00:04:08.160 How to prevent stereotypes from taking over the whole image of a community because of NSFW content? Like yiff for example. 00:04:08.160 --> 00:04:10.420 As you are probably already expecting: 00:04:10.420 --> 00:04:13.740 The answer is basically the same from that other video. 00:04:13.760 --> 00:04:15.600 one word: AWARENESS 00:04:16.020 --> 00:04:21.760 Not only for the newcomers but for the ones who are ALREADY part of these fandoms! 00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:23.680 When it comes to "yiff" 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:25.680 Some people try to argue the following: 00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:32.360 But there are children on this community as well! this kind of content should not reach them! therefore it's harmful! 00:04:33.020 --> 00:04:33.740 REMINDER: 00:04:33.740 --> 00:04:37.620 Don't throw at the fandom a responsibility that does not belong to it. 00:04:37.620 --> 00:04:47.520 Supervising a child's access to the content available on the internet is up to their parents and not up to the fandom content producers. 00:04:47.640 --> 00:04:55.340 Specially because nowadays it is generally known that fandoms and communities directed to games and cartoons 00:04:55.340 --> 00:04:59.840 Are NOT exclusive to a children's audience at all! 00:04:59.840 --> 00:05:04.740 Now, if one day your son or daughter accidentaly cut themselves with scissors for example 00:05:04.740 --> 00:05:07.900 and because of that you want to sue the manufacturer then... 00:05:07.900 --> 00:05:10.220 GOOD LUCK~ 00:05:10.220 --> 00:05:11.460 But now, serious talk... 00:05:11.660 --> 00:05:16.800 The right way to prevent such situations is probably so obvious people just can't see it! 00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:20.960 Or maybe they are just too lazy to do anything for the community they claim to love 00:05:20.960 --> 00:05:22.860 But there is a pretty simple solution: 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:31.920 1-Properly inform people 2-Do not hide or demonize any means of artistic expression and entertainment made by the community 00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:39.100 3-Let the interaction of the newcomers with the other furries allow them to stabilish their own interests. 00:05:39.260 --> 00:05:40.400 Seems pretty simple doesn't it? 00:05:40.400 --> 00:05:44.240 It's pretty easy indeed! 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.380 But unfortunatelly that is not what has been happening! 00:05:46.380 --> 00:05:49.680 Many members from the furry community fight that situation the wrong way. 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:53.260 And only end up facilitating the occurrence of what they fear the most 00:05:53.260 --> 00:05:58.740 They treat certain subjects as "taboo" and sometimes even completely demonize things like "yiff" 00:05:58.740 --> 00:06:03.740 They present opinions and completely subjective factors as an absolute truth 00:06:03.740 --> 00:06:06.320 And end up giving the newcomers the wrong idea. 00:06:06.320 --> 00:06:08.540 Almost as if they were saying: 00:06:08.540 --> 00:06:12.020 "Oh, I don't like that! Therefore they are not allowed to like it as well!" 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:14.140 Or an even worse situation 00:06:14.540 --> 00:06:19.040 When a newcomer finds out about "Yiff" and asks someone about it 00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:20.740 It usually involves a lot of 00:06:20.820 --> 00:06:22.900 "Uhh...You don't want to know" 00:06:23.020 --> 00:06:24.040 Or even 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:26.660 "NO! Stay Away From It!" 00:06:27.400 --> 00:06:32.500 No to mention that these reactions usually come with facial expressions that even seem to say: 00:06:32.500 --> 00:06:34.440 "OH NO, HE FOUND OUT!" 00:06:34.660 --> 00:06:36.260 So, to end this video... 00:06:36.260 --> 00:06:37.180 Remember this: 00:06:37.180 --> 00:06:40.380 Treating the situation in such way will only make everything worse 00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:45.240 And sometimes it makes the newcomers even more curious about it. 00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:50.400 Many times they would have understood the existence of adult entertainment on the furry community 00:06:50.400 --> 00:06:53.760 If someone properly explained it instead of banalize the subject 00:06:53.920 --> 00:07:01.460 This constant trivialization only empowers the stereotypes that the furry community tries to avoid. 00:07:01.460 --> 00:07:05.480 It's like trying to put out a fire by throwing gasoline at it 00:07:06.100 --> 00:07:07.780 Now here is the question: 00:07:08.420 --> 00:07:11.100 Any other subject you think would be interesting to talk about? 00:07:11.220 --> 00:07:14.060 Any other video I should make regarding the furry community? 00:07:14.300 --> 00:07:18.680 Would you like to share your opinion with me and with the other subscribers? 00:07:18.760 --> 00:07:23.080 Use your right of free speech and let me know what you think in the comments below! 00:07:23.080 --> 00:07:24.580 Aaand I'm out! o/
