*woops and jumps in air* YA!!!

[Kaprika]

this is a fur forum...

i think its safe to assume we all have fur pride

[Vine Tabris]

Not to be a negative nancy, but it might be preferable if you set it to where the comments received have to be reviewed before being made public.
These types of videos are extremely prone to be troll-bait.

Annnnnd just for the record, I don't exactly have too much of that fur pride. It's a nice, enjoyable hobby and interest, but I'm not all for the "rather die on paws than live on feet" type pride. If an open minded person doesn't mind furries, then yeah, I might tip them off that I'm into it, but if people don't want to know about the fandom or are against it, then I just won't tell them.

I though that this being a furry forum then everyone here would support this video but it seems I was wrong and if people toll this post then let them it just means that this forum is working it is getting the furry word out and as far as the I would rather die on paws thing it is not sirius I don't think anyone here would really rather die. I would rather be hated  for what I'm than loved for what I not.
So forget people that want to hate just be your self. Furry for life.

[Vine Tabris]

Not sayin' I don't support it, just sayin' if you don't want the video to get negative comments (as many furry videos do) you should change the settings to avoid them being public.
And I know you didn't mean people would actually die.

If people want to be negative then let them be negative it just make them look bad.

Firstly, did you get approval from the artists featured in the video? Wanna make sure you have your erm, paws, on the dry even (or especially) when doing activist things.

Secondly, I think Vine meant negative comments on YouTube and not in this forum. We're pretty much troll free in here thanks to mods and owners doing a great job. YouTube loves to soak furry videos with hateful stuff.

And to the video itself, I agree with Vine (heh, I've done that a lot lately it seems) that I'm personally not a die-hard, hand-to-the-chest, fur pride type. It is just a hobby to most people. Things like these tend to make the furry fandom seem like a lot more than it really is. Buff it up for no reason. It's not like it's as life changing and dangerous as bullying, or as discriminating and unfair as sexuality rights.

Also, I couldn't stand the music. But that's just me.

I would rather be hated for what I am than loved for something I'm not

[Vine Tabris]

No one's saying you should hide it or lie about it, but at some point you have to realize that the furry fandom isn't something to go to war over or devote your life to.

And I think Puncia has a good point; did you ask the artists if you could use their artwork for your video? Most artists would be pretty upset if they found out you used their art for something they didn't approve of, plus it's rather rude. Just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's yours and that you can use it for whatever you want, yeah?

[Tron Cat]

Ok guys can we put this thing to bed
oh and All art Copyright to their respective owners

[Puncia]

I think it's more important that you write that in the video description on YouTube itself.

[___]

...Yea.
And being an artist myself, I'd be mighty pissed if you used my art without my permission, and without mention of me IN the video. I think you should just take it down and do it all over again, its really disrespectful to the person that spends hours (And I mean HOURS) making the picture.

But I don't have any problem with the furry pride videos, they're pretty cool.

[Tron Cat]

I did put that in the videos disruption on YouTube and on all my video I never said I made any of the art now let it go people

[Puncia]

We are not trying to criticize you or make you uncomfortable in any way, but the truth is that art is a large part of the fur community and thus a very big deal. Artists have to deal with their artworks being stolen and used without their permission constantly and thus it's important to make sure you're allowed by the artist to use their artworks, even in something as harmless as a fur pride video.

A good example is in this forum where users are encouraged to always list who made their avatar artwork, signature artwork, etc. It's a big deal in the fur world.

So please, don't take it personally when we ask about it. It's just the norm. The effort you put into the video itself is very good and we do know you have every good intention with it.
