Oh they don't know what kind of shit they got themselves into with this. So I was browsing Zero Punctuation videos and I noticed a banner advert because I recently switched from using Firefox to Opera. (HURR GO ON RATE ME DUMB FOR THAT ALONE) This is the advert. [img]http://cdn.themis-media.com/media/sites/escapistmagazine/images/gamedogs/gd_overlay_d2.png[/img] So yeah. The Escapist are doing a Furry web series.
oh no those bastards are appealing to a niche market!!! SHUN
cartoon animals = furries
garry apparently you're a furry
oh no [editline]10:21PM[/editline] Holy shit garry thread
[QUOTE=garry;19606365]cartoon animals = furries[/QUOTE] According to [URL="http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=define:+furry&btnG=Google+Search&meta=&aq=undefined&oq=define:+furr"]this[/URL], Mickey Mouse is a furry. (And the internet is the only source available for information on furries, albeit this means it's unreliable.)
[QUOTE=garry;19606365]cartoon animals = furries[/QUOTE] It kinda is. Attracts more furries.
oh my, cue shitstorm of people claiming furry, oh deary me i hate it so much i just have to bitch about it all day!!!!
Aw, man. I read VGcats when I was younger. Does that mean I'm a furry? [editline]11:28AM[/editline] Also posting in a garry thread
Well obviously it's made to appeal to furries. What other reason would they have for humanoid animals? Like johanz said, attracts more furries. It's a good tactic though i admit. Increasing their target market with possibly the biggest social group on the Internet.
[QUOTE=johanz;19606422]It kinda is. Attracts more furries.[/QUOTE] not really i grew up on sonic, looney tunes and all that shit with anthropomorphic animals in them yet I do not find them attractive at all REASON: willpower if you want to be a furry, you'll be one. if you don't, you won't. simple.

Gaining more views. Doesn't have to be sexualized for them to be all over it.

[QUOTE=RedStar;19606467]i think that was painfully obvious with my post: (which is sarcasm by the way)[/QUOTE] Skimmed past your post, sorry. I don't have a problem with them trying to drag in more interest. I'd complain that there's a better way to get a different kind of interest (visually) but there really isn't.

[QUOTE=DeadorK;19606670]Totally ripping off VGCats :smugdog:[/QUOTE] Except it has dogs instead, lol VGDogs :smugdog::smugdog::smugdog:
I couldn't name a single feature on The Escapist other than Zero Punctuation.
What... the fuck? Aren't these the people that created Unforgotten Realms?
i bet they're gonna be wacky
Escapist sucks now.
[QUOTE=Egevened;19606622]dear god i just imagined bugs bunny having sex jesus christ no[/QUOTE] Rule 34, there's tons of it.
I got this feeling shit is going to hit the fan. I'm going to need to watch this to judge, you can usually tell furry to just anthromorphic based on the humor, and/or fan(dis)service.
i get the escapist spam in my email, and i can't unsubscribe it :frown:
Posting in a thread with Garry. Also just because their cartoon animals dosn't make it furry.
Not liking the little preview of this. It's a strange animation style and the characters are too childish. [editline]01:20PM[/editline] [QUOTE=garry;19606365]cartoon animals = furries[/QUOTE] *Anthropomorphic cartoon animals. There are more realistic furries too.
I bet everything will be ok guys. It's not like Facepunch is going to be that affected.
[QUOTE=Soulmemories;19607172]I bet everything will be ok guys. It's not like Facepunch is going to be that affected.[/QUOTE] you would think so
I don't see the problem.
