DiscussionFurry content in children’s story-hour
Hope this is the right circle.
I take my 1 year old to storytime at our library and recently they included a video clip of a furry doing sign language. I know that not everyone is aware of furry subculture and it’s nasty associations with porn, so I contact the librarian and asked her to remove the content and train the other librarians on the matter.
So far she responded saying she was unaware of furries and will bring up my concerns with their content creators. I’m encouraged by this response and I’ll update with what happens next. That being said my library is obviously deep in the TRA gender nonsense even in the kids books, they hire tons of enbies, and there is a permanent display of pride/trans in the teen section.
I live in a county that has so far avoided drag story hours however it was exposes last year that the school district was covering up for students in fursuits. Emails were exposed, kids took pics, and then the district clarified it’s dress code to exclude ears, tails, and costumes…
Often I find furries seem to be good at disguising their kinks, making it seem kid-friendly, and then it becomes hard to explain to other adults and kids that it’s a fetish. If you don’t know the lingo you don’t know what to look for.
How best to describe to unsuspecting adults that furry culture is a yucky groomer vibe?
The furries are lurking as they say.
Edit: added the link to the furry whose content was in storytime. On their page they’ve “liked” a ton of pregnant male furry cartoons…
