A lesson for all you trolls and haters. Dad in the background is the best part.

Dad in the back nervously petting the cat - hilarious. Perhaps Dad's deaf and thinks the kid is online practicing with his junior-high debate team.

Well, I predict this lasting another couple of minutes, but I would like to go on record as finding this fucking hilarious.

When he gets more fur? What about the thing in his dad's lap?

Also ...

Fruit so low-hanging it might as well be a potato.

Also, it would have been amazing if, after the main kid gets up to fetch his things, his dad had been replaced with "Amber Lamps" from the Epic Beard Man video.

I see a lot of you are still rascist agianst Furries

Furries aren't a race. Total fail.

"I'm actually a furry myself"

O RLY. This is my total lack of surprise.

Comedy. I like his little blurb he has on his actual channel: "its a scientific fact that people are born furries just like gay people are born gay and one day you'll have to except it ". Exceptions! Exactly!

Yiff in hell, furfag. Wow.

I have now heard everything.

See you post-rapture folks.

Here's the song he referenced. God. Hilarious.

what the heck?

you think this kid is a furry? because i didn't watch the video all the way through. rather reminiscent of the britney spears rant, don'cha think?

If somebody knows enough about furries to insult you using the word yiff, they're trolling you.

Hahah. From the furry song:
Virtual international space
And it's hard to discriminate
Nobody knows your gender or race
When you're a talking animal instead of a human face
Indeed.

i'm still trying to muster up the courage to play that furry song. I'm having the same sort of uncomfortable I get watching Glenn Beck or Borat- not embarrassment for myself, but embarrassment for the other person.

it's interesting how, in two minutes, you can watch someone not getting laid for their entire life.

He's a furry. He's gonna get laid at every sci fi convention he goes to. Of course, he'll have to dress like a pink zebra.

Confession time: in college, I was the director of photography on a documentary about furries. The director's mission was to be civil and non-judgmental towards his subjects. As a result of this, I have been to Rapid T. Rabbit's apartment. He was a perfectly nice guy, and while he was certainly eccentric, so are most people. He also had a nifty U-Matic system.

Anyway, while we're waiting for this to be deleted, I wanted to say:

I like this kid. He's articulate, he's clear about what he thinks, he hates hatred, and he hates trolls. What's not to like? I don't care who the fuck you are; I will stand beside him and fight for his cause, whatever it is, because I dare say that I like the cut of his jib. And all you haters can suck it.

The trolling song was pleasantly jaunty.

Wait, Rapid T. Rabbit is an actual person?

This is a very good point. It's funny how friendly MeFites can be to any number of misfits, but still furries are the punching bag of the Internet. You have to give the kid some bravery points for giving potential bullies (not to mention future employers!) so much fuel for lulz.

I still wonder what the hell the dad is thinking, though.

Well, the guy who plays him. Obviously, the rabbit himself is not a real person.

Although I will point out that I have also met, through film school but not through any furry-related projects, the "real" Grover. Fun fun fun. Muppets are uncannily real and expressive even in person.

Arctic fox! Nice choice. Or not a choice, I guess.

Crap like this makes me glad that this technology wasn't around when I was young and stupid...

(note: being old and stupid doesn't matter, you don't have to spend 50 years waiting for it to bite you in the butt again)

I'll be back later to post the "haha omg lookattheweirdkid" post you were hoping for. If this hasn't been deleted in the meantime...

Sadly no. I met the guy who played Grover on Sesame Street in 2003.

I predict this thread will go surprisingly well. Certainly it's ridiculous to demand equal protection and consideration as a lifestyle in comparison to homosexuality, but in the end he's not hurting anyone anymore than the Leave Britney Alone guy--and his goals are probably the same: Go viral by making yourself hysterical. Good for him--go for yours sonny.

I also predict that once other, meaner communities (SA, 4chan) stop caring if a bunch of nerds pretend to be animals, and the trolling stops, the numbers of furries will diminish drastically.
