Greetings,
Your report on the recent MTV 'Plushies & Furries' 'documentary' has a factual error regarding Midwest FurFest and our press policy.
Click here for more.FYI, MTV and Rick Castro pulled a snow job on the furry community and the MTV viewers. Among a whole slew of false representations and suggested-but-untrue references in the film (the list goes on and on, almost the entirety of the presentation), the most blatant trick which you should be made aware of since your posted information pertains to it is that the scenes between Yote and his mom were arranged and faked on camera at the request of the director, Castro.

Where on earth did you get that I was burned by the media? I am not an anti-press fur. I went out there and told the truth, it may be ugly in places, but the truth.

Subject: Objective Furry Criticism
Hello.
I am flattered to have caught your attention, yet I feel slightly misrepresented. You have described me as apologetic and a relativist in my writings, while I do not believe myself to be either.
Click here to read more.Oh lord!!! You think boinking animals is a major disease transmission vector? For every one guy that boinks his dog, 4000 dogs and cats bite people, 9000 pigs, cows and chickens are butchered by somone not wearing gloves, with small cuts on their hands, A bazillion mosquitos that previously fed on animals bite humans, 10,000 forest creatures pee and poo in streams feeding popular recreational bodies of water, contaminating it with things like Giardia and leptospirosis... etc etc etc.
Click here to read more.I'm quite glad to hear and see a voice out there that is done in the true ideal of journalism and not something written by someone of lesser responsibility. Your editors seem extremely professional, I only wish I could be that professional all the time. Kudos on a job well done.
Click here to read more.Knowing you will take my comments with a grain of salt, I very much wanted to comment on this so-called Marianne White. I am an ordained minister with several stories in Pawprints, I've spoken on several panels at Anthrocon and I've been on several furry mailing lists for quite some time.
Anyway, at the risk of sounding paranoid, having read the web page and the message board connected with it, I am seriously wondering if the Antifur group has found a new way to tweak the noses of those in furry fandom.

Subject: Y'all are headed for PARODY now
I received a message from a group calling itself Antifur International, dated January 30. The group has asked me to create and host a parody of your site for reasons undisclosed to me. I visited Pressed Fur, and frankly, I do not understand the desire for a parody. I'm not well-versed in things furry (other than a love for Pogo), and I found your site both intelligent and beautifully written.

I noticed you printed a letter from Scott Malcomson that has a significant number of factual errors and manufactured quotes about me, my reportage, and other topics.
Click here to read the rest.Good evening. My name is Scott Malcomson.
The name is only important in that I am specifically cited in your website: I'm the guy who ran for Governor of Arizona, who attended the Reform Party National Convention as a delegate, and who also happens to be a furry artist.
The reason I'm writing is to correct some interestingly salacious (and incorrect) tidbits.

We have contacted the Web master of batcave.net regarding the following request.
Please remove any links to our site and any mention of us from Pressed Fur IMMEDIATELY. We will reciprocate as soon as possible. As we explained to your Web master, we feel that you are misrepresenting us and that you have completely misunderstood our site. Remove us, and we will remove you, and the matter will be settled peacefully.
It is our hope that you will cooperate with our simple request.
The Antifur Collective
We think this message speaks for itself.
Well, it's nice you guys finally got around to noticing us and to listing us on Pressed Fur. However, as we've gone to bat for you, you might have done a bit of the same for us.
Click here to read the rest.In the relatively short time this site has existed, the response has been encouraging. Thanks to all of those who have been spreading the word for us. We've seen and appreciated people mentioning our site on web discussion boards and other forums.
However, there's something missing: Your voice.
We genuinely want to hear from you. We need reader comments, links to new articles, and editorial submissions. So far we've received two letters, both positive, but neither with material that would interest others. The purpose of this site is to get you thinking, and we want to know your thoughts. So if you have a response, either positive or negative, to what you see here, please see the FAQ for information on how to contact us.
Sincerely, the Pressed Fur editors.
