Anonymous asked:Scott pilgrim with dogs? But why? I thought furry cons were about everything in pop culture that has anthromorphized or animal characters in it like secret of nimh, white fang, sonic, mlp, dust, league of legends champions and whatnot just like otacon is about everything anime and manga. That's a potentially interesting theme you can work with, right? And it's simple and easy to understand. How come OC egotism took over instead?
i guess (and this is even wilder conjecture than usual) because the furry fandom doesn’t have a big enough fanbase of any one canonical thing in particular for it to really take hold. there are a lot of sonic fans, sure, but not enough for Sonic Furries to be a significant subsubculture with its own economy and big group of dedicated artists and self-perpetuating popularity
even bronies, by and large, don’t seem to really interact with the furry fandom itself, instead remaining a separate group that happens to have some overlap in population
contrast with anime, where there are fucking zillions of people who like even the most obscure things
so i think it’s that the self-identified furry fandom is a relatively small thing, and the interests are diverse enough that the only thing everyone really has in common is that they all like themselves
