Why is the BBC Pimping for Furry Perverts?
Last week a BBC drama portrayed 'furry' subculture as a fun way for young people to meet new friends. Shame they forgot to mention it also functions as a cover for dark and abusive sexual fetishism.

This post is a shocker. Even if I say so myself. It’s also long, for which I apologise. I hope you agree though it is a pretty definitive and detailed exposé of the furry subculture. I know it’s easy to dismiss this movement as ridiculous but I genuinely think it represents a similar onslaught on young people’s psychological sense of themselves and their physical reality as does the gender identity movement, to which the furries are increasingly allied.
So much so, some proponents argue we should think of some young people as suffering from ‘species identity disorder’. That’s just what we need!
CHRISTMAS SPECIAL OFFER
If you haven’t yet become a paid subscriber I’m trying a shameless inducement. I’m offering a special rate for those who take out an annual subscription during the month of December, up to Christmas Day. It’ll be £30 and not the usual £50. Please consider taking a paid subscription out. Or convince a friend to do it.
Paid subscriptions allow me to devote the time to get under the surface of subjects like the furries …and more besides. And given some of the disgusting things I’ve had to read or watch, I may need therapy. Or some sort of high-tech memory-wipe.
I’ve tried to lighten the tone of this post where I could. It’s such an uncomfortable and disturbing subject it helped me get through it. Suffice to say, I’m far from thinking it’s comical.
Fasten your seatbelts.

For a long time I ignored the furries, the much-mocked subculture of people who identify with animal alter-egos and dress up in cartoonesque versions of them. They seemed so silly I couldn’t take them seriously.
That changed when they turned up earlier this year to support the LGBTQ+ protest against a Let Women Speak rally in Glasgow. I became intrigued and after a few days research realised there was a story here.
After the BBC series ‘Doctors’ included a scene last week in which a young man’s family is encouraged to applaud his involvement in the furry world I decided it was time to dive deeper. Sometimes I wished I hadn’t. After a week of intense research I think I’ve finally cracked what this strange movement is hiding. And it isn’t pretty.
This then is a story of online depravity, a highly organised global cover-up, a culture of omerta and a movement that has lost the capacity to recognise fundamental moral boundaries. It’s also a story that raises serious questions about a national broadcaster that chose to put young people at risk by promoting a subculture that tolerates breathtaking levels of perversity.
To start, I’m going to pose a question that will likely put you off your dinner. Who buys sex toys that are anatomically correct replicas of a dog’s penis? A few days ago I stumbled upon websites that advertise this abomination. The “toys” on sale also include replicas of a pig’s penis and a bear’s. As well as that of a horse.
I think you’ll have guessed where I’m heading.
I’ve edited a screengrab from one of those sites to remove the offending item since it’s one of the most disgusting things I’ve seen online. And I’m known to check India Willoughby’s timeline.
What has this to do with the furries? Many of these sites specifically market themselves to the furry community.
