Furries In Bizarre Magazine

[lupestripe]

I am a regular subscriber to Bizarre and I've noticed that in the recent issue (May 2008) they say that in the next issue there will be Furries. Does anyone know anything about this?

I went out at lunchtime to see if I could find a copy of Biazzre and yeah it was the same one I remember from a few years back, and its shelved next to "Skin Two" a magazine that covers fetishes, which is rather worrying.

I am not really sure of this, not really because of the person that was researching the item, but really where it’s appearing.

It is a magazine that deals with fetishes yes. But also subcultures and anything else away from the mainstream. If they just went to the meet then I doubt they will report on the fetish aspect of it. The thing is, for a lot of furs, it is a sexual fetish.

It will be interesting to see how the fandom is portrayed by the magazine.

It is but I don't really see there being much of an issue. People who read Bizarre are broad-minded enough not to care even if they do focus on the fetish aspect of it. The anti-furs are hardly going to read a magazine like Bizarre, neither are the bigots etc. So in that respect, whichever way it is portrayed is not a big deal to me.
