A Queerer Furry History
Friday July 4, 2025 10:30am - 12:30pm EDT
You are already aware of the history of the furry fandom, but when, how and why did furries get to be SO QUEER? In this talk, Arrkay from the award winning video series "Culturally F'd" takes a second look into the queer origins of the furry fandom. Our journey takes us through homophobia fueled flame wars, a convention described as a "pride parade on acid", all the way to litterboxes in classrooms. Together we'll peer into the past of queer and trans furry artists, marches, frolics and raves, and even some pre-fandom stuff just for fun.

Inanimate Transformation: A History and Look at Statues, Pool Toys, Plushies, and More
Friday July 4, 2025 9:00pm - 10:00pm EDT
Plushies, pool toys, piñatas, statues, flatten beings, living fursuits, have all been growing in popularity within the furry fandom in the last few years, bringing more interest to inanimate transformation. What is the psychological draw to such transformation and can we trace the history of such shapeshifting in myth and folklore to the Golden Age of Science Fiction and Silver Age of Comics to the cartoons of the 80s and kid commercials of the 90s to the modern day.
