Nope ... that honor goes to Furries. Although the whole ears and tails thing does cause some overlap. |

Hey guys, I just wanted to mention that once again I'm going to be at AX this year at the ANN panel on Friday! I'm bummed that we don't have a booth this year, as in the past I've been able to hang out there and meet people. But yes.. I'll be around if you want to chat.

I'd always figured that someone thought "YAOI" looked like Greek letters for a fraternity (upsilon alpha omicron iota), and went with the idea of a fraternity paddle. Why fraternity paddles exist is a secret, not disclosed to us laymen. |

I wish I could wear cat ears, wings, etc. in public without looking like an attention starved loser, because I honestly do like those things! (not that I wear them all piled on at once, like catfox girl lol)
I have so many cute accessories I almost never get to wear because I usually have costumes for conventions. Sometimes I'll wear something to a private party of just my friends. We're all pretty nerdy, so they don't bat an eye at my oddness. I also wear my cat ears around the house sometimes just to keep my hair out of my eyes. Luckily, my husband thinks they're cute. |

I don't see why though... If you like dressing up, why shouldn't you do it when you like? |

And it can affect the people around you who you might not even know when they're trying their damnedest to prove that people who are big-time anime fans can also be normal civilians. |

4/22/09 for those that care.
I don't know, the real star of this con (introduced in the following week) makes a good run for the crown too. Well, not her specifically, but her type. Might loose the tie-breaker by looking normal on the outside though. |

OK, first... I love your profile pic; that damned Cat! Anyway... Really? Overlooking the Yiffing and such, I'd still say we (as a "community" -and honestly it's mostly the younger crowd I'm talking about here) scrape the bottom of the barrel. Think of all the things young "fans" (See: Rude and Ill-mannered Beasts/Attention Whores with no sense of decorum) of anime/manga do and then tell me you've ever heard of something like this happening at a Furry con or out in public. I sure haven't -Advantage: Furry. The other test I'd say goes like this: In public a furry looks like an out of place sports mascot, while the Cat/Fox Anime Fans and their ilk stick out like an air horn being blasted in your face -Advantage: Furry. As for the Pedo angle... Some dude in a bear suit looks just as questionable as some of the cosplayers I've seen -Tie. And ruling the roost are the gamers. Outcome: we're still bringing up the rear. |

I always think this when I see people wearing everything they just bought in the dealer room. Seriously, pick one or two things for each day and you can wear much of your new stuff over the course of the weekend. It looks better too, since it implies that some thought went into what was picked as opposed to just buying everything in sight and throwing it on. |

I saw that, and had to explain to my cousin, who was watching with me. Her face went from  when she first saw them, to  when I explained.

I can believe that. It just seems like one of those so simple, it's brilliant situations. Stick a word on there that gets a particular group all giddy and see what happens. The thing I don't get is the purpose for those that do buy them. Is swatting someone supposed to mean that you'd like to see them kiss another guy or something? |

WTF?! Hahaha, it would be hilarious, if that's the purpose to the "Yaoi" paddle, but then again I should be scared, because I am a guy. Its a really scary weapon, this is what happens when people's fantasies get out of hand, people! Next thing you know they'll pour laxative on the paddle........o_0.........not a good idea.

I think it's meant as a compliment, actually. As in, being spanked with a yaoi paddle would imply that the spankee thinks you have a nice tush. & that you should perhaps use it |
