I adore The Neverending Story far beyond reason. Atreyu was one of my first crushes (along with Disney's Robin Hood--yes, the fox).
Heh. You do know that the Disney version of
Robin Hood
is one of the most important reference sources among the furries, right?
My blood runs cold; my memories have just been sold.
How are you defining "reference source," Hec? For costuming, or furrier things?
There's a moment in a recent X-Men comic where
Rachel and Kurt kiss and she marvels (no pun intended) over his smooth fur.
That sort of thing generates the ... interesting thoughts.

I just remember it being cited in an article among furries as a turning point for a number of them. It was the catalyst to bring forth their latency. Sort of like the inflationists who first saw Violet blow up into a blueberry in
Willy Wonka
or ballet dancers who saw
The Red Shoes.
Also, yes, identifying with or desiring the characters, modeling costumes after the movie.

There's something similar in an "X-Men" a few years back, when Trish Tilby breaks up with Hank McCoy because of the press calling their relationship beastiality. While I'm all for comics being more mature in what they'll talk about, they're getting potentially squicky more often too.
Inflationists, you say?
Hmmm.

Dude, every time I watched Odo kiss Kira, my mind went places they didn't need to go. Much like the idea of Mystique/Destiny -- sex between a shapeshifter and someone who knows the future. Interesting.
Furries? Inflationists?! Are these kinky subcultures of which I'm unaware?
I'm kind of surprised you don't know what furries are, actually, and I'm not sure if I have any basis for that surprise.

What Dana said.
I thought for sure Jon would be familiar with the Geek Hierarchy.

Yes. You should be aware of furries. Just because. Inflationists I think Hec made up.
