QUITTING THE FANDOM & THE RED PILL | MIDWEST FUR FEST 2024 THOUGHTS

[Georgio] Ayo, what up, it's Georgio.

I fucked your bitch in a Buick Encore.

I'm here at MFF ready to fuck some shit
up, y'all.

[Newscaster] This is pornography, it's
cartoons, it's aimed at children

and it's wrong.

[Asmongold] Every single one of the kids
that's doing this was groomed by an adult

to do this on the internet.

[Announcer voice] Select mode!

[Georgio] Happy New Year, the fuck is
happy about this

new year?

Listen bitches, it's Georgio. The homo-
sexual furry niche internet

microcelebrity.

Usually around this time of year I treat
all 3,000 of my subscribers to a video of

all the fun stuff I did at the Midwest
Furfest furry convention.

But I've been lacking motivation and
feeling a slight desire to give a smooch

to a speeding car.

[Meme audio, child] Mommy, mama, a
girl behind-

[Crash earrape]

So I've been away and I've been feeling
like shit for a few different reasons. One

is a bunch of bad shit that happened in my
personal life.

Two, is that thing that happened two
months ago. That one. The "Republicans run

the country now" one. And two segues me
into three, which is that now that

Republicans have claimed sweeping victory
over "woke libtards" like myself, I

thought about quitting the whole furry
YouTube thing. I kind of fucking hate

being here now.

[Man] I HATE BEING A

[Dubstep music]

Let me explain. I spent the past two and
a half years on this website documenting

my experiences in the furry community

and also making fun of Republicans for
feeling way too threatened by the furry

community and the LGBT people who largely
occupy it.

Because I think they're pretty harmless,
even if like me they're strange.

But now that Republicans won not just the
Congress, the Senate, and the presidency,

but also for the first time since 2004,
the popular vote, lots of Republicans are

saying

[Piers Morgan] So you want to admit you
were completely and hopelessly

wrong about this?

I spent every weekend of my summer and
fall knocking on doors for Kamala Harris

not because I'm president of her fan club
but because I felt like the other

candidate and his friendly gaggle of
congressmen, senators, pundits and

influencers wanted to restrict the rights
of people like myself.

[Charlie Kirk] It's in Leviticus 18, is
that "thou shalt lay with another man,

shall be stoned to death."

[Nikki Haley] I actually said his "Don't
say gay" bill didn't go far enough.

[Mark Robinson] Transgenderism,
homosexuality, any of that filth, and yes,

I called it filth!

[Dana Loesch] You know, sometimes
bullying is not a bad thing.

[Pete Buttigieg] There's also more
personal rights. My right to have this

ring on my finger, that I feel are much
more secure if she's in charge, than if

he's in charge.

[Woman] And the evidence
you have of Donald Trump being against gay

marriage or wanting to roll back
protections for gay folks to be married is

what, exactly?

[Buttigieg] The evidence is that he ran
for president with a platform that

specifically said in black and white that
they were against marriage equality.

[Georgio] So when I campaigned every
weekend I urged people to vote for my

freedoms as a gay man, and the freedoms of
people like me, and we fucking lost.

And the Democrats' sweeping defeat got me
wondering: did the Republicans have a

point this whole time? Was the past two
and a half years of my life a waste?

Is the furry community something that I
should actually be a part of? Maybe I

should be embarrassed of the fact that I'm
here. Maybe we as a community are wrong.

So I'm going to examine all of the points
that the GOP successfully made about

people like us over the past election
cycle and I'm gonna tell you why I

considered leaving the furry community.

[Georgio] Ah, it is a beautiful, chilly
day in Rosemont, Illinois.

[Asmongold] I view this in like the same
way, as like a person wearing like BSDM

gear to like a public event.

[Megyn Kelly] It has heavy sexual
overtones, it has a heavy sexual bent.

[Georgio] Hear me out.

Come on.

Come on.

Now listen, when I go to furry
conventions, I look at it as good clean

fun.

[Jesse Watters] They like to go to
conventions, kind of like a Comicon except

everyone's dressed up like the Philly
Fanatic.

[Georgio] I used to work for the Guinness
book of world records, they'd fire me for

trying to put you in for thiccest thighs.

[Fursuiter] You right about that one.

We're all walking around in costumes,
playing video games, going to panels and

saying hi to one another. Oh shit! We got
spins! [laugh]

But that is not what Republicans see.
Republicans are very focused on furries'

sex lives. And usually I find that weird.

[Megyn Kelly] It has heavy sexual
overtones, it has a heavy sexual bent in

its history.

[Georgio] If most everything that happens
in the convention space is family-

friendly, why do you give a shit what I
and other adults do in the hotel rooms

after the convention? But you see to many
Republicans, there is no casual family-

friendly aspect to this.

[Asmongold] This is my opinion, I think
being a furry is a sexual fetish.

[Georgio] Many Republicans see this as a
fetish and nothing more and sometimes I

feel like they might have a point.

So here's the thing about my YouTube page,
is that it's actually totally fucking

boring and nobody watches it unless I show
somebody, a big man with big muscles.

May I give the people some fan service and
touch your boobies?

[Caine Nines] Yeah, go ahead.

Ah, sweet. There you go folks. This is
what you came for.

Thank you so much, Canine Nines [sic].
Take care, man.

When I talk about politics or something
that I care about, nobody fucking watches

but when I talk about sex or put soft-core
pornography in my thumbnail, you people

click on it. Two of the best performing
videos on my YouTube page are the ones

with Fluke's ass and Kyle the Tiger's tits
in my thumbnails. And that got me

wondering, maybe we all do really only
care about sex. Maybe this is just a giant

fetish disguised as a hobby like
Republicans claim it is. So I looked up

the content that my analogues have posted.
Kyle gets thousands of likes on his tweets

until he stops posting nudes and starts
wishing his boyfriend a happy birthday.

Then y'all tune the fuck out.

Don't even get me started on Manny's ASMR
channel and the number of foot licking,

ball sniffing, boyfriend kissing videos
that he's made to keep you fucking weirdos

satiated, and all of the normal videos
that by comparison you people didn't give

a shit about.

And what about Soren? Well, nobody's
fucking watching him. Sorry to throw you

under the bus there buddy but hey, maybe
if you follow my lead and put some porn in

your thumbnail, you'll get some more
views. And take it from me and everybody

else in the community, it works
unfortunately.

Maybe we should feel bad, not for the fact
that all of us including me can't seem to

muster up content that isn't pornographic
clickbait, but for blatantly objectifying

one another.

I'm even responsible for it. I spent 4
whole days at Midwest Furfest and half of

the footage I have on my dumbass fucking
cellphone is me going up to fursuiters and

asking to touch their tits, muscles or
bellies.

Ayo, look who the fuck we found! It's Hugs
and Snugs. Yo, sir, sir.

[Snugs] Yes.

[Georgio] Can I have a hug and a snug?

[Snugs] Of course!

Alright, audience, into the titties we go.

[Piano music]

[Lagovirt] There are countless minors
using this site to watch whatever videos

they please.

[Asmongold] I view this in the same way as
like a person wearing like BDSM gear to

like a public event.

[Lagovirt] One thing age restriction can't
keep under wraps is the video's thumbnail.

[Asmongold] You know, you have kids that
look into this and they think it's cute or

funny and there's a word for that, it
rhymes with "rooming". Oh man, what could

it possibly be?

[Georgio] Now it's one thing for our
community to just be a cesspool of porno-

graphic clickbait videos and images, but
it's another for that kind of content to

be made publicly available to anybody on
the internet.

Recently I received a number of comments
like these and immediately I was reminded

of all the weird kinky shit that I saw on
YouTube when my parents would let me

borrow their work laptops.

When I was 6 years old, I would go on
YouTube looking for videos about the next

Mario Kart game and then somehow I would
stumble upon foot fetish videos, fat guys

playing with their bellies, and Birdo
eating Yoshi.

Republicans are correct when they observe
the stuff that happens in our community

and our conventions and describe them as
weird.

Do you think I ever wanted to be into any
of this weird fucking shit?

[Bo Burnham] I don't know about you guys,
but um, I've been thinking recently that

you know, maybe allowing giant digital
media corporations to exploit the

neurochemical drama of our children for
profit

[Earrape bass]

[Burnham] You know, maybe that was, uh, a
bad call.

[Georgio] Hey Wiggleon, can I touch your
belly? Yaaay! Yay!

[Tires screech]

[DnB music plays]

[Georgio] There is not a doubt in my mind
that things would've turned out

differently for me if I never saw this.
And if me seeing softcore pornography at

a young age was enough to fuck up my brain
chemistry and land me here, then why on

earth do I and people like me think it's
okay to upload stuff like this to the

internet when we know that there are kids
on iPads on the other side of the screen?

I never wanted to end up like this. Maybe
those people who put their fetish content

on the internet should've thought before
they clicked upload all the way back in

2007.

Won't we feel weird or guilty when we're
in our 40s and the next generation of 20

year old furry YouTubers say that they
used to watch our content?

I already feel fucking weird about it

Come on man, this is the issue that the
right is like crusading on?

"Gotta crack down on these evil furries,
bro!"

Go give people healthcare.

Call it what it is, it's hatred. This is a
movement based on hatred.

There are days including the days that I
spent at Midwest Furfest where I can't

help but feel embarrassed to be here
anymore because I know that even if I want

to see the good in this community, plenty
of people on the outside, perhaps a

majority as evidenced by the last
election, see us as sex-obsessed

freakshows and fetishists with no regard
for public decency and no capacity for

self-censorship.

[Georgio] And so just as a head's up to my
viewers, we're going to go into the adult

annex and there is a sex game where you
put on a virtual reality headset and then

you have e-sex with digital characters. So
that's what I'm going for.

["Whenever you want it" plays]

And yet none of that is the reason I
considered quitting.

Because here's the thing, every bit of
fearmongering and criticism that the

Republicans have for LGBT people and
furries over the past couple of years is

something that has an obvious solution and
something that they have been equally

guilty of.

"You people are too sexual!" cries Megyn
Kelly on SiriusXM radio.

Well, sure we are. I'll be the first to
admit it.

[Georgio] Alright, get a load of this.
Ready?

[Squeak] [Squeak]

[Squeaky] [Squeaky]

[Georgio] Big fucking moves over here.

Cunt for breakfast. Cunt for lunch. Cunt
for dinner.

[Georgio] And if you have a problem with
that don't fucking go to a furry

convention. Don't look at my content. Let
me look at Kyle's man titties and Manny's

paws in peace. Cunt.

And while we're at it why don't we talk
about some of the comments made by our

very family-friendly president-elect?

[Trump] You can do anything.

[Bush] Whatever you want.

[Trump] Grab 'em by the [bleep].

I've said if Ivanka weren't my daughter
perhaps I'd be dating her.

[Ivanka] Stop it.

[Georgio] Apparently there is nothing
overly sexual about that.

"What if kids see you on the internet?"
says Asmongold. "Isn't that the same as

grooming? Aren't you introducing them to a
fetish? Shouldn't you stay out of the

public sphere?" Well gee whiz, after the
runner-ups for the Republican presidential

nomination spent so much time about the
negative effects of social media and

banning TikTok, I would think you would
know not to give kids unsupervised access

to social media since it's so harmful,
wouldn't you?

And sorry to throw you under the bus, mom
and dad, but maybe it was a bad idea to

give me the password to your work
computers. And while we're on the topic of

grooming, do we want to talk about how
Jeffrey Epstein, the guy charged with

running a sex ring of teenage girls
described himself as your president's

closest friend? Or do we want to talk
about how your guy nominated Matt Gaetz

for attorney general - the same Matt Gaetz
who has a house ethics report detailing

how he paid a teenage girl for sex?

Now I didn't think of quitting because of
anything these dick riders say. The actual

reason that I considered quitting is
because this community is so valuable that

I frankly don't think I deserve to be
here.

["XXL Freshman Cypher" plays]

[Young Georgio] Hi skinnies, how are you?
Welcome back to this extreme channel

surfing thing. I'm going to do something
different because OBS doesn't really like

my computer anymore.

[Ambient music]

[Georgio] When I was in high school it
took one year of me hearing the word

"faggot" for me to feel terrified of being
of being openly gay, date a girl as a

cover up, and pretend to be a typical
homophobic straight guy teenager to avoid

getting bullied. When my peers made fun of
the one openly gay kid in my Spanish

class, when they bullied kids with autism,
when they made sexist and racist comments,

when they shared pictures wearing a tail
with their friends and referred to them as

a "dog fucker", I either turned a blind
eye to it or I joined in.

And I can't help but see a lot of that
behavior reflected in the GOP's political

discourse.

I chose to fit in with hateful people like
the ones that now run our country, and

even back then the people I was friends
with came from households that supported

Donald Trump for the 2016 Republican
primary.
