AntiSocial

Peace talks for the culture wars.In an era of polarisation, propaganda and pile-ons, AntiSocial offers an alternative: understanding, facts, and respect. Each week, Adam Fleming takes on a topic that's generating conflict on social media, blogs, talk shows and phone-ins and helps you work out what the arguments are really about.

    The Therian and furry episode
    No. Someone identifying as a animal *therian, which I am* is NOT a furry and furry is not a adult term, it is a community of creative people expressing their love of making characters into this fantasy world of furrys. As a Therian, I believe I was an animal in my past life and that my soul remains an animal, that’s ALL THERIANS ARE DUDE, I express it through quads and gear and stuff. I did not fully read through the script for that episode I read most of it though and the vibe I got was not great but idk, Inform me if I am incorrect. Btw your definition of a furry in the furry episode IS UTERLY INCORRECT AND SAD
