Cid

I'm Cid! Just a gamer, artist, vtuber, cat 😺 ThatCatCid on Twitch and Youtube!

[Cid @ThatCatCid]

WELL now that I'm super famous with 500 followers! It's time to reintroduce myself!

Howdy! My name is Cid, I'm a perfectly normal furry artist/streamer. Very handsome, very single, very American 🇺🇸🦅🍔, very mid-late 30's, very cat! One or more of those things may be lies!

I shower semi-regularly! I have allergies but the good cute sneezy kind, not the inflate, choke and die kind... Lets see... OH! I like, horror art and video games! I stream on Twitch (ThatCatCid)!

[Lorepaw @LorepawYT]

so there will be stickers and a small acrylic standee (the flipping the bird one) for everybody who ordered a plush. here are the friggin designs.

if it gets 200 sales there will also be a big ol' standee, probably a fully detailed hanner.

thank you for making hannah real. 🥹

@PAAWSTAR We must be in different fandoms lol.

[Cid @ThatCatCid]

@ChristinaTasty A man of high character. I hope more creators look to Gabe as a rolemodel for how to be if they ever "make it big".

I also hope that he has a succession plan lined up for when he eventually retires. Valve may be the last hope for gamers against censorship and mediocrity.

[Cid @ThatCatCid]

@nifaumo Always check the "about this account" tab. Most of these people are from Africa or India and are most likely just bots or engagement farms.

[Cid @ThatCatCid]

@PAAWSTAR BUT BUT BUT don't you get it? If you follow someone it means you agree with EVERYTHING they say, have said, or will ever say. Haven't you learned to be more judgmental on the internet yet? You're doing the internet wrong!

[Cid @ThatCatCid]

@Ztn138 Huh, no idea why twitter was hiding this reply from my feed.

But yeah this is a very valid point.

[Cid @ThatCatCid]

If he wasn't wearing the suit (which I'm assuming was a term that Michael Knowles required for the interview for it to be seen as more sensational), this conversation sounds completely reasonable and honestly a bit boring (in a good way). Furries are for the most part just normal people with a weird hobby.

Hell 90% of furries don't suit or even want to. Hopefully more conservative folks will see this and be a bit more open minded as to what the furry fandom actually is. BUT this is just a small clip. I haven't seen the full interview so I hope he didn't completely blow it. BUT if this is the kinda thing they think is clip-worthy then I can assume the rest of this interview to be pretty chill and non-hostile.

Notice the title isn't "Michael Knowles DESTROYS furry" or "Furry Lib Leftist EPIC FAIL" style of clickbait. The cynic in me was thinking that's what Knowles and his team were hoping for, but instead got a relatively normal guy to talk to.

Still would be nice to have done the interview out of the fursuit though. Suiting to me is more like a performance for a specific event like a con or photoshoot/meetup. Definitely not suitable for a conversation when you cant show proper eye contact and body language.

[The Michael Knowles Show @MKnowlesShow]

What makes a furry?

Today on Michael &, @michaeljknowles sits down with Nathan, and asks him about his introduction to the furry fandom:

[Cid @ThatCatCid]

I actually do appreciate that they set his mic up properly!

I can understand wanting to be anonymous too. There are furries out there who would actually physically harm this guy for even talking to someone like Knowles. Or at the very least destroy his reputation. Still I think the fursuit itself is extremely awkward to have on in a conversation for everyone involved.

[Cid @ThatCatCid]

Furries in America have been an easy punching bag for sensationalist journalists for a long time. Interviewing the weird guy in a fursuit is usually a way to farm content and engagement by making fun of people who are different. Knowles is a well known conservative content creator who tends to do this a lot, and I would assume that this entire interview was a set-up to farm clips of another "weird furry" but turned into an actual normal conversation.

[Cid @ThatCatCid]

Speak for yourself, most furries have absolutely no interest in the fursuit side of things. Most furries don't draw, go to cons, or participate directly in the fandom. most furries passively enjoy the fandom just like every other fandom in existence. And if you're not noticing them then that's kind of what they want.

Most anime fans don't cosplay or want to, most sports fans don't dress up or put on facepaint etc.

People enjoy their fandoms in different and sometimes subtle ways. You probably meet furries every day like this and have no idea because they're generally introverted.

Also chronically online? The furry fandom IS an online fandom so I don't really understand the point you're trying to make here.

[Cid @ThatCatCid]

Not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying "journalists" only want to interview furries in suits because their goal is to make you look dumb, weird, or unrelatable to the normies.

Of course they want to farm engagement, at the expense of your dignity and not based on what you have to say.

[Cid @ThatCatCid]

@Ztn138 I guess. but like in the Furry fandom, people recognize your sona more than your real face lol. But yeah I could see how he might be a target now just for talking to a guy like Knowles.

[Cid @ThatCatCid]

@LorepawYT Only for normie stuff like sportball and kardashians or whatever.

I think you're cool.

[Cid @ThatCatCid]

@Spoonchomper Tower of Babel anyone?

[EL-K🇺🇸 @EL_K_8187]

[Cid @ThatCatCid]

@PAAWSTAR @TerminalLance I can't wait to see the HBO docudrama special about that.

[Cid @ThatCatCid]

@MetricCaboose @capybaroness 100% agree. The biggest problem with open source horror right here is that every 13 year old with a DeviantArt account can make a "canon level". Oh this level is a hotel run by a friendly moth! And this one is a pool filled with fat furry pool toys!

SCP has the same problem.

[Cid @ThatCatCid]

@LorepawYT My headcanon is she sounds like Jerri Blank from Strangers With Candy.
