Furry fandom

People Watching At Comic Con If you’ve ever been to a comic convention you might’ve accidently mistaken it to be Halloween day. The diversity of people walking in and out of those convention doors is limitless. Most people at a glance just see a bunch of random nerds in costumes. If you ever attended any comic conventions you’ll be able to pick out certain types of people like cliques in a high school. Some are harder to figure out and some standout like Chewbacca at a star trek convention. The one

As an avid television viewer, it has always been easy to connect with certain shows based on the characters. For some they become so dedicated to these characters and these shows that a fandom through mediated text is formed. Gilmore Girls, a show that ended many years ago, continues to inspire many. With its quick and witty humor it is no surprise that many personalities quickly become admirers of the show. The humor and story lines are not the main reason for the creation of such a large fan community

In the years of television/radio and now social media the following fan base can create massive outpour and backlash. There can be one or two outcomes positive or negative through the resources of publicity. This can lead to an individual becoming arrogant, self-centered, humble, or grateful. Their personal views can bring hasty decision and lack of judgement which then produces short term success. The movie A face in the crowed is a perfect example of how a character like Larry ‘Lonesome’ Rhodes

Traditionally, the topic of fans and fandom has been well researched throughout popular culture media. Various studies have been conducted to discover the relationship between constructed popular media and its impact on society and the concept of fans and fandom represent a positive relationship between the two. The positive relationship, between fans and popular culture, can be examined through the work of Bourdieu whom uncovered how culture distinctions are classed in nature in order to legitimize

Meeting Norman Reedus Meeting Norman Reedus, the actor who plays “Daryl” in the show “The Walking Dead” has always been a dream of mine ever since I first watched the pilot episode, I was ecstatic to hear that i could possibly meet him and also get his autograph during my stay in Florida. Little did I know this opportunity would change my view on celebrities and change my life. My family and I were listening to the radio on our way to Clearwater, Florida when I heard a man on the radio announce

I went to see a Kpop concert on April 1st with one of my best friends and it was an amazing experience. I chose this concert to do my report because of the language barrier, I only know a little bit of Spanish but I’m not fluent in it and I don’t know anything in Korean but for songs in those two languages, I always look up the lyrics to sing along. BTS is different than other Kpop groups because they do involve politics and self-love into their songs because they do want to alert their audience

English 101 Mr. Rintala 25 April 2017 Fandoms a Home to Many When one hears the word “fan” two mental images pop up, one being a grown man dressed up in a costume, or two a preteen young girl who has posters of Justin Bieber all over her room. However, not all fans are like, although the mass majority are neither of those two images of people. I believe that the word “fan” and “fandom” has turned into something negative. Most people believe that fandom are for those who are nerds and do not have

The subculture hat I have chosen to explore is one that I have taken part in before, cosplay! I have dressed up as Tina Belcher from Bob’s Burgers and am currently planning a Dr. Strange costume for myself. I have been to Comic Cons before usually as an admirer of those in costume. Cosplay which is short for “costume play” allows an individual to basically be someone else, typically an anime, cartoon, or even video game characters to name a few. Along with the costume they take on that character’s

Like Berri and Krautmann, I do not believe that a player shirks after signing a long-term contact, even though they receive guaranteed income and job security. One of the biggest reasons why I believe shirking does not arise is because team contracts often contain various performance dependent compensation that serves as additional income if the player meets expectations. Therefore, this additional contingent income can be seen as the opportunity cost of shirking because if a player shirks, the dip

A subculture that I belong to is a fandom that many also follow. A fandom that began in November of 1928 with the birth of a cartoon mouse and has continued to flourish with the creations of 6 theme parks worldwide. That fandom is the one that follows the Walt Disney Company and all that it makes. With every movie, television show, toy, and theatrical production they produce, the fandom grows stronger and stronger. The Disney fandom has sustained me through its positivity. It has fed my soul
