- If furries are complicity in global capital, then what good are they?
- What do they offer that points in the direction of some sort of
- transformative change in the ways power is distributed between people?
- Perhaps furry identity practice can offer some sort of play with the way
- that subjects must consume the appropriate goods in order to demonstrate
- group membership. If man ``throughout the history of metaphysics or
- ontotheology... has dreamed of full presence, the reassuring origin,
- and the end of play'' and the alternate interpretation of interpretation
- ``affirms play and tries to pass beyond man and humanism,'' (292) as
- Derrida suggests, what better way to try to slide out from underneath
- structure than playing animal? No single playful move, no matter how
- theoretically brilliant or how covered in fake fur, can work its way
- out of capitalism in a single step. Even if furries were trying to work
- out a new organization of power in the process of self-animalization,
- it would not be possible to build a new system that did not contain the
- older system within itself.
- Importantly, furries as a class are {\it not} trying to dismantle
- capitalism. That furry practices offer a challenge at all is because
- the structure does not provide room for them, and must either change
- its shape to accommodate them or find furries turning on it.
