holy crap new meme, what's this one called? It's hilarious.

Furry has become a very tainted word to the mainstream, so people want to distance themselves from it by sub-categorizing it.
Edit:
Holy karp where are her eyes?
But you're also talking about kemono, or the Japanese furry scene. I don't think they'd care.
Costuming as a character based on an existing IP, plus I have no desire to step into that fandom, nor do I have any interest to actually be an animal (I think they call that fursona or something?).
I'm pretty much a cosplay professional. I have costumes for Ghostbusters/with all the gear and even the Ecto vehicle, Marty McFly, the 2 different suits for the 10th Doctor, 11th Doctor, Dr. Horrible, and I'm currently working on an Inspector Gadget costume, as well as a Wreck-it Ralph costume.
I only costume as characters I am a fan of though

Plenty of furries fur suit as characters from existing IP. Sounds to me like you just have misconceptions and negative views toward furries. They like dressing up and having fun in a costume just as much as you do.
Nope, I'm personally okay with furries, and have quite a few friends that I help work with them on various projects if they need help with their stuff. I just am not part of the fandom is all.

^That Canterlot Castle model is just superb. Makes me hope we'll see something like that for PonyKart eventually.

It's the perfect combination of cute and macabre with a light dash of Cupcakes. I giggled like a little schoolgirl for a minute straight.
I find it so strange to actually witness the ignorance of the masses evolve and take shape, and to watch the reaction to it. That I myself end up reacting to it, it's so...odd. Fascinating really.

So I just realized another reason why I didn't like the Babs Seed episode. Spoilers, just because.
Also, Cindy Morrow has said that Babs will be back sooner or later, because she's "adorable". Just wow. This episode had a ton of adorableness, but IMO none of it was Babs.
Cindy also said (in response to an apparently deleted tweet) "maybe the CMCs are just more understanding than you".
At the start of the episode, Babs didn't even seem to like the CMC. She was reacting badly to all of the CMC's efforts to try and become friends. They showed her their float, which they worked hard on, and Babs seemed reluctant to tell them what she really thought of it.
Then Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon show up and insult the CMC. They don't like the CMC, and they say mean things, but they're not exactly bullying. They insult Babs. Applebloom defends her. Again, this isn't bullying, not since Applebloom picked up the support of Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. It's more like a back-and-forth.
But then Babs decides to wreck the CMC's hard work, and threatens them with physical violence. Babs chases after the CMC wherever they go and constantly makes them miserable for her own personal gain, and to try and impress DT and SS. That's real bullying. DT and SS follow Babs, but they're not actively participating, they're just watching and laughing. Maybe they're encouraging Babs' bad behavior, but that's different from participating, or initiating.
So the CMC decide to humiliate Babs by pushing her into mud that pigs wallow in. Pigs aren't dirty animals, BTW. They wallow in mud to clean themselves and to cool down, and they prefer clean mud. They only become "filthy animals" when they're denied clean mud. Anyways, the CMC intend to stand up for themselves and push Babs in there. It's an appropriate response, considering that Babs threw ice cream and tomatoes at them.
But then the CMC learn that Babs was a victim herself once. So they save her and become the victims of their own attack. And they apologize to Babs for even thinking of pushing her into the mud. Because that's such a horrible thing to do to somepony. If you attack someone even once, that automatically makes you a bully, so you should never fight back when attacked. So Babs becomes their friend.
Then Babs is leaving town. SS and DT arrive. "So you're leaving, huh?" "Great, now we're stuck here with these lame blank flanks." DT and SS didn't see the crash. Babs didn't tell them she was leaving town. They found out on their own and came to say goodbye to Babs, in their own jerk-way.
But Babs doesn't like the use of the word "lame" to describe ponies who she apparently thought were lame. Either that or she thinks "blank flanks" is a slur, and that bothers her because she is one. Either way, it's not even remotely out of line with Babs' previous behavior. So Babs becomes immediately hostile, and physically confronts Diamond Tiara about it. DT doesn't back down from a physical threat. DT is ready to defend herself. Oh, but Babs has learned from this episode. She's going to tell DT's mommy that DT called someone a blank flank. After terrorizing others for an entire episode. Yay morals.
But then, having solved things in the made-for-TV way, Babs lunges towards DT and SS. They both flinch and fall backwards. Into... mud that pigs were wallowing in. Really? That's just ridiculous. After all this episode's nonsense about how Babs isn't a bully anymore, she pulls a "fake punch" psyche out against someone weaker, AND she pushes two non-bullies (although jerks and enablers of bullying) into the pig-mud, an attack that the CMC considered to be despicable. And Applejack and the CMC all laugh at it, just like SS and DT laughed at what Babs did to the CMC.
Also, Applejack claimed (after the CMC pushed themselves into the mud) that she could have solved this whole bullying situation if only she had known what was going on (silly CMC, trying to take care of problems for themselves after being threatened with physical retribution if they dared to involve an adult). But then DT and SS arrived and started using their words against the CMC, in full view of Applejack, and Applejack does nothing. Babs and DT go nose-to-nose with the threat of violence, and Applejack does nothing. Babs pushes DT into the pig-mud, and Applejack laughs. How exactly is Applejack supposed to solve the problem of bullying?

Pretty good rundown on Kotaku : The Herd Outsiders Guide to the Brony Phenomenon
Something I've been wondering about for a while: How does Fluttershy make a living?
Twilight probably gets a stipend, and maybe draws a salary as a librarian too. Applejack and Rarity own and operate their own businesses. Pinkie works at a confectionary. RD works for the weather control...department? Probably an agency of the Equestrian government.
But who pays Fluttershy to do what she does? Wild animals don't have money. We've seen her match up owners with pets before, but I can't really imagine her accepting money for that.
After some consideration, I've decided that the most likely answer is that the town government probably pays her. Managing nature in general is something that's left up to ponies, and Fluttershy provides a valuable public service by taking care of most of that stuff by herself.

You just don't see it do you? Let me explain...
Fluttershy gets her money via care and training of animals (like Rarity's tuck up cat... Opal, or whatever it's name is), from dealing with bears or wild animals that may come into town (like the Cerebus), and POSSIBLY from Angel, who goes out at night to steal loose bits. I also believe 'Shy has an even wider network of other animals 'on the take' providing bit for food or whatever. Still she lives well enough hiding away, doing nothing, and having Rarity subsidize her spa treatments... for gossip purposes and to spread her racist rants (probably)
Favors for favors, it's the way of Ponyville!
Also, it is funny no one asks about Spike, and how he gets bits for himself. Yes, I know Rarity pays him in 'extra' gems (one out of what... two hundred? BULL!) but at least she pays him. No one else, and I'll include Twilight in this mix, does pay him jack. Wait! you say: "Pinkie gave him those Baked bads?" NO! SHE THREW THEM OUT! HE HAD TO FISH THEM OUT HIMSELF! Despicable!
Yes, I am ranting. Ponyville is a messed up place. I simply am pointing it out. ;p
when did you start watching/reading?

Remember the ecology is completely dependent on the ponies for maintenance. She's probably on the government's payroll for helping to keep it running, in some kind of ecological department analogous to the weather department Dash works in.

Rainbow probably got her the job as she was to shy to look for a job herself.
A little over a month ago. I started reading from the beginning and then watching the anime up to the point where I left off on the manga. I haven't gotten too far though. I'm only on volume 9. I'm loving it so far.

That's actually a very well done article I think the only real mistake is mentioning that female fans call themselves Pegasisters which isn't actually quite correct as Bronies have become a gender neutral term.
While there are plenty of people in the comments I can salute and respect for their indifference or dislike for the show. The people who go out of their way to discredit it are mind boggling and frankly, disapointing.
It honestly reminds me of those crazy conservatives who will generalize gay marriage supporters as lowly heathens who are going to Hell yadda yaddda. They are so stuck in this backward way of thinking that they really feel the whole world is falling apart.
And also the damn hypocrisy for image macros avatars as this supposed "Jehova's Witness of fandoms". People make it sound like we're posting Furry porn. But seriously how is it ANY different then someone posting a Batman Macro/Avatar, A Doctor Who Macro/Avatar or some random Anime Macro/Avatar. Pony avatar? "OMG YOU GUYS ARE PUSHING YOUR FANDOM ON ME! STOP LETTING ME KNOW YOU LIKE IT" Pony macro or gif? "OMG YOUR CLUTTERING THIS THREAD WITH THIS OFF TOPIC SHIT! GET THAT FILTH OUT OF HERE!" The double standards drive me bonkers it does.
And sorry I probably would post in the comments over there, but I don't have a Kotaku account and I just had to get that off my chest.
Here, have art:
It's the most infantile shit ever, and it honestly gets me upset when I see it.
They 'doth indeed protest too much', and you're right, they do remind me of Conservatives. Prone to criticism but they are generally blind to their own offenses. Like let some stupid bro-approved meme take off. You'll see macros all over until the meme is a zombie and somebody's mother is telling people it's uncool to use. But let them see a pony in a macro and you're accused of trying to take over the entire thread and evangelize ponies.
It's a losing battle, so they double down. Once they would have tried to turn a thread or board against ponyfans and gang up on them. Now they play the victim. We're shoving Ponies down their throats. They refuse to lose and they refuse to learn.
so..this Babs girlie...is she a pone with "attitude"? A creation of the writers, or of Hasbro. I can only wonder.

Getglue.com is the main site.
This site does free stickers. They started doing pony stickers. I just got a Trixie sticker. Its legit ive been using the site for months and have gotten stickers. It takes awhile to be shipped to you though. You have to unlock 20 before you can send for them.

The fucking mlp ios game is shit.
I have like 10000000 Applejack shards. How the fuck do I get the other element shards? Also the price for items and ponies is crazy high. If you don't have irl money this game is pointless. It makes you buy all this other stupid shit so your constantly broke when u need to get important things. I gave this game a good rating when i was just begining to play and now I wish i diddnt.
Do not play this game.
Fuck u Gameloft.

Different shops are more likely to give certain types of shards, but there's no real logic to it, just trial and error.
Lame.
Also I think the game is gonna make me buy every single pony. Applebloom u have to use Hearts on but no one I know plays this game. This game is hard cuz errthing is so expensive and earning coins is very difficult. Every thing u do cost coins. Also having to use the hard to find element shards to feed the parasprites is bs. I already fucking paid for the land and now I gotta pay again. Bottom line is that this game is designed to drain ur wallet and that's it. Its mostly just coin harvesting and 2 minigames so it gets very boring as well. The game is 90% padding and mindless stat grinding so just stay away from it.
