Honestly with this show's track record, when he got to the end proposing someone build new-less racist guide stones, I was surprised John hadn't already commissioned them
Haha have a big reveal at the end, totally. What's really shocking is they found out recently Georgia is actually predominantly a blue state, but because of shady districts, severely limited polling places that ends up with super long lines, and it's a felony to provide water or food while they wait, it's like the epitome of a minority of far right hicks twisting things to get a vote The anti trans panic and furry fear crap that isn't even related to kids they invent out of nowhere is so insane haha, invent imaginary fears and rabid evangelical crazy crap while denying serious issues like climate change to drum up support..these people would be out of touch in the 1800s
I *TRULY* respect the fact that they couldve titled this 'Satanic Cabal Stones' and lured everyone in but instead they sold us on 'rocks' and rewarded us with something far more entertaining - bravo...
In my defense, only John Oliver could get my attention with a title like "rocks". You know the man is always going some interestingly hilarious place, so you pay attention.
I saw the word ‘rocks’ and I thought the punchline was going to be not talking about rocks for 17 minutes and them claiming at the end that she is ‘dumber than a bag of rocks.’ All that setup just to fuck with us.
Honestly I’m a little disappointed that this didn’t end with John announcing that he had built his own Georgia Guidestones with “The Furry Days Are Over When I’m Governor” on them. He kind of let us down on this one
I personally wanted to know what John thinks of igneous rocks. I think they hog the spotlight, ever the primadonna of geology. Metamorphic doesn't get enough love.
Kandiss Taylor is an example of how it has become nearly impossible to tell if something is parody these days. I was so sure she was a fiction created by The Onion the first time I saw her.
I really hope she's talking from some Conservative Xtian script. If she really thinks the government should be guided by religion she needs to run for office in Iran.
Parody? YOU WISH! Simple test: if a candidate - ANY candidate - is as ugly on the inside as they are on the outside, they real...... (caveat: if they're Reptilian, they ugly on the inside anyway but tend to whisper their campaign message VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY LOUDLY.......). "THE BEAST IS YET TO COME (my invoice is in the mail)".....
The best part is, you just KNOW that's not the only picture of that character out there. Not because he commissioned more than one, but because there is going to be *a lot* of fanart of John Otterver.
I love how the main recurring theme in these web exclusives is John basically telling us, his viewers, that “I’m trolling you,” “I’m going to explicitly and repeatedly tell you that I’m trolling you,” and “I’m going to continuously insult you for subjecting yourself to my trolling.” He is truly the master of his craft.❤😂
Republicans: learn about furries ten years later than literally anyone on Tumblr Also Republicans: fail to appreciate that furries have had exactly zero effect on their lives in the time they didn’t know about them Conclusion: Republicans lack object permanence, and the only furry-adjacent being who can teach them this lesson is the Kool-Aid Man. (Drinksona.)
My younger brother is a furry. Walking into his room the morning after I saw this and yelled, "The Furry days are over when I am governor" was the funniest shit I could've done. We both fell on the floor laughing
@God No I've had friends who were furries and I've learned a lot about them, they're a very misunderstood and publicly bullied fandom. Many people think it's inherently sexual but that's not true. There are no "rules" for being a furry other than being a big fan of anthropomorphic art. Everything else added onto that concept is what every individual joining the fandom makes of it for him/herself. Because of the ones who have made it sexual for themselves and have had the money to order or produce for themselves adult rated commissions from starving artists, and show off online, and because of online trolls, and bullies in the media seeking content to sensationalize for more views, it has the appearance of being predominately sexual when it's actually not. If you go to an actual furry meetup or convention, you will see what the furry fandom is about. Kids, families, people of all ages and professions, even doctors, lawyers and war veterans finding common ground in animalistic escapism and just being silly. Fursuits help people come out of their shells and fursuiters just love making people smile. At its core and it's very essence, furry is simply a beautiful and innocent thing and an incredible source of creativity.
@@zenmasterwannabe - In other words, people who enjoy dressing up like animal mascots. Makes sense. I could even see that being a thing back in the 1970s.
Current incredible headline for Kandiss Taylor: "Trump loyalist who lost Georgia governor primary with just 3.4% of the vote is refusing to admit defeat"
" who lost Georgia governor primary with just 3.4% of the vote" the sad part is you could have left this part out and we could have all put the rest of it together before we were even finished reading it
Objectively it is funny, but fun fact! - i actually do furry art as a business full time and I can write off commissions as part of my networking and advertising budget, and that's just me! There are surprisingly a lot of legit reasons to write off commissioning an artist as part of a business, no matter how furry the art is, so it happens more commonly than you might think!
Actually HBO is the one paying for it, and it’s they accountants that have to justify it John probably looked at the yearly production budget and saw he had an extra 1000 for it
I'd like to remind you that the anti-vax movement started in Britain. The moment you think this can't happen to you, is the moment it happens to you; always stay on your guard
@@cruisepaige"That's definitely the US. I live half time" -- Let me please stop you because you're literally describing the Dunning-Kruger effect. It should be mentioned for perspective that Kandiss received 3.4% of the vote in the Georgia Republican gubernatorial primary.
When Oliver started to pitch the "why don't you build your own granite monument..." I absolutely expected him to follow up with, "Which is why that's exactly what we did."
This is not a show, it's just John talking to us, so he doesn't have the budget to do real life stuff like he does on the show. Having said that, this was one of the greatest bits of TV that were not really TV. But it would have been better if he had referred to that great geologist, Maud Pie. ua-cam.com/video/KneL8FwvjVs/v-deo.html
I'm honestly disappointed this didn't end with John announcing he had commissioned his own [state of his choice] guidestones in 7 different languages with ten vague commandments on them, with number ten being "The furry days are over when I'm governor."
@@denverarnold6210 It's possible, it will just take a long while. Though it's important to note that Trump didn't start all this crap; he was only possible because the anti-intellectual, xenophobic, overton-window-shifting groundwork for all this has been being laid for decades, arguably over a century. If it wasn't Trump it would've been someone else. He just happened to be the person despicable and stupid enough to stand at the front at the right time.
@@IstasPumaNevada I agree, Trump isn't just a bad person or a politician, he's a symbol of a lot of the worst things about America. He's an idea... ...And ideas are bulletproof...

As somebody who goes to the school that the furry-panic was about, it was fucking hilarious watching how it went from an April Fool's joke down at the middle school to a hot-button political issue in a week.
I think it's so sad that adults will jump to ridiculous conclusions and freak out and pontificate when all they have to do is ask kids why they are doing something. no wonder kids tend to think adults don't really care about them.
This is what Republican politics has boiled down to, though. I swear they spend 8 hours a day on conspiracy theory websites building their political policy from memes posted by 12 year olds. This is why so many Republicans appear to be clinically insane.
Whats really funny is that the entire "litterbox" thing comes from a teacher who wanted to see how gullible people were. Some teacher made up the entire thing and claimed to be "fired" on video, published it, and waited a while. She proceeded to admit that it was to test how quickly people would believe something like that, leading to a scarily good success on her believability.
You could not pay me, or any furry I know to crap in a litterbox, it's never gonna happen! I'm sure there's some weirdo furries out there who would, hell I'm sure there's people fond of anime cat-eared girls have that exact fetish. But most of us are perfectly normal people who like cosplay and art. Not that I'm even fond of cosplay, but I do like the art xD
The furry community appreciates it when you distinguish the fetish-side and the cosplay-side though. I know two furries that are into cosplaying a furry for the fact that as a cat/dog, you're not a "sexy" human. Nobody sees your face or shape, but they respond to a friendly face. It's how they like to socialize. The sex-,part of the image of furries has damaged their social interaction. I am not a furry, but I do create cosplays and I know how much time goes into a costume. Sharing drawings of horny antropomorphic dogs is one thing, but believe me, a sexfantasy is not enough motivation to create a hyperrealistic wolfmask with expensive glass eyes and an automaticly waving tail and small ventilator for overheating. That's dedication coming from the love of the "fursona" (persona.) Their alter ego.
@@Widdekuu91 that's very true. Furries didn't even start as a fetish thing, just an art thing. Yes, fetishes play a big role, but it's not the heart of the movement.
@@someonerandom704 Yeah, we're not really any hornier than anyone else. The bulk of the fandom comes from identity and the exploration thereof. The reason people think it's all about the sex stuff with us is because we're a very sex-positive community and far more willing to talk about/depict sex stuff than the average person, who tends to keep their weird-ass fantasies repressed. This open expression tends to freak out normies, so it gets more attention. Plus, a lot of the stuff we draw is really damn weird, so there's that too.
I remember that snake bus! It was an advertisement for Copenhagen Zoo. Very impressive paint job to make a square(-ish) bus look like it's being squeezed by a giant python IMO :)
The Georgia Guidestones point to one of my favourite tropes about conspiracy theorists: How stupidly obvious they think the clues are. Like the woman that pointed out that "Delta Omicron" was an anagram for "Media Control", as if the Deep State was capable of controlling the fate of the world, but couldn't resist hiding the details of their plan in Sunday morning Word Jumbles.
Yeah, the "chemtrail" believers point to the >40 year old "Stone Henge" of Georgia claiming "they" want to kill billions of humans by "spraying chemicals". When you point out that the population grew from approx. 4.5 billion then to almost 8 billion now, these nuts will call you "paid troll" :D
You have to understand that if you are under average in intelligence, then the world appears to be a very threatening place. Because then more than half the people in the world understand the world in more detail than you do. Just think about how you felt as a kid and then imagine how you still feel like that as an adult knowing that this feeling won't go away because you will not get any smarter in this life, only ever the other way round. So there are loads of people who you know can harm, trick and manipulate you to their will and you can't see it coming or prevent it, simply because they outsmart you. And I'm not talking about hawkings and Einsteins who you are never going to meet anyway, I'm talking about avarage people. And those exist in masses. Can you emphasize with how threatening the world must be for these people? Can you understand how obvious it is to see the whole population as controlled by invisible shadow man, as average people already act on a level of detail and complexity they can't comprehend? Think about how empowered they feel recognizing these simple patterns, finding a semblance of order in their anxiety ridden life and understand their level of cognitive abilities and how dependent it makes them. As I said, the curse of a child that will never grow up but not being mentally disabled enough to be unaware of that. Can you begin to understand just how afraid these people are? It feels very very uncomfortable to be at the wrong end of evolution. So what does the dog do when he is afraid? He barks and hopes there are other dogs who will come to bark with him so that he is not forgotten in the dark and eaten by the wolfs. Understand the responsibility you wield because you are probably one of those wolfes. You have real power over those people which you are unaware of. That's why they try to bark at you and make you afraid. But if you keep your distance you can see the little unloved and terrified child that is screaming at the wind.... I don't mean this as an insult but as a humbling acceptance of reality. They bark to make your afraid and therefore reactive. Don't let them pull you down and lower your intelligence. Win through understanding, you don't fear what you understand.
I personally love the Conspiracy Theorist belief that the Illuminati sends messages by placing symbols in music videos and Disney movies for weirdos on the Internet to see and "decode". You'd think an "all powerful" group of evil billionaires would be able to use email.
She was smart enough to recognize it as code, yet too full of it to realize its the Greek alphabet. It literally spells do. If there actually were a conspiracy these people just make the job easier.
You should read the conspiracy-laden comments on those videos. Apparently its a sign of the end times, a false flag operation, done by lizard people, etc. This world is full of morons.
John Oliver is one of my favorite comedians! I never knew he was so good at mind reading though, because yes, I was thinking, "YOU PROMISED ME ROCKS!!! WHERE ARE MY ROCKS?" He's so brilliantly accurate ❤️
Fun fact, in the 1970s Batman television show, every time Batman and Robin got into the Batmobile, a camera angle would show them buckling their bat-seatbelts. This was meant as a public educational tool to teach children the safety procedures they should follow before watching an episode of Last Week Tonight.
I love that kids TV shows can't have dangerous behaviour that could be imitated by children but if a kid can't do it it's fine, so you can fight gangsters and crime clowns but you buckle your seat belt first

This is the go to position now for politicians all over the world. After trump, the concept of satire or parody has been obliterated. Did you lose in anything...? Just claim & blame fraud, cheats, illegals, lie etc. with no evidence, clean your hands & you're good. The sheep will do the work for you. As long as you can tie up the system wasting time talking, the important stuff doesn't happen, and you will effectively do what you wanted, stop progress, anyway you can. Just keep "the conversation" going so no action is ever taken... ...and done, go home happy that you're literally draining the systems of money and time and effectively slowing down progress, so whenever it's your turn in power, you can say.... "see how 'they 'got nothing done!? but I will, I alone can fix things!" then the smart voices who are never heard say: "this isn't about sides But it was 'you' who made sure 'they' couldn't get anything done, good or bad, so what's with the brag? why brag that you were responsible (through action or inaction) for over thousands of deaths by stopping or slowing down the passing of say, an important medical bill or law that would save lives or help the poor? Why is blocking progress & human rights an achievement to the right? Religious beliefs tend to reverse everything.
When I hear "no more furries in schools", my first thought isn't "they're getting rid of litter boxes", it's "they're getting rid of the football mascot." This might be because I have half a goddamn clue what furries are.
I was thinking little Lucy on her way to school wearing cute cat ear headphones only for Kandiss to smash through the wall like the Koolaid man with a hammer in one hand to smash the ears and an arrest warrant in the other
Been saying "The furry days are over when I'm governor!" every time I walk into a room. Sadly it took little time for my cats to realize I wasnt serious.
I think it's odd that very few comments make mention of the fact that the monument was destroyed by a bombing done by a vandal just 8 days after this video was posted. I definitely think that John needs to give an update on these rocks.

At the end I was expecting John to say "...and the reason I know this, is because we built our own functioning calendar in rural wherever and inscribed the teachings of our Lady of Perpetual Excemption on it".
Rocks, Furries, and Georgia Republicans? I'm ready. *John's team commissioned a furry artist to draw him as a sexy 80s/90s dad otter?* Okay, I wasn't ready.
I live 20 minutes from the Georgia Guidestones. After 18 years of living in the area and never hearing anything about them, I saw something about them on the Discovery Channel and decided to take a ride over to them. They are neat. That's it. Not inspiring, not overwhelming, no weird/cool energy. Just neat rocks strategically placed. That's it. Also, they are in the middle of a cow field. Nothing to shout about.
I used to live near Stonehenge. I've seen the much older standing stones in my native Scotland. Including being on both sides of the Giant's Causeway. But now there's reason to visit Georgia to complete the set 😉 Or maybe not, I might stick to the original Georgia.
@@MarsiaPowers Haha! nope. I saw no one. Not even cows. Its seriously pathetic. A total waste of 3 gallons of gas. "Rocks" is the perfect way to describe the guidestones.
@@Mark-Haddow I'm sure its interesting to see them just because of how old they are. I can totally get behind the ancient sites. Our version is just a mind game of a person that had entirely too much time on his hands.
I mean the population under 500 mil is kinda off, and when you find out who created them the other rules like responsible reproduction seem extra creepy like John said.
I was disappointed, too. But let's be honest, he would've spent most of that time rambling on about gabbro being cooler than basalt, all while totally avoiding the fact that chalcedony blows everything else out of the water
The funniest part about the whole furry outrage is the fact that some people evidently think that a fursuit is something any child can just casually afford. If a child is wearing a fursuit, you should be asking the parents some questions.
I'm 55 years old. Ever since Ronnie Raygun got installed by huge amounts of dark money the same has been true of any fringe looney with $$$ and a crazy issue. Welfare queens that didn't exist. Every other sort of lie to get into office to serve the wealthy. Furries? I don't really care. That woman? Makes my skin crawl. Do I think she cares one bit about furries, guns, Jesus, or anything else but money and power. Strong no. She'll say anything to get power and wealth.

As a german, I got instantly icky feels at the reproductive line. It was so weirdly specific, that I thought it might be racist/eugenics shit. And damnit, my gut feeling was right.
Mismanagement of resources is a bit worse. Overpopulation is blaming the people and not the systems in place, like abundant food becoming food waste daily that would steadily feed countries or other unsustainable factors. It’s really interesting to delve into, if you ever have the time.
“Critiques of conservative economic theory and fuzzy butt shots really are the guiding principles of the whole movement” the best and most accurate thing ever said about furries on television
I've spent more than 2 decades floating around the coastlines of the sea of furry fandom and... Yeah. He dropped that on us and I was just nodding and going "yep that sounds right".
True story, I'm a Jewish person who lived in Georgia in 2020, and one day I found a giant Nazi swastika flag on the side of the highway. Really none of what John Oliver reported here is surprising to me!
I used to live in Georgia and people at my school would constantly be jokingly doing the nazi salute, I found a swastika on the bleachers, and every day kids would chant ”build that wall” in Spanish class. Georgia is fun like that.
“They want to put litter boxes in the schools for these children to use” what is this, ICE? No these are American children, they shit in the gender boxes”
I'm friends with one of the people that started the "furries using litterboxes in school" joke in Michigan and god I'm so proud at how far they've come lol. Wish I could do something that big.
Can confirm that “The Furry Days Are Over When I’m Governor” is really fun to say, recently sent that last image of the phrase carved in stone to a friend of mine who’s a furry as a WTF good morning message which he found hilarious but also went “Y’know what, it’s better if I have ZERO context” (he’s European and while somewhat politically aware, it’s not like he follows EVERY single American election)

As a rock-rights activist, I'm deeply sad because of this situation. Think of all the rocks who have to be in a world where things like this happen. Truly awful.
As a furry I literally crack up at the things old people come up with when they hear about us. First off I dress up as a fly sometimes to cope with severe ptsd it’s only slightly better than edibles. I love being a furry sometimes the community can be a huge hit or miss. So Kandiss, would you like to see me in my bunny fursuit or my fly fursuit?
I... never even considered the possibilty of fly furries... like I'm playing with the concept in my mind but I just can't find a way to anthropomorphize a fly. What the hell does your fly sona look like
Do you dress up as a fly because it makes the world/yourself seem smaller? Maybe the fact flies don’t have time nor can think about anything that happened to them milliseconds before? Personally to deal with my PTSD I’ll get in small spaces. Like climb into a bathtub and close the curtain. I also started writing songs a few years back. Sorry that you’ve got PTSD. Mine had held me back for so long my brain broke for like a week once. 😂 After that I realized we only live once, sold all my shit, decided to write an album (soon to be finished), and will soon be traveling the states busking/playing small venues. Thought about train hopping but with a Martin…..yeah….no.
“And if you absolutely had to reduce the furry presence online right down to its bones, critiques of conservative economic theory and fuzzy butt shots really are the guiding principles of the whole movement.” That's the most accurate way of describing furries I've heard in a LONG time!
Every furry I know is in IT, the military, or was working for one of the big studios (Disney, Warner Bros, Nick). They basically hold this country together.
Rock speaks truth to her massive delusions. Her speech was painful to watch. It turned my outtie into an innie. Imagine Mitch McConnell's head being sucked back into his neck.
I think one thing I can appreciate about how Last Week Tonight runs is the fact that they give their team leave relatively frequently. It's important in this day and age to treat your employees well and give them some time to destress and recollect their thoughts.
My daycare is like this. It's really frustrating to have to parent and work from home when they're on vacation, but I can't really blame them for making sure the teachers get breaks. They've had pretty good staff retention despite all the Covid stress.
@@markg.1159 I totally understand. I think in cases like that, where parenting and working are required throughout the work day, companies need to show a little bit of leniency. Everyone is being challenged with issues like this, so we can all be a little more patient with one another. I hope that it works out for you, Mark. And don't be afraid to take time off, should you be permitted. Honesty with your boss can go a long way, if you're feeling overwhelmed.
They dont get leave .they work everyday, even in weeks where there is no show . The number of shows is limited by the production company because of budgetary constraints . Each episode uses up a lot of money . But they do work all the time planning and researching future episodes
Lol!! Never thought I'd see the Georgia Guidestones on here! You seriously need to do a follow-up segment about when someone blew up one of the stones, that was some local gossip for the ages. 😂
I honestly can’t tell if Bostelman is genuinely *that* wrong about the whole concept of furries, or if he’s doing that thing republicans do where they attack something they don’t like by saying it’s “corrupting the children”.
Well, the previous Republican strategy of attacking gays is now considered unacceptable by the majority of Americans, and while they've had some luck transitioning to trans people it turns out most folks also aren't too put out by "dudes and girls, but they want to be the other one." I imagine the thinking is that furries are so inaccessibly weird they can just say whatever they want, so they're kind of trialing them as the new sexual pariah group to scapegoat. Which is weird because while some furries are definitely horrifying perverts, the vast majority of them just want to draw cartoons on the internet, plus there seem to be a non-trivial number who are very ardent conservatives. It's almost like making your whole platform vilifying an enemy instead of improving your community is a dead end, huh?
I assume he had a general idea about it and someone either joked about litterboxes and he got it wrong or someone sent him pictures of furries with litterboxes (yes, they exist) and he extrapolated from there.
Id... like to thank John Oliver for being supportive. WE are undoubtedly a weird subculture. we are unique. kinky. strange. freaky and in this person's humble opinion. marvelous and fantastic, After being a great many things during my life. being a furry is the one I'm most proud of... here's some reasons why. I was born in Venezuela, and survived 2 extreme riots that costed many lives. I was trained as an EMT and emergency field surgeon. I graduated as a designer, specialized both in advertising and later in illustration. I taught college courses on both for at least a year . some before i fully graduated. I am a member of the LGBTQ+ people. The Q. actually. and yet, IT was when i became an artist for the furry fandom that i found community, kindness, a wholesome (not necessarily safe for work) and accepting community. I've seen friends get cancer. and within the HOUR, the furry fandom has crowdfunded their medical costs. i have seen children be rescued from terrible situations by members of the community who SEE the damage that has been done and fearlessly report the abuses. I've had boyfriends, girlfriends, and non binary partners that have taught me that, whatever form your flesh takes. it is the soul and the kindness in your heart that matters. I've seen awful people rear their ugly head, commit atrocities, and I've seen the entire community raise their voices to exclaim NO. that is not right. At this point. i believe furries to be a greater force for good than the catholic church. or the self imposed power trip that is the united nations. and it feels... good to be seen by someone who doesn't immediately points at us for cheap comedic skits. So... thank you john Oliver. for being an outlier in UA-cam and the world. thank you for not making me feel like a monster. here's an invitation. if you ever want art done. I'd be honored and delighted.
he points at us for comedic skits, but shows he's supportive of us *instantly* after that. clearly he's not like other comedians :D also wow you've got a lot of cool stuff from your life, glad that you've got so much positiveness to talk about :O
It's sad how only furries really understand furdom. People think it's some bestiality thing but it's not, it's just a bunch of kinky artists being happy. Mucha suerte pa ti, espero que te vaya bien la vida!
I love how John lets us know in the most casual possible way that he commissioned a furry-centric artist to capture his likeness (and, in the process, our hearts) in the form of a sexy, anthropomorphic otter.
Message to future viewers: That thing, the Georgia Guidestone, "capable of withstanding catastrophic events"? It got blown up. Then the rest of it was torn down because it became a health hazard.
It's a pile of rocks now...so very important for John Oliver to bring that up just a little over a month before the Guidestones become a pile of rocks.
@Dean Ambrose well, i know the reason(s) behind it, my point is "why".... the "rocks" have little effect on anyones life, dont improve, dont interfere, dont do no nothing at all but just have a few msgs in different languages... so "why" bother... is like bombing a dry well from the 1800s or an delapidated railroad from early 1900s or a decommissiined cellphone tower from 2000s... If this is the case, ppl will flee USA because of these bunch of fanatics doing what their "leaders" are saying to win electoral votes... politics are "killing" the american dream........ That and the mass killings due gunfire.... not going to address gun control, cuz i do approve having access to guns to defend ur household, but not to get 20 different guns rifles flamethrowers and the like just cuz the constitution says so... its 2022, not 1776...
@Dean Ambrose While no suspect has come forward. I get the feeling it was blown up for its "satanic" message and not the fact it was commissioned by a eugenic KKK supporter.
It is monday morning, I am sleep deprived and already my day is gonna be hell. And I am definitelly gonna watch John Oliver rant about rocks for 17 mins with my breakfast.
Possibly. But if you pause the video right before he announces the possible creator of the Georgia Guidestone; it's just a little longer (two minutes?) than a long web exclusive episode.
Uncle George was and will be always right: “When you're born into this world, you're given a ticket to the freak show. If you're born in America you get a front row seat.”
And once again, I'll have to look my children in the eye and say "Yes, that history book *is* accurate. Your state senator tried to outlaw Furries. Jesus Christ I knew this conversation was coming and yet it's still humiliating."
It's going to be so hard to take American history books seriously once they start including the Qanon shaman being part of an insurrection. With the only context for what is Qanon being, the idiots responsible for Pizzagate.
A candidate driving around in a bus that says "Jesus, Guns, Babies" sounds like a Family Guy joke.

@@noktilux4052 I'm black so it's not much better over here lmao
@God No I've had friends who were furries and I've learned a lot about them, they're a very misunderstood and publicly bullied fandom. Many people think it's inherently sexual but that's not true. There are no "rules" for being a furry other than being a big fan of anthropomorphic art. Everything else added onto that concept is what every individual joining the fandom makes of it for him/herself. Because of the ones who have made it sexual for themselves and have had the money to order or produce for themselves adult rated commissions from starving artists, and show off online, and because of online trolls, and bullies in the media seeking content to sensationalize for more views, it has the appearance of being predominately sexual when it's actually not. If you go to an actual furry meetup or convention, you will see what the furry fandom is about. Kids, families, people of all ages and professions, even doctors, lawyers and war veterans finding common ground in animalistic escapism and just being silly. Fursuits help people come out of their shells and fursuiters just love making people smile. At its core and it's very essence, furry is simply a beautiful and innocent thing and an incredible source of creativity.

he's so wrong too lol, if someone tried to show him actual furry art I don't think he'd be able to eat for a week lol
The furry community appreciates it when you distinguish the fetish-side and the cosplay-side though. I know two furries that are into cosplaying a furry for the fact that as a cat/dog, you're not a "sexy" human. Nobody sees your face or shape, but they respond to a friendly face. It's how they like to socialize. The sex-,part of the image of furries has damaged their social interaction.
I am not a furry, but I do create cosplays and I know how much time goes into a costume. Sharing drawings of horny antropomorphic dogs is one thing, but believe me, a sexfantasy is not enough motivation to create a hyperrealistic wolfmask with expensive glass eyes and an automaticly waving tail and small ventilator for overheating. That's dedication coming from the love of the "fursona" (persona.) Their alter ego.
@@Widdekuu91 that's very true. Furries didn't even start as a fetish thing, just an art thing. Yes, fetishes play a big role, but it's not the heart of the movement.
@@someonerandom704 Yeah, we're not really any hornier than anyone else. The bulk of the fandom comes from identity and the exploration thereof.
The reason people think it's all about the sex stuff with us is because we're a very sex-positive community and far more willing to talk about/depict sex stuff than the average person, who tends to keep their weird-ass fantasies repressed. This open expression tends to freak out normies, so it gets more attention. Plus, a lot of the stuff we draw is really damn weird, so there's that too.

The Georgia Guidestones point to one of my favourite tropes about conspiracy theorists: How stupidly obvious they think the clues are. Like the woman that pointed out that "Delta Omicron" was an anagram for "Media Control", as if the Deep State was capable of controlling the fate of the world, but couldn't resist hiding the details of their plan in Sunday morning Word Jumbles.
It's like all villainous plots have to follow at least the same level of self-sabotage as the Riddler had to...
Yeah, the "chemtrail" believers point to the >40 year old "Stone Henge" of Georgia claiming "they" want to kill billions of humans by "spraying chemicals". When you point out that the population grew from approx. 4.5 billion then to almost 8 billion now, these nuts will call you "paid troll" :D
You have to understand that if you are under average in intelligence, then the world appears to be a very threatening place. Because then more than half the people in the world understand the world in more detail than you do. Just think about how you felt as a kid and then imagine how you still feel like that as an adult knowing that this feeling won't go away because you will not get any smarter in this life, only ever the other way round.
So there are loads of people who you know can harm, trick and manipulate you to their will and you can't see it coming or prevent it, simply because they outsmart you. And I'm not talking about hawkings and Einsteins who you are never going to meet anyway, I'm talking about avarage people. And those exist in masses. Can you emphasize with how threatening the world must be for these people?
Can you understand how obvious it is to see the whole population as controlled by invisible shadow man, as average people already act on a level of detail and complexity they can't comprehend?
Think about how empowered they feel recognizing these simple patterns, finding a semblance of order in their anxiety ridden life and understand their level of cognitive abilities and how dependent it makes them. As I said, the curse of a child that will never grow up but not being mentally disabled enough to be unaware of that. Can you begin to understand just how afraid these people are? It feels very very uncomfortable to be at the wrong end of evolution. So what does the dog do when he is afraid? He barks and hopes there are other dogs who will come to bark with him so that he is not forgotten in the dark and eaten by the wolfs.
Understand the responsibility you wield because you are probably one of those wolfes. You have real power over those people which you are unaware of. That's why they try to bark at you and make you afraid. But if you keep your distance you can see the little unloved and terrified child that is screaming at the wind.... I don't mean this as an insult but as a humbling acceptance of reality. They bark to make your afraid and therefore reactive. Don't let them pull you down and lower your intelligence. Win through understanding, you don't fear what you understand.
I personally love the Conspiracy Theorist belief that the Illuminati sends messages by placing symbols in music videos and Disney movies for weirdos on the Internet to see and "decode". You'd think an "all powerful" group of evil billionaires would be able to use email.

I live 20 minutes from the Georgia Guidestones. After 18 years of living in the area and never hearing anything about them, I saw something about them on the Discovery Channel and decided to take a ride over to them. They are neat. That's it. Not inspiring, not overwhelming, no weird/cool energy. Just neat rocks strategically placed. That's it. Also, they are in the middle of a cow field. Nothing to shout about.
Did you run into the motorcycle guy?
I used to live near Stonehenge.
I've seen the much older standing stones in my native Scotland. Including being on both sides of the Giant's Causeway.
But now there's reason to visit Georgia to complete the set 😉
Or maybe not, I might stick to the original Georgia.
@@MarsiaPowers Haha! nope. I saw no one. Not even cows. Its seriously pathetic. A total waste of 3 gallons of gas. "Rocks" is the perfect way to describe the guidestones.
@@Mark-Haddow I'm sure its interesting to see them just because of how old they are. I can totally get behind the ancient sites. Our version is just a mind game of a person that had entirely too much time on his hands.
I mean the population under 500 mil is kinda off, and when you find out who created them the other rules like responsible reproduction seem extra creepy like John said.
If the Guidestones survived an apocalypse, they could be a modern version of a Rosetta Stone for future archeologists.

Mismanagement of resources is a bit worse. Overpopulation is blaming the people and not the systems in place, like abundant food becoming food waste daily that would steadily feed countries or other unsustainable factors. It’s really interesting to delve into, if you ever have the time.
“Critiques of conservative economic theory and fuzzy butt shots really are the guiding principles of the whole movement” the best and most accurate thing ever said about furries on television

I wonder how that looked to the live audience.
True story, I'm a Jewish person who lived in Georgia in 2020, and one day I found a giant Nazi swastika flag on the side of the highway. Really none of what John Oliver reported here is surprising to me!
I used to live in Georgia and people at my school would constantly be jokingly doing the nazi salute, I found a swastika on the bleachers, and every day kids would chant ”build that wall” in Spanish class.

Can confirm that “The Furry Days Are Over When I’m Governor” is really fun to say, recently sent that last image of the phrase carved in stone to a friend of mine who’s a furry as a WTF good morning message which he found hilarious but also went “Y’know what, it’s better if I have ZERO context” (he’s European and while somewhat politically aware, it’s not like he follows EVERY single American election)

Don't worry. The furry days are over when I'm governor.
Same here - I was quite excited to hear John talk about rocks. Well, now we know those are granites
Yeah. I sorta hoped there would be some geology. Just for a change.

Me: “Okay.”
Him: “Population Control”
Me: “Oh no, here we go.”
Him: “And at least two letters praising David Duke.”
Me: “And here we are.”
The moment I saw Guide Reproduction, I immeditately thought "Yeah Eugenics is definitely involved"
Yeah, I was like "Late 1970s person interested in population control? I'm not gonna like where this goes, am I?"
Go to Walmart or one of Kandiss' rallies and tell me with a straight face and sincerity that we shouldn't put at least a little thought into who reproduces and when.

As a furry I literally crack up at the things old people come up with when they hear about us. First off I dress up as a fly sometimes to cope with severe ptsd it’s only slightly better than edibles. I love being a furry sometimes the community can be a huge hit or miss. So Kandiss, would you like to see me in my bunny fursuit or my fly fursuit?
I... never even considered the possibilty of fly furries... like I'm playing with the concept in my mind but I just can't find a way to anthropomorphize a fly.
What the hell does your fly sona look like
Do you dress up as a fly because it makes the world/yourself seem smaller? Maybe the fact flies don’t have time nor can think about anything that happened to them milliseconds before? Personally to deal with my PTSD I’ll get in small spaces. Like climb into a bathtub and close the curtain. I also started writing songs a few years back. Sorry that you’ve got PTSD. Mine had held me back for so long my brain broke for like a week once. 😂 After that I realized we only live once, sold all my shit, decided to write an album (soon to be finished), and will soon be traveling the states busking/playing small venues. Thought about train hopping but with a Martin…..yeah….no.
Old people INVENTED furries, hun.
“And if you absolutely had to reduce the furry presence online right down to its bones, critiques of conservative economic theory and fuzzy butt shots really are the guiding principles of the whole movement.”
That's the most accurate way of describing furries I've heard in a LONG time!
Chisei would agree!
Furries exist in the strange place between space and time, like Juggalos or the Amish
Every furry I know is in IT, the military, or was working for one of the big studios (Disney, Warner Bros, Nick). They basically hold this country together.
To think that Kandis Taylor was a teacher is even more embarrassing, running on her ‘anti rock’ policy. I guess that worked out for her? Rock on!
One those fascist christian home schooled ones I bet..
Guns> babies.. Makes sense. The good ol' abortion gun.

Rock speaks truth to her massive delusions. Her speech was painful to watch. It turned my outtie into an innie. Imagine Mitch McConnell's head being sucked back into his neck.

I think one thing I can appreciate about how Last Week Tonight runs is the fact that they give their team leave relatively frequently. It's important in this day and age to treat your employees well and give them some time to destress and recollect their thoughts.
My daycare is like this. It's really frustrating to have to parent and work from home when they're on vacation, but I can't really blame them for making sure the teachers get breaks. They've had pretty good staff retention despite all the Covid stress.
@@markg.1159 I totally understand. I think in cases like that, where parenting and working are required throughout the work day, companies need to show a little bit of leniency.
Everyone is being challenged with issues like this, so we can all be a little more patient with one another. I hope that it works out for you, Mark.
And don't be afraid to take time off, should you be permitted. Honesty with your boss can go a long way, if you're feeling overwhelmed.
They dont get leave .they work everyday, even in weeks where there is no show . The number of shows is limited by the production company because of budgetary constraints . Each episode uses up a lot of money . But they do work all the time planning and researching future episodes

@@loneranger718 What the hell are you talking about?
Lol!! Never thought I'd see the Georgia Guidestones on here! You seriously need to do a follow-up segment about when someone blew up one of the stones, that was some local gossip for the ages. 😂
I honestly can’t tell if Bostelman is genuinely *that* wrong about the whole concept of furries, or if he’s doing that thing republicans do where they attack something they don’t like by saying it’s “corrupting the children”.
its all about authoritarianism and their dark fantasies to dom over others, children included.
Well, the previous Republican strategy of attacking gays is now considered unacceptable by the majority of Americans, and while they've had some luck transitioning to trans people it turns out most folks also aren't too put out by "dudes and girls, but they want to be the other one." I imagine the thinking is that furries are so inaccessibly weird they can just say whatever they want, so they're kind of trialing them as the new sexual pariah group to scapegoat. Which is weird because while some furries are definitely horrifying perverts, the vast majority of them just want to draw cartoons on the internet, plus there seem to be a non-trivial number who are very ardent conservatives. It's almost like making your whole platform vilifying an enemy instead of improving your community is a dead end, huh?
I'd guess the answer is Yes
I assume he had a general idea about it and someone either joked about litterboxes and he got it wrong or someone sent him pictures of furries with litterboxes (yes, they exist) and he extrapolated from there.
Repubics are vehemently against allowing people to corrupt children, that's their job. Matt Pizza Gaetz in particular..
Waiting for John and the team to open a museum of commissioned art, mascots, odd signs, and miscellaneous bits John has collected over years.

@@lappr0 it was breathtaking to visit in person
Id... like to thank John Oliver for being supportive. WE are undoubtedly a weird subculture. we are unique. kinky. strange. freaky and in this person's humble opinion. marvelous and fantastic, After being a great many things during my life. being a furry is the one I'm most proud of... here's some reasons why.
I was born in Venezuela, and survived 2 extreme riots that costed many lives.
I was trained as an EMT and emergency field surgeon.
I graduated as a designer, specialized both in advertising and later in illustration.
I taught college courses on both for at least a year . some before i fully graduated.
I am a member of the LGBTQ+ people. The Q. actually.
and yet, IT was when i became an artist for the furry fandom that i found community, kindness, a wholesome (not necessarily safe for work) and accepting community. I've seen friends get cancer. and within the HOUR, the furry fandom has crowdfunded their medical costs. i have seen children be rescued from terrible situations by members of the community who SEE the damage that has been done and fearlessly report the abuses. I've had boyfriends, girlfriends, and non binary partners that have taught me that, whatever form your flesh takes. it is the soul and the kindness in your heart that matters. I've seen awful people rear their ugly head, commit atrocities, and I've seen the entire community raise their voices to exclaim NO. that is not right.
At this point. i believe furries to be a greater force for good than the catholic church. or the self imposed power trip that is the united nations. and it feels... good to be seen by someone who doesn't immediately points at us for cheap comedic skits. So... thank you john Oliver. for being an outlier in UA-cam and the world. thank you for not making me feel like a monster.
here's an invitation. if you ever want art done. I'd be honored and delighted.
he points at us for comedic skits, but shows he's supportive of us *instantly* after that.
clearly he's not like other comedians :D
also wow you've got a lot of cool stuff from your life, glad that you've got so much positiveness to talk about :O
Awwwww! im so happy for you!
Well said.
Great name.
It's sad how only furries really understand furdom. People think it's some bestiality thing but it's not, it's just a bunch of kinky artists being happy. Mucha suerte pa ti, espero que te vaya bien la vida!
Most of us call the ball of energy that shines through the Guidestones onto robocop's face "the Sun".
I love how John lets us know in the most casual possible way that he commissioned a furry-centric artist to capture his likeness (and, in the process, our hearts) in the form of a sexy, anthropomorphic otter.
why did it take so long for me to find this 😂 I need to know if he personally commissioned it, or if it was part of the show budget
And I love the fact that the commission for that artwork can be considered a business expense😂😂
Yep
We all knew he'd pick Otter
Come now, let's be honest- was it your HEART that it captured...?
Message to future viewers:
That thing, the Georgia Guidestone, "capable of withstanding catastrophic events"? It got blown up. Then the rest of it was torn down because it became a health hazard.
It's a pile of rocks now...so very important for John Oliver to bring that up just a little over a month before the Guidestones become a pile of rocks.
Indeed, why destroy it tho
@@rhyhaggen336 Vanilla ISIS, that's why.
@Dean Ambrose well, i know the reason(s) behind it, my point is "why".... the "rocks" have little effect on anyones life, dont improve, dont interfere, dont do no nothing at all but just have a few msgs in different languages... so "why" bother... is like bombing a dry well from the 1800s or an delapidated railroad from early 1900s or a decommissiined cellphone tower from 2000s...
If this is the case, ppl will flee USA because of these bunch of fanatics doing what their "leaders" are saying to win electoral votes... politics are "killing" the american dream........
That and the mass killings due gunfire.... not going to address gun control, cuz i do approve having access to guns to defend ur household, but not to get 20 different guns rifles flamethrowers and the like just cuz the constitution says so... its 2022, not 1776...
