"The crux of Furry, the engine that drives its work, is its reliance on the replication and development of an idea. This makes us an island among all other fandoms, which are based on the replication of corporate intellectual property. Where other fandoms buy and collect commodities of superheroes we develop our fursonas. The Furry Fandom, being a fandom of an idea and not a property, has the basis for a collective and democratic method of production that is the mass project of the entire people.
If our Fandom were organized around intellectual property, ie, if “Furry” were a product on a shelf and we were all fans of it, then we would be beholden to the profit drive and boardroom whims of the mega-corp that owns that IP, and by extension own us. Artists would panic before cease and desist letters, none of our periodicals or sites would be truly independent and would only be allowed to exist so long as it served the profit motives of the company. All work undertaken by the Furry Fandom would either directly or indirectly go to the profit of the company. Fanart would be free advertising. Furry labor would go unpaid.
We would be analogous to the Bronies. The Bronies built in two years what it took us 20 to build. They built sites of their own, a lexicon, an extra-cannon, A convention system, and beat the pants off the Furry Fandom when it came to animation. They would have been an equal contender and powerful friend. But they did not have what Taral Wayne, founding Furry and contributor to Vootie referred to as “a sovereign and independent Fandom”[1].
Nothing they made they owned. They were of great benefit to the profits of Hasbro with millions in free advertising and a bonus consumer market for MLP commodities that Hasbro did not expect, but not for a minute did Hasbro forget that it owned those people. When the Bronies began to put out works of art and acts of independent power that rivaled what Hasbro could produce they were hit with a crackdown of DMCAs, lawsuits, cease and desist letters, and corporate claims on their creations[2]. Hasbro acted as if it had just noticed this rogue Fandom as if it was some thief, when for years the Bronies operated with full acknowledgement from Hasbro. Hasbro even allowed for some of the Fan characters to enter the show’s official canon. It was a total betrayal. The Bronies misunderstood. It was never their Fandom at all. They were simply the free labor and secondary end market for Hasbro and nothing more. The moment the Bronies tried to be anything more they were smashed. The threat of having their IP be liberated was too great to Hasbro, even if it meant destroying their secondary market to protect it." -Manifesto For A Furry Future

Coprophagia (/ˌkɒprəˈfeɪdʒiə/)[1] or coprophagy (/kəˈprɒfədʒi/) is the consumption of feces. The word is derived from the Ancient Greek: κόπρος copros, "feces" and φαγεῖν phagein, "to eat". Coprophagy refers to many kinds of feces-eating, including eating feces of other species (heterospecifics), of other individuals (allocoprophagy), or one's own (autocoprophagy) – those once deposited or taken directly from the anus.
In humans, coprophagia has been described since the late 19th century in individuals with mental illnesses and in some sexual acts, such as the practices of rimming and felching where sex partners insert their tongue into each other's anus and ingest biologically significant amounts of feces. Some animal species eat feces as a normal behavior, in particular lagomorphs, which do so to allow tough plant materials to be digested more thoroughly by passing twice through the digestive tract. Other species may eat feces under certain conditions.
