Proof Disney Is Actually Marketing "Zootopia" To Furries
A marketing firm contracted by Disney has been reaching out to furry groups asking them to post to Instagram with the movie hashtag in exchange for freebies.
Disney
Furries have been speculating that Disney's latest animated movie Zootopia is tailor-made for them. And apparently they're not wrong. BuzzFeed News has obtained an email that a marketing agency working with Disney sent to the furry Meetup group Furlife, encouraging furries to post photos of themselves in fursuits to Twitter and Instagram with the movie hashtag, even offering posters or movie swag to those that do.
It's easy to see why Zootopia — which is set in what's basically human world but with animals wearing clothes and doing human jobs — would be appealing to furries. The plot centers around a female rabbit rookie cop who teams up with a wily male fox con artist (confox?) to solve a big crime together. The fox character is a near doppelganger of the fox from Disney's animated Robin Hood, which has been hugely popular in the furry community, both as something they relate to and also want to yiff with (have sex with).
And so here we find ourselves at the nexus of the two truest internet axioms: "furries ruin everything" and "if it exists, there's porn of it" (aka Rule 34). Furries themselves are the first to claim they ruin everything, sort of an in-group joke. And indeed, there are already furry artists at work drawing the female rabbit character in the nude (link NSFW for a nude rabbit with human breasts and vagina).
But as much as they might joke among themselves for being deviants, furries are... kind of normal. They just want to have a good time, just like any other under-represented group, when a movie that seems to appeal to them comes around, they're excited. Some of their MeetUp groups are planning group outings to the movie on opening night, and the reality is whatever kids happen to be there will get a kick out of it, and it's not like they're going to be ruthlessly cranking off in the theatre.
In the case of Zootopia, furries' bad rap is underserving. It might seem like furries are just so twisted that they've adopted an innocent children's movie for their own sick gratification. But in reality, Disney purposely is being a knot-tease.
Here is the email sent by Allied Integrated Media, a digital marketing company contracted by Disney, to a furry Meetup group:
The screenshot is a little hard to read, but it says:
Hello Furlife,
My name is [name redacted] and I am representing Walt Disney Studios. Our next film being released is ZOOTOPIA and it is about a world inhabited by animals all living in peace together. The pictures of the members of your group all looking like animals are incredible and align perfectly with the film. All of you could live peacefully in Zootopia. It would be great for you all to share these photos on social media platforms such as Instagram and Twitter. You can take new photos of each other and share these new photos online using the hashtags #Zootopia and #ZooU. You can be representing ZOOTOPIA and the participants can receive film based items such as the poster and rabbit or fox crowns. This can be a lot of fun and your group seems perfect to participate. If you are interested start posting the photos today and email me at xxxxxx@alliedim.com. Thanks!
A representative for Allied had no comment. Disney did not respond to BuzzFeed News' request for comment.

A Girl And Her Service Dog Got Ready For Prom Together And It's The Best
“Being a young disabled person can be daunting, but facing the world with an adorable fluffball by my side makes it so much easier.”
This is Erin Condrin. She lives in Queensland, Australia, and has Classical Type Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome — a tissue disorder that causes difficulty with tasks like writing and tying shoelaces, as well as joint dislocations up to 20 times a day.

For Condrin, EDS also results in other conditions causing a large number of chemical allergies and complications eating food. But since mid-2015, her service dog, Lacey, who she found through Canine Helpers Australia, has been a source of support.
Erin Condrin / Via facebook.com
Just last week, Condrin and Lacey donned matching custom-made outfits as they prepared together for Condrin's senior formal.
"Lacey brought a smile to everyone's faces," Condrin told BuzzFeed. "The ladies at the hairdresser's took lots of photos and kept giggling whenever they looked over at her."

"Lacey has many different costumes," said Condrin. "So it was natural she'd have a dress that matched mine. We asked my very talented dressmaker if she'd sew Lacey a skirt out of the left over material from my dress, and she was all for it."

Daisy Ridley Shut Down Body-Shamers In An Open Letter To Trolls
“I will not apologise for how I look.”
She's already proved she's a total badass and all-round awesome girl since rising to fame last year in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Walt Disney Studios
Now Daisy Ridley has shown she won't put up with body-shamers. Daisy had posted this meme on her Instagram page, which criticises her body image.
The meme included a speech bubble next to an image of her in character as Rey, stating: "I can't believe the unrealistic expectations I'm setting for young girls. Who cast me anyway? Don't they know real women have curves?"
Daisy responded with the caption: "'Real women' are all shapes and sizes, all ethnicities, all levels of brave, have families, don't have families. I am a 'real woman' like every other woman in this world."
Instagram: @www.instagram.com/daisyridley/?hl=en
She has since deleted the picture, after seeming to realise she had included the name of the original Instagram user.
And now she has shared this important message in its place. In the open letter she, quite rightly, slams body-shamers and those hating on other women. And she insists she won't apologise for how she looks.

In their defense, it is pretty difficult to tell whether you’ve zoned out or intensely focused.
In fact, your face looks the same whether you’re anxious, sad, upset, bored, contemplative, indifferent or feeling totally content.

Melissa McCarthy Had The Best Things To Say About Body Positivity And Feminism

She's no stranger to dropping the damn mic, like when she shut down a reporter who criticised her appearance.
The Ellen Show
There's an epidemic in our country of girls and women feeling bad about themselves based on what .5% of the human race looks like. It starts very young. My message is that as long as everybody's healthy, enjoy and embrace whatever body type you have.
She also had a message for women who refuse to identify as feminist.
