To be honest the thing that bothered me the most about his video is he lied full stop. I attended ANE the nsfw section of the dealer's den WAS separate and you did need an id to enter that part, they checked my id multiple times even. So the fact that he lied for no discernible reason left a bad taste in my mouth.

He lied because the video was never a good faith attempt to get to know the furry community. The implicit perpetuation of the homophobic stereotype of furries, hence queer people, being groomers and sexual predators was wholly intentional. Then he has the gall to claim he never meant to "spread harmful stereotypes." Punching down on furries was just his way of disguising thinly veiled homophobia under a more """socially acceptable""" veneer.

So there is a chance his ID just wasnt check cause he had on a fursuit. Also I've seen a few times these 18+ magazines, body pillows, art, etc in the SFW Dealers Den at multiple cons and all they have to do is put a sticker over the naughty bits to be allowed...which like shouldnt be allowed there still potentially minors. But this video was made with a agenda so i have a feeling if his ID was checked he was always planning to say it wasnt.

Every other sincere person who has gone to cons actually have fun experiences and acknowledge that sexual stuff does happen at least once. But that's all locked away for adults and whatnot. Plus the bit where they said they went into the Dealers Den and found smut is plausible cause I found a single table selling it at IFC but they made sure not to let you view anything unless you had an ID present.

Except Ant did ask for consent to film prior and even showed that he asked in the video. And then got it. It was only a matter of aftermath being reprehensible. Sure, there are disingenuous factors, like the goal of searching for a “party” to begin with and not having a clarified view on the possible repercussions of the video. However, the majority of it was incorporated with participant consent and he had even gone on to mostly have fun, make valid critiques, address commonalities of the culture, and clear up poor stereotypes of the community. It’s not a 1-to-1 of the unconsensual putting of gay men and non-consensual filming of gay men.

Honestly I feel like Anthpo's video is a very good example on how people: 1, do anything to reach their goal (As seen by the business cards for the o**y, DMing all the people, which, after the video I doubt he continued DMing, etc) and 2, not question morals and only try to damage control after the whole thing has already gone downhill. The entirety of his video seems just... disingenuous, done with the sole purpose of talking about the "parties", with the other stuff as filler to try and put the furry fandom in a good spotlight before completely going from 0 to 100 in the most weird, manipulative way possible. At the end I genuinely felt... disgusted by his image, and with a reason. I personally percieve this like he was trying to be genuine about the furry fandom and all, just to end up being a controversy farm that could be used against the furry fandom.

he said a lot of nice things about the furry community and showed a few people sharing about their neurodivergence and other issues they face, i thought it was good

The 200 day video really annoys me, because it’s that mixture of male teenage annoyance vibe + how it’s another example of someone trying to exploit (I don’t know if that’s the best way to describe it) the internets absolute trash ideas of what the furry community is. And I find it hard to believe that a person who spent all that effort and spoke to all those people, would have not know that. I will also add that it feels like he wanted an excuse to do something like this and say ‘oh no, it’s for the bit 😉‘. As well as that, when he did put that part near the end about how ‘furry aren’t all bad’ felt really half assed and more like a parody than anything else (especially when if it was genuine it should of been at the start of the or in parts like with the interview). Not even to mention how f***ed up and dehumanising it was to record and how this video has such main character syndrome with the crashing the dance competition. I feel like this is an example of how when people try to make fun of cringe so much they become the thing they once laughed at. I’m not even a furry btw, but this really annoyed me in all honesty.

There's a reason the whole half-assed 'furries aren't so bad' segment is toward the end of the video. If you're not paying too close attention to the video or have it playing in the background while doing something else, your takeaway will just be "oh he thinks furries are a little weird but still thinks they're cool, that's nice." None of the REALLY shitty things he does at the con sticks because they all come sandwiched between the fake evenhanded intro and a laughably disingenuous closing statement. It's manipulative editing. And yeah it's SUPER telling that he doesn't actually mention a single person in the community that he was friends with during the 200 day lead up, or have any kinds of examples of him interacting with the community before the con outside of his TikTok account where he just... RPs as what he assumes a furry is alone and starts fake beef with KZreadrs he already knows. Like the implication is either he DID have some actual friends that cut ties when they realized he was just using them for content (like really, not a single one of them was willing to give a statement or even get a shout-out in the video?), or he made 0 friends and felt too embarrassed to say so.

Crazy they didn't consider that giving business cards, in an attempt to get invited to an orgy, would result in them being invited to weird chats As if those aren't the only kind of people who would not just throw these away Also, the apology's obviously a huge fucking lie lol "I wasn't trying to perpetruate stereotypes about furries" THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT THE VIDEO IS ABOUT

My main gripe is that he made the party "the goal" which completely put it up on some pedestal like it was the only thing that mattered even though there was plenty of other positive stuff going on. If the whole video wasnt framed around the party then I feel like the rest of his experiences would of came through as fun and maybe his 8/10 rating might of had some sway power to people on the fence about the community, but his way of creating the content by bouncing between good things and silly cringe stuff like faking getting swatted, calling his mom, crashing the dance, etc just completely drowns it out and ruins the fact that he got super involved and seemed to have fun.

Literally, and he frames it as if he asked for consent from all parties but it’s clear he didn’t, what makes it more obvious that he didn’t is that someone in the room SAW the video and asked him for it to be cut out. Can’t be more cut and dry

I saw the video before it got cut and it was basically just anthony going to the party he was invited to, getting naked in bed with the others, getting invited to one upstairs from that one, and then joined a guy in riding some guy's leg. crazy visual, but im glad he cut it out. those people still deserve privacy 😭

Dude actively looked for an 0rgy, acted surprised when he found some and on top of that, actually went to 2 of them even though nobody was forcing him to. Only to make fun of them like he wasn't the weirdo youtuber in the room recording it.

OMG HE EDITED DOWN THE VIDEOOOOO. basically, he went to 2 parties. he didn’t film the first one, as everyone was naked, he undressed fully and got in bed, sandwiched between several other people. then, one of the people at that party went to another party, which he invited anthpo to. so, he put his clothes back on, went to the other party, where the people were, instead, only in their underwear. there was someone in a large cow suit, and there was someone in underwear straddling one of the cow’s legs, so anthpo stripped down to his underwear and did the same to the other leg. then, someone brought up that they had a strap-on they wanted to test on someone, and then he ditched the party and went back to his room. the second party was partially filmed, when he was straddling the cow’s leg, and the first one was re-interpreted by a rudimentary 3d animation with what i assume were animal crossing characters as he voiced-over what happened. ima be honest, when watching the video for the first time, it did rub me the wrong way. wanting to “infiltrate” the furry community is perfectly normal for youtubers to do. it happens all the time. but, infiltrating an or*y feels very VERY wrong. everyone in those rooms are there for a good time, and are sharing pleasant moments with eachother. but anthpo was there for content. i can’t imagine how embarrassed i would be after, knowing that i had fully exposed my own nude body to someone who was just there to be judgmental and put the events of the or*y into a video for content. i understand that the filming portion was what most people were concerned with, but the unfilmed voice-over half was just as egregious. the fact that he put it in the video at all isn’t even entirely the problem. but the fact that he actually went to one of these, where people are supposed to be fully comfortable with everyone in the room, when he was actually just doing it for content, feels like manipulation and deception. he made these people comfortable enough with him to invite him to have sex with them, when he actually was just doing it for views. it feels like when the cool girl/guy at school tries to get in bed with the weird girl/guy at school, just to “see if they’re actually that weird”, or to prove something, or to start rumors. it feels disgusting, and boarderline rap*ish. it’s awful edit: also, im curious to know how the aftermath went. he seemed to have made pretty good friends with several people at the con, and, as he showed, they even flirted with him. i wonder if he saw these people as real people, or if he just saw them as a “byproduct” of doing this “experiment”, and he ended up just ghosting all of them when he got his content. i’m suspecting it’s the ladder. once again, to go back to a school comparison, it feels like if someone was doing a science fair project on social cliques, and to test their theories, they sat with each social group at lunch for 1 or two weeks. and to get accurate results, they had to pretend to be interested in being friends with each one of the cliques during the experiment. but once the experiment was over, and the student was ready for the science fair, they stopped talking to all of their new friends cause they were just a catalyst for the good grade. once again, this feels very deeply of manipulation and deception. you either have to be deeply unintelligent, or boarderline evil to not have seen the issues with doing a video like this, before you did it. he had to have known he would make friends, so he either didn’t consider the fact that he’d have to keep the friends for the sake of not being an asshole, or he knew all along that he’d ghost every last one of them once he was finished with his routine content farm.

As an Anthpo fan who originally enjoyed the furry video (unedited), who is hearing about all this. Honestly, under a more critical eye and not just “omg Anthpo returned, new video!!”, the whole nsfw party aspect just feels gross. It ruins the whole video looking back on it and makes me feel gross for enjoying the video in general. If the video never included the party segment in the first place (even with all the censorship efforts), or just had him talking about it and not show anything, I don’t think the backlash would be as bad. But the whole party aspect & it BEING RECORDED originally being there puts a bad taste in my mouth now and really disappoints me as a fan of his content. Especially that the apology he has is just on Twitter and isn’t posted anywhere else as of making this comment. Like he doesn’t mention this anywhere else and it feels really scummy imo. It was already uncomfortable to watch at first (even though I did enjoy the video as stated), but looking at it under a more critical eye with the backlash makes me feel even worse. :( Edit: Actually editing this here, He shouldn’t have went to the furry party at all. Especially given that these people trusted him enough to flirt with him and were under the guise of this being a private thing. Something not meant for the public eye and just meant for people to have a “good time”, and that being thrown in the public eye by a guy who was just doing it for content. Even if it was heavily censored. It’s extremely violating.

Clearly he didn't like the direction the Furry Dance Competition went in with it no longer involving him at all so he crashed it to desperately make it about him again Anyway I recently revisited "Disturbing students as Perry the Platypus" which I liked it the past but it had moments I didn't remember like while Anthpo is running around being disruptive he rolls around someone who says "I don't wanna be in your video", it's even captioned. He's also yelled at to get off the basketball court. Suffice to say the rose tinted glasses are off I didn't watch the Alien video but I am curious, is it as much of a dumpster fire as the furry video?

So this video started out kinda funny. Definitely wondering why my man spent 200 DAYS “under cover”, seems more like he was trying really hard. But once we get to the part where his mom wants pictures of ass from whatever bedroom shenanigans her actual flipping son is in… definitely lost me there. I think around day 10 I’d just admit that I’m a furry and have my own bedroom party, and also wouldn’t have included my mom. But that’s just me. Also crashing the dance party is essentially an F-tier stunt for attention.

If one of your concerns is how lewd furry comic smut is in the vicinity of kids who may have access to it, I agree it's something that should be dealt with. The worst thing you can do as a content creator is to decide to spend half a year undercover as a furry in order to get into a room party and film it for an audience who is, I'm assuming, below the age of 17. Like, you should not be complaining about the open access of SigmaX art when your goal is to hunt down where the furry bacchanalia is going to be held and have your viewers watch that regardless of whether or not you blurred it out.

Filmed himself buying the comic in the adult section and edited the audio and video to make it look like it was in the kid section. If, by chance alone, it was sold in the kid section, then staff and sellers REALLY need to step up their responsibilities because that's a pretty bad sign.

To see them as specimens to be judged, to participate in someone's most intimate moment, manipulating, saying he wants to be there as an equal adult when really he's participating in the most VULNERABLE, INTIMATE state a human can BE in with a toxic and honestly abusive mindset. This is honestly so fucked. Imagine if someone literally slept with you in an intimate way and later you find out they only did it because they thought you were weird and wanted to investigate. That the whole time they were looking at you with disgust or as lesser than them. This is so beyond "oh that's bad" this is "That is the bottom of the barrel pit of what you can do to someone".

I unfortunately watched the full video like 10 minutes after it was uploaded (I used to watch his old videos so I got the notification) and yeah... it was definitely not in our favor 😐

What really grind my gears is the whole "heist approach" to the parties he's trying to break in. Like these parties being the holy grail, super prestigious and exclusive. There can be fun parties and private raves that are what drive the fandom forward, even build entire communities within the fandom. (see the fandom - room party episode) The meticulous planning involved to be at these parties when he's clearly not having interest in men baffles me. Ofc it's going to be gay. Tho the business card approach is pretty good I've seen that a few times with furs giving out their card for later interaction. If you wanna go to nfsw parties look out for inofficial group chats that pretty much any con has and see if they have parties going on

In the original video, before it was edited and demonetized, he had went to a room party one where they were clothed in one where they were naked. And he filmed everything it was like I did in like clip form. And their faces were blurred. Why you could still hear audio when he wasn't talking over the clip. Very illegal sounding

At least he didn’t go around asking minors about their genitalia like A… certain KZreadr 😑

Furries shouldn't be blamed for it, but all the anti-furs are going to use the video as an excuse to be homophobic, ablest and let it reaffirm what stereotypes of furries they have. He definitely didn't research enough or put enough care in the video to not make all those "subtle" stereotypical jokes at the whole community's expense.

Apparently anthro new england check your ID when you get your con badge and children get a different type of con badge and need to be chaperoned by an adult at all times. In other words it wasn't really that big of a concern but rather just vaguely homophobia adjacent

It honestly sucks because he could’ve very well. Been trying to put a good spotlight on the fandom, but it just didn’t work out. :[ and he was so committed to getting to what he wanted. He didn’t stop to think if he should, he invaded peoples privacy and I am a minor so I cannot comment on this but he did do that and that’s not OK it violates and even if he did get permission I’m sure he didn’t tell them that he’d be making fun of them on the Internet, and even if it was just cuddling, people can recognize other peoples faces, or even their fur suits, if they chose to use those and that can get people in some hot water for frankly, doing nothing wrong, but having what adults do ;-; he definitely went about it, and the entirely wrong way and I kind of feel bad for him, but I also feel bad for the people involved. It might not have been him trying to force something but him trying to find something he was excited about but then again, why would he be excited about something something like that if he’s not in the fandom??? ;w; idk

I hit dislike to the original video after I read BarleyTheBurr's thread on Twitter and watched twice about the mess. That's why the room parties are always private.

The fact that you putted a OST Portal Stories: Mel, that was a nice touch^^

You are missing the fact that he made homophobic jokes and labeled all furries as neurodivergent and joined the furry fandom under false pretenses. He only slapped on the link to the Trevor project after being called out for posting non consensual videos in a private setting as band aid to make all better.

Guess what, filming people in intimate situations without their consent (and it has to be WRITTEN consent and clear about the intentions of the maker of the material if it's going public in any way) is actually a crime. As in jail time crime. He could have been SHAFTED HARD if the people in that party wanted to, and NOT in the fun way...

At the very least, he did originally blur everything and tone shifted every voice It's still not ideal; it's good that he removed the section entirely; but he did take precautions to hide identities

I was going to say the same thing. I feel like by cutting it out it makes people who didn’t see the original uncut version imagine the worst possible scenario of him filming the parties while if I remember right he just went to a nudist cuddle party and then left an or-gee (not sure if KZread will block it if I spell it right) before anything could happen.

I’m sure this video Anthpo made will be genuine and have no manipulative editing whatsoever. :V

funny how i am here watching this age restricted vid from a 1.7m sub channel, on a 36k sub channel.

Dude used AI Art for his character....

I’ve seen the original video and he at least went out of the way to blur everyone’s faces but the action of recording things like how he did is still scummy. He literally went out of the way to hide his phone as he (mostly) recorded the audio of the room (adding to his wrong doings as no one was aware he was recording). There weren’t any directly sexual acts as he said but he did mention that he had to get naked to enter the room (put two and two together) which adds to the sliminess of his action (being that private events like these shouldn’t be publicized without the consent of others). He really did miss a lot of steps like Beta said to get that initial video out there.

The mom wanting to see the video for the sex party was sus....like her son would have been in it ....

It's funny that's his true journey about Furries, yet it's inspiring

The first day of my first con I was invited to a room party... for 3D printing nerds. While I did have to leave early, I somewhat doubt there was an orgy after I left, even with all the alcohol provided. Also wow that was difficult to finish watching. He managed to out-cringe the furries, bravo.

Gotta Love The Age Restriction On The Original Video LOL

I am both impressed and appalled😂

Wait so your telling me if I just waited I wouldn't have seen furries in underwear DAMIT

I actually got to watch the unedited version, Beta... Anthpo certainly didn't skimp on the details of it... And the first thing that happened with the parties. Anthpo had only the audio recorded and had remade it as a 3d animation with Animal Crossing villagers. Anthony, through post-audio and the audio from the actual recording of the first party, explained that he went to the first party and as soon as he knocked on the door, he was told he couldn't come in unless he was completely naked. Then, Anthony explained how he took off his clothes, and then was invited in the room and him and a few other people were squished in a single bed together and just cuddled and talked. In the original video, Anthony actually described the experience as "kinda wholesome." Then, after a little while of being at that party, a person at the party was leaving to another party and invited Anthony to come along. And then, when Anthony got to this party, he actually got video of this one, but it wasn't a very good video, so he still remade and explained it with editing pngs. He explained that when he walked into the room of the other party, there was a tall person lying on their back in one of the beds in a full bear fursuit, and there was someone on their left leg *"thrusting"* as Anthony explained it. Then, he was invited to do the same thing, and then after a few minutes of being at that party, Anthony faked getting a call from his roommate and left. And then that's where the video goes back to the "Seeing Ben after that hour and a half was..." part. So... it was a total invasion of privacy for the furries who were involved, and I'm glad that Anthony made the right decision and cut it out.

Tbh i don't think his intention was to show amy of it in a good light, from what i saw he wanted to show it in a honest light good and bad.

Thank you for showing and telling me all the information about this video Beta Delta.

I saw the original video and from my memory he talked about some mildly innaprropriate things but nothing insanely nsfw. From what I remember someone from a party told him about a different party he could get into and so he went from that one to another and in that one some nsfw things were happening. He didn't obviously show anything drastic but he did show one or two people in fursuit in the party I'm pretty sure. This is all from memory though so I could be wrong about some details but that's what I remember.

He built up this whole thing of him leaving, having this sentimental moments in his videos and the countdown, only to be gone for a year, come back and take down both his merch site and the site with his friends and make this video And I also hate that he changed his channel banner as well as his youtube profile picture like he couldn't leave this channel to be like a time capsule

I’ve been following anthpo since literally before he graduated high school, so seeing stuff like this is just so disappointing. I saw someone say that he’s acting like the popular kid that interacts with the weird kid as a way to mock them and that’s exactly what this feels like. The way he made fake friendships to low key manipulate people into getting what he wanted so he could point and laugh when he finally “proved these parties are real” is so off putting. I’ve watched him graduate high school AND collage but he’s still seems like he’s acting like a 16 year old boy

The fact that you watched this video after he removed the recordings of the con party I feel made you not aware of just how bad it was. It was straight up a camera placed on a chair or something, in a position I imagine he just hit record and placed it there without telling anyone. He censored a lot of it, but it's still disgusting to upload that. Plus, he literally showed it to his friends completely uncensored and laughed about it. The dude is a massive scumbag

Okay, in first 2 minutes I nearly choked on my drink

I was subbed to you before and have been wondering why I haven’t seen you on my feed. I think KZread’s messing with me. Regardless, this is definitely an interesting suggestion to give me to get me to come back lol(I didn’t finish the video yet but “undercover as a furry” is not a strong start). After watch update: I’m ngl, didn’t expect him to have had footage of the party(whether or not it was sexual). His video didn’t start off bad but I agree that the undertones felt slimy to some degree, especially after he crashed the dance competition. I wish he had taken a more educational route to the video rather than what was released.

Imagine committing so hard just to get into an adult party. I'm sure that was not necessary.

As someone who saw the original full video when it first came out I was horrified of what damage it could cause to the furry community. But, as I watched your/this reaction I realized that (thankfully) Anthony cleaned up the video and took out the original rudeness and very clear oblivion to what he was doing. Thankfully the 2 minutes of the "furry party" that I saw really wasn't that bad and only was cuddling (like he said) and all faces were blurred. Still a weird and oblious thing to do but I'm glad he came out about how that could negatively affect the community and the people in the video. (thank you for listening to my rant lol)

Even with that part cut out, the video is slightly damaging for the community. The homophobic jokes of getting STDs while hyping up how uncomfy he is going to a party that he can decline, to the insinuation of furries mostly being autistic while never even mentioning the queer side (unless it's to make jokes of gay things); That won't look good to someone not in the know of furries at all, even to antis it'll just fuel what stereotypes they believe in further. It all made me slightly horrified/concerned about the conflicting messages.

Hey, you got one thing wrong that can be a bit dangerous to not address or correct, they don't just have NSFW stuff out in the open for minors to see, the con states minors need to be chaperoned, when you get your badge you need to show your ID to the staff, if you are a minor you get a different badge stating you are a minor, and you have to show your badge to both enter the artist area AND purchase stuff. If you show the minor badge, you cant buy or see the NSFW stuff. Antpo here is implying they can sell porn to minors, and you agreeing with him about this being a little whoopsie that cons need to be more careful about can put these whole cons in danger. They do check IDs, by way of checking the badges.

I think he’s like trying to document furry parties and not trying to prove that they exist

8:02 it doesnt even have fur? That's like just. A bald and naked fursuir head base?

Man, I feel my blood boil the whole time Im watching this Id give his video the remaining 2/10 from his rating of the fandom, this whole thing just felt slimy

Hey, man. Wondering if you'll ever review the entire Danny Smoke in Furry Land series after it's fully out since you enjoyed it a lot like us.

I liked anthpo before he quit, so for the video where he came back I was pretty excited, and I watched the furry video on it's debut, not thinking too hard until the whole thing was over because I just didn't want to believe that the entire thing would be negative, and then when the video ended and he didn't acknowledge any of the shit he did I was just absolutely flabbergasted; ashamed of having watched it on premiere and ashamed of having been excited for it.
