About
Furry and Proud is a campaign and hashtag popular on Twitter used by the Furry community to promote a Kickstarter campaign for clothing merchandise featuring the phrase.
History
On October 24th, 2019, ArtWorkTee created a Kickstarter campaign for "Furry and Proud," a line of LGBTQ friendly furry-related shirts.[1] They tweeted the link to the campaign that day.[2] As of November 22nd, 2019, the campaign has amassed over $30,000 of its initial $3,000 goal.

Online Presence
The campaign gained popularity on Twitter, which caused #FurryandProud to trend. Twitter user @Inkblitzer tweeted his support of the community amidst hate, gaining over 790 retweets and 3,700 likes (shown below, left). Twitter user @FoxDroxDeggy also posted their pride, gaining over 90 retweets and 700 likes (shown below, right).


Some, however, were not as enthusiastic about the campaign. User @PartyPrat posted screenshots from a person who spread some negative rumors about ArtWorkTee, saying they had done some negative things in the past (shown below, left). They also posted an interaction where ArtWorkTee denied that the proceeds would go to charity, which caused a Twitter user to accuse him of lying in the campaign (shown below, right).


Twitter[3] user @Kirus refuted the claims. They wrote "Here is some proof that they paid an artist a further $300 after they felt like they weren't paid enough, I should mention that censoring the Twitter Handles and Names is done as I have no way of knowing whether they want to remain anonymous or be open."
