The '''Apathetic Furs''' was an idea for a joke group suggested by [[Furry artist]] [[Brian O'Connell]] in October 28, 2000.

This was in response to an email sent by former furry artitst, [[Eric Blumrich]], submitted to [http://www.brunching.com/ Brunching.com], concerning a recent article by this site regarding [[Furries]] (a copy of this missive was posted at the same time on [[alt.fan.furry]].) While most saw the humor on the Brunching piece, they considered Eric's [[Burned Fur]] "We speak for [[Furry fandom]]" attitude out of bounds, which they express so in their responses to his AFF post. O'Connell, taking a page from the page of the creators of the "Baked Furs," decided to express his opinion of the matter in the form of another (fake) "Ideological group" fighting back the BF's interferences in the fandom.

As per O'Connell, the simple "statement" of this group was: "''Yes, you too can say 'Fuck it all' with the best of them... Join together under the banner of anarchistic apathy, to say 'Fuck you, and fuck them, stop ruining MY fun!'...''". Of course, the idea for this group never went past the "suggestion" stage.
