@Calistaa said in What’s your Furry story?:
…Playing animal related mobile games and getting called a furry while growing up
(only makes me realize that people don’t know what a furry are and are just stupid,)
My fucking grammar

“what a furry are” -sen, 2023

@roxane Interesting. So how do you think making characters irl would end up later in life? Do you see that being something you do long-term?
Goofbread🍌😸 Don’t worry, I like reading long comments lol.
“Furries are nothing more than a human being that is aware of who they are as a person and DO NOT THINK THEY’RE ANIMALS.”
I seriously thought people literally identified as animals, not going to lie xD But interesting to know. But do you think people do sort of want to be an animal…? I’m curious what you think.
“She was absolutely disgusted with me.”
Probably because of the furry stigma. But I don’t actually blame her to be frank. It sounded crazy to me. Especially when it sounded like it was just a sexualized community. How did you translate wanting to be a cat at the time to wanting to be a furry? Did you ever wonder if it was just a phase? And what attracts people to playing an animal character?
-
@Duchess well I think it would be long term because I became a furry at 11 and still am one also this is what we make
-
Goofbread🍌😸 Wow.
-
@Duchess There are actually people who identify as… Animals… It’s quite strange in my opinion, but if I say anything, I’ll get canceled because “Anyone can be anything” :/
The name of these people is Therians. I have a friend that identifies as a “palace cat”
“How did you translate wanting to be a cat at the time to wanting to be a furry?”
Well, back then I was obsessed with cats. And when I found out that furries were basically people as animals, I thought that I could get a fursuit and pretend to be a cat. But I eventually passed that phase, thankfully.
-
Goofbread🍌😸 Ohh okay. So do you still say you’re a furry though…?

@Duchess Yes, of course! Furry for life.
I’m planning on becoming a fursuit maker!
In case you were wondering,
Fursuits are hand-crafted and personalized for each person.
They can take from months to years to make, cost about a minimum of 5,000, and can go all the way to 20,000, depending on the materials made, the complexity, the style, and the maker.
Since a lot of the fursuit makers now are getting older, it’s vital for new fursuit makers to come and take their place, so that’s where I come in. I’m planning on practicing and becoming a fursuit maker around the age of 18 when my parents can’t stop me from doing what I love. Sadly, that will be in another three years, but I can wait!
Being a furry is really fun and is a great opportunity for artists who enjoy animals and want to let out their creativity.
I’m not trying to convince people to become a furry, don’t get mad at me for that. I just want people to realize the furry fandom is not a bad thing, and more of the small portion of people who choose to be bad, like the zoophiles and pedos.
-
this is why i love the anti-furry
-
@scarlet-lol To be honest, this is what makes me upset because everyone thinks furries are zoophiles. I don’t mind people being upset about it, but I did manage to get a portion of my school to at leat tolerate and not hate furries, so that’s a plus, right?
-
Sapphire!!! It’s okay if you feel uncomfortable hiding things, I understand. I’m still hiding the fact that I’m in a lesbian relationship with Misty, or @SM9118Studios to my parents.

@That-dude Honestly, nobody cares. This topic was made to talk about the positive side of furries, not the negative. This comment you posted is irrelevant and is considered putting hate and discrimination against someone’s interests, so you’re being reported. Sorry :)
