Anyone in your family know you're a furry?

[Fluffyfox]

Yes, my family knows. My bro and I are both furs, although that's no surprise since we're twins and all. My father took it oddly he goes "Whatever makes you happy! If you like to f*ck in animal suits, be my guest!" He saw that CSI episode. My mother took it far better. She actually got interested in the art and all the goings on in the fandom, after initially being weirded out by it. She even asked to see some of my yiff collection. It was weird, but really cool. :3

 

[Wait Wait]

that sounds really awesome

 

[otto888]

No one in family knows and I'll try to keep it that way.

 

[RetroCorn]

my parents know, ended up telling them last week.

they didn't realy care tbh.

 

[Thohi Torok]

Yeah, they all know. Everyone around me knows.. They don't all understand, but that's a different story..

 

[Orion928]

my older brother does, and hes a bit disturbed by it too XD. my sister and mother also know, but my sister has no freakin idea what a furry is and my mom could care less because she enjoys the novels =P

such easy going families i really wish i was open to what i like with the people around me... I used to be really open to my friends about a lot of things, but ever since we got even closer, i started holding things back... not only does my family not know I have an interest in these kinds of things, but I highly doubt they know I'm gay too considering alot of my habits hehe...

lol, at least you can manage to hide your sexuality xD I can't...

as for the topic, yea... in a sense... my brother decided he'd be an ass and look through my computer one day, and I caught him looking through my yiff section of my pictures folder. I doubt he knows what a furry is though... all he was probably thinking was, "wow... sonic has a dick?!" 0_o'''

that was awkward enough, and I dun intend on telling my family I'm a furry

Heh, similar story with me...

Damn 'rents decided to raid my hard drive again--for the third time--a couple years back...and they found my Freya stash, among other things...

Not only did they throw me in therapy, they deleted the whole thing! And I'd looked long and hard for those pics back then, too...didn't know about FA in those days, you see, and I couldn't get to fchan or the now-defunct freyayiff_Groups from my home connection 'cuz of their mid-Victorian prudery (there manifesting itself in the form of a keylogger + screencapture utility that activated every 3 seconds)...so anyway, they're idiots, and I refuse to tell them.

My closer friends all know, though.

 

[Khato]

Pfft, everyone knows I'm connected to the fandom somehow. Everyone.

My sister is a bigger furry than I. Right down to the ears and tail on clothing. My dad wholeheartedly supports me drawing animal cartoons. Right down to wanting to display my work on the walls of his pub.

I mean, heck, I'm not into any kind of weird stuff associated with the fandom, but it doesn't seem like a very big deal. "Oh, you draw cartoon animals? That's nice." is the average reply.

here's an idea... keep your stash in files within files within files and have them hidden inf your windows files, also, as far as keylogging and screencaptures go,might i suggest Avira antivir and windows malware, i'm sure they'll take your parents "security" as malware

that is so not fair TT_TT my dad kicked me out for coming out to him as a furry, and I dun plan on telling my mom... she handles things... very bad

my brother was just... wtf?! and we never spoke of it again.

It helps that my family is very, very liberal, and I don't actually have an interest in furry porn. That stuff is alien to me. All the stuff I show, and have on my walls, and talk about, is completely nonsexual.

So uh, I guess I'm in an easier position than some of you.

I think my parents suspect it, or know but just don't say anything. I accidentally left one of my stories up on my computer when I left for school, and my mother went to clean my room. I got home and she made the comment, "Good story, it needs a little editing though." I nearly had a heart attack. Either way, I don't think they would be too happy if they found out.

 

[Torrijos-sama]

Same as you... What the people don't know can't hurt them.

 

[Merp]

My parents and sisters dont even know what a furry is...besides if I told them what it is and that I am one... they might try to have me exercised....lol

 

[Neybulot]

I'll agree on that. Except my Mom knows a little of what furries are and from what I see, she thinks furries are freaks or something. So I'd rather not let her or the rest of the blabbermouth family know that I'm one.

 

[Pikachuninetails]

My whole family knows i'm a fur and are rather accpeting of it...the only thng i find annoying is they treat being a fur as something that my sister's cubs should not even know exists...i want my niece and nepues to know about the fur community but i'll have to wait till their older i guess and no longer controled by their parents to teach them...it's nerve racking...my sister is the only one i know of in my family who is anti-fur about the fur community...everyone esle just leaves it as a no talk, no ask thing. so by accepting i meant that they just don't give me hell about it...>.<

Oh man I lol'd at that!

I guess you're lucky. Didn't she make any mention of the fact that it was furry? It must be pretty strange to read furry stories if you're not already acquainted with them.

I would think it was weird, but I didn't want to have to explain it, and since she didn't raise the point, I wasn't going to rock the boat. I've been careful to keep anything dealing with the fandom hidden though. All my furry file names are misnomers.

 

[Baby Giraffe]

Only my sister does and she is from the internet and there fore knows EXACTLY what a furry is. I am positive that she thinks I've got some metal issues, not that I don't or anything . But it's going to be interesting when I go to school in a T-shirt that says: "I'm a furry."

OH YEAH....thats gonna be fun. XD

That's gonna get some questions asked...

 

[Drakeclaw]

My parents don't knwo what Furries are but my sister does. She doesn't care for it and thinks me a freak cause of it. I fear I will neevr be able to go to a Furcon without me comign out and tellign them the truth... I just fear them kicking me out.

 

[Gorgy]

Wow. I wonder why so many parents have issues. I know my family wouldn't take it well, so I won't even bother telling them. Knowing my dad, he would probably go mentally insane. With my mom, it would just be awkward (She watches CSI and browses the internet when she hears about something interesting or strange....). I even fear showing my sketches just because of the stuff on the media. It isn't worth it.

 

[Pikachuninetails]

it's fucked up that we have to hide ourselves in the dark...persoanlly i don't...i would rather be known and hated for what i am...then walk up to someone and tell thm what i am them go: what's a fur?*facepaws* i've heard that so many times i wanna pull my fur out! I am personally tied of the fur community not being known...and i am wanting to make us widely known thoughout the usa to start off...but meh...it won't work if no one willback me up..so i'll just shut up now...
