do you wear a collar, and why or why not?

I've never worn a collar and I probably won't unless as a joke or if I am really tired/bored when I finally go to a con.

Pffft, bullshit.
If it isn't a fetish, what is it?
I'm not in it just for the porn, I like the community.
And I'm insane, there's that.
It's a hobby to some, and to some others a lifestyle.

What makes you think being a furry is purely a fetish?

I would wear one, if I didn't feel like I would lose approval from the family.~
I'm not a submissive person, but sometimes I feel it could give some one a sense of security maybe?

Erm...
I don't know.

I just always thought it was a fetish for some reason.

D.batty, I give you the highest prestige an internet user can receive:
You successfully changed the opinion of another person.

Honestly?
I don't know if, to me, furry is a lifestyle or a hobby.

I really want to go to a furcon or furmeet, and I wonder what fursuiting is like, but I don't think of myself as an anthropomorphic furry creature.
It would be cool if I could become one, but I know and accept that that will never happen.

Imo, its just an interest. But then I define "Furry" as a fondness for anthromorphic animals so I guess it really is whatever you make of it.

I have a dog tag one of my best Friends made for me it has a image of my fursona as well as the short form of my screen name nereza .. I been meaning to get a actual collar but I have yet to find the right one I might end up getting a custom one from a leather maker acquaintance who made my gauntlets and made several corsets and accessory for my sister and friends (I been meaning to buy a custom corset off of him too)

Still sad about MCR
I have yet to wear my collar anywhere but outside my house so I never got a tag for it or anything. My boyfriend and I have toyed with the idea of getting one but we have no idea what we'd want it to say. I was thinking either my fursona's name or something cute but I'm afraid that if I put something cute on it people might think we're in some sort of bdsm relationship or something when they see it.

I don't wear a collar. I might wear a choker or collar for fashion reasons, not just because I'm a furry. It's a little silly, even for me.

I want to have a collar but I haven't had the chance yet. I think it just feels kind of natural.

I think it looks good in some aesthetic ways, generally on actual furries in art...but I can't find a justification for actually wearing one. I can't even wear a hat so...

i do however wear army-style dog tags and I've seen a couple of people on FA that do ones with artwork of your character on them. i might get a pair of them

If I were to get anything it'd probably be dog tags. A collar looks really uncomfortable and I've yet to meet someone who looks good in a collar. (Just from personal experience to the people who have collars!)

I wear a black studded collar to school everyday. Most people think i'm just punk.
they don't know the real reasons i wear it >:)

I don't wear a collar... sorry, but I'm not a pet. Sometimes though, I do think that certain people need to be put on a leash...

People wear collars? Okay... if I see someone who puts his/her name and such on it, even a bell of some type, I might laugh my ass off. :V There isn't anything "wrong" with it, but whoever wears them is just askin' to be targeted for alienation and ridicule.

almost certainly.

I literally have a whole jewelry chest full of collars! I used to think I had two chins, because I had some serious body issues, but now I have them just because I look so damn good in them~
None have tags. If I had a tag it would be like, dog tags and not an obvious animal tag. I have one tag that says 'Fuck Authority' but thats it.

i would have liked a collar when i was a little 13 year old piece of goth shit but now i'm like eugh.

the idea of being 'collared' makes me uncomfortable. you see people wearing them like 'it means that i belong to my lover <3' and it just grosses me out. like, you don't belong to anyone, you're your own person dogg why you gotta degrade yourself like that? i understand that that's the point when you do it for fetishy reasons, but it skeeves me out really bad when people do it without even having the bdsm excuse.

maybe i'm just disgustingly dominant and independent and it weirds me out when people aren't like me i dunno
