FOR THE SAKE OF OUR SANITY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO "COME OUT" AS FURRY!

[Glitch]

Well I told my mum and she just said it was cute, so meh. She'll probably tell my dad and then everything will work out..

SEE PEOPLE?
THIS IS WHAT TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU TELL YOUR PARENTS WHEN YOU ARE A FURRY.

I think my cousin got a little curious after watching the CSI episode the day they re-aired it, and thought about going to a con :|

Oh my.
Stop your cousin at all costs.

 

[Freedoh]

I agree, its just a hobby, more of a life style to others but its not like that, no one should be ashamed of being a furry anyway, cuz its to much fun being one.

Its fun to be one, sure.
But the lifestylers make a big deal and catch the eyes of the media.

Then they make the whole fandom look like they all think they're animals.

Sure, I look at furry porn and enjoy it. I fantasize occasionally, but I know I'm human. All good with that.
And I don't scream that I like that to the general public.

 

[sushi xbl]

i agre with this. some people i know feel like if they're going to be gay and come out they also have to come out as a fur, as if it really matters on the same level

i agree with that too ^
from what i have seen the attention the fandom has attracted from the media dosent reflect very well

 

[Bundi]

I'm not going to flame, becuase I agree with you ENTIRELY. It's not like you've committed murder or something! Sure, it has all the fetishes and such, but doesn't everything else?

 

[Eafeg]

I just came out of the fur closet...

...

Sorry. Couldn't resist. I would think that most people here would be furry or fur related as... this site is... for people... with an affinity for fur...*mind explode*

*gathers up brain gore* But yeah. I totally agree with the OP.

 

[RageDragon]

Okay, let me say this before I get even more pissed off.

You DO NOT need to "come out" as furry! It is a fucking hobby!

A-fucking-men.

I have some fetishes. None of them are really too out there and/or illegal IRL.
Fuck, I even consider parts of the furry fandom as fetishes. (The mature drawings/stories/roleplaying do fall under that bracket)

Not fursuiting, though. The only thing that gets me hot and wet over fursuiting is sweating my ass off.

So many people agree with me! :'D

 

[Willow]

Oh my.

He probably wouldn't do that anyway

It would mean he'd have to drive all the way out to Chicago just to observe a bunch of people in animal costumes

Ew.
I hate Illinois.

 

[Willow]

Ew.
I hate Illinois.

:c

But it's where I lives

 

[ransomluv]

I'm cheap and I want to make sure I get the most of you fuckers as possible with each bullet.

i thought this line was awesome made me laugh

 

[Stargazer Bleu]

I think my cousin got a little curious after watching the CSI episode the day they re-aired it, and thought about going to a con :|

Oh my.
Stop your cousin at all costs.

Cons are fun to go to, but if your cousin is basing it off of CSI then that cant be a good thing.
I would say stop him too if that is the reason for interest.

 

[Albino-Kitsune]

Ew.
I hate Illinois.

Hey, Illinois doesn't suck that hard. I mean, every place has some suck, and Chicago has the most potential of suck, but it doesn't even suck that hard. (Only Boystown does~ WHOO!)
MFF is a great con to go to, by the way, for a first con. Not too big, not too small.


Uh, anyway, to barge into the conversation, uh, fuck yeah.
No one needs to come out as their hobby. I don't see train model enthusiests and their family crying and yelling over the many nights lost in the basement to their dirty and filthy hobby. =P
It's just silly.

My family knew I drew 'animal people'/'demons', but as far as knowing about the fandom, they're kinda clueless and couldn't give two fucks. =P
They just think I'm some weird game nerd with an art talent I waste on stupid shit. But that's why I moved away from Maryland to Illinois. I moved for college and was plesantly surprised to learn of the large furry populous in the area.

Thinking back, some people knew I was furry before I did. The one that first asked was going off of what she knew of CSI. At the time I was in denial and told her I didn't know what this 'furry' she mentioned was, but that it sounded weird. About a year later though, I changed my mind.


I would like to say I'm more of a lifestyler, but I don't go to hardly any cons. I went to MFF in 2007, that's it. Trying to go this year though.
But, truth be told, I don't know where I would be in life had I not come across this fandom and the friends I have made in it. I highly doubt though it would have been as fun or full of people though.

 

[Glitch]

:c

But it's where I lives

Oh yeah?
I still dun like it. :V

i thought this line was awesome made me laugh

Yay.
And thanks for not quoting the whole wall of text like many have.

My parents think the same way.
They're like "DRAW SOME TREES OR BUILDINGSSSSS!"
No. Trees and buildings are boring as fuck. I'll stick with animals.

 

[Sky Striker]

Bwup. Yeah, I agree with the OP. I only bring the fandom into my daily life to I don't bash my head against the wall out of boredom instead. Tell you parents about it, or don't. It was as awkward as hell for me though.

I do fantasize about being a furry a lot, but that's just because I fantasize about everything ever all the time. My mind just has to be constantly active I don't really believe I've got a wolf inside me.

Anyway, QFT, FTW, etc. etc.

I think Imma like it here. Meheh.

 

[grygon]

lmao, i am so glad i saw this. it made me lol.

 

[RainLyre]

Oh yeah?

Do it. I just want to see how awesome tree and building porn is.

...Someone will probably rule34 this.

Draw trees and buildings as a background image, with animals as the main focus.
Or animals destroying a building.

Well, what they mean is the tree/building as the main focus.

If only I were into Macro/Micro.

 

[RLR]

I told my friend about this thread, he's one of the people who think they need to "come out" so his reply was, "So? Just because a lot of people say it, doesn't make it important."

He'll learn one day...
