Furries IRL - People you wouldn't have ever thought they were into that

[Tomias_Redford]

Why are you roleplaying with a bunch of 12 year olds?

Correction, "why did I use to rp with 12 year olds..."

Because 1. I had nothing better to do when I was stuck at home, and 2. most of them never actually said they were 12 until like...well into the rp, and by then I´m like...meh, they rp at a decent mature level (not sexual, I must emphasize this), so I don´t really mind.

 

[Grendel]

i've run into people that was obivoius they were furries, but nearly bit my head off that they arn't

Your signature is awful. I'm German and my family was forced to flee our homeland because of the Nazis and Germans of that time period. I realize you're probably at that age where you're testing social boundaries to be edgy, but your naivety abounds. What happened in Germany during WWII was a tragedy.

That's still creepy.

That's like if I just went to a school playground and stated playing with all the kids there.

It´s not creepy if you´re just a kid friendly person. I mean, is it creepy that grown men and women teach children and hang out with kids at these very same school playgrounds you mentioned? No it is not. And yes I know I may seem like a pedo rping with kids on the internet, but I unlike "real" pedophiles, had no sexual intent, and was pretty much bored and rping with whoever was on those boards.

Yeah, sorry, that doesn't mean it's not really fucking disturbing on my part.

It´s alright dude. I mean, I have a 10 year old sister, and I´m be worried if she had had communication with furries (not me of course), even if the furries in question were uber nice...

Wow, how very hypocritical. Lenin and his Bolshevik cronies are butchers just like Hitler and his thugs.

My family is partly Don Cossack and was also forced to flee its homeland after the Soviets won the Civil War. They were murderous thieves that took our land and lives, and are just as undeserving of respect as the Nazis.

I apologize for taking this so far off-topic, but I felt that needed to be said. Though, to be honest I've never met anyone whom I thought could be furry.

 

[kmn483]

I know two ppl who are rp furries, my cousin and my one of my best friends. My cuz used to hate furries (irony, lol. But only cuz of sterotypes) and my friend, i don't think he knows what a furry is, even tho i told him....

Oh Christ, don't go there.

[Blutide]

To be honest, Me.

I never thought of myself as a furry before, until six years ago. Then I kept visualizing myself as my fursona, and I was like.....wait what am I doing. Then I did some research on the net, and found this site and read a few posts, answered a few questions I had. But in the end, I am happy to be one and just never gave thought to this until six years ago.

 

[The Anarchectomy]

I can't say that I've run into someone in their furry-ness, but this one guy from my school (who is really tall and really serious) was talking about being a furry during orientation last summer; it was so awkward, looking at this big, buff, srs face thug of a dude talk about how he loves to put on his furry outfit and run around with his friends at cons. I'm not sure if he was serious, but I'm hoping it was a joke.

Why would you hope that? x.x I look pretty serious but am very sweet and open inside.... -.-

 

[Itakirie]

There be this gangster/80's kid in my school who is all kinda creepy and serious all the time.
I found out he was a furry last week when I was drawing a picture of a wolf out of boredom and we somehow got into a discussion about furries and such. XD

I had an audition once for a drum corps (hard to explain), it lasted the whole weekend and I hung out with this dude the whole time. After the audition and while of sort of finding out that I was a fur I ended getting to know his best friend really well online without realizing it. Eventually a description of me came into a conversation between them and we both realized that we were those dudes at the audition. It was really kinda this crazy small world moment.

 

[Commiecomrade]

We need a hand sign for identification. The situation would be like this:

"Hey, YOU."
"Yeah?"

He or she would either not know what hell is going on (but not finding out about your closet furriness), or would recognize it so you both would be able to be furry around each other or something.

^ I think the shocker is already taken.

maybe we could just use a cryptic question/answer confirmation

Most furries wont know the proper response/sign/handshake whatever.

Why be so secretive about it? If you think they're a furry then ask.

I mean, we're not a cult, lol. We don't need some secret method of conversing with members of our sect.

You do stuff with drum corps? *gasp*

They'll learn quickly. There are websites that have developed their own subcultures that use stuff like this, and they're not cults either. It works pretty well, and it's a great way to identify people with similar interests without revealing what those interests are to bystanders you'd prefer to keep uninformed.

 

[The_Lightning_Fox]

I wish I knew somebody else. I do have a suspect but if I were to ask and she wasn't then it would just make it more awkward. (past history)

 

[Zrcalo]

I should make a bunch of buttons that say "I'm a furry" then give them out to furries so we can identify each other.

Hmm... It'd be interesting if that actually caught on...

The straight forward approach, I like it and at the same time wouldn't take part in it. Of course there are the little things that are relatively common like, I've always seen the phipaw on someones car as a dead giveaway.

A couple years back when I was in High School, I was showing one of my friends a rough draft of this comic I used to make for my classmates about these two dogs. Jokingly, he drew a dick on one of the characters on the cover page (Which I hastily erased before I started berating him). It was only about a day later when I was making a couple of edits to the cover page that I noticed exactly how he drew it (From the barely see-able leftover graphite). It was pretty anatomically correct for a dog :I

 

[DocFGeek]

I carry around a backpack with me COVERED (we're talking platemail coverage here) in buttons, many of which are furry related to all of my classes. Just last week, while getting ready to leave class, MY INSTRUCTOR spotted my "Proud to be a Furry" button, and yelled (thankfully with most of the class gone) "What, what?! Proud to be a furry?!"

o.o

Me: "Umm, yeah. How do you know about furry?"
Instructor: "Well, I watch CSI..."
*facepalm*
Me: "Yeeeaaahh... it's nothing like that."
