How old were you when you became a Furry?

[ZoroarkThingNG]

I was 20.

 

[Faexie]

21. I'm still that age lol

 

[CrookedCroc]

23.
I was never interested in being a furry/part of the furry fandom until a recent interest in cute stuff like Sanrio characters and stuff like that.

What can I say, I love cute animals specially if they have cute hats

127

 

[Toby_Morpheus]

15 or 16.
Don't remember exactly.

My first ex bf exposed me to it though.

 

[DimskyTheOwl]

12-13.
My friend in 6th grade pretty much exposed me to the idea of furries, then the warrior cat fandom was the gateway to me finally becoming one.

And well, the fact all I really drew were animals since a kid.

16.

I didn't know what furries were or that they existed until I watched an "I Hate Everything" video. He couldn't pinpoint what exactly he disliked about furries, so I checked it out and I instantly became a furry.

One of a handful of cases where negativity generates the opposite of the intended effect.

 

[Sunburst_Odell]

I was 14, I'm 16 now.

 

[Skychickens]

13 once I was allowed on the internet and learned what it was. Twas a long ass time ago.

 

[SnackyFluff]

I think I was like around, 16. I remember jumping into the fandom pretty fast x3! And here I am today, still very Furry as a 21 year old!

 

[Tyno]

12 i think

 

[Slytherin Umbreon]

I think I was 23.
24 now.

 

[tigerjieer]

Less than two months ago, so 16. I've watched fursuit videos for some time, but only started learning about this fandom after using Mastodon (which has a higher-than-usual concentration of furries). First furry website visited: WikiFur.

I was about 14 when I discovered the furry fandom, but only got involved in it when I was 25, which was a little over a year ago.

I was 24 or 25 when I discovered the fandom, but I was drawing animal-headed characters long before that. In fact, I still have some furry doodles that I drew when I was 12 or 13.

 

[HistoricalyIncorrect]

12 and I will not lie about it i started with yiff video... for quite long time it was only this for me. Then I grew older and started to discover fandom more. I became full time furry around 2-3 years ago when i was 21 but i made account over here in may this year I think

 

[Aika the manokit]

9. Cuz I fell in love with an anthro bunny sorceress

 

[Fowler Wolf]

I'm not quite sure at what point you are officially a furry or can consider yourself a furry, but I've been consuming furry related content since middle school. However, I never actually created a fursona or even admitting to liking furries until 18.

 

[Fruitythebeetle]

in elementary school i about learned furries. didn't become an out and out furry until 2016.

 

[MetroFox2]

15/16 years old, discovered artists like Culpeo Fox and Olaffson on DA, loved their art and from there I explored that kind of art until I accepted that I was furry trash some year and a half later.

 

[Pogo]

25, random circumstance led me here but Cartoons and old comic books with anthro characters was already something indulged in.

 

[Nihles]

Starfox was my first crush, roughly 15 years ago. I didn't have an out-and-out sona until well after college; I was scared of being associated with the fandom because it had such terrible visibility and reputation where I grew up.

12 and I will not lie about it i started with yiff video... for quite long time it was only this for me. Then I grew older and started to discover fandom more. I became full time furry around 2-3 years ago when i was 21 but i made account over here in may this year I think

Same with me.

Furries: come for the porn, stay for the people.

 

[Joni]

I was 20.

Also 20

 

[Wollymon]

Around 9 i'd say, in 5th grade...
I was obsessed with this fandom, among other things such as Pokemon (which is kind of how I found it)
Still a proud furry though
