It’s not my thing and I truly don’t get it. That said, I’m curious about the initial draw, how you started and why. What does participating look like to you? Do you consider it an interest, hobby, kink or some combination/something else? I support you doing whatever you like so long as everything is legal/consensual. If you’re going to comment and you’re not a furry please be respectful.
Don’t know if I’d call myself a furry, but I did go to a convention with some friends awhile back, for the experience.
My big takeaway can kinda be summed up with, “Punk’s not dead, they just all became furries”. It was a very radically inclusive space, there were tons of openly queer people, lots of very political accessories (Anarchy A or Hammer and Sickle patches, keffiyehs, one person had a hand painted tshirt that said “Death before Detransition”, etc.), and there was a very DIY, countercultural vibe to the whole thing. At one point I talked to a Skunk about his collection of old PC sound cards.
It was super cool! I’d go again
