Post by: iKero-chu™ on April 29, 2009, 12:26:14 PM
Have any of you guys ever "converted" friends you know in RL or even online into furries?

I've noticed latley that I have been "converting" people xD
Unintentionally.

I haven't really converted people into the fandom, but I have changed a few people's minds from against the fandom to being for the fandom, through subtle methods of persuasion.

I have also converted Misanthropes into Anthropocentrists, but that's a different topic...

That's good :'3
I try to explain to people who don't know Furry Fandom in a positive way, then I tell them how some people stereotypically see us.
:P

One of my mates wanted some info, I gave him some links... he goes searching on his own, finds a "certain" site, bang, he's into the dark side of The Furry.

Too much of a bother to list all the people I've converted... But it's good fun converting them ^^

Kayle converted me when I was still active on furtopia. Originally I was there as someone he could talk to and one day bam I saw Kindran in a dream and was converted.

Indeed, I did convert Kindran.  I also converted one of my younger cousins, and i wish I hadn't...

I have Boren's Syndrome, so I am imune to the effects of the Fur Super Cell.

I talked to my nephew about Furries, and he doesn't seem all that interested nor disgusted in the fandom, so whatever.

I turned my mate Yuuki into a furry, along with...
 

Yumé, Guardian (not on this forum), Coahtemoc, Nami (not on this forum), Jorge (not on this forum), Ryoku (not on this forum), and prolly a bunch of other people I forgot. O.o

OOH! I have a furry club meeting at lunch today! ^_^

This isn't a religion or something... You can't pop up and say "OH! I'm a furry now!" Nope. Your either a furry or not. But you can enlighten people and if they were and didn't know about furries, then ok. But otherwise, no... I'm sorry, but I think "convert" isn't the right word for it, you know? v_v

Maybe not, but we all still get the general idea, which is what matters.

True WZ.
(Smiles) Nobody I told about furries really cared, so that's better than them hating me.

it depends.. some people might start developing an interest for anthropomorphic animals when they are told about the fandom, and come into contact with them.

You forgot Tari :P (maybe?)

It looks like one of my friends is getting interested. She says she wants to be a cat furry and make her boyfriend a rabbit XD Funny thing is one of her first encounters with furries was in the bad way but she understands it and still wants to try it out

Sounds sorta like what happened to me. XD

I came into High school with this idea to create a furry club, and sure enough I found a group that wanted to get into the fandom.... so I introduced them to the furry world :3

Well, I was just recently converted by one of my best friends, so I guess its quite easy really once they know what the communities about and if they share some of the intrests like art or RPing :)
