!!Help!!
« on: February 16, 2016, 11:06:52 PM »
I kinda... um... Have a little trouble here.
So I have been wanting to make a fursuit (of a green MLG fox) But I have a problem!
My mom will not let me...
I don't have a phone. I have a little cash. I know how to make a fursuit. I am an artist. I have no idea how to convince my mother to get me one!
She tell's me, "I watched an episode of CSI (A crime show) That had those in it and they are creepy!"
And I still have 5 year's to stay here before I can legally move out[size=78%]![/size]
If anyone can tell me a way to convince her to let me make one, please comment[/size][size=78%]!!![/size]
[/size][size=78%]( And in case you  didn't know, I am NOT a pervert, fursuits just look really, really cool. )[/size]

Ugh from what I've heard about that csi episode it was completely full of fur bashing junk. The only thing I could think of is try to show her that furries aren't all creepy. I don't know if that helps :c

Sorry to say, but from the sound of it, you might be too young for a suit to begin with. There's no point in spending such a massive amount of money on something that won't fit after a few years.


I'd wait until you can get yourself situated and pay for it yourself. Your height and build would probably stay as they were at that point as well. There aren't many points where you'd be allowed to wear the thing at the moment either, so that would be another reason to wait.

Thank you for the reply! I haven't really thought about that yet... So that sounds good...

I understand your frustration.
If I was in the same situation I'd be pretty upset too.
It's not the fact that she won't buy you a fursuit but rather the reasoning behind it.
Just know I'm here to provide an insight for you as best I can.


As HollowOfHaze suggested, you might want to think about investing in a fursuit further down the road.
It's a sad truth to hear, especially while you are so excited to get a fursuit, but always ask those who've gone before you.
In other words, there are many reasons why people may suggest certain things to you and it's usually because they have learned from experience themselves. I'm sure you're aware that suits are expensive but at an early age they can be even more "costly" because you'd eventually grow out of one and have to pay for a new one all over again!


Ugh, I hate that fact, but it's true. So you're going to have to bite your tongue for now..
But I say you may be able to look into alternatives! I mean yeah, you can't afford a fursuit now but.. what about cheaper methods of expressing your furry side? I've got a nice white wolf tail that I occasionally walk around with. I hook it to my back belt loop and it sways around seamlessly! You wouldn't believe the amount of compliments I've received for wearing the thing around town, seriously!


How about ears even? they're adorable and I'm sure you can find some online. Google is your friend!


So all of that is entirely up to you but now I want to speak to you about the concern your Mother has for the Furry fandom.


She has every right to be worried. I  cannot condone what certain TV shows portray us as but you must keep in mind that it's a parent/guardian's duty to protect their kids. Sometimes a parent's reasoning behind their actions seems a bit unnecessary but through experience I've learned that they are trying their best. So try and not get upset at her for not understanding what you're into but give it time, she eventually will. I know it took me a couple years to convince my family that being a furry is not what they thought it was.
I did research, I showed them videos and even had to explain in my own words what being a "Furry" is all about.


So in conclusion, have some patience and look into alternative ways you can exercise your furry side.
And maybe show her some videos explaining what furrys are. Sometimes it takes a third party opinion to sway someone's outlook.

Cheers

Yeah, you do have a good point there.  :/

Get a Kigarumi, they're like you skinned your furry and slapped em on. You can get it baggy too and pass it off as PJs.
