Being a furry
« on: March 19, 2017, 09:16:08 PM »
Hey guys! just thought I would ask a general question for everyone.


What is/are your favourite thing(s)/part(s) about being a furry?


I'll tell you mine:


I love being able to talk to all of you guys and I love drawing my fursonas in my spare time, I really love them to bits and don't know why I didn't become part of this absolutely fantastic fandom sooner.


Answer away! ;)

It's hard to say, really, I have enjoyed everything about being a furry so far, but if I had to chose one favourite thing, it would be creating fursonas and, at times, feeling like I really am them.

I like looking at other people's pictures and creations.  It makes me cheer up.  Especially if they are super cute.

I'd say furries themselves if I wouldn't have spent so much time on sites like Omegle dealing with degenerates.

I like the sense of belonging and general acceptance. The art is a bonus.

I like how art-focused it is. I can share my art with people who appreciate it, and see lots of other people's cool art.


I also like how friendly and accepting furries tend to be.

Love what you said here, I like going to conventions and seeing everyone express themselves. I also love how much support there are for the fandom's content creators. I also really like the term "witch hunting" that people have been using in order to make people think twice before calling someone out on a blame of some kind.

Most of my focus as a furry is online roleplay, though I am starting to branch out into art (my previous avatar is my first attempt at art of my fursona). I certainly chat a bit with people online, though I'm not all that great at breaking the ice in person.

Here's more or less my reasons:

Friends!
A place to belong!
Being myself!
All the creative awesomeness!

I originally joined here because of the interest in anthropomorphic animals, and I didn't really have any expectations. However, I quickly grew to love the art and the community as well. And of course the idea that anthropomorphic animals are real does still play a mayor role in it - you should've read my thoughts when I saw a furwalk for the first time! On the inside, I'm still a kid... partly.

It's simply another avenue for me to express myself.


I like both sides of the art, which is what drew me to the fandom at first. I'm starting to like the community, too.

Being able to share a common interest with people, and making friends.
Also, actually socializing is sweet
