I will give a better answer than my one in september... Well any signs there may have been, and i can point out a few, i had repressed in childhood as an attempt to act older than I really was, mainly because i had always been treated in a condescending way for basically my whole life. I enjoyed a lot of things an eight year old kid would not typically enjoy, like the weather channel, but there was a little part of me missing. I often felt a little empty inside and of course there was some interest to a few things I had little access to, like ratchet and clank video game and I enjoyed sonic the hedgehog as a character, never video game. I never watched many cartoons after the age of 6 or 7, but ones i did watch, I enjoyed the animal characters but again, my repression kicked in and i tried to isolate myself from all things childish. Now, lets fast-forward a few years... In 2009 i think, i was 13 years old, I saw 1000 ways to die and this guy was high on shrooms wandered out into the desert and found a bunch of people in animal costumes that were described as "furries" and they were a dry humping and they had a "furry" come on the show and tell them about the "furry sex" and this guy was like 25 and looked like he played a lot of World of Warcraft ... so i naturally wanted nothing to do with it, and a couple years later I saw a yahoo answers question posted by a guy who had uncontrollable sexual desires around animals and he got an answer from someone claiming to be a "furry" and said hey, there is a community for people like you called "furries" and I am part of it and again, that drew me away from the fandom, so for 4 years, I had this picture in my head of furries being sex-crazed maniacs dry-humping in the woods... but this summer 2013, I saw a tosh.0 episode with a furry guy on the internet posting this rant, so I finally decided to look it up, and the clean art I loved! I looked into it more and found that most furs don't do all that sick perverted stuff so I slowly inched in, grew fond of anthro foxes and huskies and here I am today! Now my only issue is the same dilemma plaguing me for years, which is being perceived as "childish" or just "weird"
