Okay, time for a really long story:
*gasp*
I picked up a copy of PC Gamer magazine for the first time a few years ago, read it through, thought it was awesome. Got more, started listening to the podcasts.
At one point in the podcasts, they mention Manhunt 2 being banned left and right (and given the AO rating in the US).
Curious as to how violent such a game would have to be, I looked up 'Manhunt 2' on YouTube.
After watching a few crappy videos about the game, I came across a rant by Ember Komodog [who, it turns out, was a fur] about Manhunt 2 (in which he mentions how Mario's a pretty bad influence on kids too, as it tells them the take 'shrooms and stomp turtles)
Subscribed to his rants, thoroughly entertained.
A bunch of time he mentions something about 'furries', 'baby furs' (and his distaste of them), 'fur suits' - all that stuff. I, of course, had no idea what he was talking about.
From there I went looking for more rants, and inevitably stumbled across 2 the Ranting Gryphon's video rants.
I later discover that he has a podcast (2 Sense, to which I am now somewhat addicted Squee)
He talks about furries all the time on the show, I didn't understand for a long time, until a letter was sent in asking what exactly a furry was.
He explains.
I got curious and looked around online.
Now I've always liked animals and stuff, and the fandom seemed like a cool place.
So I chose to stay. Tongue
And there you have it, the round-about and twisted tale of how I picked up a PC Gamer magazine one day and ended up a furry.
