1. Looks hot under there

[Kablooie]

2. That's why they do it. They think other Furries are hot.

13. Not as much as you would think

Furmeets aren't orgies.

3. Most wear these just to be silly.

Some do wear them for sexual reasons.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

14. See my post above

Sex is not the main focus for furmeets.

[Archae]

23. Oh, I know that.

I go for the pin-up type art, myself.

I do have a "feathersona," as opposed to "fursona."

"Archae," an anthro archaeopteryx.

But I don't have any costume, just a lot of good furry artwork.

25. Archaeopteryrex's

27. Shawntae Howard drew my "feathersona" several years ago.

28. He is beautiful

And your feathersona rawks

[Archae]

30. Thanks, I like yours too.

[sinkingfeeling]

4. I only like the white wolf. All the rest are cartoonish.

[trof]

5. Hard for me to believe that this is a 'thing'.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

7. Furries are everywhere

I'm a furry.

Here's my fursona.



This is my leather mask.


Can't afford to make a fursuit. I tend to like realistic style. Just not realistic colors.

[IcyPeas]

20. Wow, you made that mask?

[I_UndergroundPanther]

26. Yep wore it to my very first pride when

I came out as transgender in 2010.

6. Social media fuels and exacerbates this sort of histrionic narcissism

Everyone's free to do as they please, but don't expect me to acknowledge, play along with, or celebrate it.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

8. Some furries are narcissists

But a lot of furries I know are not narcissists or histrionic.

I identified as a feline soul long before the web existed. I am 55.

In elementary school
I wore a furry jacket everyday and I wore shirts with cat pictures on them a lot.

When my cousin and I would play together I was a rainbow lion.

In middle school I would wear a furry hood with cat ears.
I also made and wore a cat tail.bought new tails for Halloween.

To this day I wear cat stuff. I have a small collection.

Bullies got in my shit over it in school. But they got in my shit for every damn thing .

I learned very early to tell them to fuck off and if nessesary I could cause them pain in a fight if started.

When I go out catted up , I get compliments people seem to respect the creative and fun aspect of it.

I adore cats. I relate to cats better than people.

[Ron Obvious]

10. As long as you know you're not really a feline or expect me to acknowledge you as one

I have no issues. I like cats.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

11. I have a feline soul

I'm not physically a cat. Wish I could be one though. If I could be feline I would jump at the chance so fast you would hear a Sonic boom.

[IcyPeas]

21. Cats Rule!

[Skittles]

9. I think they are bizarre

but I think the world would be so boring if no one ever got their freak on. So, CARRY ON!!

[I_UndergroundPanther]

12. Yeah

Sadly there are anti furry bigots on DU.
Wish they'd try harder to get over it. Same thing with having a lot of tattoos.
Some people got a cob up thier ass about it.

[csziggy]

15. I don't find them any more bizarre than Sc Fi fans who dress up as storm troopers

Or historic recreationists who recreate anything from Romans, to Middle Age personas, or American Civil War, or any other of the groups that like to dress up in funny costumes and have gatherings with people of like mind.

There are much worse things people could do, like storming the US Capitol to stop the functioning of our government.

I agree with you, the world would be so boring if no one ever got their freak on.

** Note: In my past I was a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism in which the members create personas that could have existed between 500 and 1500 AD. We'd dress up in funny costumes, have mock battles, and grand feasts. The group keeps getting larger and the costumes more elaborate and authentic. I also made a killer Gandalf costume for my husband to wear to DragonCon years ago (my husband's big bragging point is that he was introduced by George Takei!). So I have some sympathy for this sort of role playing concept.

[Skittles]

16. yes, I find all those folk bizarre

but none of them are as fucked up as people who cannot get over a war they lost over 150 years ago

[Aristus]

18. I agree. It's not my kink. But if it brings joy without causing sorrow, power to them.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

22. Not a kink thing

With me it is identity and what my spirit is.

Alot of furries have no kink but see themselves as I do.

It's called being Otherkin.

[Ocelot II]

17. An unusual but harmless hobby.

Those costumes look awfully hot, though. Maybe the best time and location for a convention would be Reykjavík in January.

[MustLoveBeagles]

19. Cool costumes

It's not my thing but they aren't hurting anyone so I don't see the harm in it.

[vercetti2021]

24. Idk why people make a huge deal about furries

Live and let live. If they like dressing up as anthropomorphic animals. Let em. They aren't harming anyone.

[Earth-shine]

29. Wow! They have really upped their game.

Not my thing.

I try not to judge. I still own a Star Trek uniform and gratefully, can still fit in it. Halloween, here I come.
