I'm happy being me, and part of that is choosing an animal avatar so to speak to represent me.

Sports fans wear jerseys of their favorite teams, doesn't mean they're unhappy being themselves and not pro players.

Also, to be on topic (sorry!), I figured I'd mention not to smoke spice in a fursuit. My good friend caught himself on fire blasting off in a Northface fleece, so I can only imagine the safety risks of a fursuit.

EDIT: He's fine btw, I was there to put him out.

I always say, "whatever floats your boat!" If people want to get furry and funky, so be it!

Oh I hear you..

The higest expression of the self available is with true love. But, contrary to insecurity, I find that absolute security with myself and my love provides a framework for beautiful play and self expression - Art of the highest order.

i actually think this is pretty cool, socks are a great idea. i have this massive custom feather blanket with psychedelic white sunflower cover that my grandmother sewed years and years ago for my father. so warm if there was a kikker suit id totally wear it all the time. in winter atleast

For some, sure, the furry community is about sex.
For some, it's about just being something different for a time, and then pulling the suit off at the end of the day
For some, its just a bit of fun.
For some, they feel a spiritual connectedness with their animals (or fursonas) and enjoy expressing that.
And who knows what other reasons there is out there for people to enjoy it.

It's not something that's 'new'. There have been people dressing up as animals far beyond recorded history. Often 'shamans' and 'medicine men' etc have partaken in this stuff on the spiritual side of things..

Well, I had job in a furrysuit once. It was a very popular furry too and got paid to pose pictures with people all the time. Very hilarious especially I was only wearing shorts inside cause it was so hot... But I looked like a penguin so no-one noticed.

I have removed the sentiment and drama from this thread.

Please be more tolerant of other peoples life choices, be that wearing a furry suit or taking entheogens. Even if you do not understand why other people make choices different from yours does not mean they aren't valid by default.


Kind regards,
