Yeah, as a group, furries have been some of the nicest "hobbyists" I've ever run with.
Back about eight years ago, I was in Pittsburgh during a furry convention. It was so damn fun hanging out around the city with the furries just casually enjoying themselves. Every day, up and down the elevators, there would be people suited up and just happy.
The experience took me from bring pretty much neutral on the matter, a kind of "it's a free country" thing, to being glad furries are a thing. And I am! The idea of all these people dressing up and having fun makes me happy
Speaking of, Anthrocon actually just wrapped up this year. You should go next year! It's always a blast!
If there's ever one closer to home, I plan on going with my kid. They've got s couple of online friends that have fursuits, so there's been a good bit of curiosity. Too dang hot here in the south for much in the way people wearing them away from group stuff indoors lol
At this point there's a con happening all over the country all throughout the year. Dunno where "south" is for you but the big one I know about is Texas Furry Fiesta in Dallas in March.
Granted Texas has like 4 of them going nowadays by itself lol.
Oh rad! Keep your eyes peeled for conventions!
yes sure!! ah. i'm so happy that you enjoyed it yea!! i know furry friends in real life and yes they put their fursuits on and stuff and it's so awesome and we share stickers and webcomics whatever. and yes. the usa is so awesome and free oh i really like that
