Are Career and Furry Incompatible?

Ask Papabear - Tue 24 Feb 2015 - 13:15
PictureMy buddy Tycho Aussie sometimes wears his fursuit at his office, and his boss and coworkers are cool with it :-3 Dear Papabear, 

How are you? And Happy (belated) Valentine's Day. I've been in the furry fandom for at least two years (or three, I haven't been keeping up really). I was a gamer ever since I was 8 years old, and at age 15, I found out that I wanted to have a career in the gaming industry as a game designer. And in 2013, I gained interest in the furry fandom and it has really helped me through many things. But now I seem to have hit a dilemma, should I give up being a furry just so I can have a successful career?

Kind Regards,

Neo the Demon Skunk

Dear Neo,

Your question no doubt stems from the all-encompassing fear among furries that they will be “found out” and fired for being a furry. Nonsense. If that were true, nobody who was a furry would be able to hold down a job and we would all be living in our parents’ basements. Furries of all sorts have great careers, and you can, too.

To have a career outside the fandom, just adhere to the same rules that everyone else follows while at work. These are obvious things, such as don’t use company computers and company Internet connections to look at furry websites and chat with furries; use them ONLY for business activities. When in the office, follow whatever dress codes are expressed in company policy (this likely means no tail, ears, partial fursuits, etc., except perhaps at a Halloween party). Office time is for the office; keep your personal life at home and you will be fine.

As with any “rule,” there are exceptions. Some offices are totally cool with furries. The best example I know of this has to do with my buddy Tycho Aussie. He has worn his fursuit at work, and the people there love it. Now, this is not typical, but it is possible.

You do not have a dilemma at all. Stay furry!

Hugs,

Papabear

Has anyone read this before as well?

Furry Reddit - Tue 24 Feb 2015 - 05:54

Admittedly, I'm a bisexual furry. So, I stumbled upon this doujinshi (Japanese R18 Manga, usually).

Damn, I didn't expect it. It had such a touching story that made me feel really sad. Plus the characters were kinda cute. I just wanted to share it with anyone who is interested.

Its called 'Trouble' by Kyou.

Survey researching non-fur views regarding the fandom.

Furry Reddit - Mon 23 Feb 2015 - 23:38

Please share with non-furs, as the more data the better. Note: This was created by me not the IARP. In addition to this i have never taken a formal class in statistics, and therefore only possess basic knowledge regarding the subject. (FOR NON-FURS ONLY) (Sorry for yelling ;) Here is the Survey link PS: If you think i should change anything please let me know, thanks! PSS: I'll post the results in a day or two
