My story as a 15 yr old furry and a somewhat open homosexual.(Click to read on)

Furry Reddit - Mon 12 May 2014 - 22:26

If you need me to explain parts better then don't be shy and reply in the comments.

I have been a furry for FOUR years now and beginning to get more into it.I found this fandom out at age 12 while watching a few compilation videos on youtube that had furry or anthro art. I loved them and wanted to find more. I typed in what I could think might show up so something like anthro (insert species here) for a few years (like 2-3) what I found that was art was actually the "yiff" art. At age 14 I was getting to know that the fandom wasn't just yiff art and all that. It was more, with fursuiting and stories and RPs music and more! I stopped watching the yiff art and started finding more into the fandom. Age 15 I made a deviantart, furaffinity, furry forums, Reddit, and a few others I can't remember. I wanted to get more into the fandom. I can't do art but I can write and I love filming. At age 15 multiple things happened. I came out about being gay, I told my mother about an interest (furries) and that I wanted to go to a convention that was being held up in my city (not going to name the con nor city or state due to privacy) I explained that its a fandom or a fan group of people who love anthropomorphic art and creatures and go to cons, make music, art , stories, and even dress up in costumes of their characters and species other known as fursuits. She loved the idea (I never told her about how some take it for sexual reasons aka yiff) I am going to the con but without her instead, I am going with an older sibling who somehow already knew of the fandom (wasn't in it) but knew. I told him I wasn't in it as a sexuality and he was fine with that, I told him some call it an odd sub culture and he said that thats fine (not exactly but I'm shortening it) My mother told him about her taking me to the convention but he suggested that he should take me instead due to in case she might be weirded out or might take it the wrong way if anything weird(er) is there or something like that. I told him no 18+ art is allowed there but there are things that could be 18+. I am only going for one day (from what I can tell) which I am happy enough to go for even one day. Does anyone have any tips for say making friends at a furry con or how to act or anything really. I am bringing money so if I want to buy goodies. I also am going to try and take a fun selfie or a pic with some fursuiters (if I can) If any of the ones fursuiting are willing enough to be in a pic with me. If there is any tips or advice or anything really for a first con (because my FIRST con was when I was little and I just wanted to get something and go, I wasn't really having fun from what I could remember I was little so yea) Any advice or comments about my story then you can say what your heart desires. Any other comments are fine. Also I know that in my school/grade I am both of the following the only furry in the school/grade and the only homosexual (that I know of) in my school/grade only a few know of me coming out and the ones who know are fine and supportive.

I don't want to be that GUY or girl within the fandom BUT...(click for more)

Furry Reddit - Mon 12 May 2014 - 20:39

I don't have money (well at least a paypal and all that) and explaining what I am getting to my parents would be just to difficult.... I don't want to be that guy but does any one know of anyone who does free commissions? like for an avatar or even a picture... I bet there isn't any but if there is that would be kind of cool.. or I guess fine.. And I have been in the fandom for four years and now decided to tell one of my parents and well one of my brothers (who already knew of the fandom and of parts that people can take the other way of the fandom) AKA he knew that this fandom (like any other thing) had some sexual things... but thats not the point... I am going to my first con (wont say the name due to not wanting stalkers finding me at it) But I would totally wish to get an avatar or even a picture of my fursona (which I am still kind of thinking of minor details). If I explained this way to odd then if whom ever is reading this can ask me to explain it better... the main thing is I am asking if anyone knows of artists who do free commissions, if thats a bad thing to ask (because after like 3 years of being in the fandom I just now decided to get more into the forums and cons and all that....) then tell me because I won't be offended and I can easily just take this off if thats something I shouldn't be asking for... And If I was good at art I wouldn't be asking for free, I would be doing free commissions (well the ones that are easy enough for me I guess.. BUT I can't draw so yea... awkward silence

Furry Reddit - Mon 12 May 2014 - 20:00

Hello /r/furry!
If any of you use Firechat, I made a group for furries. It's called "Anthropomorphism".
Enjoy!

Why do most furry males tend to identify as transgender, bisexual, or gay?

Furry Reddit - Mon 12 May 2014 - 17:03

I've been a furry for quite some time, and something that I've seemed to pick up on relatively often is that most times when I meet a male fur, they're either gay, straight, or transgender. Let me clarify, I have zero problem with this, albeit being a straight male, it's just something that I've noticed rather often. Any thoughts?

All you active sport furries!

Furry Reddit - Mon 12 May 2014 - 13:15

There is no doubt that the furry fandom is heavily dominated by art. 2D art, 3D art, animation, writing, cosplay, music all seem to be the dominating factors to what makes the furry fandom.

However, what about us active furs? I know they exist because iv seen various pictures and videos of furries doing a sport/active activity and have some way of showing they are furry. Ex. Iv seen skydivers dress up and jump out of planes, iv seen snow boarders have custom bandanas that would resemble an animals maw, and even dirt bike riders that have paw stickers on their bike.

I would all love to hear your stories on how you express or want to express the fandom in active sports and break the stereotype of us being a lazy fandom!

Personally I am an active rock climber and love hiking in the great outdoors (while looking for stuff to climb). I have not seen or done this yet, but I think it would be really cool to have a custom made chalk bag that would resemble a tail attached to a climber.

Fursuits

Furry Reddit - Mon 12 May 2014 - 09:02

Where do you get them at? Do you make them or buy them? What materials do you need and if you buy them can you completely customize them? Sorry for all the questions. I'm not allowed to get a suit till I move out.
