    Don’t think I know any furries, though I think I’ve met a few. I’m probably too old, but that’s alright. Never been to a furry party, but if I knew any I would invite them to my parties. I don’t get the stigma, seems like other people are too insecure in their own identity to accept people experimenting, or settling on an unconventional one. Even when I first heard about it that there were people supposedly having sex while wearing cartoonish animal costumes (which yeah I’m sure it happens, people will at least try to sexualize anything that they like) I realized that the media always sexualizes “new” lifestyles – its one of the most tried and true ways to make people decide that a lifestyle is weird is to make of seem like it is only a sexual fetish.

    90% of CEOs identify with wolves and sharks and lions, when they do it you’re supposed to buy their book called “The Lion’s Share,” and kiss their ass about it. But if some non neuro typical queer kid does it, its some kind of cultural nightmare scenario. Really reveals the root of the stigma IMO.

    They seem nice and I bet their fursonas are soft and comfy, if maybe a little hot inside the suit. Sorry if any of this seems insensitive, I don’t mean it that way. Except toward CEOs, I mean that to be insensitive, if anything I should be more insensitive toward them.

      None of that seemed insensitive to me, you’re cool~

      Can confirm the soft and comfy, fursuit hugs are great~. It does get toasty in them, though. Some engineer furries developed cooling vests that help a lot, but wintertime suiting is great!

      I drunkenly stumbled to a Furry outing a few years ago. It was really cute watching human-sized furry people hugging each other.

      I was accidentally at a furry party once. Bar double booked the leather community and the furries. They were high energy and a bit strange but chill

        I accidentally walked into a Juggalo show once. There were topless girls in clown makeup dancing to a band, and I punched a door cuz one of the juggalos told me to.

        Fucking Ohio

          Wait, my story also happened in Ohio… I’m starting to suspect my state might just be out of its damn mind.

            Have you never driven here? There’s a reason “Ohio” is synonymous with hell to the younger generations

              I haven’t spent much time elsewhere. Well unless you count Indiana or Kentucky and my attitude has always been at least we aren’t either of them. We suck of course, but we suck compared to places worth living, instead of being compared to places like Iowa.

                I’ve lived here voluntarily for 26 years so I feel like I’ve earned the right to complain about it, nothing feels so good to gripe about as something I love. But yeah fuck Ohio, this place is nuts

                  Yeah, it’s home. I want it to stay crazy but stop sucking, but that’s gonna take some work. Fortunately it’s that or find a job somewhere where rent is higher and I probably count as nuts instead of eccentric which also sounds like work.

                  So yeah, make Ohio weirder, get the juggalos and furries to run a voter transportation system and union drives. Only you can make Ohio a baffling place worth living!
