i'm sure my icon speaks for itself here, but i've definitely seen a few of you skittering about in some of our threads. show yourselves at once! maybe post your fursona even (if it's safe for work)

I’m not. I’ve always been curious about how people learn about it, realize they’re a furry, etc.

What’s your story of how you became a furry? What does it mean to you?

adjacent to the community since 2011; i created my fursona in 2017 because most of the people i am friends with are also furries. that remains the case. this is just kind of an intrinsic part of my personality and if i'm honest it makes talking with more normally oriented people kind of boring 😅

Think I joined and made a fursona around 2018 but I'd thought they were pretty neat ages before. I think I took the plunge since the community appeared to be very friendly as was quite LGBT positive and I was looking for somewhere to make some friends. Went to a meet at the city closest to me and then boom, here I be :D
