I wish you the best in it Inali. I like to think when approached right, people can be accepting with just about anything. Especially if they are a real friend to you.

Gah! This would have been pretty helpful earlier actually to see if it would've been good or not to post my WWF topic. Might have gotten it posted in the right forum in the first place too. :?

Re: Are You A Furry?

Any degree of Anthropomorphism on Animals or any degree of Zoomorphism on Humans can be called a part of the furry fandom. So to answer your question, it exits being furry when the animal is simply an animal. No human speech or anything. clothing could be an exemption. That actually clears it up pr...

Re: Are You A Furry?

That's one thing I've wondered about, when does it exit the definition of being "furry" and becoming more animal? I've asked before to another person and the best i can figure is its just based on your own view of it.

Well if you'd like a fair game, feel free to start one with me. Like I've said, i like to try and play the board more than trying to find the biggest word.

Re: Words With Friends

Its really also about knowing how to play the board. Anyone can go and look up words, but knowing how to use them to get the most points and blocking possible moves of your opponent can be just as useful if not more so than a word worth a lot of points.

The more furries out there who are normal, pleasant people, the harder it is to stereotype us as anything else. I've found that in any group there are "normal" ones and there are the few stereotypes that catch most of the attention and unfortunately tend to define a group in the eyes of t...

Alright, let's get off that topic before it goes too far. XP Yes, what you said is right. A good but unremarkable fursuit will run between 1000 and 1500 US dollars, and they're very difficult to clean. So fursuiters tend to be protective of them. I was talking about paying outside right after the r...

We love furries and non-furries alike! Also, people who abuse fursuits are actually extremely rare. Those costumes are not practical for that kind of thing. From what i understand, those things are quite expensive as well. Can't really see someone paying lots of money for something like that then r...
