Then you're not looking in the right places. They have their own convention. (Indy Fur Con)
0-0 thay do i live really close to downtown and i never see any

If you never see any than chances are your neighborhood hasnt seen any either. You are starting with a clean slate - so you get to set the standard by which furries are judged - just stick to the good stuff, stay out of the bad stuff and without fear or shame introduce your neighborhood to the fun of fuzzy tails.

Just curious, but is there anyone here who lives in Alberta? ',:/

Nobody lives in Alberta. They just visit for the Stampede and then abandon the whole province once it's over.

I would consider myself human but then again furry things are some what woven into our culture, for example, cartoons, native american animal totems, horoscopes, and the chinese zodiac. So in other words I say just be you whether you consider yourself furry or not.

Just because anthromorphic animals have seen heavy use in culture, doesn't mean that it's 'furry'

matthew Wolf · Post by **matthew Wolf** » Sun Aug 25, 2013 2:28 pm

well hes not necasarely saying it is furry but just that anthromorphic characters are basicly everywhere in cartoons like thundercats and the dog from jhonny test and even in ancheint times i was at the store today and realized that the cookie crisp wolf is anthro and tony the tiger its the people who hate furries that dont realize that anthro characters are allready in todays culture

Anthro has been sneaking into your childhood for years, and what better way than a amusing cartoony character advertising something eh?

I used to live right near Calgary, 10 minutes north up in Airdrie. I have however, since moved in the last year, so my location once again remains a mystery

Pardon backtracing a bit, but the wife and I used to joke sometimes when we'd hear 'hoosier', that there needed to be a local company doing paternity testing, called... Hoosier-Daddy. XD

Wow... that needs to exist so much.

eh idk if anyone would think its that funny

Impossible consider myself a furry. What I like and admire of this world it's only the artistic aspect of it, both for draws and fursuits. Hope to realize something myself about drawing...
Make all this a style of life it's exaggerated, it has to stay a spare time hobby, IMO.

I'd fund it.

Are you happy with yourselves now, you hideous critters? Every time I think of the word "anthropomorphic", I think about furries, not trees, or rocks, or the sun, or the moon, or cluttery, or vehicles, or anything else you could add human characteristics to. Nope, it always ends up with furries coming to mind. You guys ruined my life. *sob*

Being a fan of furry things doesn't mean that they have to encompass part of your life-style.

I hear a lot of people say it was a creepy dark movie, but I can't remember anything bad about it. Found it on youtube in 480p, gona go watch it here in a minute.

TinFoilHats · Post by **TinFoilHats** » Wed Sep 04, 2013 3:50 pm

Some of the songs have dark lyrics(there's even a song that has implications of suicide).

Absolutely, as must be. Every passion on something have to be cared to don't let it encompass part of your life-style. Otherwise it turns into an obsession.
Speaking of... Casually I watched this much time ago, when I didn't know anything about furries, it was curious to follow (that's a preview of 1 minute, the entire episode it's of about 15 minutes, haven't succeeded to find it). I don't like such kind of TV shows, I don't give trust to them, they look always manipulated; also, that episode would let believe that the furry fandom phenomenon is something negative, when really it's not so (and the furry fandom it's not only about fursuits)! They have even called it something "fetish"...

^She sure as heck can draw that's for sure. I don't dress up, but I don't see how she has a problem.

Yeah, did anyone see that commercial for the new episode of Border Security?

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Sep 09, 2013 10:58 am

No, did it involve furries?

TinFoilHats · Post by **TinFoilHats** » Mon Sep 09, 2013 12:59 pm

Yes, it did. Though I think they found drugs in his luggage(more negative stereotypes to tack on to our already bad reputation. Joy >:I).

Far Far Away guard #1: "Check him, What is that?"
Far Far Away guard #2(Sniffing a bag.): "Catnip."
Puss in Boots: "That's not mine!"

Do you consider yourself a furry?
