Wow that looks like it was really fun and the suits are really cool! So glad you got pictures!
Re: Do You Consider Yourself a Furry?
That's great, RatHead, very nice experience. Maybe the participation hasn't been large, but the event looked pretty well organized. There was even a pool, absolutely to use without the fursuit.

and actually it was pretty good, over 300 participants, 93 fursuiters!
and yeah, the pool was fun, even if i didn't jump in.
I don't know if there'll be a next year though, as apparently the organizer hasn't isn't takin good care of himself and is in the hospital after a heart attack...

What makes you think that the organizer hasn't been taking care of himself?

I guess because a very common cause of heart attacks is a clogged artery.
To reiterate and steer this back on topic:
I do not consider myself a furry.
Woof.

If anthromorphic animals can exist, so can fluffy dragons and sea creatures.

Nah, but it's generally agreed upon that "furry" refers to all anthropomorphic animals. :3dtlux1 wrote:Well, there is no set definition.Amazee Dayzee wrote:How can a sea urchin be a furry if it doesn't have any fur on it? xD

Re: Do You Consider Yourself a Furry?
Apparently being a furry is becoming dangerous! Some people were sent to hospital because someone intentionally released chlorine gas at a convention.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/loca ... story.html
This is actually kind of scary.
Edit: Now they are saying that it was bottle full of something that only smelled like chlorine but it made some people sick and they took them to the hospital as a precaution.

Re: Do You Consider Yourself a Furry?
gosh , I really hope that those people are OK , but , though I know this will sound really pessimistic, from what I've seen , it's not being a furry that would make you a victim of these kinds of action , it's being different . Lots of people tend to attack anyone that's different from them , before now it's verbally , ridicule , and now it's this .
Still , very scary though

Re: Do You Consider Yourself a Furry?
Scary stuff. My friend sent me a link of that last night. It made us worried about going to one of these this summer, but looking at past conventions, these things don't really happen as security is pretty tight.
Hopefully they find the people responsible.

Re: Do You Consider Yourself a Furry?
I'm getting conflicting info on this. At first there was word of a powdered chloric compound, the same kind you clean pools with. Then there was talk about pure chlorine.Radio Blue Heart wrote:Edit: Now they are saying that it was bottle full of something that only smelled like chlorine but it made some people sick and they took them to the hospital as a precaution.
Anyway, both easily cross the line into domestic terrorism. After all, chlorine-based weapons were used to gas our great-grandparents around here in the trenches.
Whatever the case may be, so far everything points to a lone wolf carrying out the attack as it all looks very amateur hour.

Re: Do You Consider Yourself a Furry?
Pure chlorine or no, you're right about domestic terrorism. This is almost certainly a targeted attack and a hate crime.

Whoever did this is going to get a nice long trip to jail, and probably have to pay some massive restitution. We had the DHS, FBI, Hazmat FBI, Hazmat DHS, O'Hare police, TSA (as there WERE pilots and operating crew in this hotel and it is close to ORD) and a wide variety of other people take an interest in this, within hours of it happening at 1AM on a sleepy sunday morning.
I'd wager this story's not going away.

I do like furry art, but I don't have a fursona.

Re: Do You Consider Yourself a Furry?
From what I've read in this thread, you don't need a fursona to consider yourself a furry. Personally, I've never been sure about whether or not I'm a furry, but I still like being a part of the fandom.ds-al-coda wrote:I do like furry art, but I don't have a fursona.

However, if you want a fursona, just think of your persona and your favorite animal. Or a completely different persona personified to any animal that's different from your own, as it's own independent character. It's fun!
Edit: I changed my vote to yes, so it's an even 3/4 now.

I'm definitely a furry, but under no circumstances would I ever consider myself to be a furry.

He'll have the authorities and bunch of very angry, vengeful furries after him.

And that's enough talk of that. Talk about the incident was fine, but you guys are starting to cross the line when you talk about the guy being hunted.

Sorry, Jeff. I tried to defuse it with a joke that was not worth making. Its just that talking about it helped us wrap our heads around it. I mean, who could hate a fandom so bad that they would attack it in such a way? A long time ago, I found a video on youtube of a guy in dark sunglasses and bandana tied around his face going on about how much furries disgusted him and how he was going to rid the world of them. And I wonder what could make someone hate furries that much. What did we ever do to him?
