Furries and Facebook?
15 years ago
General
Okay, so what's the deal with furs on Facebook? Normally, you know, people use their real names and pictures and associate with other real people.
But I'm seeing so many furs who use their fur names and drawings of their fursonas on Facebook.
So... do people have two Facebook profiles - one for them irl and one for their fursona? Or do furs not bother with the irl profile?
SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME, CUZ I THINK I WANNA MAKE A FUR PROFILE ON FB
God, I'm such a tool.

Facebook isn't FA.
FA isn't Facebook.
I'd never make a separate one for FB and I only friend people I like or want to get to know. My FB profile is locked from being found by anyone I don't want to find it, so I have no issues with anything. Even then, those that are friended might not have access to everything on my profile
Acquaintances can't even see my wall or photos or videos or friends. People that aren't my friends can't search for me on Facebook. I maintain a level of privacy and because I have a level of professionalism, I don't keep furry stuff there.
But yeah, thankfully I don't think I have pictures of me in suit other than Halloween that are tagged, and even then I don't really like being tagged period. I do use my fursona pic a lot but a good chunk of my illustration/animation friends use some form of art instead of their mug anyways so no one really questions. Plus I'm not that social in the furry community so I don't really worry about furry stuff unless I post it. XD
I like being social with furs, so maybe it's a good way to keep in touch with people and I can post more arts and stuff on FB. The only problem is that I'm scared there'll be enough in my furry FB account that will link me to my real self and then people will be like sdjkfhlkjsd we can't hire her!
Yeah, my dad gives me shit about how FB/Twitter will prevent me from being hired all the time. But even without furry, I have classmates, teachers, close friends, hopefully potential employers, etc., on FB so I usually I only post if it is appropriate for all groups and have learned to quit the cussing and stuff, so I don't post that often anyways as a result. Which is why when I see friends posting a million scandly-clad, shit-faced pics I'm like, 'lol, less competition in the job market for me.'
