How Boldly Furry Are You...?
12 years ago
Woke up not even ten minutes ago after a strange dream.
I was still living with my parents, I was in the car with my mother, and our neighbors across the street were wearing some fursuits and having a yard sale in which they seemed to be selling just about all of their plush toys. I was allowed to go inside and see that they actually had more furry-themed items lining their walls: a few more plush toys (favorites they insisted on keeping I assume), an entire wall dedicated to hanging shelves lined with fursuit heads, framed furry art across the walls, many depicting nude anthro art and even porn in extreme cases.
One thing I noticed though over everything else was their daughter. She was in her early teens it looked, dressed completely normal, maybe a little chubby with a blonde ponytail... I immediately knew her "deal." She was unhappy- bullied and cast out of any and all social circles because of the lifestyle her parents had chosen to lead.
I know this happens. I mean, I never see furry couples who incorporate their hobby into their daily lives as well as having children, but I have seen furries, in relationships AND single, who put up furry merchandise like art and costume heads as decoration the same way that I saw in my dream. I've seen it in the media, in "selfies" around the web and more.
So I guess my question is just how BOLD are you about being a furry?
Is your group of friends so furry-exclusive that you feel comfortable covering your home with furry memorabilia, or do you have a wider variety of friends that keeps you from making such a bold statement for fear of scaring them away?
Are you as bold as to put your favorite furry porn up on the walls, framed?
If you had a child, would it change your decision at all, even if the child was going through Hell every day because of their parent's lifestyle?
A lot of furries are fairly young- do you see yourself being as dedicated as to build fursuits and go to conventions and collect the merchandise when you're older?
Lots of questions, I know, but I think it's an interesting topic of discussion.
