furry meme (yay boredom)
16 years ago
General
*Are you a furry?
I do not consider myself a furry anymore, I did 3 years ago though.
*If you have a Spouse/SO - Is he/she a furry too?
I am married, and my wife is not, and never was a furry.
*How long have you been in the community?
8 years before I stopped calling myself one.
*How did you find furry?
through IRC Role Playing rooms
*What's your reason for furry (what interested you to get into the community)?
I've always liked animals, and always played either an anthropomorphic animal or a feral or fantasy animal when role-playing.
*What's Furry to you?
I'm not really sure. Probably someone that is really passionate about the community and does a lot to contribute to it, either by organizing/helping with events, or supports the artists that make stuff for the community.
*If someone found out you're a furry and asked you about it how would you respond?
I'd explain that I'm not a furry, and try my best to explain therianthropy
*What are your favorite aspects of our community?
There are some very talented artists, and that's why I stay on FA
*Do you use any furry terms? (i.e. yiff, paws, murr?)
no, I used to, but not any more
*What do you wish furry was NOT associated with?
Beastiality, pedophilia, all the sexual deviations that the media makes it out to be. I also wish it wasn't assumed that all therianthropes are also furries. I know some are, but not all of them.
*How strongly do you feel about someone bashing the community as a whole?
I hate it when anyone bashes any community as a whole just based on stereotypes and their own personal thoughts as to what the community is about, be it the furry community or races, or religions, or anything.
*How strongly do you feel about anyone bashing you yourself for your interest based on the media's aspect of what furry is?
I haven't experienced that before, but I'd be pretty pissed off about it.
*We all know furries have a lot of sexual aspects in this fandom, What's your opinion on it?
I got into the sexual aspect of the community before I left, and when I stopped being into that stuff, ALL of the furries I used to talk to stopped talking to me. I don't really like that aspect of the fandom, but I don't have anything against it either, all communities/fandoms have some sexual aspect. As long nobody is getting hurt by it, who cares.
Personal
*What is/are your fursona(s)?
I don't have a 'fursona' though I represent myself as a feral Golden Eagle, which I consider my spiritual/true form.
*Do you have any fetishes that pertain to the fandom?
I used to be into vore and ub, but got tired of it. I experimented with a lot of stuff in chats back in my furry days, but I'm not into any of it now.
*If you could magically morph into your fursona would you?
there's that fursona word again that I don't use, but yes I would like to morph into my true form.
*Do you believe you have a spirit animal?
I have a spiritual animal form, and various animal guides and fully believe in the concept.
*What other fanbases/groups are you a part of?
I guess Pokemon would be my only one, though I haven't found anyone else that is into it and will talk about it with me aside from my younger brothers.
*Anthro/Feral, Therian or Kemonomimi (Not a furry, just a human with animal ears and a tail)?
100% Therian if this refers to what I consider myself
*Are you a fursuiter? If yes, how many do you own? If No, do you ever plan on being a suiter?
No, and I don't really plan to ever own one. I do like seeing the talent of some fursuit artists though
*How many of your friends are furry?
none that I know of, don't have many actual friends either.
*How many pets do you own, if any?
3 Budgies and 1 Cockatiel
*Aside from furry what other interests do you have?
Camping, wildlife rehab, being outdoors, birdwatching, biology, nature.
*Are you confident enough in yourself to say that you're a fur, no matter what the media says?
I am pretty open as to what I consider myself. I don't consider myself a fur as I've said in other questions, but I will openly admit to being Therian if asked.
Meetups
*Do you attend any cons? If no, would you attend any cons? If yes, which cons have you been to?
no, though I wanted to go to Antrhrocon once, but couldn't afford it.
*Do you go to local meetups(bowling, public outings...etc)?
Nope, there aren't any furs around here that I know of anyways. Even if there were I probably wouldn't go to any meetups. I would like to go to a Therian howl if there was one organized that I knew about nearby.
*Have you ever attended a furry party? If no, would you attend one?
No and no. I don't like parties anyways.
Online
*Have you ever met up with a fur you talked to online?
yes, and was VERY disappointed with him. I met up with a few therian/furs and they were cool though
*What furry websites do you attend?
Only Furaffinity.
*What non furry websites do you frequent?
LiveJournal, Icanhascheezburger.com (and similar sites), playlist.com
*Has the fandom done anything for you that you're thankful for? Has it taught you anything or brought you anything you treasure greatly?
Not really that I know of. The main thing it showed me is to be careful who you talk to, and what you reveal to them.
I do not consider myself a furry anymore, I did 3 years ago though.

What gets more in depth is how they found out and how it affects them in life.
