Are you a furry?
Yeah. Of course I don't admit it flatout to everyone I meet.

If you have a Spouse/SO - Is he/she a furry too?
N/A

How long have you been in the community?
Probably around...nearly 3 years now. My FA accounts weren't created until later though.

How did you find furry?
Google. And a curious mind for some Sonic art. Irony being that I pretty much now never look at any artwork really related to that series anymore.

What's your reason for furry (what interested you to get into the community)?
It's different. That and I liked how the general community seemed to be quite welcoming and open-minded.

What's Furry to you?
This is the very question that tends to make me really stop and think... but my best way of explaining it is that it's both the characters and the people who are fans of the style of artwork. So it's kinda basically the style of art.

If someone found out you're a furry and asked you about it how would you respond?
Same answer as last question. Although I'll try to give them both sides of what is said about the fandom and make some rant about how the media seriously makes the fandom look really bad. Yay... CSI. <_<

What are your favorite aspects of our community?
The artwork, the people. It's what makes this community what it is.

Do you use any furry terms? (i.e. yiff, paws, murr?)
It's very rare. I have used murr a few times though, but like I just said... VERY rare.

What do you wish furry was NOT associated with?
Beastiality. Plain and simple, that is the one thing I REALLY try to tell anyone who finds out I'm a furry.

How strongly do you feel about someone bashing the community as a whole?
I laugh really. Chances are they usually haven't done much research, or they are disgruntled people who are misunderstanding what they've concluded with the community. This also works as my response to how people bash the Forza Motorsport community.

How strongly do you feel about anyone bashing you yourself for your interest based on the media's aspect of what furry is?
Considering how twisted the media portrays us, I ask them if they really honestly believe what the media says in other things as well. If they do, then their entire life is probably just an extension of what the media says. It's not worth trying to argue with them really.

We all know furries have a lot of sexual aspects in this fandom, What's your opinion on it?
I'll be honest, I like it. But of course, as long as no one is trying to connect the fandom as a whole to beastiality, I don't mind. Otherwise, I get a ton of thoughts about how nice it would be to watch in super slow motion as a 338 Lapua penetrates their cranium and causes a... uhm yeah, I don't quite think I should describe that. Simply put, headshots are awesome. *UT classic voice* HEADSHOT */UT classic voice*

Personal

What is/are your fursona(s)?
I got two. Switch is my primary, and Travis is my secondary. Travis is kinda my fursona for the more sexually charged stuff, while Switch is my regular usage fursona.

Do you have any fetishes that pertain to the fandom?
Yeah, but it's mainly stuff that isn't exactly too exotic. Although there's something about the idea of having sex in a 8-sided mirror room that REALLY entices me...

If you could magically morph into your fursona would you?
Switch, yes. Not so much on Travis due to that psycho ex he had. Of course, it might still be a good idea to be able to uh... switch between Switch and my human self.

Do you believe you have a spirit animal? If Yes, Is that spirit animal your fursona(if not what is it?)
I never thought about this, so I can't really say anything except no.

What other fanbases/groups are you a part of?
RuneStorm, Forza Motorsport Community. The first is based around 4 bros who make mods to the Unreal Tournament series, but there are a lot of us who also make mods to THEIR mods. FMC is based around Forza Motorsport, so it's a racing fanbase.

Anthro/Feral, Therian or Kemonomimi (Not a furry, just a human with animal ears and a tail)?
Anthro by far.

Are you a fursuiter? If yes, How many do you own? If No, do you ever plan on being a suiter?
No, but I would LOVE to do it. It's a tad expensive to get a full suit though... although I would absolutely love to get a suit made by Rarakie when I get the funds and she's open for full suit commissions at the same time.

How many of your friends are furry?
Very few that I know personally. About half my online friends are furries though.

How many pets do you own, if any?
None.

Aside from furry what other interests do you have?
Weapon design, 3d modeling, cars, racing, video games about the previous.

Are you confident enough in yourself to say that you're a fur, no matter what the media says?
Yes, although I don't admit it to everyone I meet. It's just not exactly a great way to make an impression on someone. The media can't make me change my thought on the fandom, my mind is set in stone already.


Meetups

Do you attend any cons? If no, would you attend any cons? If yes, which cons have you been to?
No, but I want to attend Further Confusion and AnthroCon. Damn you long distances!!!

Do you go to local meetups (bowling, public outings...etc)?
Nope. Never even heard of any going on where I'm at...

Have you ever attended a furry party? If no, would you attend one?
Same as last answer. However, it would be interesting to go to one, so I would try to go.


Online

Have you ever met up with a fur you talked to online?
Nope, but I do want to. A few of my RS friends are furries, so that REALLY helps with being able to talk about a lot of different things (usually we stick to topics about 3d weapon models though)

What furry websites do you attend?
FA. Used to always go on FChan, but... yeah, wouldn't be a good thing if my roommates saw me on there, lol.

What non furry websites do you frequent?
Runestorm.com, ForzaMotorsport.net, Crymod.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?
StrawberryNeko did an icon for me for free that I now use at a lot of places. I REALLY appreciate it (might also make her the first person I commish as well). I very much also treasure the artwork of a lot of artists. The fandom has also kinda made me a bit more open to others as well, which has helped quite a bit since I am extremely introverted by nature.
