I have been to a furry convention, but it wasn't intentional.

I know someone else that (sorta) happened to believe it or not.

Not the convention proper but rather coincidentally found themselves staying at the designated convention hotel.

A friend of mien tried to drag me to a furry meetup once. I calmly suggested he stop doing drugs.

That was exactly what happened to me! I was working in San Mateo and was dating a woman in Orange County. Flew her up for a weekend and got a nice hotel room to try to make a classy weekend out of it....except for that whole surprise furry convention thing.

This was right around 2000 and I only knew whispers of what furries were thanks to visiting the dark corners of the internet & she had absolutely no clue. When we came around the corner to the hotel it was strange that they apparently had a fully decked out mascot out there...and then another one...and then another one...until I was like "O SHIT! I KNOW WHAT THIS IS!!" and then breathlessly described the whole scene to this woman in 10-minutes of bug-eyed excitement. I'm sure she was impressed.

Later we ran into the 'Art Show' and she liked to draw, so she was like "why don't we go take a look??" & I said "that art is going to be 90% cartoon wolf dongs" & she curled up her nose and looked at me like I was crazy. I was not.

I was saying they should make a “The Fast and The Furriest” movie, when my wife said she was sure someone already had.

Tangentially related to above. Was watching YT Border Security: Canada. There was an episode where a guy identified as a furry (e.g. they found his outfit). They checked his laptop for child porn and bestiality.

I forget exactly what was said but basically they said furry with furry was not bestiality. Had a chuckle with that.

No judgement or kink shaming please!

YT video I referenced above. See about 11:20 and about 19:05 for the furry guy.

I have several years of dealing with Anthrocon people in Pittsburgh. You can def tell who the furries are even without their suits. I think it’s largely harmless fun. Some of the outfits are way beyond mascot level good. These people bring far too much luggage. I don’t know why you’d have a dress up event in Pittsburgh in late June when it’s pits of hell hot. Most of the stories about these people are probably made up

sterlingice · 10-15-2022, 12:03 PM

I figured it's semi-mainstream knowledge because old guard CSI had an episode about it like a decade ago and CSI seemed to specialize in stuff that seemed edgy to boomers but was just merely a little weird to the rest of us

Drake · 10-15-2022, 12:08 PM

I'm not, but I have a friend since HS whose 20-something son has been a furry for years.

Let's just say that being a furry is the least of this young man's mental issues.

I remember that episode but it was around 20 years ago because I stopped watching TV series in the mid-2000s and it was before the main dude (whoever played Gil) quit the show.

That was a CSI classic episode lol

As disturbing as furries are, it is really not even close to the most disturbing fetish. It actually seems pretty harmless.

Edward64 · 10-15-2022, 05:19 PM

Agree.

I'm more into pointy eared, Elven women TBH

You and me both, pal.

Kodos · 10-15-2022, 05:49 PM

Just as long as there are no pointy elbows.

I really don't know why this thread continues. This should have ended it.

Edward64 · 10-15-2022, 07:13 PM

Oh com'on. It's just cosplay with a different outfit.

Pointy elbows would get you kicked out of my bed, that's for sure.

We've already got a "reboot" of the show, trying to nostalgia mine the old one. So it's not like this is new knowledge.
