Anthrocon 2018: Four things you didn't know about 'Furries'
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ^ | July 2, 2018 | Marella Gayla

It’s that time of year again: barbecues are getting fired up, fireworks illuminate the night sky, and a couple thousand people in animal costumes are about to descend on Pittsburgh. Anthrocon, the annual gathering of the “Furry” community, is returning to Steel City.

I don’t know how they have sex in the fur suits. Must be difficult.

And it must mean that humans are too scary, that only your stuffed animals are unthreatening enough to bare yourself or have sex with. Hm. Never really thought about it. The one person I ever knew who was into role play sex exclusively was abused by her father as a child. She would only have relationships with people who dressed as superheroes. I believe her favorite was Wolverine. Maybe people who only want sex with people dressed as stuffed animals were abused somehow too.

I always figured it was some form of “soft” bestiality.

That’s an idea. No actual cuddly koalas were harmed in this sex act. Ok. As good an answer as any.

One horrible night years ago, I was surfing the web looking at dog breeders. Somehow my quick skipping around landed me on a Dog Lover site which opened to a true confession letter, a man writing about when he came out to his best friends. He went to dinner at their home, a couple, and he started by saying. “Well, you know how close I am to Lassie, and how she sleeps with me and everything?” I’ll leave the rest to your imagination. It was as bad and as vomitous as you imagine. It’s been at least 10 years and I haven’t gotten over it yet.

From what I hear most furries don't have sex in their suits because it's too hot and the suits are a pain to clean. Many of them wear suits to help with social anxiety and there is a strong gay contingent among the furries.

International Online Furry Survey: Winter 2011

Question 11 has a chart and if you add all the bi and homosexual furries, most are homosexual according to this weird Q&A.

Probably just as well.

I don’t get the donut meme though.

We still like MLP over here though she has destroyed many with painting and decorating them. And I have spent one entire day cleaning and restoring plastic hair after it got dirt and twigs all in it. YouTube has how to solve everything.

MLP is still going strong. As with most shows some episodes are just OK and some are really good.

“A common misconception is that Furries are all freaks, and that they’re there to have a big sex party,” said Nico, who has been attending Anthrocon since 2011. “That kind of stuff, it does happen, as it happens at Anime conventions and Star Trek conventions and comic conventions. That’s part of any large gathering of humans.”

Only when Shatner shows up.

Maybe you might want to ask the mods to delete that post, eh?

I started to say that at least they are fulfilling themselves in this way, and not running for office...but then I remembered this guy, and I think there was another one:

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/conn-councilman-resigns-furry-profile-revealed-article-1.3481160


I love where he's quoted:

"insisted to the Danbury News Times his own participation in the fandom had 'nothing to do with sex; it's an interest in cartoon animals.' "

That made me feel so much better...

Me standing behind voice actress Tabitha St. Germain at BC 2016

Me with infamous internet personality Chris-Chan at BC 2017

I've actually been married and I have an amazing 19 year old son who is fortunately far more normal than me. Currently I am divorced and while I've had a few dates the dating scene here in New Hampshire is pretty scary.
