Dear furries- you are a valued member of the forums, sorry for all the hate you get here.
Cats is not a bad musical... but that shit being made into a movie is disturbing.... I think you might agree.
Edit: At least most furries do not pretend to be something they are not- they enjoy taking on an alternate persona (fursona). But at the end of the day they do not actually believe they are a Fox, or a Dog, or a wolf... or a [i][b]bear[/b][/i]
Heres a shameless copypasta from reddit!
So, for as long as I can remember, I've relentlessly mocked you guys for your strange hobby, porn, etc etc etc all stuff I'm sure you've heard before.
So one day, I was descending down the Netflix rabbithole as one is want to do. I watched two brony documentaries that mentioned furries - and I thought, there's gotta be a furry documentary. So I found one on youtube about furry conventions. And at the time, I thought it would be hilarious to go to a furry convention and make fun of furries doing the weird shit I assumed happened at furry conventions.
Lo and behold. I live in San Jose, and it's two weeks before furcon 2015. So my roommate get tickets, thinking it going to be a people zoo, freak show, etc. We are planning to go ironically, to mock people, bask in our own superiority, etc. I'm using etc a lot but I'm just trying to get to the apology faster.
So, the problem in our plan was that we went to the furry convention...and had a great -blam!-ing time
The dance off. Furry fandom by the numbers. Puppetry classes. The talent show. We had an un-ironic good time. We had a blast. We both agreed we'd go to another.
So, my sincerest apologies to all of you. While I still wouldn't identify myself with the furry fandom, I would consider myself "a little bit furry," or at least a furry ally :P So, that said, y'all keep doing you (not that you ever needed my permission) & -blam!- the haters. Sorry for being a huge jerk.

Sounded similar. I too went down the rabbit hole. I wanted to find what exactly causes one to be furry and what actually do they do. Bruce’s I had a though in my head. What happens if the perfect person for me is a furry? Huh do I hate them for that? No! So I changed. About 10 months ago I’ve been told that someone in my lunch is a furry. And I wanted to do some research, wanted to know what’s really happening. So I did, got in a conversation, discovered we both like photography and engineering. Time to time I saw some insight. Until there was a con in my local area my new friend wanted to take me, it was PDFC. (Painted Desert Fur Con). It felt uncomfortable at the start. Saw what you saw, dancing. I was like, “ok....” Then my friend was like. “Put on my fur head” I ended up doing it, then I got the thought. It’s a second person basically. It felt weird. I could see them but if they look at my I look like a different person. I could keep going on how people can act different with their Fursona. Then I felt like Conner from Detroit. Going deviant and self testing. But if you play that game. You know most of the time he goes deviant. But I will stay true to my self. Never go to the dark side, the really really NSFW side. But I still take mental notes on how people act differently with their fursona, and down to talk about it.
