Basically, “furries” are animal people like in Disney’s Robin Hood and Zootopia, and the fans of those creatures. There’s some sfw art at [email protected] if you want to see. Humans in media are boring. :P
Personally, I’ve seen it to be a very open, accepting and welcoming community. So I guess I romanticise being with a group of like minded people, which is something I’ve felt lacking in my life.
… Annoyingly, due to its history as an lgbt-friendly splinter group, it’s who a lot of the bigots started targeting when it became socially unacceptable to be honophobic online. Grumble grumble.
On the chance that you’re serious, this should tell you way more than you’d ever want to know about furries. (And if you aren’t sated by the time you’re finished reading that article, there’s a link to the page “Furry Convention” in the first paragraph.)
Sounds like am amazing goal. People on the internet can hate on furries all they want but connecting to like-minded people in the real world is really nice. I hope you get there.
This isn’t the most glamorous or exciting thing, but I want to go to a furry convention sometime.
… I’m really typecasting myself here on Lemmy, aren’t I?
What’s a furry convention?

Just don’t trash the place like that one furry convention.
Wait, for real?

I knew it had to do with animals, but didn’t realize the fursona or expensive costumes. Thanks for the explanation. Seems a little odd, but harmless.
Don’t post the Down The Rabbit Hole documentary on Furries. Don’t post the Down The Rabbit Hole documentary on Furries. Don’t post…

Dammit, I posted it.
(I’m sorry SavvyWolf… For everyone here, that documentary doesn’t paint an entirely representative picture of the furry community as a whole.)
A place of degeneracy.
