*yawn* Hello everyone and good morning to all of you. I was thinking about this subject for quite some time now... it also came up when I was listening to 2's rants again. Anywho. I've been a fur for nearly a now and am slightly going out of that little furry closet and letting others outside the fandom know of my little way thing. Erm.. yeah! ^_^;
Furries are seen as freaks. Sure, some of us dress up in cartoony animal costumes and go to conventions that are filled with other members of the fandom and from what I've heard (beyond the TV's portrayal, that subject comes later) from a very reliable source, the furry conventions are like comic conventions. You see ads for the San Diego ComicCon or maybe WonderCon, or perhaps even A.P.E. that gathers in San Francisco. But you don't see ads for AnthroCon or FurCon (Further Confusion); and why is that? Well for one thing, it's because of the media and general lack of knowledge. But why exactly are we seen as "freaks" by the general population. We don't hurt anyone by having animal spirit beliefs. We don't hurt anything by setting up the conventions and even some of us do walk the streets in a fursuit. Are we hurting anyone? We are like you in every respect... although it seems that the fandom has the largest share of angst than any other. But oh well. I guess that people will call anything they either don't understand or even want to bother to even look it up a "freak" or "odd" or whatever they'll call something these days. I just don't get why people are so lazy to even try to understand something. That's why it's so hard for me to ask my parents if I can go to FC2004 alone. Well, I'm running out of time here so I'll post later.
