This is the creepiest image I've ever seen
That dude in the cat-costume is clearly up to something.

I'm joking, obviously (though the picture IS fucking creepy)
But seriously, good on them
 
It took people running from a psychopathic army of religious extremists, but the furries have finally found a group that isn't immediately repulsed by them.

It's no different than kids posing for photos with costumed characters at Disneyland.

Don't they use those suits for sexual activity? I mean, I'd assume that they'd have enough decency to be clean and all that, but I just find the whole idea gross.

Good on the convention goers for making the kids feel welcome. As refugees they've had their world turned upside down. For the kids this was probably a rather fun experience.

Those suits don't have cumstains.
 
Saw some of the videos. The kids are so happy and hugging them. Its the same feeling as kids would go to Disneyland and play with Disney's mascots. Pretty awesome moment IMO if you ignore the whole furries aspect of it.

Now what's the next step in your master plan?
Pft, yeah, ok.

Well knowing some people who have worked as both princesses and costumed characters as Disney World/Land then I can probably say you're probably better off hugging a furry. No one is expecting Tigger at the Happiest Place on Earth to have a serious drug problem and anger management issues.

from my understanding those suits are really expensive and most people wouldn't use them for that

Those aren't furries those are Canadians without their human costume on.

one day these refugees are going to realize something about these furry conventions

LMAO! I guarantee that this will happen to those kids in a few years.
Porn? Because most furries wouldn't ruin a multi thousand dollar suit doing what you're thinking.
I hope it is just a common misconception. I really don't know a thing about them except for that episode on 1000 Ways to Die and people making references to My Little Pony porn.

edit:

The vast majority of fursuiters do not.



Don't be crass.

Gamers wear big round glasses, have no social life and too much first person shooters make you shoot up schools.

Well, that's a relief. I apologise if I've offended anyone.

That's nice. Good change from how the refugees are greeted elsewhere.

The typical brigade of people who just come here to mock others are expected so whatever. People do something nice for one another and you mock them for it and call them freaks. Real heroes.

Is this...heart warming...? I want to say it's heart warming but...oh god, something feels itchy... ugh what is that feeling...?!

Maybe you've gotten fleas?

Get yourself checked!
 
"Grandpa what was it like when you first got to Canada?"

"Well, it was a long, frightening, and very sad time we spent coming over here. Very harsh and uncertain. But we held on to hope. We needed to. We arrived in Vancouver that day and were taken to a hotel to stay until they could find us a place to live dontchaknow. At the hotel, my oh my! All sorts of magnificent animals! People-animals. " Furries," they called themselves."

"'Furries,' grandpa?"

"Yes."
 
It's weird how liberal and open GAF seems to be on the whole. Except when it comes to anime and furries. That shit's just not OK.
 
All you have to do is separate what you know or presume about furries out of the equation and you're left with a moment for the children.

It's funny and sweet.

If you're a kid and just old enough to be aware that your family is fleeing from a literal warzone so you don't end up like your dead relatives, getting off the airport and being hugged by a room full of giant stuffed animals must be the goddamn best feeling in the world.

This is true! Makes the story very sweet
 
Here's a breakdown that won't change anyone's perception -

Not all furries are into porn.

Nor all furries into porn are into fursuits.

Not all furries into fursuits own fursuits.

Not all fursuiters are into into porn.

Not all fursuiters are into freaky fursuit sex.

Not all fursuiters into freaky fursuit sex are the type to go to a convention.

Not all fursuiters into freaky fursuit sex are the type to go to a convention and hang out in the lobby.


As you siphon down that diverse swath of people with only one common interest (think of how many people after this week will make a zootopia persona on tumblr), you're left with a very very small number of people.

Everyone is into porn, this list is built on a throne of lies!

For you.
Those suits don't have cumstains.
Considering how much sex there is behind the scenes at Disneyland, I would argue otherwise.

Also this.
 
I'm sorry...

In all seriousness though, this is quite an interesting culture clash to see. Glad the kids had fun, the article's pretty uplifting!

When one of the kids heads into the public washroom:

But yeah, all jokes aside, I'm sure that the mere sight of people in all of these colorful animal costumes is enough to cheer a lot of kids up. Some of those pictures are quite creepy though...like the one where the cat is looking at the viewer.

From a furry wiki:

"SPH (Strategically Placed Hole) is a plushophile term for a modified hole or aperture added to a plush toy for sexual purposes. Some fursuits and inflatables have been known to have an "SPH" built into it for sexual or joke purposes, too."

What's a yiffing?

Furry speak for engaging in sex. Or as the same wiki lists it:

"Yiff is an onomatopoetic word and/or sound, coined in 1990 by Foxen while roleplaying his fursona, littlefox, originally to meaning a cheerful greeting or an energetic "yes", but changing over time to be used more commonly as an expression of sexual interest or activity.
A very common word in furry lore, it can be used as an interjection, an adjective, a verb, or a noun."
