This would be my Fury Alter ego and I would wear the suit everywhere.
Furry Convention is in town

Pretty much, or any kind of role-playing for that matter.

Personal experience only here, but coming out as a furry has... opened several avenues that were not previously accessible.
Granted, I'm not the most promiscuous type, but I'd be lying if I said that coming out has not led to significantly more sex than I've had previously. Take that as you will.

Were most of them hygienic? I know it's another common stereotype for fursuiters.

From what I've seen, very. That said, my experience with fursuiters was from a very select few (researchers in the field) and the vast majority of furries I've met have not been part of that group.
Fursuits are a bit expensive, after all. $2,000+ on something that has little to no resale value is a fairly restrictive entry point, and the price continues to rise if you want something that doesn't look like crap.

The first time I told my friend what a Furry was...
I long to see that look on his face again.

sometimes i feel very sad, I guess i just wasn't made for these times.
I basically just came to the thread to see what he'd post, but ctrl+f turned up nothing. I was very confused.
These conventions seem like they could be the best or the worst things ever. I've read about people going and having a great time meeting friends they've only talked to online, drawing, sketching, partying, getting drunk. It would be awesome if I got to meet the artists I admire and maybe commission something.
On the other hand there are some real horror stories. Some furries...really like to touch people. If you thought cosplayers getting glomped and harrassed was bad you haven't heard these. People get fondled in elevators, as if the fursuit stink isn't bad enough. If I ever go to one of these then scritchers get stitches.

He should be waking up soon. Don't worry, I'm sure he'll have plenty to say.

NO FURRIES, YOU LEAVE SLY COOPER BE :'(
Yes, but the man who died wasn't a furry. He was just stumbling through the backwoods on mushrooms, and came across a furry orgy. Being on shrooms, he tries to join in but is brushed off. He then notices a bear, tries to fuck it, and is promptly mauled. As is everything in the show, the dramatization is hilariously overdone.
Can't find the clip on Youtube or anything, but it's on Netflix. 1000 ways to die, Season 1, Episode 3, 8:30.

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
The only thing I have to say about being around people in fursuits is, sometimes the people inside them don't have the best hygiene, and their suit doesn't have the best care.
Ugh.
Ugh.

Hmm, makes me wonder what you would see if you held up a black light to one of the suits.

The suit our mascot wore in college costs around 3K. Maybe that's why?
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Since when are suits in general never shoddy?
The only time I see a fursuit looks good is from Doggie, and even then that's because it's Toei that made that suit.

Yeah, and they have fans and stuff.
But looking online. Even high school mascots suits that are mass produced retail for around a grand.

From what Ive read about many furries, they are very shy people uncomfortable with society, so they hide behind a "fursona" which is an animal type they identify themselves with more so than their human self. I dont see anything wrong with this, if people are so open to LGBT. This is another lifestyle, it obviously has a sizeable amount of followers, and should be respected as such. Period.

Slippery slope, man. One day you're jerking it to a chick with bunny ears on, the next you're getting yiffed in every orifice by a group of neckbeards in full MLP cosplay.
I wish you the best in your new life.

I've seen a furry on a train when an anime thing was happening and it was really creepy. I was always scared of the mascots at parks and stuff as a kid, so I've never liked them, but seeing one 'in the wild' and knowing they're into because of sexual reasons made it even worse.
It's hard not to judge when the only thing you can see of someone is something you already dislike.

Yeah, but the same could be said about neogaf. One day, the neckbeard comes for us all.

You make me sick.
Its cool when you do it, these others be posers.
But yeah, I dont care for furries really, this is more my speed.
where can I buy these masks?
Some of them can get pretty ornate. An acquaintance of mine made all of these:
In the end it's no different from other forms of cosplay which I enjoy, so I don't judge.
now THAT'S really creepy. I'm ok as long as long they look like some MLB mascot, but that's..oh boy.
Not all furries are into it for sexual reasons. Some people just like having a fursona.
