Fursuiting Fun at Anthrocon 2014 

knight of fucking time ikr

Yee

Omg so trueee

+Miles Iero hi fellow MCR trash lol we are EVERYWHERE

btw i agree 10000%

Sunny the furry fandom is a place where we get to be ourselves and to be unique we aren't meant to be "normal"

Celty same.

Celty furries are like carebears... Who doesn't like carebears?

From being a furry, I totally agree. Not all wear suits and they still get hate. It is so sad but its amazing that people don't care!

Sandwich Hour me to 😂😂

I might be a little biased because I’m a furry but I think it’s just s hobby, or life style like gardening it’s sad ppl hate these guys

I agree ;-;

It’s so sad to see all the hate over someone wearing a fursuit. Look at the happiness and genuine love in this video ;-;

Baxter the wolf yeah

me too!! like he's saying, "oh my gosh, my stuffed toys came to life"

Mhm!!

Sadly to say, that's so much easier, for many people, to hate things which they don't understand. To look closely to them and afterwards to change their minds is hard work. Many people don't want to learn about new things. They will never see how much joy furries bring in our lifes. If they would watch closely, they would see and feel all the happiness and the big smiles. And not to forget all the good charity things they do.

My ex boyfriend is a furry (not really ex, we drifted apart and eventually he maybe forgot about it and started dating another guy IDK)

+Science Warrior Why can't you be?

Science Warrior Forget if they think your weird, be your self, if they think your weird forget about them. Be who you want to be. :)

Science Warrior No Problem ^.^

Science Warrior Good luck on your fursona >.

@@mangosmootheee he deleted his comments lmao what a coward

Rui Moreira 1:37 lol

somewhere

1:39

Majira was clearly super happy :3

I don’t think that was actually majira

Then you can!

+Jess Herman Essentially your statement " I want to be part of it." makes u part of it. most of the fandom simply enjoys the art performance and over all aspect of the idea of these type of characters. so welcome to the fandom.

I don't have a suit and I am a furry still you don't need a suit to be a furry just be one

Man seeing these kind of moments really makes me think where we gotten. The community got so toxic these days and is tearing eachother apart. Quite sad honestly :/

MG LP Not everyone

mito Protogen , that is progress.

MG LP For the most part at least

There's definitely some bad eggs.... just have to be careful.

Inquisitor Christopher Of course there is, but for the most part it’s pretty easy. Examples, If you are a minor don’t go to adult cons. Don’t online date or anything like that, and be careful of pedos and zoophiles. But that really should be it for the most part!

It already exists, but we refer to him as Coopertom. ;)

Ooh!

John Brown Interesting. "Coopertom" would have had to design the (headpiece? Mask?) himself, and it wouldn't have been easy to get the distinctive look just right. I've never seen a furry that could be called a "portrait" of an actual critter rather than a 'toon.

John Brown Nope. There's an ACTUAL GrumpyCat suit out there.

Pancake I was making a joke. :P

Shame on them :U

Marxpup Fennec ya

Uh-huh

Marxpup Fennec e.e

Why are you looking at me like that? ^^;

And less prone to homicides or illicit drug deals. ^^

And absolutely NO measles.

furry came from didney

Dresmor Alakazard Perhaps, but _we_ perfected it. ^^

JamesPolymer what you want to prove?

It would be good for maybe hmmm Ghost??? Magician?

Not recommended to wear those in crowds of people covered in heavy foam fluff and fur

Unless you make it yourself im.not sure how you would achieve heelies on a suit

I think his name is Renegade; don't know him personally, though.

Are you referring to the bald dude. I call him a mini me or a Stewie Griffin. Is he a he !? can,t tell. Yeah hes cool

Sure, allow me to spill some ideas! So, first off, I can understand if your parents arent used to furries. While you are fully developed in this community and know all of the pros and cons (Hah, get it? Cons!) your parents, however, are complete strangers to it and unfortunately, the bad side of the fandom tends to come to light first. But, Im sure if you take your time with them and slowly introduce them to the fandom, theyll learn to accept it. Yknow, teach them about the communitys attitude. People of all races, religions, shapes and sizes, they are all contributing to a wonderfully accepting community. Most importantly, your parents will need to understand every single fandom has a bad side. You need to adress that bad side with them first, and make it clear that the fandom is not like that, and neither are you. You are in a family friendly fandom. "Yiffers" as they are referred to are commonly shunned. Most likely, if you approach them correctly, theyll understand. Also, even if they disaprove of furries, *they will love.you.regardless.*

*IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ!!!!!* Although there is no one definition of what a furry is or does, the most common definition is this. *Furries are artists who take a HEALTHY APPROPRIATE interest in anthropomorphic animals and objects in general. Furries usually create what they call FURSONAS AS ARTISTIC EXPRESSIONS OF THEIR PERSONALITY AND WHAT THEY PERCIEVE FROM THEMSELVES*.

Well its a hobby, not an identity. You dont need to "come out" as a furry. Being furry isnt the same as being lgbt, if they ask just say its a hobby. If you make them sit down about it they're going to think its something extreme

if you don't mind me asking how much is it to stay there the whole week?

tiger paw claw It depends which hotel you stay at, if you are at the Westin (main hotel), their con rate is about $180 a night so for a whole week it will be over $1,000, if you stay just the 4 days of the convention (Thursday-Sunday) it's about $720. Other hotels will be slightly cheaper ($130-$150 a night) but you will have to walk a ways.

How to suck some of you guys afford to go every year its so expensive

But when you go to the con it's only $50 for the whole 4 nights

I need just got to find somewhere to stay at?

Skyla The Feline same I felt awkward at indyfurcon this year my first con lol

Skyla The Feline same XD

Same xD

Same, but they look so cute playing and being nice eachother ❤ (I'm sorry for my bad english)

my dad doesnt care wat i show him he hates all furries and i love all furrys there soo nice plus its fun to go around with fur suits on XD

Machinitekgaming You know what? I always loved furries as my favorite, and I always wanted to be like them, too. So, I agree with what YOU know! Furries should always be good and caring and fun. Why on earth would your dad hate them?? I gotta know, or he has no spirit, I guess. Good thing YOU love furries, though!

Lucky.

I literally live thousands of kilometres from the con :')

Lucky. I'm almost 24 hours away. Howdy From Texas

shun ;(

shun That's really sad. I hope you eothee find it or have a new one soon!

Angus Wellejus :( im actually heart broken

MangoCat its gone forever ;;

Awww.. :( I wish I could help you in some way, but I don't know how...

the fangirl of almost everything. his old majira fursuit

I think we all did!

+RandomPony9 IKR!

+RandomPony9 GAAAH I WAS GONNA SAY THAAAAT >:( but good observation..

EEEEEEEEEEEEE

I noticed telephone but some how I dint see majira before.Thanks for pointing it out.

ikr I was just like TELEPHONE! AND MAJIRA!

***** I told them I was a furry. They don't think it's harmful but they think I'm weird. They say the same thing about me being a pegasister and an otaku, so I'm used to it. My sympathies to you, and good luck with the whole furry thing with your parents.

***** No problem. There's a bunch of resources to help you explain it to them, though I'd imagine the hard part would be getting them to listen. Even if they don't come around, your decisions are just that: yours.

Also the one at 5:00 he looks *Pawesome*

Yes it is but there is a website that has rules on what and what not to do. Just Google Dutch angel dragon

O ok. Then I'll and do that thank you for the advice.

😊

There's ohiocon I believe, and cincy comicon, but yea.. No fur con's here ;-; when I finish my suit I'm probably gonna just take it to a nearby con in Illinois or something.

Really?

The next convention is i think strats at july 9 idk if it is anthorcon and i dont remember where

Fennec Furreal *AGREED*

+Sarah R People just hate what they don't understand.
