Hi! Welcome to the furry confessions account! I hope you have a great time!
Here's a few things to note while making your confessions! (๐งต)
"I think that fursuit makers should keep politics off of their pages and shouldnโt hold political or religious beliefs against potential commissioners. Not only is unprofessional to talk about politics on a business page, but youโre also -
-We can embrace our sexual side, but it would be wise to be upfront about how prominent that side is, so newcomers to the fandom don't have a skewed perception."
"Adult furries often seem shocked and upset that younger furs aren't fans of the sexual content in this fandom. It's not just about adults doing adult things; it's also about how popular YouTube furries(just check out any 'your kid is a furry' video)claim that the fandom is for-
-all ages, or when they downplay the sexual aspect by saying it's minimal.
I don't think being pro-sexual is inherently wrong or sinful, but I really wish furries wouldn't be so quick to label minors and those who simply don't want sexual themes shoved in their faces as bigots.-
"Furry isn't a fandom, its a sub culture. Its an entire world. You cannot gate keep it or police it. It is massive and decentralized with tens of thousands of hubs. Making blanket statements is laughable because they will apply to some hubs but not others."
"There is definitely a cultural difference between "Pups that became furries" and "Furries that became pups" and while I have friends on both ends of that spectrum, I can't help but vibe more with the latter. "
-As much as I tell furries to go with what species you vibe with, sometimes you can hobble your furry social life by choosing something "weird" or unusual."
"As sad as it is, you literally can improve your social interactions by having a more cute/relatable/attractive Fursona: Cats, Dogs, Foxes, Dragons.. Deer always get way more attention than like Lizards or insects-
"How do people 18-23 even afford their fursuits? These things are so expensive and it makes me unreasonably envious that I don't own one while being in this age range."
-many people i know personally just dissociated from the fandom entirely after local furs sided with our abusers :S Online is the only way i interact with furries now."
""Go to local furry cons and meets people are friendly there unlike online" makes me feel very left out because its highly dependent on who is running it? My local scene is run by-
-manipulators with a track record of harassing people out for calling out the predators they allow in.. And not all of us outside the US can travel easily to other cons without spending $1000s in flights and accom. People are so lucky to be able to do this,-
one? Why have I seen pedos get away with stuff in this fandom? So many times too
It is not normal no matter what you say
And saying how common they are in every fandom is in fact normalizing them.
- an adult"
"Furries are too toxic positive. They only vent to you but, if you vent to them they will distance from you. Very self centered too
Also having this massive amounts of pedos, zoos and ๐ists isn't normal, "oh but they exist in every fandom" ok but why do we allow them in this-
