Kosha Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 SCP Foundation also had something to do with me becoming a furry. I really like SCP 682 and found a lot of good fanart of the character which led to me finding anthro fanart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrysocyon Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 The usual: Dinsey, Don Bluth, Pokémon, Digimon, some other movies like Cats Don't Dance and that furry David Copperfield adaption, and an affinity for animals in general. And then I discovered the actual fandom itself through webcomics and the inevitable porn. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falaffel Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Animaniacs. That's what got me to look into furries. Wasn't all that impressed, but then I found old FaF. Shit made me laugh. I think I read threads there for about 6 months (talking to people was scary for me back then.) That's all it was, though. A laugh. Then I joined. I am now a gay furfag that likes animal dicks.

Fossa Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Early on, in a subconscious way: Looney Tunes, Tiny Toons, Danger Mouse, TMNTs, growing up in a very remote area with a lot of wilderness. Later on: Finding something to counterbalance my tendency towards seriousness & melancholy, and watching fursuiters on the 'Subservient Time' section of the Funday Pawpet Show. I think it was when I saw Vincent the wolf, that I was sold on the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catahoulaa Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Probably role playing? Somehow I got into role playing, lord knows how, at a very young age. Then I got into wolf role playing (I was/am a proud wolfaboo tbh). From there I got into drawing more, and found a Lion King art site, which I was a part of for several years. Joined deviantArt at some point, and it's all been downhill from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 You know, when discussing this with a friend and mentioning the fact that so many gays are in the fandom he made a good point. Furry art might be used as a proxy, since people are conditioned by society and sexual thoughts that go against its norm are generally inhibited by the frontal lobe. In this way, there is a displacement from the scenario originally imagined far enough away it doesn't get inhibited the same way. I was talking to another fried about a transformation fetish, which I understood from a dom sub perspective but scenarios where there is just TF itself and not coercion from a dominant character led me to believe this could be yet another presentation. BDSM itself probably falls into this category, too. People are turned on by aggression, however any sexual feelings that spawn from it are them inhibited by the temporal lobe. This has been shown in people with lesions to this area, or with related disorders affecting it, where an abnormally high percent commit sexual crimes related to aggression (pedophilia also falls into this same boat). In an experiment, that group lacked the inhibition that generally follows thoughts of this nature when shown images and videos depicting aggressive acts, versus the control group.

Revates Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Becoming a furry is like a subtle indoctrination, like in mass effect. You barely notice it at first, like something at the edge of your vision and you think you can fight it. It all began when I was watching YouTube videos and there were cringey little people in cute animals suits running around having fun... it looked like a lot of fun. This piqued my curiousity and I had to delve further into it, what were these little animal people? Furries. I couldn't resist but go look more up about them. Oh boy it looks like they have fun little conventions with tonnes of people dressed up as animals, this too looks like awesome fun and it's actually kinda cool. We find more art... oh they create them themselves... look how amazing they are and cute. This is where we start enjoying the art and continue to look at it at an increasing rate, we didn't know it yet, but it was too late to resist the process. Eventually we wanted to meet other animal people and joined a forum of manimals, it went offline :c. But some nice fellow that I had added on steam brought me here and it has been constantly downhill from there. Thank you for reading my story, if you are reading this, it's surely too late. So, I blame YouTube. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wax Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I literally just saw some cool artwork in the 'anthro' section of DeviantArt once and thought it looked really cool.

Elektranine Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Lol nothing has "made" me furry because I was born furry. So there is nothing I can blame for making me furry. I really started seeing myself as an animal starting in Kindergarten and 1st grade. So its always been there. I guess i'd be considered a "true furry" without any sort of exposure to "it made me a furry" material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Lion Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 eehh I ain't really much of a furry. I do like the idea of anthropomorphic animals as characters but don't really identify with a particular species. I guess what got me into this community was the people. I wanted a place to talk to folks that wasn't tumblr or some stupid avatar site aimed at teenage girls. People in this community, on this site at least, feel a little more down to earth and life experienced than some of the ridiculous sparkle fairies I've found on other sites. The fact that they're all a bunch of hairy, yiffing, man-beasts is kind of just coincidental. Yet in spite of my lack of overall furriness I keep feeling at least a little drawn to furries and their art and overall culture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 i'm not no stinkin' furry. i always liked was obsessed with animals as a kid. i also constantly watched cartoons, which were full of anthro characters. when i had assignments that asked me to draw people/characters in kindergarten, i drew anthros. go figure. aside from a few things where it was required, i didn't really draw humans until about 7th grade.

It is an identity expression. I could never cease being furry. For me it is sort of like a culture, I could never be happy in a relationship with a non-furry. This could also explain why I have more "extreme" views than others on certain aspects of the fandom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. But saying it's"retarded" shows that you probably lack a psych degree =p People aren't born gay, either. This has been shown countless times with homozygous twins. It isn't even a question anymore. That doesn't mean people can't have influences early on and be imprinted that way. For me and the whole furry thing it was mostly something that happened with a stuffed animal when I was under two years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
