Then don't say you're a furry and get back in the closet.
Gays learnt to do this and a majority of them are accepted in society, Furries and bronies need to do the same.
Gays do it because of a long history of religious oppression and such.
People who simply like cartoon animals don't have this, just people who refuse to stop believing that their interest is nothing but loveual.
To me it's emotionally unhealthy to create a facade in front of who you actually are
It's just creating a character, it's just a fun thing to do
convince yourself that you are that facade.
lolno, this just sounds like you're judging the entire fandom based of off the few freaks who say "IM A FOX TRAPPED IN A MAN'S BODY!!!"
You mean stuffstorms and arguments.
It hasn't been that bad at all
