Do you have anything about the topic to say or are you just gonna stuffpost?

posting this for a friend that wanted to participate

1.) to say 'associate with' is kinda weird... i never really saw the animal part of a fursona as a part of who i am, just the addition to the rest of my personification. i think cats are cool though, i guess, and if i were to be an animal it'd be a cat
2.) i know years ago a youtuber i watched was a furry and her furry character was kind of a motif of her videos. it's a fursona, put simply - her character just relayed her own commentary and reactions. that was just kinda 'normalizing' it for me, i guess, but i really started to intergrate when i started befriending people on the internet who were furries. i've heard a couple of stories about people who hang out with furries regardless of whether they were a furry too or not, simply because they felt furries were nicer - and i can agree, personally at least. i think the right ones can make good friendgroups, and tend to be pretty nice and accepting - so i think through that was what made me a furry.
3.) i haven't attended a furry convention, and i don't think i ever plan to, frankly. matter of fact, up until going to PAX East this year, i've always wanted to go to a convention with friends, but was weary of doing so because i associated conventions specifically with furry conventions. and two factors played into me avoiding those: one of them being fursuits. if there's one thing that i never got around to tolerating well, it's fursuits - maybe it's because the image of mascot suits from sports and such has been so ingrained into my head that it's just an uncomfortable sight, or maybe it's because most of the time they just look generally unsettling. the other part playing into why i gently avoided furry conventions is just the sight of furries out in the open world like that? in all honesty, i'd find comfort in having a few friends in real life who are also furries just so i don't feel completely taboo, but something about THAT much furry is just... weird to me?
4.) i can't really say i recall much? there was probably some obligatory furry content me and every 21st century american child has stumbled upon, but i can't remember anything significant.

just the sight of furries out in the open world like that

tbh most people i've seen think it's cool
I've been to several events with numerous fursuiters, walking around public parks and what not. Most of the people who run across us thinks it's cool. People think it's cute and fun, they want selfies with fursuiters, etc. The general reaction you see from people online is just not what you get offline. I've heard Anthrocon does a fursuit parade around the city of Pittsburgh, and a lot of people come to watch? There was even a restaurant in downtown minneapolis, a few blocks away from a con, that had a sign last year saying something like "furries welcome, but please don't shed on the furniture"
