I would say “a lot”. Granted I don’t have too many irl friends, but I think it does matter to me that I can be myself among trusted friends and I feel it helps if they’re furries as well.
Very.
I have my fursona and several characters. I also have a fursuit based on Franz and I’ve been mulling over the idea of a Franz tattoo.
I’ve been looking at “spicy” furry stuff for much of my adult life, and I’d say that being a furry is “core” to my identity.
However it’s only recently that I’ve started actually interacting with the fandom. Specifically, I was on a Lemmy instance that was involved in Fediverse Drama™ and decided that, since I was a furry, I might as well join the Furry instance. Then I hopped onto furry.engineer and basically drowned myself in the fandom.
Due to events in my history, I have real problems making friends (both on and offline), so I don’t really get involved in furry communities. But if/when I get through that I’d love to get more involved. Maybe get some art of my fursona, try out VR chat, go to cons. Stuff like that. Might even get a fursuit (imagining one feels oddly “cozy”? It’s odd).
I have a sona, my partner’s a furry and the majority of my friends irl are furries at this point! So pretty furry. I don’t have a fursuit, but hopefully will some day.
I have a fursona and enjoy the art, both sfw and nsfw. I don’t have a fursuit though, both from lack of money but also because I’m not sure whether it’d be comfortable for me. I run hot very easily and I’m asthmatic so breathing is the big issue there. I’ve also never been to a convention of any kind, but again, that’s lack of money more than anything.
I have no fursona. Closest I’ve come to a fursuit is I auditioned for my college mascot and got to wear the costume. It was supper fun and incredibly hot. I’ve never been to a convention because although I’m less than 30 minutes from one of the biggest, I know if I go, I’ll show up, look around, speak to no one and leave. No fursuit because I could never justify the expense for something that would never be worn. Oh, and I like the art.
Don’t really have a specific fursona beyond “it’s me but yote”. I like the art, only have a few furry friends, and don’t hang around any furry communities (Lemmy would be my first real attempt). Never been to a con and not interested in getting a fursuit. Been a furry for close to 2 decades now. I guess I’m just doing my own thing. I appreciate the furry communities immensely but I’m just cheering from the stands.
Hello fellow cheerer. Here is the first place I’m trying to participate too.
Well, not so much anymore since I started doing body hair removal to combat the heat, but I was pretty furry before that.
I literally see myself as an anthropomorphic animal in my mind when I imagine myself, and I have had that self-perception before I even knew what “furry” meant. It’s what ultimately led me to finding the fandom, initially.
Really just here for the porn, see it as another medium/style like hentai.
Well, there is a lot of that here.
