What to say to non-furries

[Scautty]

I'd say I look and act NOTHING like the normal furry, with a definite undertone involving nothing around yiff or anything. I really am one merely for the equality and understanding basically everyone attributes to in the fandom. I also love hugs.

I'm slowly breaking it into my friend I'm one, but indirectly. He'll take it I'm a yiffer if I do, so I'm just filling him in on my fursuit construction progress. Actually, he plans to make one too which is pretty cool. We're going to associate in fundraisers and charity event with them... Starting with the Crop Walk in October. (Although deadlines DO get me nervous, I want to at least get a partial done for it.)

I could probably tell my parents...since they have no idea what furries are (I don't want them researching the false scam of what people say the fandom is ) My parents said I could do anything I wanted as long as I didn't get a girl pregnant or drop out of school anything else, they look the other way. Would I buy a fursuit? Sure...but it's that or a Chevrolet Avalanche so...

Haha, a car or a fursuit? Of course I would choose car, even though the price isn't even comparable. If it were anything else I'd buy a laptop, haha.

But yeah, I know exactly what you mean. The only thing that bugs me is they're so uptight about me being gay (Which I'm not, I'm not sure what sparked such an idea,) that I don't know if they'll even be comfortable with something they've never heard of.

And I DO NOT want the internet to tell them, like you said. They'll just think "Costumes. Sex. No."
