My friend randomly bet me a dollar to do it. So I said sure. If they get weirded out I can just play It off as a bet. Cuz it is.

Didn't work out. The second I thought about it I had a really bad panic attack (I know I'm dumb) and it lasted longer than I would have liked. And it kinda ruined my day.

Do go forward with the idea then. At least, not until you are comfortable with doing so. You can change the site's topic still right?

So you'd sacrifice their trust in normal furries actually existing just to make it look like you're not associated with us?



Back on topic, just the ones who it's relevant to, basically. It's not like it affects my everyday life. It does affect my interests though, so if we share them it's often involved.

No its because everyone in my school is a closed minded bigot. And I wouldn't be "sacrificing" their trust in furries. It would be a normal informative website. And my social anxiety prevents me from sticking up for myself in any way. If they think its weird there's nothing I can do. And why would that be making them think normal furries don't exist?

Yeah a couple of my friends do know. I flat out told them. Honestly none of them really care. If they did care I could careless if they did or didn't.

My fiance knows and is alright with it.

My mother also knows and she thought my fursona was really cute lol.

Well, I think two or three of them know. Besides my mate, because he pulled me into the fandom by the paw. Anyway.
My one friend found out because we were trying to connect my Live account to her Xbox and I had emails from this forum and she was like "what's that?" And I'm like "well." And, yeah, she seemed okay with it after awhile.
I have a few family members who are furries now because of me. Yay! Idk. But yeah.

One does.  The other doesn't, but probably suspects it.

Yep! They're fine with it, they joke around about it. My parents encourage me going to cons. My boyfriend is cool with it, too.
