Openly furry?

[Quantum]

Most of my frienda dont even know what a furry is (except  for the csgo'ers)
tbh im too lazy to explain it to them or my parents.
Would be an interesting talk though

Personally, I am more open about it online than I am IRL. I mean if I ever met someone IRL and they seemed like they were a furry, I'd ask them and probably tell them I am one as well. But I usually keep quiet about it.
Meanwhile online, I am pretty open about it. If someone were to ask, I'd probably instantly go "YEP! ". It also depends who the person I am with is and what they're like. Some people you can just tell are going to be really judgmental.

I'm not openly furry because i don't know how people will react basically im scared of what people will think

I'm relatively openly a furry. I usually don't tell people, but that's because I literally make no effort whatsoever to hide it. I draw furry art all the time. I've even worn a fursuit around town-- yet somehow my dad never managed to connect the dots and only learned when I started talking to him about Anthrocon. He didn't really understand the fandom too well, but a rather impassioned explanation from a friend of mine was enough to convince him to change his mind.
I've never gotten any flack for being a furry, which is actually pretty surprising considering how judgemental the people who live in my town usually are. I just got a few weird looks while wearing the fursuit and that was it.

I've never been very open about it, one time I sort of explained it to my mom, but it was such an awkward conversation and I was speaking so Goddamn stutteringly that I wouldn't be surprised if I was taking some kinda drug. I'm normally very calm and I talk about a variety of things just fine without choking up and stuff, so that discussion was just completely bizarre... By now, she's probably forgotten all about whatever I was struggling to say that whole time... Even I don't know what the Hell was wrong with me.

I think if I ever try to talk about it again, I'll start with the subject of trans-Humanism, which I am very certainly openly interested in. And that'll extend to Robots and stuff, and probably to an expression of interest in becoming a cybernetic Dragon or something, and a hope that many others will do similar things to become more than Human.

I'm not open to group of friends as they despise furries. But i guess I have the 'if you ask, i will be honest' policy.

No, not really. I've tried to be, I've talked to my sister about the furry fandom and her reaction was pretty negative. I've tried talking about to my one friend and it was something like my sister's reaction, but less negative. I wish I could be openly furry, I just don't see the problem with being one.

I wear a large fluffy tail in public, but only to events like a ren fair or something

I'm not openly furry. None of my friends know, and that's probably for the best based on what they said about furry when it was brought up in a conversation once.

Unfortunately we are very negatively stigmatized    People just need proper information instead of thinking we are all sexual deviants

I don't tell people or go around showing it off, but if someone comes up to me and asks if I am a furry I'll tell them, no problem. I wear a Nyan Cat hoodie around, so people just assume i'm one of 'those' people who watch youtube a little too much.
Halloween is fun, I get to wear my tail and ears then and just blend in

I don't like, randomly bring it up in conversation, buuut I'm pretty open. I feel like once you have a suit, its harder to keep it secret

My family, friends, heck even coworkers know I go to conventions and stuff. The fact that people think I'm some inappropriate deviant because of it has never really bothered me much. The only time I'm super careful is when separating furry from my professional life, which I think I'm doing quite well.

Funny story.  I have some furry art as my background on my personal phone.  It's safe for work since I use my phone a lot for work when looking up information, recipes, directions, etc. Plus, the SFW is better anyway in my opinion.  Anyway, a client saw the picture and asked what it was.  I just told him that it was a picture of a wolf guy.  He didn't say anything else about it.

I think i'm pretty open about it.  I don't go out of my way to tell people, but I wear my suit head a lot and my facebook is basically all pictures of my fursona so...lol. I go to a lot of meetups and cons too so that doesn't help with being quiet about it. xP

Yay! I love weird people
