Hello
« on: February 18, 2017, 12:34:10 PM »
Quick and short to the point.

Hello all, I am into the fury fandom and I find it fun and yet I am not sure what animal my fursona is. As in, I keep jumping about.

But the main reason I decided to make this post/join is; I don't like fur suits. Do most furries like them? Or is it not abnormal to like them.

To me they just seem unnecesary.

welcome to the Forums GibberingMaw  ^_^

and that is just up to your preference, not sure about ratios of fur suits being liked but in the end does it really matter knowing that.  I think they are okay, but not too interested in having one right now.

So just let it all keep happening

Don't be a means to someone's end
It's all just beginning why can't we extend
An invitation to every hand

All hearts are beating equally
The pulls of the air we're breathing

If we can believe in one part of it
Then we can believe in all of it
So don't stop
Don't stop the party

Hi there, welcome to the fandom.

Not all furries like fursuits, and even less furries like wearing one. It's all up to personal preference, really. You're welcome to the fandom either way.

Thank you for the welcomes and understanding. I've spoken to furries before that say I'm not a true furry because I won't wear a fur suit.

Sounds a lot like a christian bashing another christian because he/she doesn't go to church.

*sigh* Neither side is better off by bashing. There are a lot of furries who don't wear a fursuit. Personally, I think fursuits are too expensive and very hot, so I won't be buying one anytime near soon. It doesn't make me any less furry, and fursuits are only a part of what the fandom is about. There is no true one way to be furry, no matter what others say.

Welcome to the forums, what are some of your hobbies? :)

As for fursuits:
Some fursuiters aren't furries at all.
You can be a furry and not like fursuits. You can be a fursuiter and not like furries.
You can like seeing fursuits and fursuiters, but not want one yourself.
Everything is allright!
So no worries about that :)

Hello and welcome, I'm VoodooMax. Fursuits are a matter of preference, I personalty do not use them due to not going to conventions plus they can get expensive as well; however, it all comes down to your preference.

Welcome, fellow newcomer! Can just say that the furries I know do not wear fursuits. I don't have one either and neither do I think it's needed to be a furry. Oh and neat interests ^^ Say, you're not into programming, math, electronics and such things; are you?
