It's gotta be hard taking care of all that fuz, extra appendages and whatnot. And if you're fursona is a quadruped, say goodbye to anything like normal life. The best you could wind up as is someone's pet. Not that that would be so bad I'm sure.

An extra apendage would be like a tail or wings. Quadruped means four legs. Humans and anthros are bipedal, which means they have two legs.

OK thanks,
Hmm... I have tail AND wings, so yeah, bit of a space problem hehe.
But most fursonas stand on two legs right? (Mine does anyway)

OMG, massacre ;P
Unhuman experiments, testing new biological and chemic weapons on them, gonna be treated worse than  Chechens in Russia, weird sects, brand new crazy Mesjahs, pop-culture, probably partisant wars against all governments and humanity. If humans see something new, they decapitate it into parts too feed their curiosity (and take one steep deeper into hell ^^)

Don't be silly. The response would vary world-wide. There would be persecution, definitely , but only in a few places might it be government sanctioned; like China. There would be no weapons testing on them. That doesn't even make sense. More likely governments would be trying to preserve and understand them, and there would be just as many people willing to help as hurt, if not more. There aren't that many of you, you know; maybe a scattered few hundred thousand, so no wars of revolution or "resistance".

what do you mean by, "those who would want to negate rights based on it."?

Meaning some would see them as less than human or not equal and want to treat them as such.
Also this is more of a tangent from bigotry. The furs could be seen as the new minority class.

It'd take some major getting used to.

For myself in the situation presented by the creator of this thread.... I'd feel really awkward in various ways:

My sense of balance would be off, having two tails tangling around and constantly moving would make walking a problem for a while, I'd have a really good sense of smell (which I don't), and my eyesight would probably be worse.

When I got used to all of the changes, I think that I'd probably be better at running than I am now.

Most definatly they will capture us and experiment on us to find out what caused the transformation and what we are. As for me they're goonna have a figght on thier hands.....
Yeah, but its all from The allspark/Cube right?
Isn't that all they need to know?

I've met my share of furs who would become murderers if they ever became their fursonas.
What?
You mean that they'de go around killing everyone they didn't like?
And if they did, fursonas can't be invincible (unless maybe in another world...) so military forces would cut em' down  :boom:
By 'us' I was referring to the actual furries.  Thats why I referred to myself separately.

I'd have to adjust with the wings and tail as far as balance goes... But as far as clothes go I wouldn't have a problem. I'm a scaled individual.

 ??? *ponders* Hopefully they won't experiment on us. I dislike probes. Bad experiences and long and inappropriate stories.  >:| *shakes fist at probes* If that happens though, there are probably places in the world we could be accepted if we're outcast, Christiania, for example, or maybe other hippie colonies. If not, we could set up our own cities.
Wow have things changed...

Although I think it would be awesome to be my fursona it would also bring in much to debate.  Would we considered a race or an animal? Would we have rights or no rights at all? There would be so much controversy that as said before many of furs wouldn't wish they were furs anymore.
