What ever happened to the counterculture?

[Rothman]

Furries aren't countering.

[kphoger]

I haven't seen a furry in real life in years. Which I am not complaining about.

How would you know if you did?

By his fursuit, of course.  I assume they wear them 24/7.

[Max Rockatansky]

In my day to day life I've yet to encounter someone who actively stated they are a furry.  Then again, I'm gathering that isn't something people tend to bring up to friends and family.

Fursuits are quite expensive and aren't particularly comfortable, so only a tiny fraction of furries even own one, much less regularly wear one.

I thought we had a couple on here.

We do, but they aren't people I don't really know off forum.

Sorry, forgot the [sarcasm][/sarcasm] tags.

I figured, but this seems like a legitimate misconception a lot of people have.

Hm.  Furless furries...

My apologies. I'm not well versed in the daily habits of being a furry. Which also happens to be a fact I am not complaining about.

I don't know if this is fully defined as a furry, but I attended a board game meetup group one night and a woman was wearing a plush bunny suit. That seemed obvious enough to me.

Did the bunny have a name that was different than the woman wearing it? If so, she's a furry who has a bunny character. If not, she's probably just a woman wearing a plush bunny suit.

I don't think furries was the counter culture Bandit was seeking.

I didn't feel like asking.

[kphoger]

She may also have been mentally 'off'.  (half joking)

Back in the Chicago area, there was a guy I used to see riding the bus who dressed up like Superman, and over time I began to suspect he wasn't always entirely aware that he wasn't actually Superman.  I hung out with him at the laundromat once, and also while waiting quite some time for a bus at Wal-Mart on a Saturday.  But I was never sure if the Superman thing was just a quirk of whatever special needs he had, or if it was a more serious mental thing.

... hmmmm ...

* kphoger dives into Google.

Ah, so I see now that he is autistic.  Wow, it's really weird watching this PBS video about him!  He looks so much older now but sounds almost the same as he did back then.

I mean, I'm technically a furry, though I consider myself more of a brony. I even have my own 'sona, lol.

Does having a lot of body hair count?

I could name it, if you'd like.  Something counter-cultural, like Edna.

There you go, you're a furry. Or Edna's a furry. Congrats and good luck to you and/or Edna.

Just wait until the extremists find out about this stuff. What bathroom does a furry use? (Don't say fire hydrants)

[Rothman]

Furries had more rules than I was aware of.

Same, seems to be a bigger thing than I had previous knowledge of.  About my only other exposure was a MTV documentary an ex-girlfriend had showed me a decade ago.

There is a guy who ambles around North Las Vegas dressed up as someone from the video game Bloodborne. Someone posted a picture of him to a Vegas locals group and was like "Someone want to tell me what's up with this guy?" The typical response was "Yeah, that's Jim. I hope he's staying hydrated." Which is how Vegas responds to that sort of thing.
