I’m always surprised by the people that are furries, you’d never suspect them, some of the people you’d think least likely to be a furry, are indeed a furry at least in my experience.
Conversely I am always surprised that I am NOT a furry, I feel like I really should be given my other interests and characteristics map to every stereotype going but while I find it an interesting sub-culture its appeal to me personally is very neutral.
19:13 you can purchase bottom spray or tape specifically made to keep costumes in place! Also you can use like super hold hairspray for the same purpose.
I am an old-school nerd with loads of respect and admiration for furries. The power of their enthusiasm has kept fandoms alive, organized to help people, and makes the world survivable. So many scientists, musicians, and tech people are furries. Thank you for talking about what you do when you travel. I need to be outside my home, which is terrifying, but I feel like I might manage better with some of the stuff you do and use.
Furries have always been among the kindest people I've met. I have nothing but respect for furries. Also, as one of those lanky people, please accept my apologies. It isn't just my elbows I lose track of; if the number of walls I walk into can serve as an indication, I have trouble keeping track of most of my body.
This rules. I really love the way you talk about things- you have this way of being so matter-of-fact. It helps me remember that the weird things I'm into are like, good and cool!
I have ADHD and almost currently have autism too. And my eating habits are all over the place and really suck. especially when I’m traveling so I’m definitely stealing some of your con travel stuff and maybe I will actually remember to eat something 👍
Damn, I’m not a furry (despite kinda enjoying some parts of it), but I should become one just for the networking opportunities. And the raves. And the fetish parties. And the queer friendships. Oh god why am I not a furry?
The only barrier to entry for being a furry is identifying as a furry. You can be a furry if you want to be a furry. Everyone is welcome. You don't even need a fursuit. Most people don't have fursuits. Though investing in a nice pair of ears might be a good idea.
@Trash-Garbage-Trash they are sister clades but exhibit significant morphological differences. Lagomorphs have four upper incisors while rodents have two. Also lagomorph teeth never stop growing while in most rodents only the incisors never stop growing. Even though they aren't rodents (and not nearly as large or diverse as rodents) I still think lagomorphs are pretty neat .
Wow, I cannot imagine turning up to a convention* and actually taking over a panel. Leadership skills! (*I could stop there, as I have never been to a fandom convention.)
ok i’m furry curious but like i wouldn’t want to wear the traditional style fursuit. i would want a hyper realistic mouse head with like a cute gay little outfit. like look up “Lady Mouse in Mob Cap” by Beatrix Potter. i want to be her but like would my specific brand of autism be accepted by the furry community??
hi, furry of several years here. yes you'd fit right in with the furry crowd. that's called a partial btw, and it's quite common for furries to prefer partials to full fursuits cuz 1) they're cheaper, 2) aesthetic reasons, 3) they're less likely to overheat
Look up Horsegiirl lol too shes a DJ who wears a hyper realistic horse mask, ans hooves, ans does some acrobatics like jumping over a fence lol. Shes a good dj too.
One, glad you had fun, My Queer Platonic Partner, helps run Motor City Furry Con so while i haven't been to MFF i can back they are good people who run it as they've been by for the our con and information shareing on best practices. Also i find Soylent to be better then Hule as a meal replacement for when i cant eat for what thats worth
oh man was i excited to watch this video! im 21 now and ive been a furry since i was about 10, it's one of my dreams to go to a furry con!! i'm saving up to move houses and for top surgery, but i can't wait to go to a con someday >.< it seems like such an amazing experience to be surrounded by people with the same weird hobbies and interests, getting to see all the amazing suits, and getting to be around people who are so open and normalize kink. i
This was lovely. I've been hanging out with furries in VRChat for a few years now and may be a bit of a furry myself based on that, but I'm not sure I'd ever be able to go to a convention so I really enjoyed this glimpse into your experience of one.
I really appreciate this video! I’ll be going to Anthrocon next year, as well as another furry con earlier in the year. I’ve gone to anime conventions before but never a furry convention. I’ve been watching the MFF con experience videos to get an idea of what I’ve signed up for
If I were pressed to explain precisely why I love this channel so much, I would stumble over my words and lose track of the lion's share of things I've noticed that are great about it. But luckily, this is the internet and I don't have to explain myself, so I'll just keep watching in delight ^^
17:53 I feel like if you were able to a motorized shopping cart that would provide you with both a battering ram and the most optimal standing hight. If you wanted to do cosplay you could steal a shopping cart from target or Walmart and then make a gru from despicable me.
I would sponsor the heck out of this channel. Unfortunately don't have any money 😎 Also very cool to see the aura. There are so few of us at the moment.
Also fellow anosmiac here (albeit partial and acquired due to chronic childhood allergies damaging my nerves)! It is really useful when smells are bad but not dangerous…
OH my god, so my buddy got to go to MFF this year, and in the thumbnail, with the mask on, I did I huge doubletake... I was like, "NomiWorks has a youtube channel now????"
I live in the close Chicago suburb, near the venue, and it was a treat to see the furries spilling out of the convention center while we drive around for shopping and stuff. Oh, look Honey, the furries are back! My Alma Mater, Northern illinois University has an official furry student organization now. I'm sure that they are not as rowdy as my Rugby football club in the 1970's, which was a student organization sponsored by the math department at the time.
The talk about being a sickly person and also the travelling while autistic parts were appreciated aha made me feel less like an odd one out for once :,)
I'm so glad I have Trash to let me know what is a thing. There are so many situational commonalities that make me wonder if those could be things that I just really can't tell. I just saw"Venom- The Last Dance" at an after run cheapo theater. Spoiler alert- there's an expansion of Venom's "kind". So, of course, there's a large mammalian protuberance, what I would say- "blessed", version of Venom. It would be so hot to publicly display myself as a latex she-venom suited version of myself in a butt-on battle against a horse male protuberance cosplay sword. Or the real thing.
I've got the same con crud. 😢 my boyfriend managed to avoid it, but i was sharing a b o n g with some of my friends at transfemtral station just before i became symptomatic, so i sadly probably passed it on.
I feel like I might be a closeted furry? Cause I was watching the video thinking damn I should be a furry. And then I thought "Oh, I could start using just my puppy ears and paws, cause my bunny ears might be too much... Well, I also got that slug costume... and my shark vest... Actually am I a furry already?"
37:00 autistic crisis, must know, was it shortest to tallest in costume or shortest to tallest human only?? This is chaos to not know such an essential piece of information!
I enjoy your content. I'm not a furry (I would die in a fur suit, and the stench would be unbearable), nor do I want to be one, but we're all freaks in one way or another - no judgement. I just love learning about how some people get freaky, and I appreciate how you bravely share!
@Trash-Garbage-Trash I can see that. I would consider going to a con, mostly to be an ally - and I think we might all have other things in common. I'm a nerd from way back. 😁
Idk if you’re aware of this but Pepper Coyote is a fascist. He’s a good musician, I agree with that, which makes it an extra big shame he was a founding(?) member of the syncretic, “red fascist” CPI thinktank. He’s politics are no different from the likes of Caleb Maupin and other authoritarian nationalists.
Reflecting on this, I am honestly unsure how far his politics actually extends. I’m generally unwilling to give benefit of the doubt given the harm that the organisation he was a part of intended to cause. He was banned from MFF last year as a result but I looked into it and MFF don’t seem to have specified a reason for allowing him back this year, especially as a GOH. I should not have spoken with such authority as it seems like this issue is in contention… however the part of your video touching on Nazi grooming of politically lost, white, male furries did sound like it’d ring pretty true in this case.
I went to the con with dokidokidiscorse and the ONE TIME they go to do something on her own they gets a fan encounter??? and doesn’t mention it after???? I’m glad someone recognized them though I’d been making jokes about it for days
I just got back from a con and I sympathize except I have the opposite of arfid so I just grab whatever. I will eat things that don't typically blend together very well but my tastebuds turn off when I'm at a con. Cup Ramen, dorritos, Gatorade, and Nutella/peanut butter straight from the jar were on my menu every day except Saturday, I just didn't eat for 12hr oopsie. To be clear I have a decent job and a partner with a decent job we could eat at restaurants every meal but instead we reminisce back to when we first met and couldn't afford maruchan and had to settle for top ramen
If I had money I would sponsor but alas, transition is expensive even in Denmark, soo one like and one view is all I can afford! I love you videos hope you keep it up 💙🤍💜
i watch your videos, but i also watch furry con vlogs so when i saw this appear in my recommended i thought something had gotten mixed up in my head lol
@@Trash-Garbage-Trash it’s really no big deal, at least not really for me. I only noticed it cause it was like 4 am when I was watching it. It’s not something that’s obvious an it goes against the standard practice of editing. I really appreciate it being in there thought a lot of people don’t even attempt it, though sometimes it probably isn’t obvious.
“No one would ever sponsor this channel” genuinely inspiring. Just spreading your message with no profit incentive
I’m always surprised by the people that are furries, you’d never suspect them, some of the people you’d think least likely to be a furry, are indeed a furry at least in my experience.
Furries could be anywhere! Perhaps even at your good wholesome furry convention.
Anyone can wear the suit. You can wear the suit. If you didn't know before, I hope you do now...
