Note: I'm aware this isn't /r/TIFU, but it's relevant to this sub so I'm posting here.

Technically this happened yesterday, but the embarrassment is still fresh in my mind. To preface: There's a kid in one of my classes who is mildly handicapped, I believe with a low-spectrum form of aspergers. I could be wrong but that's what it seems like, as he will often shout or laugh out loud about whatever he's thinking regardless of where he is, runs around pretty much everywhere, and is extraordinarily awkward around people he doesn't know. He is, however, one of the smartest people in my school, and as I found out yesterday, a furry. God forbid he uses this sub so I won't name him or even say what class, lest he confront me about it and I kill myself out of shame.

Anyway. I'm sitting at my table with a few people, and most of them are doodling to kill time in class while the substitute teacher does her thing. The class mate in question (hereby referred to as Tom) overhears us chatting about a recent convention, and comes over to sit with us as this is within his area of interest as well. I think this is unusual since he almost always sits alone, and felt as if this would be a good chance to get to know him a bit. The conversation progresses and eventually peeters out and everybody goes back to drawing. The girl who sits beside me (who can bang out a 5-minute doodle that's leagues better than something I can spend hours on) starts working on a little chibi drawing which, upon examination, looks just like Tom. Tom himself noticed this and grew excited, and started asking her to draw him as his "character," or as an Eevee. She just kind of ignores him though, which I though was rude until it occurred to me: The drawing was actually of somebody else at the table, who looks just like Tom. (they're both Asian, if that's not too racist...) I didn't say anything in the hopes that eventually Tom would realize this too, which would have prevented all the impending awkwardness from happening, but he never did.

So the drawing progresses, and starts looking less and less like an Eevee. Tom, thinking that she simply didn't understand his request, pulls out his ipad and brings up the web browser. I see him searching searching around and instantly recognize the FurAffinity ui, which caught me by surprise. You might be able to see where things are going now. Tom pulls up a sketch of an Eevee with a little collar and stuff, and shows it to her saying that this is his character. She, bewildered, manages a quiet "That's nice..." before resuming. Me, being the idiot I am, take the chance to grab his attention and ask what that website is. He puts the iPad away and mumbles "It's not something you'd like, it's weird..." and starts getting visibly uncomfortable. In my excitement at meeting another potential fur for the first time at school, I don't notice this at all and continue to pry. "Is that FA?" I ask. "You should add me man." He looks down at his lap and says quietly "What's that, uh, no..." and similar dismissive things that should have been enough clues for me to pick up. Over the next few minutes, however, of course I had to bring it up 3-4 times, each time making him recoil in embarrassment until the bell rings and he hurries out the door. It only occurred to me later that day: He probably thought I was making fun of him, that I was mocking him for bringing up something that was probably very private and took a lot to mention in public. In my haste to make a friend I failed to recognize all the obvious cues he was giving me to back off and made him feel attacked. I'm an asshole.

On the off chance that he reads this, "Tom," I'm sorry ;~;

I put on a hoodie this morning with wolf ears on the hood and wore it to school. I don't think I have ever been more made fun of and laughed at before in my life. But that's okay, I'm not going to let people's mean remarks hurt the fact that I'm a furry :3 I just wanted to tell you people that no matter what, be your fluffy selves and don't let anyone make you feel ashamed to be you!!!

Hey fuzzbutts! I'm thinking of creating a small group of Furry Gamers to hang out/screw around/play games and stuff! Maybe even make a YouTube channel! Tell me a bit about yourself, what you enjoy, games you like, etc! I'd love to play games with you guys and stuff! We also need to think of a name for the crew, so let's get those thinking caps going! Give me your Steam username as well! I'm BeeterTheLeopard! Thank you all for being a part of this!

So I'm finally beginning to realize that yes, I am indeed a furry. I'm beginning to accept my status as a furry, and I'm beginning to join in on the culture and community aspect as well.

But there's a bit of a problem...

So my family is generally very accepting of things like sexual preference and whatnot, and while I'm not homo- or bi-sexual, I have a bit of trouble coming 'out of the furry closet' so to speak.

I feel like they deserve to know the real me but at the same time, I don't want to freak them out, and especially not my SO. She's a "christian" and has no problem with other people's preferences either, but we're just starting to get serious and I don't want to mess it up.

I'm simply worried that with all the misinformation being spread around, they're likely to be disappointed/disgusted/etc.

Any advice as to how I should approach them? Maybe ways to phrase it lightly so I don't come across as someone who fantasizes about "animals"?

Thanks.

Not sure if I should post this here or /r/yiff so sorry if anyone is offended.

This is just a quick thought on a certai stigma furries have. The whole beastiality thing. Usually when some dick starts talking shit about furries saying they want to fuck dogs and all I just laugh at their ignorance but I started thinking about it the other day and wanted to know if this makes sense.

This really applies more to people who enjoy the sexual aspects of the fandom. So the biggest complaint from people saying furries are abnormal is that its a combination of human and animal and that attraction to animals is basically zoophilia. So I don't know about anyone else but I can say with 100% confidence I am in no way attracted to animals. Like, I gag at the though of beastiality. I personaly find it straight up disgusting and thing anyone who acts on it should be charged with animal abuse (soz to any dog fuckers Ive offended but lets be honest). So this made me wonder, if I so strongly loathe beastiality then why do I actually enjoy erotic furry art?

So I've been rolling it around in my head and realised that its not to do with animals being sexy, its to do with them being cute. So like, the human form brings the natural sexiness I'm attracted to, and then the addition or poofy tails, fluffy paws and cute ears make it vulnerable and lovable. Now I'm just gonna stress that this is applicable to me so dont be hating if you dont feel the same way. But yeah, thats really it. I could go into all the deeper parts of my theory like how I think a lot of furries are attracted to the cute side from things like bullying as it seems like a lot of furries have suffered it but I dont wanna waste your time.

Buuuut if you like getting your time wasted please read on...

After realising this it really put shit in perspective. My sona for example which I made when I was like 15 suddenly seemed deeper then I meant him to be. As a gay guy who went through the usual bullying and insecurity shit you'd expect, I made my sona cute and vulnerable which I think reflects all that shitty stuff. I made him smaller then me, weaker, bonier and covered him in scars and bruises. But I also gave him big green eyes, a cute collar and a cuddly, bashful personality. And now I'm thinking this was based on my need for help and just a hug when I was being bullied and all that shit. I don't mean to bore you or look like I'm seeking sympathy, I'm just kinda thrown by this since I didnt intentially make my sona like this and yet its reflecting shit I didnt even understand at the time.

So yeah, basically me getting frustrated by people calling me a dog fucker made me realise just how deep this whole fandom was for me and made me understand why I actually find anthos so cute and sexy and whatnot.

So does anyone else feel the same way? Can you relate to the whole sona subconciously reflecting your less happy past experiences to make them seem more bareable? Sorry if I got all deep and meta but I kinda wanna hug all you adorable fluffy bastards now.

TL;DR Getting called a dog fucker made me understand why I actually like furries so much
