I'm a fairly new furry, well I shouldnt say new furry but new to the fandom. (Although a friend of mine is pretty involved) and I have made plans to attend the midwest furfest but as I research the fandom more there are a couple things I find alarming or disturbing. I don't want to bring them all up now cause it would probably be a shit storm but the one thing I can't figure out is peoples obsession with the "uncle kage" guy.

it really sorta weirds me out - the fact that he's called uncle for one, the fact that he seems to have anger or mental problems yet is looked up to like he's a God, how he seems to portray furries even though I know some of the things he's saying aren't true, how he seems to have control over almost all the furries and how everyone does exactly what he says, how he somehow has some sort of power to ban people (this kinda sucks for me because, yeah ill probably be shunned from the community after this)

my friend says she thinks its because a lot of people are desperate for some time of father figure and he seemed to over control everything anyway so they just gravitated towards him.

anyway, if someone could answer this I would appreciate it. It seems very strange to me and having heard some "ex-furry" stories that seem to reinforce my ideas makes me nervous about going to conventions etc. Feel free to PM me to discuss as I'm guessing this may be frowned upon to talk about in public!

and again sorry if i offended anyone, this was not my intention, my intention is to just understand so I can feel less nervous about being involved.

I've been doing skins for a while and would like to gift one to somebody. Just post a link to a ref or full body picture of what you would like and I'll pick one ...or two ...or three. I don't know, depends how many are interested.

If you wanna see what I can do, here and here were some furry ones that were recently commissioned. I also have an account on planet minecraft if you want to see my non furry stuff.

Or if you just wanna commission one off me you can go here.

Edit: I went to bed and yay there is finally some interest! I'll be making the skin later today :3

I'm confused. Since I was 9 or so (plus or minus a few years, I am in college now), I frequented a site called furry-paws. Since then, I've had a fursona. I've bought art, tags, whatever. My fursona is a perfect representation of my personality traits. A thread that I just saw here in /r/furry just spurred this question as I saw other responses. Other people have fursonas for their looks, just like OCs. That is not what I was taught a fursona should be.

Back then, people only had feral fursonas. Even on sites other than furry-paws (wajas, sledzz before it shut down, cattails, sites I can't remember anymore but I know existed at some point) they were always feral. The concept of anthro fursonas was not introduced to me until, get this - earlier this year when I started coming here. I kind of felt sheltered and lied to. I am not and never have been "attracted" to the anthro characters, but at the same time I have also never been "attracted" to feral characters, either. I thought it was just the perfect way for those of us who like animals in a platonic way to get more in touch with our natural side in this world which is so overrun with humanity.

After the things I've seen here, I don't think I am a furry. I am not a therian, I do not think I am an animal. I don't really know where to go or what label to slap on myself. Can anyone explain?

Well now, you learn something new every day… This is from the publisher’s press release: “Walt Kelly’s Pogo, acknowledged as one of the most important and influential comic strips of all time, first appeared not in newspapers but as a feature in the Dell comic book anthology Animal Comics, in its first issue, in 1942. The complex, multi-layered, character rich world of Pogo and the Okefenokee Swamp started in these early stories. Now, fans of Pogo can experience it all from the beginning with Hermes Press’ reprint of the complete Dell Comics Pogo. Volume 1 features all of the Animal Comics Pogo stories together with complete reprints of Pogo’s appearances in Dell’s Four Color comics. With Hermes Press’ complete reprint of the Dell Comics Pogo, admirers of this ground-breaking comic feature can now witness the strip’s evolution, in an archival hardcover, digitally reconstructed to perfection.” Unfortunately you’ll need to wait for October to see Walt Kelly’s Pogo: The Complete Dell Comics, Volume 1 (in hardcover) but you can pre-order it at Barnes & Noble.
