My SO and I are new furries. Advice?
My SO and I have enjoyed the occasional furry art every now and then but never really gotten into it. Lately, however, we have both taken a strong liking into the furry subculture. We just got back from an anime con and she decided to buy a tail, ears, and collar from the Furstars dealer. We couldn't afford anything for me unfortunately. I know that just the tail and ears doesn't make one a furry but we would both like to learn more about it and become part of the community. So could anyone give some advice or links that would help out some newborn furries?

About Isolation Play:
“Devlin Miski thought coming out on national TV would be the hardest part about being a gay football player. But it’s when his press conference is over that the trouble really starts. The athletic tiger and his boyfriend Lee, a fox with a tongue as quick as his wit, still won’t get many breaks in their fight for understanding. They’ll need to deal with a stubborn reporter determined to get a story any way he can, furious parents, and hostile teammates–not to mention each other.”

My perspective on "My Strange Addiction"
Personally, I felt that Lauren (the girl in MSA who was a furry) was driven to the fandom initially as an escape from the pains of her father's death. I think that his death caused her personality to flip around (she was described as being outgoing, and not shy prior to her father's death), and the fandom allowed for her to be able to escape her pains and other negative emotions tied to her own self-image by donning a fursuit.
However, it is clear that her mother and cousin are causing her to develop even more pain due to their disapproval of her actions. That probably caused her to introvert even more, so that her fursona became her constant escape. I don't approve of them using "addiction" as a description for what she does; for example, it's like hiding from a monster. The monster keeps appearing, and then the person hiding is criticized for trying to escape from the monster, which then adds to the "size" of the monster, and therefore, the problem grows.
TL;DR: Fursuit was an escape. Family makes her want to escape even more by criticizing escape.
P.S. Remember, this is just my opinion. If you have an alternate opinion, please voice it in the comments. Just don't flame like, "Y U NO UNDERSTAND??!! BEING A FURRY IS ABOUT .... ", etc.
edit: Beginning of each episode says "This program depicts addictive behaviors that are dangerous and risky in nature. Viewers should not attempt" Generalizations about furries get! Also, clips on TLC website are titled: Fursuit FETISH.
