Dear Papa Bear, 

I had suspected my good friend of being interested in the furry fandom for a few years. Turned out he was but was too “embarrassed,” afraid of rejection or being teased while in high school. It is great that he acknowledges that he is interested in it, but I’m afraid knowing someone he has been friends with for along time he might go over the top announcing it to the world or really “bedroom” conversation I'm not going to be interested in. Question is, “How can I guide him from being over the top with too much furry pride at one time to his friends and family or tell him to calm down if he is not ready to tell others?” I went through this and it was a rough emotional roller coaster, and I feel I can only be there for him because I feel it is not my place to tell him what to do when the fandom is about being unique and expressing yourself.

Hi, Kim,

What do you mean, exactly, by "going over the top"? And why do you think that your friend, who was silent on the matter in high school, would suddenly be outrageously overt about his furriness?

I've seen it before with others and people I know and myself where if you feel comfy enough with peers you feel that everyone will accept you like your friends do when that's not the case.

Kim, 


I would think that if he was nervous about being publicly furry before he wouldn’t suddenly do a 180 and be outrageously over the top with his furriness. Just because you and some others did that doesn’t necessarily mean he will.

It would likely be sufficient for you, as his friend, to express your concerns to him, relate your own experiences, and let him make his own decisions from there. Assuming he is an adult, like you, he is old enough to live his own life and make his own decisions. Be a friend, be there for him, share what has happened to you, and then relax and don’t worry about it. You’re not responsible for other people’s lives.

Hugs,

Papabear

Note: This is mainly going to be a vent post.

Last night, with literally no warning, my Facebook account was suspended because I used the name of my fursona instead of my real name. The specific reason given was that I "wasn't using the name I would use with friends."

Since the name I used is how I introduce myself in person, and the vast majority of furs would only recognize me by my fursona, I'd say that reasoning is entirely flawed in this case. However, since communicating with an actual person at Facebook seems to be impossible, I don't even have a chance to try and explain that. The only thing I can do is submit both my real name and an official ID with my name, picture, etc.

Has anyone else dealt with this issue? I imagine there is nothing I can do to reverse the decision, and since I don't want to use my real name or provide my ID to Facebook, my account is almost certainly done for.

TL;DR: I used "Outsider Wolf" as my name on Facebook, and with no warning my account was suspended last night. Now the only way to reactivate it is to submit my real name and a photo of an official ID. Since I don't want to do that, and it looks like there is no way to contest the decision, this is apparently the end of my Facebook account.

It all began 4 hours ago when I turned my PC on. I played a round of WarThunder and saw a peculiar player with a username "WHAT_IS_LOVE" we sang the song in chat and when the round ended I closed the game and opened 10 hours of What is love just to have some fun and giggles.

In the comments someone had an anime avatar and that reminded me of Girls und Panzer so I closed what is love and opened Bohemian Eagle's channel and watched a weekly blog thingy and he had a link that led to....this. In 2015.

So I decided to do that to my friends and they got mad so I posted this gif to them. The gifs got me to imgur.

I spent roughly half an hour when I realised that 90% of the posts there were reposted on 9gag. And after 3 hours of scrolling on 9Gag I got to this post and when I looked to the comments about 90% of them were about...well, furries. OP was a furry and he was pissed about people who didn't understand what is a furry(and he didn't explain it).

So I got on google and searched for it and that got me a definition. It wasn't far from what I expected. They mentioned few websites and one of them was Furaffinity so I got on it and closed it because it wasn't for me (the furry stuff, I thought it was a forum for furries :P).

I felt a bit empty so I returned to that 9gag post and explained to people what a furry is (Copy+Paste). Nobody cared. I remembered that there is a section on DA called "anthro" (pomorphical) so I opened that and found this cool picture which led me to the war in Ukraine for some reason and I searched about it on google.

One of the top google search results was a Reddit post. When I read it all I returned to the main reddit site and this post was on the "Top section" so I opened it and saw that it was a r/furry post. And here I am now.

I've been furries for like 3 years but in that times, there's just about 200ish furries here in Indonesia, and no one of them visiting reddit AFAIK.

I'd like to ask, is there any of you guys from Indonesia/SEA?, or maybe planning to visit here?
And, if you want to ask something, just ask!
