OHHH YEAH let’s start the year with providing possibly TMI to Internet folks, here’s a meme about furry fandom swiped from online friends!

10) my opinion of fursuits have changed over time. Initially because ears and tails were static I didn't want a suit, but thought they were technically neat (very much the "magic of special effects!" nerves). Now though I'm a lot more interested in performing as a character, and how fursuits are their own thing, part of furry's festival atmosphere and potentially a nice augment to weed (I of course would never want a fursuit for the purpose of stoned lying on the floor listening to Kyuss).
I *do* think it's a little too easy to use a great looking suit as substitute for being an okay person and I definitely think they're an overemphasized part of fandom simply because they're that visible - a little like assuming all SCAdians are fighters with their own elaborate armors.
