@aesmael @nire@witches.town :nods: Were it 20 years ago I might well be called a ~lifestyler~ or something but to me I'm just a fox? So like, of course I'll make yappy noses and nip/lick people affectionately and stuff. (I mean, in safe/appropriate contexts anyway.) It's not a costume.

@nire@witches.town @aesmael Furry as a whole just didn't click for me until I actually figured out my species. That genuine, deep identification is the *point* of being into furry stuff, as far as I'm concerned.

@aesmael @nire@witches.town And like, I can see being into it as costumes and characters and stuff and maybe that works for a lot of people but gosh it's missing out on so much.
