When did YOU choose to be a furry??

[loom]

I chose to be one maybe when I was 12 years old (in doggy years, of course :3)

I always loved when me and my dog got further than her just sniffing my crotch... x3

So, otherkin, when did you become a furry? :3

[Rucrue]

I chose it later in life, I saw how much fun people were having and though I could join in.
Meow
Always been a cat person myself, literally, lol :3
Meow
Would love to hear how others got into it, hopefully more interesting than mine

Steel, I'm normally a very passive person, but I do have my limits. So either fix the forum, or I'll track your ass down, strap an explosive to you and throw you in a river, and when the explosive goes off, people will think it was just a failed terrorist act. Seriously, you better have saved everything you took off the forum.

I know why this has happened, so I'm not gonna say it. But yes, Steel will be fixing things on his own tonight or tomorrow.

Legit? I was 13. Granted, I'm not the most active in the fandom xD

EDIT: Also, wanted to say a few things.

1. Furries in general hate people who abuse animals, or people who have sex with them. Yes, there a few freaks out there, but you can find them in any fandom if you look. On your average furry forum/site (provided you don't go onto some sort of porn site), the conversations are pretty...normal. xD
2. Otherkin and furries are two different animals. Furries are, by definition, people who are fans of anthropomorphic critters. Otherkin, however, truly believe that they are an animal or anthropomorphic creature trapped in a human body (sort of like a transgendered person, except with species). Otherkin can also believe that they are something that is not real (think a dragon, a faerie, etc). Otherkin can be furry, but not all furries are otherkin (in fact, most aren't- they're considered freaks).

So in summary- otherkin are batshit crazy, there is no real healthy way to be an otherkin. On the other hand, furry can be a hobby just like any other interest (very few people are what we call "lifestylers", which are people who go way overboard and take the fandom way too seriously- most furries just have a general interest and don't alter their lives/habits for the fandom).

Sorry, I just wanted to clear this up. I know this is a joke, but as a furry, I wanted to provide the truth of the matter as well. :3

I was 6 when I started drawing animal people.
They were cute a while back but then mostly when I got into college my mind got twisted a bit. >:3
They're not cute anymore!
They're the smexiest things. So now I draw them in lots of odd and awkward perverted positions~
Why didn't god create them to be our breeding cows?
I think I know. He kept them all to himself and is having furry orgies everyday instead of looking here.
THIS LUST I FEEL!

Just like Daniel did, I felt guilty being a straight white male and because of my persecution complex, I decided I needed to be part of a minority but not like a real minority cos that's too hard, just one persecuted enough for me to complain about it on the internet if somebody makes fun.  Thus I became a furry, but not like a real furry.  If I see anything furry related I get creeped out but srsly guys I am one and I'm going to mention it on skype every three seconds to remind you of it.  If you tell me to stop I'm gonna get real mad, rage-quit and block you from everything while I let my horrible parents continue their devil worshiping without doing anything about it while removing the friends who wanted to be supportive.  Totally a furry you guys.  Starfox for the win man, but not like the popular ones.  The low rated ones yeah *hipster*. Also I like Star Wars but I don't like R2D2 and prefer the expanded Universe to the films even though the only expanded universe stuff I've played are the video games and I ignore all the books, comics and stuff.  So basically I'm just like Daniel now.
