Has anyone come out to you about being a furry or have you forced one of your friends to admit to being one? Well not forced, but egged on that he or she is a furry.

I generally don't talk about sexual fetishes with my friends, but I told one of em' once; But that guy is a filthy fuck so it doesn't count.

Well i doubt my real life friends actually know what a furry is, but then we all have something that we never tell others about.

Nope.

I actually found out that one of my best friends is a furry.
I'm actually not sure if he's into the porn but it's not like I'm going to ask him that. He says he wants a fursuit.

I've told one other friend though

not really but notable part of my irl friends follow me on tumblr and i occasionally post furry stuff and i keep drawing furry stuff and i keep drawing pics of my fursona and so on... im p sure that they know.

I have no intention of telling them about it,even when I know they suspect on me, mainly because I'm here mostly for the porn. Since their opinion on the fandom is based on fursuiters, otherkin and so.

However since we all have seen some weird shit for the lulz, I can freely talk about Straight WoW porn or the impact of BD stuff on the internet, LOL.

On the other hand I have one other friend who I suspect he is, but I don't have enough proofs.

A friend of mine came out to me twice in short succession.

It was hilarious, during a short break from raiding he whispered to me "I have a boyfriend" and all I could answer was "ABOUT DAMN TIME!" because I have been teasing him about showing homophobe tendencies over the past 4 years that I knew him.
Wasn't really unexpected that he came out.

Then a couple days later he said that he and his boyfriend are furries and obviously the first thing I said was that, if he ever needs furry porn I can help him. He didn't find that as funny as I did. Pussy. (he has a canine as fursona)

I've discussed sexuality and stuff with him before that, so we're pretty open about the subject in general, he knew that I admin on a porn page before he came out, which is also likely why he chose me to come out to as one the first people he told about it in general.

This.

No intentions on ever telling friends irl. Atleast not at this point in my life. I could give two shits if they suspect or not.

I don't understand why anyone would suspect you of being a furry unless you growl or bark at people.

my friends know that i am a furry, or at least the ones that do know what furries are. I am not very secretive about it i guess, i just post what i draw on facebook and such, except the nsfw stuff that is, and discuss the fandom with them. i sort of dragged my best friend with me into the fandom,and introduced her to furries and bronies, now i also ask for her critiques, even on my more saucy art.

hell, one day i even wore cat-ears to school, and took my mlp plushie with me, got me a few strange looks though, especcially from the teachers, lol

You are assuming people is blind at subtle stuff, or small details.
For example, in my case, they noticed that I mostly use animal races in RPG's, the most notorious would be my worgen and argonian characters.
That and showing them http://imgur.com/r/dragonsfuckingcars is thrwing wood at the fire.

I've had a couple close friends find out I have an e6 account, somehow. Their reactions were more than amusing.

There was also the time where another friend left this on his floor when I came over.

That pretty much confirmed he's a furry.

That welcome message. ".. If you're too young or are not comfortable with this, please run away screaming." So polite. :D

As for OP, I never saw the sense in it. I'm not 'a member of a subculture', that's not how my identity works. I just like what I like -- plenty of that's furry, plenty of it's not. It's just a matter of taste.

Furry's not like say, being bi, where being "out" potentially has notable impact on other people in the world. It's more like tea vs coffee -- an excuse for pointless arguments, and nothing much else. What you like isn't good or bad, it's just what you like.

Closest thing I've ever had to a girlfriend (Not saying much... I don't have the courage to actually get a girlfriend) was this girl in High School who read furry webcomics. That's about as "Furry" as any friend I've had is.

"I am a wolf in all ways except physical."

There was this random chick who my friends and I were hanging out in my dorm room and she saw this poster hanging in my room and for some reason that like instantly told her that I was a furry. I don't even fucking know why. She then proceeded to talk about a bunch of shitty catgirl animus because she was a dumb weeaboo. But whatevs, you can't win them all.

First SO was a furry and pretty much got me into it. I was already kinda a "furry fan" but she's who really dragged me into the culture, forced me to make an FA account and create a fursona, etc. etc. Its a shame she's not really around anymore, I think she'd get a real kick outta what I've been doing the past year or so. ... Anywyay, yeah, she came out to me after we started dating. So I think that counts.

Also had some friends do the exact opposite though. They were talking about how open they were sexually, "just anything but furries. That shit's so wrong."

She alright? She ain't dead, is she?

Furry like being interested furry artwork or furry like roleplaying?

I had a friend who used to LARP up until her late teens.

She hated furries for some reason.

Not even in my nightmares

Hmmm.... thinking about it more, I recall posting stuff from here to my facebook so family and acquaintances might have gotten an idea that I like the stuff but they are not sure (I think)...

...except my younger brother, he might suspect it. I also suspect the same from him, but unless one of us tells, we will never know...

no no no no no no no no no no no no no

No no, nothing like that. We just broke up, she moved away, we stopped talking (after i started dating someone else) and then I guess she got out of the furry fandom. All her online accounts I knew of are dead. Last I heard she was living in San Francisco or thereabouts, and we just haven't spoken in years.

It's so saddening to see relationships breaking.

And here I thought Ylvis would have made more people open about their interests. Do Star Fox fans count?

I wouldn't think so. That would be like saying fans of early Disney animations are furries because the characters are anthropomorphic.

They may not know it, but they're getting there ;D

It's the gateway to furry culture, but taking vitamin pills does not make one a drug addict.

First it's vitamin C, then Calcium tabs, then placebo's. Then you just jump straight to cocaine.
