for me it was A LOT of things!!! my earliest “furry moment” was when i made a minecraft oc based on an aphmau episode and the oc was a green and purple cat standing on two legs xD i still have her to this day!! some other things that contributed to me becoming a furry was FNAF, animal jam, animation memes and amino =3

My gateway into the fandom funnily enough was My little pony friendship is magic. I was like really obsessed with that show especially the character designs I would always imagine myself in the world of the show as a pony talking to the characters. after I grew up and got into watching YouTube.despite having really bigoted and hatefully views for like a year I eventually grew a soft spot for The Fandom after watching a video of a seemingly normal convention and seeing how kind and pretty cool the community was. I especially admired how willing the fandom is too just apologetically be themselves. realizing this helped me get out of my hatefully mindset and inspired me to engage with the fandom on a deeper level.

I have been a furry since 2009!! I used to watch speed paints on YouTube back then and that's what's made me creative too (●´ω`●)

i think, ironically, it was all the old 80s-00s kids animations[mostly disneys] like robin hood is my biggest memory. i remember loving the king for his absolute campy persona, but i loved marian because i thought she was a real* princess (*like among the ranks of cinderella and them) XoDDD i started drawing nekomimis on everything and slowly learned i prefer drawing furries ^w^ i was also suuper into furry amvs/multi animator projects!! its how i found most of my current music tastes

I really got interested when I met some furrys who showed me what the fandom really was. Though long before this I was making furry OCs and playing Kaiju Paradise.

i actually have no idea how i got into being a furry, but i definitely grew up on the internet and was exposed to furry media, although not to a huge extent. then came me being accused of being a furry, which led to years worth of denial before i ended up accepting that i was a furry. it didnt help that i was literally bringing warrior cats books to school and was considered one of them weird art kids LOLLLLL. i ended up accepting that part of myself at around 2022? 2023? definitely not old.

i'm gonna be real and say spite xD even though i was around a lot of the content at a young age (sfw thankfully) i never was "in the fandom" until i heard some of my family members say they were all weird and horrible so i decided to start saying i was one to stun them and it eventually lead me to fall down the rabbit hole of the fandom

Me and my old bestfriend were furries as a "joke" in middle school... safe to say it was never a joke for me.. I was in severe denial for years and on top of it my bestfriend actually hated furries so i felt bad for being one, BUT I AM NOW SO
