  • Furries are people who are interested in - and often dress up as - cartoon animals. We went to Melbourne Furry Convention to ask people why they’re in the furry community, and what their mum thinks about it.
    People will often spend thousands of dollars on fursuits and identify with a personalised animal character, known as their “fursona”. It’s a growing subculture of thousands in Australia that’s still heavily stigmatised - but fans say they’re just misunderstood.

      I'm really glad! I was the person in the green and white fursuit answering that question, I was a bit worried it might come off as a bit insensitive, but I'm really glad it warmed your heart! ^_^

    Awesome work to the reporter and support team
    Always great to see some good representation of the Furry Fandom!

    The problem is that people see a community as a completely collective conscious. Just because some like some questionable stuff dosnt mean the rest do. However the bad is always the part showing most since that's what graps attention. All a furry is, is someone who enjoys animals with human characteristics and that's it.

    • @TrebleSketch
      @TrebleSketch Před rokem +1

      Yeah!
      The time it takes to make one can take a while plus the materials and also just paying the artist in general, fursuits are honestly usually priced a lot lower than other costumes you see in movies/films.
