…? you mean us furries? why are there so many furries? lol
if so, the human fascination with animals is ancient. over time we began attributing human traits to their behaviors and started connecting to them on personal and spiritual levels. then when we started making art we depicting those anthropomorphic animals on cave walls.
furries simply inhabit a persona (fursona) to express themselves behind the security of the confidence being that character gives them. a lot of us feel like our fursona is an ideal representation of ourselves. it helps us connect to our own personhood, strangely.
it’s also fun and can be sexy if ya want.

I think it is interesting that relatively recently it became possible for furries to wear suits that allow them to express themselves in this matter. How many people throughout human history wished to be able to do this, but couldn’t because the “technology” simply wasn’t there.

i agree heh. i’m glad i’m a furry during a good time to be one. also, with more tech we get more advanced suits and species like protogens can exist IRL. there’s a lot of suit makers too, so there’s tons of unique styles. it’s neat.
