inspired by a dear friend of mine..
Personal Background
for years, quite literally FOUR years (if not more), I’ve been trying to shake myself from the allegations that i am a furry. i don’t know how they started, who came up with this narrative, or even what basis they were made on. i’m just a boy. a boy that enjoys being pretty. a boy that loves the last of us. a boy that enjoys hanging out and nature. and occasionally, i’m a boy that likes to wear a tail and ears, and maybe have a fursona that i would eventually, one day, like to get a fursuit for…. but that doesn’t make me a furry. that makes me a boy who likes dress up. and what is a good boy if not a boy that likes dress up. not a good boy in **THAT** way, but a good boy in the way of like… what makes a boy good. and i’m nothing if not a good boy.
you may be asking, “boypuppy, your literal blog domain is ‘boypuppy’. how are you NOT a furry?”. And my response to you is simply… mind your business? anyways, here’s my how to guide on how to get others to mind their business and stop calling you a furry if you also deal with this issue.
How-To
1
Be yourself.
At the end of the day, no one can tell you who you are other than you! Go out into the world and be true to who you are.
2
Gaslight.
When someone says “you’re a furry”. DENY DENY DENY, make them believe that anything they ever have thought and will think is false. Maybe even send them into a light-handed stage of psychosis if you must. Protect your true identity at all costs.
3
Find a Support System
When the allegations and lies people tell about you all seem to become too much, it’s good to have a group of trusted individuals you can fall back on and ask for support. Preferably a group of like-minded individuals, like others who may have received similar allegations. r/furry on Reddit.com may be a good place to start.
4
Feed Into It
After a certain point, you may get tired of being called names. I assume that’s why you’ve come here. You know what they say, if you cant beat em, join em. This really shuts people up. Wear that tail you’ve always wanted to wear. Go out and blow a paycheck on your fursuit setup. Make art of your fursona. Then, what do people have to say about you now? They’ll shut their mouths, shamefully, seeing how their words have impacted you.
5
Now, Continue Enjoying Life
Now that you have successfully silenced the masses, you can go on continuing your life as peaceful as it was before people began minding your business. Show them all how wrong they were, command the room to fall to their knees when you walk in. Full fursuit and all. You’ve earned this.
