Violent J is creating a fursona and has ordered a fursuit.

His daughter taught him about furries and he felt ashamed because he was making fun of them like everyone else, but he realized furries are a lot like juggalos and he is going to support them and is planning to go to a fur con.

Ruby having her dad with her is probably the safest possible way for her to enjoy a furcon

I don't like the idea of young kids getting near furry conventions because of all the sickos who attend and all the porn around, but for older kids/young adults having an adult they trust take an interest in their hobby and be there to discourage bad decision making (well, worse decision making since the furry thing is already pretty bad) is probably really healthy.

I guess this is the furry equivalent of a parent showing up to his kids' soccer games or something

Also not to forget is the Redwall Online Community, once a pretty big thing, but now long defunct. A lot of the same 80s/90s kid demographic who read Redwall and watched the animal-centric cartoon media at the turn of the millennium ended up taking the ROC route into the furry fandom back in the early and mid 2000s. Though I would hazard a guess that most of that cohort have been cycled out by now, since many are in their 30s and even early 40s.

The ROC- now that is a name I haven't heard in a very, very long time.
That is how I discovered the furry fandom and the overall broadness of the uh. Interest in anthropomorphics, from sites like Yerf to VCL, FanArchive, FN, etc. I've always found that furries/anthros were an interesting subject to draw and design worlds around, but the wider spectrum of the fandom is a bizarrely interesting and often an embarrassing thing to observe. I think a lot of us who post in Animal Control are either furries, people who have some kind of loose association to the fandom, either through art, writing, etc, or those who enjoy watching the ever growing fuckstorm that the fandom has become.

I'd say something about bad influences but her dad is Violent J.
 
The guy who made that car analogy tweet is also a fursuit creator and is probably just hoping hard they can fish for a similar idiot. Methinks the buyer got their hands on inheritance money and doesn't really know the value of it. Twist it however you want, there's no reason to be paying 8 times the face value for a suit that wasn't even made to order.

What baffles me more is actually bidding so much on a suit for a character that isn't yours. Why? I thought half the point of suiting was to be your own character. The whole idea of selling intangible characters in general never made sense to me.

Today on furries are stupid with money: A $17k animal costume auction.

This led to many furries, already broke and knowing the going price for fursuits is in the $2-4k range to go "why":

Some furries are salty at people mocking this:

All I see here are people making some legitimate comments on how dumb it is to buy a USED fursuit for 17k and furries defending a person wasting her money. But they're right; you can spend your money how you want to. However, don't get upset people start mocking you for a used fursuit you bought for 17k that has no other purpose other than a used fursuit that's not even your character. All the people defending the buyer just cement the fact that most furries have a childish view of the concept of money and horrible spending/saving habits. Art is subjective yes, but this thing sold for what? 4x-6x the normal price of a fursuit and the shit is used? I cannot get over that shit. Honestly.
 
I think it's funny furries gloat about charity when stuff like this happens. The thing about boat and car owners is that they don't act like they're some great person otherwise and talk about the car or boat hobbies being kindness or charity based. It's not like Mixed Candy is in any dire financial straits, anyways. It's even funnier how furries brigade about human rights (there was a bubble of twitter drama about cons donating to animal instead of human charities) when that 20k could have really helped some people in Flint or something.
 
it is weird that someone decided to drop 17k on a premade character, but i guess it goes in hand with the fact that it's a latinvixin suit. so it's like some idiot dropping $500+ on limited edition supreme stickers, it's all name brand and bragging rights.

I wonder if Brian Jacques ever found out about the fantastic efflorescence of :autism::autism::autism: he indirectly helped foist on the world. The ROC was a net negative, I think. An innocent gateway to the increasingly Islamic world of the furry fandom.
 
The thing is, pretty much all furry characters are just variations on a small number of themes anyway, so would her own custom designed character have even been that different?
