A friend of mine is working on a class speech about furries. He's been having trouble finding any real resources for it. I was wondering if anyone has stumbled upon interesting articles or reads about members of the furry community. Anything furry related really. It'd be appreciated if I could help a friend gain a little more resources for his school project ^^
Aside from Wikipedia (lol) Furry fandom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia i don't think i've read any articles on this. Anyway, keep us updated about his project! Seems awesome!
I think this is the best general outline; Furry fandom - WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia That furry wiki will answer almost anything. Has your friend considered joining a furry website and asking questions there? Maybe he could interview a furry or two. Most furries are just artistic/creative people. They don't believe they are their alter-egos. Don't mix up furry community and the otherkin/therianthropy community. I've seen people do this. A furry otherkin is actually quite rare. I used to be a furry so I'll share two observations I've made over the years. I found it interesting that many heterosexual men enjoyed homosexual male furry pictures. And I think dragons can be a symbol of masculinity. Powerful, wise, rich, sometimes dangerous, much like a stereotypical ideal of a man. I accepted my attraction to dragons long before I was 100% comfortable with my bisexuality.
My friend is already part of the furry community ^^ He was hoping for some citable resources. I don't think wiki falls into that category, but I did help him getting an interview with a fursuiter who was on adult swim =3
