If I hosted a deisgn competition, with the goal of creating a mascot for this group, who would be interested in joining? The winner would also receive a prize from me! What price would you guys want the chance to win? Digital art, suit parts, merch, etc?
I've been inviting people to Animal Antics and sometimes I get the response: "Whoa." I have a few furry friends so I know that there is a wholesome side to the furry community, but for people who aren't familiar I think they assume it's uh.... adulty? Is there a lot of misconceptions about the furry community?
Definitely. Even my mom thought furries were weird, until I told her "Zootopia has furries, and you like it" and that's when she realized that furries aren't limited to the weird side she saw/heard about. She actually bought a book to learn how to draw furries lol I think also for her certain furry art styles fall into uncanny valley territory, which I can understand 🤔 but now she knows there are lots of different styles. Also not exactly a misconception but you know how they say lots of furries work in tech?? Well I just found it funny that my friend who has a cute fox fursona is a software engineer lol
