I think WP should have a furry club, what do you think?
The thread for it should probably be kept in a members only area though.

I've been drawing anthropomorphic furry cartoon animals decades before the word "furry" became a noun. When I was a kid instead of the usual blankie or teddy bear my "transitional object" was a pink bunny costume. My mother drew the line at me wearing it at the store or school. I love to dress up for Halloween but if I dress in a full-bodied animal suit I get way too hot even at the end of October, especially if I go to a dance or party that's indoors. I collected G1 MlPs before they were called G1 and my mother thought 13 was too old for such things. I'm female so obviously I can't be a broney. A pegasister, maybe?
I worry a lot that people will label me as a furry just because of my cartoons even though I don't wear animal suits outside of Halloween. And if I show anything MLP-related on my YouTube videos I don't allow comments.
I argue that females can be "bronies" too, but "pegasister" is still a fairly commonly used term. You don't have to adopt either label to be a fan of MLP though.
Again, you don't have to adopt the furry label to be a fan of anthropomorphic animals, and on the flipside, I also don't think one has to dress up in animal costumes to be a furry. I consider myself a furry, as I'm a fan of anthropomorphic animals, but I don't own a fursuit.
I can see why people wouldn't want to associate themselves with that label though, as there are a lot of negative connotations that go with it. Even though both the furry and brony fandoms have a lot of rabid members I would rather not associate with, I still consider myself a member of both fandoms, I just distance myself from the more unsavoury aspects.

No,i commissioned it by a fursuit maker. Of course only about 20% wear a fursuit,most at the con in Pittsburgh were wearing tails and ears.
