I found out about fursuits when I was trying to come up with a skit for trying out to be my college mascot.

    14 year old me predated e621, and FA. My first horny searches were for anything in a harness; sky/BASE jumpers, rock climbers, utility workers, draft animals. Discovering pony play, and other kinks was pretty quick, but it wasn’t for another 6-7 years when I was trying to get ideas for a skit for trying out to be my college mascot that I discovered furies. I wonder if I was 10 years younger what the path of discovery would have looked like. Still no fursona, but I found a cool picture of a fuzzy moth I’m using here. Other than here, I just lurk in the background.

    Some of the first implementations of google images were a great way to bypass age gates, and other things, it was basically a proxy. Sites didn’t redirect you to the landing page if you had a direct link, so if I didn’t see the landing page there was no age gate to lie to.
