Maid Marian and Road Rovers.

>always liked animal people

>find encyclopedia dramatica in high-school

>find furries

>read all the stuff about how furries are pathetic losers who'll accept anyone

>file it away for later

>eventually through a very long and winding route make a fursona on a regular forum and read more about furry

>wind up pissing some people off, then making good. stop being an annoying kid and graduate to being very boring.

>join a few furry communities, assuming it should be fine and interesting

>realize it's cliquish and that for the most part i'm just ignored for being a boring person. realize that while my focus had been on ED's "the fandom is pathetic" i didn't focus enough on "the fandom is for porn" and have little-to-no interest in discussing porn. (or even really the works of furry creators that i wasn't friends with, and since i had no friends... yeah my interest was basically in animal people as a concept or from commercial media)

>return to normal forums

>eventually leave those, try another forum for younger users

>again, nice enough but mostly ignored and find increasingly i have nothing to talk about and little in common with others.

>eventually withdraw to imageboards as my only form of e-communication and follow vague internet drama at a distance. can never overcome the vague sense of disappointment with what the fandom really is, or stop judging it for being a pornography factory.

>conclude to myself that if i ever make any anthro media, i'll deny any and all association with the fandom to my dying breath.

I've had a lot of exposure to it over the years. When I was fapping, there was plenty of furshit around the areas I hung out.

Mostly, though, the interest was due to a lust after the unknown. Ideals of 'muh love conquers all' play a huge part in that. All my favorite stories were friendships and loves between strange creatures and humans.

Well I was basically raised on Scooby doo and Disney movies so I never stood a chance. Fucking scoob turned me into a paw fetishist

What how

>be sheltered and nerdy, living in the sticks

>sometime during early puberty

>horny all the time, but no cable, mags, or private internet, so I don't have porn

>already degenerate enough to fap to polygonal girls in N64 Zelda instead

>latest crush on a girl at school had just ended, I forget why, but that meant no current fixations

>walking out of walmart

>pass a poster for Starfox Adventures, as tall as I was

>eventually cut out the cover art from a newspaper ad, fap to that

>add female zora to the fap list

>still fap to game furries

>look up images of Krystal

>discover furry porn, and with it, furries

>much porn collection and fapping

>develop strange new fetishes

>still into furry porn, but gave up on the community years ago

>somehow still straight

So, walmart turned me into a furry.

>>58977

I dunno man, all I remember is that I kept looking at them and wanted to know how they felt

>>58942 (OP)

>watched many Disney cartoons, didn't think much about it

>had no porn available, only thing that gave me fantasies were texts about mating habits in the shittons of animal books I collected as a kid

>discovered hentai via Kazaa

>discovered Dr. Comet via Kazaa

>ended up drawing on his BBS, but human art wasn't allowed, so I had to draw furry characters

>took me a long time that I realized I've lost interest in 2D humans completely, just now re-discover human porn with 3D animation

But I think it goes deeper psychologically, I've been disgusted by acted hardcore porn my whole life until X-Art came up, means I started early with knowing the theory of sex through and through, but I'm massively turned off/ scared by actual contact with naked bodies or looking at my own, and fur is basically still wearing things. I also prefer in porn when she still wears something (except those fugly whore boots pls).

>Growing up in the late 80's and early 90's, and there was no escape

>Disney, old Disney, Don Bluth, Warner Brothers, Hannah-Barbera; just furries everywhere in every cartoon

>Got some weird feelings with Robin Hood (and the characters from some abysmally-bad Pound Puppies movie), but didn't think much of it

>Was too young to correlate romantic/friendly feelings with anything sexual (sex was something I did by myself humping soft things)

>Around age ten, start experimenting with other boys, start believing that "cartoons are for babies"; furry feelings go into remission

>Hit early teen years: Dragonball Z and anime writ large was our British Invasion

>Go from anime to fanart to yaoi in about five seconds flat, then later discover shotacon and get deeply into it as well

>Have a boyfriend in high school; he's a furry and he shows me some lewd stuff but early 00's furry art was mostly garbage (especially the flash animations like HTH, holy fuck) and it's all adults so I don't really care; I don't want to "be a furry" anyway

>Fast forward to adulthood, and get over the "cartoons are for kids" phase; start re-watching all my childhood standbys for nostalgia reasons, and realize that my feelings for the furry characters are still warm and fuzzy, just now also very lewd

>Suddenly Softpaw is a thing; wait, you can have furry and shotacon at the same time!; dive headfirst into cub with no regrets, but back then it was usually called "critters"

>A couple years later, randomly hookup with my ex from high-school, and he convinces me to try the furry "community" which of course means I should get a fursona

>Research animals endemic to the area I live in, and ones that have "personality traits" similar to my own

>Can't decide between a raccoon and a grey fox; decide to hybridize them together into a coonfox

And that was roughly ten years ago.

>me

>end of middle school/early high school (I don't remember)

>parents never formally gave me "the talk"

>Dad tried when I was much younger, but I tuned him out

>Mom talked about "where babies come from," but only talked about everything *after* sex actually happens

>tl;dr finishing up middle school and Idk what sex is

>friends and classmates all making sex jokes

>I find most of them funny, but don't get a lot of *why* they're funny

>decide to look up words I don't know in my DSi browser at night

>took forever to spell "semen" correctly

>never used Google images because I'm not an idiot, jic it's something gross

>turns out there's a fuck ton I'm clueless about

>no clue how sex works

>feel uncomfortable looking at porn

>look up animals instead because they show it on TV, so it's okay, right?

>purely research at this point

>eventually leads to just wanting to see more

>looking up dolphin sex and stumble across e621 and some anthro dolphin orgies

>gradually get to frequenting the site after I find the Pokémon tab

>fap to Pokéfur porn for years through high school

>ff a bit to after graduation

>curiously download kik

>find Pokéfur groups

>deny my inner furmenting furry self

>ff another year

>gradually realize I'm a furry

>can't deny it myself

>after years of outside stigma, finally like anthro again

>inner bisexuality finally dawns on me after years of subconscious suppression despite all the Poké-dicks I've fapped to over the years

>I've emerged a powerful furfag

>Lack of sex-education turns kids into bisexual furries

We need to send this to every single conservative lawmaker.

That fucking Robin Hood movie

I was always into werewolf movies and stuff, but it was completely innocent, then my folks got me a computer. The worst thing I ever did was take my interests online, it just snowballed instantly. Somehow I ended up at paws.ru (rip) and I was never the same.

What might be involved was that growing up I was surrounded by bad people, so I had it in my head for a really long time that people could just be expected to be bad by default, or that their being bad would be something of a trait inherent to their being people or their being human. Then came furries as a loophole to that that I may have latched the fuck on to on account of my having been absolutely desperate to be able to know or to be able to imagine a person who wasn't bad.

Wow, you must be 15 or something.

>be a kid

>Be really into digimon

>like REALLY into digimon

>Fuck that pussy ass pokemon shit, Digimon is where it's at

>Get to tamers

>Renamon's "Utilize me!" line

>Start to feel kind of funny

>rewind that shit and watch it again without knowing why

>That night, have a dream

>The dream had nothing to do with digimon and instead had me tied down and being used as breeding fodder for an endless line of ponies. I had never even seen my little pony before.

Trips wasted

I got banned from DA and had to go to furry sites with no other choice in the matter.

Then I didn't lick a popufur's ass the right way and she turned her fanboys against me, fuck that stupid easily-offended cunt. Lesson learned, do not piss off popufurs in even the slightest, they can't take critique, differing ideas, or anything that isn't an asspat.

Just as well I guess, in the end the rampant rape apologist attitude over Zaush grossed me the fuck out so I would have gotten the fuck out regardless.

>driving to someone's house is not consent for sex, dumbasses!

Plus the rampant rise of conservative shit in the fandom is disturbing, mainly because it's hypocritical.

Now I'm drafting a tell-all letter to send to numerous media outlets, the FA note leaks will be cited.

I found the wikipedia article while in highschool, don't know how though.

>Born in 1999

>Watched a whole lot of TV

>Mostly PBS and Cartoon Network

>Loved Tom & Jerry and Arthur in particular

>Read a lot of books such as Goodnight Moon, Max & Ruby, The Berenstain Bears, Owen and Chrysanthemum

>I thought nothing odd of anthropomorphic animals because of those shows and books

>As I grew older, I spent large amounts of time on Wikipedia

>Came across the page for furries

>Thought it was normal, since I was too young to understand the sexual side to it

>Clicked on many more pages relating to furries, as I found it interesting

>More time passed

>Discovered furry porn

>Didn't like it nor did I get it

>Suddenly, puberty kicked in

>I started thinking more positively about furry porn, but didn't fap to it

>More years later, I went onto /e/ on cuckchan to see what is the sexiest ecchi anime

>Finds it and downloads it, and was in awe

>Decides to fap to it, to see if it was possible

>Not realizing I made myself want to jerk off to anything with tits or asses

>One of the many things I fapped to was furry porn

>After that, furry media became one of my many cups of tea

I became a furry because of American media and I decided to fap as some kind of experiment

>Born 1979

>Saw "The Secret of Nimh" second or third run in theatre

>Felt an almost magnetic attraction, but only in the sense of wanting to know/be friends with the characters, not any feeling of BEING an anthropomorphic critter

>That attraction stayed put over the years, until I grew out of "imaginary friend" age

>Skip to 1997

>Friend gives me a floppy disk someone else gave him

>Contains several generic hentai pics, one by Doug Winger of Minerva Mink blowing a horse, and one of Belle riding Beast

>Best has a knot. I'm confused. Friend asks why he has two ballsacks

>He's a beast, he can totally have two ballsacks!

>See "Doug Winger" sig, search it

>Find some sort of furry archive

>Late '97, meet a furry on AOL's roleplay chat rooms, and off I go

>Still know that guy, actually

I objectively become a furry from the worst fandom imaginable

>Wee child left with a bunch of Hanna Barbara cartoons.

>Chatted with people on neopets on a daily basis for a couple years

>Moved to gaia online because they banned users less

>Found several furry guilds there

>Eventually outgrew the place and moved to FA when I came to terms with all my most potent fetishes.

>Now roam F-list in search of the rare roleplayers that both can write complete sentences and has similar taste.

>September 15, 1989.

>Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers premiers in primetime with the two-hour movie, To The Rescue.

>Halfway through, a mech robot opens, and a blonde mouse in a lavender jumpsuit comes out.

>Gadget Hackwrench

>Tiny 8-year-old heart explodes in inexpressible desire

>Later goes on to create a fursona in high school, based on Tiny Toon fangasming, but Gadget remains Olympic gold waifu.

I might have already posted this but

>had no exposure to people who were mentally healthy and well-adjusted as a child

>unconsciously built up an assumption throughout my childhood that I could only ever expect people to just automatically be crazy and destructive

>then along come anthros; they're the perfect loophole to all the negative ideas I'd built up about people and all the aversions I'd built up towards people and so I just latch right on to them

Y'know, it's considered very poor form to announce your identity when it's not strictly necessary to do so, but I really like your stories, if it's actually AlexReynard I'm replying to here.

What's with all these fucking namefags? You know we don't know who the fuck you are; neither do we care.
