Do you remember when and what helped you discover your affinity for furries? If you do, I'd like to hear your stories!
To get the ball rolling I'll start with mine. While I certainly can't pinpoint the exact date I became fixated on anthros, I can absolutely remember getting Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast when I was 7 or 8 (2000ish).
Seeing Tails was all I needed to get hooked, and want to be a cool fox like him. I didn't even have a word for it until I started using the internet years later, but my furry fate was sealed from then onward. It was the catalyst that got me into fantasizing about having fur and a big tail, and got me doodling lots of Sonic art as a kid. While I've long since stopped making Sonic art, Tails still holds a special place in my heart over 20 years later.
Geometry Dash
This has me curious, as I don't know the game too well. Are their maps with furry content on them? Maybe a content creator with a fursona, or perhaps fan art of the game?
Surprisingly, I've played a gigantic amount of time at this game and i only remember one level where there was kinda furry content in it, but can't remember the name.
I actually found the furry fandom through someone i met on this game. I was young and cringe and i noticed another player's level that i thought was cool and asked him for a collab. We did a level together and we continued to talk via discord, where he sent me some of his artworks sometimes. I was amazed by this, i really love those drawings. And so after searching for similar pieces i found what are furries and since then I can pass a day without thinking about fluff xD. Unfortunatly we lost contact, but it was a really sweet person and i enjoyed chatting with him a lot.
If you want here is the level we made.
That is incredibly wholesome, I'm glad you two met and shared those moments together!
