bump

Im just starting to lurk /cgl/ and honestly havent even cosplayed yet. Furry cosplay doesnt appeal to me but whatever floats your boat...

Bitch I live in Pittsburgh. How the fuck do you think I feel about furry conventions?

Stu you sly motherfucker

... I wanna dress like him now

Don't know, depends on your level of intelligence

I live in Pittsburgh and I've wanted to go to AnthroCon for a few years now just for the experience. Friends always talk me out of it, though.

They have their cons, we have ours. Id say y-con is a much bigger embarrassment.

As far as I know there isn't one near me. Otherwise I'd go to it, it would be the most entertaining people watching ever.

I must say though I kind of admire fursuiters. It seems like that shit takes a lot of work. From a cosplayers perspective I can respect that, even though the end result is pretty creepy.

I don't care. They don't bother me, so whatever.

Yaoi con? That convention is funny even if your a straight male.

I like anime, I dress up like anime characters.
They like animals, they dress up like animals.
I don't see a problem with it.

>>4694098
Do it.
Just go and party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party, party!

>>4694120
Its not the content, its the attendees.

I imagine its worst for shy gay men. Just wanting to hang out, but getting mailed by sweaty hambeasts.

>>4694098
You have good friends

>>4694136

I agree, being afraid to do something on your own and letting others talk you out of that means you wouldn't be happy at that kind of con anyhow.

I secretly really want a cute fursuit of a lamb character but I don't think it would be worth the amount of money it takes to get one that looks decent, and all my friends would disown me. No one knows I'm a furry.

Its goddamn WEIRD going to downtown Pittsburgh during Anthrocon. Furries everywhere, which I guess is an interesting environment, but damn if it doesn't creep me out seeing them wave it me from across the street as I gawk.

I was thinking of going for a day, but it was 30 bucks, and I wasn't willing to pay that much for the novelty of it all.

>>4694201

I rather enjoy it all, and the novelty has yet to wear off. Sitting in the lounge during hours provides the opportunity ot meet many a different person.

Not personally interested, but hey, if that's what makes them happy.

>>4694098
it's because they love you anon

I went to one for a project and it actually wasn't bad at all. Everyone that I talked to was really nice and polite and I didn't run into very many of the stereotypical furries. It wasn't really worth my $30 though.

...I see one with my state flag.... starting to wonder if I know them.

>>4694185
Have to admit, that is freaking ADORABLE. I'm not a furry but I would wear that to a convention and love every minute of it.

The only thing really that makes me uneasy about furries is the ones fursuits themselves. Heck, anyone in a mascot outfit (even cosplaying a character like Kyuubi) just kinda scares me because I've noticed a lot of them don't talk. I'll admire them from a distance but I always get really nervous and try to walk away/hide if they come near me unless I know who's in the costume or they're talking to someone.

I lol'd.

>>4695030
Oh jeebus! I actually was zoomed in looking at that picture and didn't even notice!

>>4695035

I was looking for some costumes that weren't that cartoony bullshit, but looked like semi-legitimate animals, and BAM. That cheeky bastard.

>>4695024
The not talking thing is what gets me too. You say "great costume!" or something and they just nod and wave, staring at you. D:

>>4690610
Oh god There is that picture of the lolita furry at the front!
I am fine with furry's doing their own thing but the moment a Furry tries to combine it with Lolita is when I say, Get to fuck.

This picture is like a where's Waldo page or something. Each time I zoom I see something new and hilarious.

>>4694119
Same. It's one of my cosplay goals to make a mascot costume and shit is hard. And some of their tutorials about heads and moving jaws along with portable fans and underlying muscle suits are awesome.

It's mostly people cosplaying their OCs, as original characters are more of the cornerstone of furry fandom, which I guess would be fun to do. That sorta thing you don't see much at anime cons. I think I saw someone cosplaying an original vocaloid once..

WTF, what is Marvin the Martian doing in that crowd?

I think I just died a little inside.

they're okay. furries tend to be really, really annoying people though

>>4695061
this. And when they start rubbing on each other and acting like full fledged animals, sorta weirds me out a bit.
I do love all the fursuits Qarrezel does, they all look amazing

>>4695061
Yeah. That's what makes me so uneasy. Though the really cute white/red one another Anon posted is making me want to try it out. I'd be chatting it up though when I wore it, I'd be too selfconcious about making other people uneasy.

>>4695139
Whoah! That in insanely amazing. I can't even find appropriate words for that level of awesome.

>>4690610

Been trying to upload this now for 10 minutes but it's refusing so I finally just cropped it.

>>4695043
Something more like this?


The no talking thing is part of the 'mascot' aspect. Mascots at theme parks typically don't talk because they don't want to ruin the character, and the jaws tend not to move.
More and more fursuits have moving jaws, so more furries speak openly.
There's also a set rule list for behavior in a fursuit floating around the web somewhere. That might help you understand why they act the way they do in costume sometimes.

It doesn't appeal to me personally but I can appreciate that fursuiting takes loads of money and skill, and the wearers seem to enjoy it.

>>4695063
Wasn't that one posted on Lolita Secrets awhile back?

apples to oranges really

you can easily say that "all furries are shitty cosplayers" but i'm sure that's not true. i have basically no doubts about how the furry cosplay community functions in comparison to "this" one -- they're's a lot of incredibly retarded people, but also some decent ones with good costume-making skills and etiquette.

i see no difference other than the fandom is different.

granted, this is excluding nightmarish rumors of what goes on at anthrocon, but we've all read the weeaboo horror stories threads (and probably witnessed similar dumbassery firsthand) so i can't say this fandom is much better in comparison...

>bros. younlyth

Certain furries creep me out (the ones that insist they are animals trapped in human bodies, anyways) but the ones I've met irl aren't too bad, and I can't help but admire their skills. Fursuits aren't easy to make.

>>4695114
i have a furry character i created a while back. while i love everything about the character, i am not a furry. i don't want to yiff, don't want to have sex as her. i would LOVE to make an awesome suit of her just for the experience as a costumer, but my friends would disown me as well. the people that make the super realistic and detailed suits are awesome though.

they have amazing suits.

Furry cons are a little unsettling since so many of the attendees participate for the purposes of sexual fetish. But there's nothing inherently wrong with it. They might seem kind of weird, but your average person thinks the same way about anime cons.
