Let's mix it up a bit and add not only great content but also great conversation: how did you discover furries / the fandom? (yiffit.net)

Flagged thread NSFW just in case.

For me it was when I googled for images of digimon. There was no google "safe search" back then and I quickly got interested. I soon discovered VCL and other now defunct sites like "free paws".

Hmm... Well I assume like so many people here, I grew up enjoying furry media without realising it actually was because furry. Sonic the Hedgehog, books with animal protagonists, that sort of thing.

My first introduction to the actual furry fandom was a NSFW flash "game" called Beach Linda where basically you chatted up and sexed a fox woman. It was strangely alluring to me, and for some reason I found myself looking up other stuff, eventually finding bondofox.net (which somehow is still up, after all these years). I then found furaffinity and have been lurking there ever since.

I pretty much only lurk on the NSFW side of the fandom and don't really talk to people. I'd like to get involved in the fandom more, both SFW and NSFW, but social anxiety suuuucks.
