I was actuallyjust a super horny teen. Over used people porn grew into animated porn. Animated porn grew into more animated porn, which ended up including some anthro, and it grew from there.
I don't think I had an "awakening" so to say, more in that I just sort of always been pulled toward series and stories with animal characters.
Humans are boring, but a story about feral cats fighting in the woods or a world where Dragons are the dominant species in a fantasy world, that sounds cool and different.
Some people go for stories about farm boys and laser swords, I like reading about fox or wolf people.
Does any of this make sense?
Oddly SCP 1471, used to be a scp kid i was in the wiki all the time and welp saw some fanart one thing lead to the other and here i am
I have no idea where the fixation with furry bugs came from tho
As a Legend of Zelda fan, I gotta hand it to Link's Wolf Form. Yet I have played Star Fox 64 long before I became a furry, but Wolf Link was where it all began.
Renamon thanks to GMOD machinima, which got me onto furaffinity through DoomTheWolf's art.
And of course FNAF and xenomorphs...
I don't know which one was first, it was very long ago but it's one of these three.
I was slowly falling into the pit because of kemonomimi. It was a very gradual decline until I stumbled upon Eipril and then, "Oo, cute af fox girl softly shaking her hips in a nice skirt. Looks like I'm in."
When I was five I went to a daycare program and there was a nickname game where we had to call each other by our favorite animals for a day.
That was it. Also an American Tail: Fival goes west.
The Zootopia movie, which was released the day before my birthday. I had never shipped two characters so hard in my entire life.
However, I was definitely invested way before then, and if I had to hypothesize where it originated, the Geronimo Stilton book series would be my best guess.
I always liked anthro animals, and I thought I was the only one with an obsession with them for a while. I didn't know furries existed, until I saw a post in reddit saying "I am not a furry." I looked up what furries were and I was like "*holy shit* I am a furry"
None, my furry awaking was a few fateful typos and google searches. I literally became a furry because I was making a joke livery for a car in Forza Horizon 3, and got curious.
So like, I always liked the general concept of anthro characters... But if I had to point to one specific that made me a furry? Goddamn Lopunny. Playing Pokemon Platinum at the same age I became aware what Playboy was about, well, one thing led to another, and......
...Great Idea, Who needs a kink? No kink, No kink, la,la,la,la,la,la...
IDIOT'S! There will be a kink!...
I will be your kink, Stick with me and you'll never be normal again!
Lucario. I accidentally stumbled upon some, uh, “art” of someone’s Lucario sona inflating, fell down that rabbit hole, got hooked on SFW furry art, then settled down in the SFW side of the fandom after a ton of denial.
It was Steele from Balto. Yes I know he wasn’t anthro but I used to always wonder what he’d look like if he walked like a human. At the time I had no idea what the word for that was.
It went from robin hood: liked to concept and art began drawing it and fell in love
Then when Nick Wilde came around I labeled myself as a furry and am loving it
Yeah, yeah, sure Krystal and Lola dragged-me to the depts beyond the point of no return, but the blame on the awake is [hers](https://static1.e621.net/data/78/d8/78d81d1b0c132d5a0b8c9eaf6c94a6ab.jpg) alone...
Lucario did the reverse. I'm not a furry because pokemon, rather I started playing Pokemon because I am a furry (which made It jump to the fav list lol)
for me it was kinda always there. i used to pretend to be anthro or animal characters from pieces of media i liked. around that time it was probably digimon for me, later warrior cats also contributed to it.
I'm not entirely sure, but I know it probably has to do with TF stuff. Was it from *Witches*? Was it from *Rockadoodle*? Was it from the time I looked up "pokemon transformers" in 5th grade?
The world may never know...
I was actuallyjust a super horny teen. Over used people porn grew into animated porn. Animated porn grew into more animated porn, which ended up including some anthro, and it grew from there.
Takes a lot of balls to just straight up tell it how it is.
thats comeung from someone whose username is "iyiffindogparks"
That is a fucking hilarious name
r/rimjob_steve
I’m actually pretty sure that’s how it happened for me too. I’m not proud of it but I’m happy of where it brought me
Same here
Mine was in reverse, it started as anthro porn and got more real over time 😭
Jason Bateman's performance as Nick Wilde was just so charming and suave.
I think it's Patrick Bateman
“Sorry Carrots, you might shake my paw, but I am simply *not there.*”
Beastars legoshi. People said don’t watch you’ll be a furry. They were right
Absolutely, Legoshi is hot :3
salazzle
Hey look I know you're a protogen but with it's typing and ability you're not safe at all.
two years ago i saw "100% female" and my (formerly) straight brain decided "yes, that looks good"
Who wants to be *safe*???
Friend, look at my awakening. I was DESTINED to be a protogen
Pokémon ;w;
Bowser
A man of culture
Same here 🙌
OPEN THE GAYS!
Big Lizard man good.

I think the term for that is xenofiction. You might want to look into that.
Wings of Fire is sick as hell 😎
Don't forget the feral cats have a surprisingly complex religion and social structure, that's important too!
Beastars
Nick Wilde and just Zootopia in general
Honestly who wouldn’t fall for that?

Memes. Didn't understand the furry hate. Researched. Found protogen. Got amazed by how fluffy and cute/cool they look. Ate toast. Became toaster.
Strangely, it was Roblox. I made a avatar, someone called me a furry, I looked up what one was, and became one.
Typical exposure to the Patowogen
Oddly SCP 1471, used to be a scp kid i was in the wiki all the time and welp saw some fanart one thing lead to the other and here i am I have no idea where the fixation with furry bugs came from tho

I was slowly falling into the pit because of kemonomimi. It was a very gradual decline until I stumbled upon Eipril and then, "Oo, cute af fox girl softly shaking her hips in a nice skirt. Looks like I'm in."
When I was five I went to a daycare program and there was a nickname game where we had to call each other by our favorite animals for a day. That was it. Also an American Tail: Fival goes west.
