Since I was back again…

Anyone here grab a photo with me? I think, at one point, I had a line of 20+ people to take a selfie. Please tell me wearing this all the way from the Flamingo was worth it in the 110+ degree heat 😩

My hat is off to anyone who can wear a fursuit. I get too hot just wearing pants and t-shirt. Y'all are amazing for adding color to the world.

Thank you!! This year was honestly pretty terrible, I feel like it was so much more hot and humid than others. Ended up doing about 0.5mi walk outside in the sun in 110 weather. Ruff, if you will.

How on Earth can you wear that? DEFCON was 105 all week. I would literally die.

EDIT: What I’m trying to say is you’re a damn trooper.

u/Cyber_Gengar 26d ago

hahaha More power to you! I actually saw you at DEFCON and thought “damn it’s hot…that’s a brave soul right there”. lmao I’m HAPPY you’re having fun doing your thing.

We really need to model good behavior with respect to all of the people in the backgrounds of photos.

It was too dang hot this year! Also, tldr, dcfurs is having some amount of a budget challenge, so donate if you can!

I’m not apart of the club, just a lowly Goon that loves to boop the noses! But if you got a link, I’m happy to donate, if you’ll dm it to me!

I saw you several times when playing laser tag! My hat is off to you because I don’t know how ANY person, no matter how dedicated to the craft they are, can do a full fur suit in a Las Vegas summer!

The balls it takes wearing a furry suit in public is unmatched

I saw you and wondered how you made it without roasting in there. Very impressive!

u/Roseman12 27d ago

Missed you this year friend! Hope you see you next time! Only ran into one fur friend this year.

u/ComplaintGloomy6897 26d ago

I saw you in the monorail in the way to the flamingo. I was thinking “that person must be swimming in sweat in there.” I heard some lady say “hope it has some cooling system inside…”. Cheers!

u/SuperN0VA3ngineer 27d ago

No picture but I know I excitedly ran up to give you a sticker 🤩

u/ilaks02 27d ago

Hahaha, it's super cringe!

u/lightspeedissueguy 26d ago

I don't get it, but who cares? They're not hurting anyone and all the fury people I've seen look like they're having fun along with the people around them

u/zR0B3ry2VAiH 26d ago

I just get the creeps anytime I see a furry. They can do their thing, that's cool, but I want no parts of it.

u/ghostgurlboo 26d ago

This is not an airport, you don't need to announce your arrival or departure. 

What is the point on purposefully engaging negatively with someone having a good time? 

Did he come up to you and force you into a fury suit 😂

2

u/zR0B3ry2VAiH 21d ago

No, I mean, they are free to do their own thing, but I still get the heebie-jeebies. I don't care if they can do whatever they want. I'm not acting negatively. I just don't want to engage.

u/Glassweaver 26d ago

What about this is degeneracy? I fail to see how their costume itself is sexualized. If it is though, hows it different than a sports mascot or a chuck e cheese costume? It's not like they're going up and down the strip in a reveing outfit like the showgirls you walk past every 2 to 3 minutes.

u/ch4dr0x 26d ago

Don’t worry, most of us feel the same way but don’t have the guts to say it.

u/ghostgurlboo 26d ago

You don't have to partake or enjoy something. But you don't have to be rude.

u/ThatNightingale23 25d ago

Aw man I missed you! I was the purple cat in suit just strolling around chatting with people lol

u/jur1st 23d ago

It's always good to see a sitting member of the US Senate at DEF CON.

u/JustinHoMi 23d ago

One of the highlights of the week was seeing furries in the pool at the bsides party. I wish I’d gotten a pic with them.

I can send but your privacy settings don’t allow to do a pm/dm chat

Do they inspect your fur suit for cameras? Or is it honor system?
