I know very little about furries, and would like to learn. I know there's crossover with feedism. If I were to guess what draws you to it, maybe the ability to choose your form? Anonymity? Playing a role outside of your norm?
If anyone would like to share, I'd like to know more. š

For me a lot of it is expressing things about myself I can't/struggle to express irl.
When I was bordering on underweight and struggling with gender feelings, making a hyper feminine fat pig fursona was weirdly therapeutic for me. Seeing art of her happily indulging still gives me comfy feelings inside.
Oh! Okay, that helps me understand. Thank you!
If I try to equate that in my life, it sounds similar to when I was underweight and would pad large clothes to extreme sizes. A physical and temporary outside manifestation of the feelings inside that can't be expressed through conventional means. Like an extension of your inner self?
