The Forbidding Unlawful Representation of Roleplaying in Education, or FURRIES, Act, filed by Austin-area Republican State Rep. Stan Gerdes, would “prohibit any non-human behavior by a student, including presenting himself or herself, on days other than exempt days, as anything other than a human being.”
The law would allow for exempt days, such as Halloween and other school dress-up days.
The law defines “non-human” behavior as “any type of behavior or accessory displayed by a student in a school district other than behaviors or accessories typically displayed by a member of the homo sapiens species,” with provided examples being:
Using a litter box for the passing of stool, urine or other human byproducts
A personal or outward display, except during a school play or by a school mascot, through surgical or superficial means of features that are non-human such as using tails, leashes, collars or other accessories designed for pets
Using fur, other than naturally occurring human hair or a wig made to look like human hair
Artificial, animal-like ears
Other physiological features that have not historically been assigned to the human race through a means of natural biological development
Students who bark, meow, hiss or make other animal noises that are not human speech
Licking oneself or others for the purpose of grooming or maintenance.
jfc, no I am not a furry.
I don’t even have programmer socks.
I’ve cosplayed a few times at conventions… Dr McNinja, Dr Who, Alan Wake, … think I was L from Death Note once…
…I once made my own Drive jacket for a halloween party.
Taught myself how to sew, found a pattern, made the jacket within the roughly 2 months between when the movie came out and the next halloween. I could only find one place on the entire internet selling the jacket, but they were basically either high quality repros or actual left over warddrobe from the movie, going for over a thousand bucks, wouldn’t ship until after halloween.
I had to just use a felt cut out of the scorpion on the back, as … yeah, didn’t have enough time or skill to embroider it. It wasn’t reversible like the one in the movie was, but I did get the brown as the inside color/material, just with all the stitching exposed willy nilly.
I’ve known a few furries, across the internet, but no I’ve never had a fursona or fursuit or any of that, never used a furry ingame avatar, nope.
… I guess maybe I had an alt FFXIV character that was one of the … Miqote? I got bored and stopped playing after about 6 months, I don’t think I got that character beyond level 10.
i’m just giving you a hard time, don’t sweat it.
i thought this was for the femboy certification, relevant to furries, but only in relation.
pretty sick story though, cosplaying is neat, wouldn’t ever get into it myself, too computer pilled personally.
aw, you’re missing out, it’s fun! (i jest)
anyway, judging from this comment you’re like, once, maybe twice removed from the furry community. It may or may not crop up in your future, long term or short, anyway enough palm reading or whatever the fuck this is.
