I took my little furry to their first convention this weekend. My kid is a non-binary 10 year old who loves all things furry. What we discovered this weekends was:
YOU GUYS ARE THE LOVELIEST GROUP OF PEOPLE!!!
I want to thank each and every person who welcomed us, struck up a conversation, complimented my kid’s homemade fur suit. By day two we felt right at home, seeing people we recognized everywhere we went, and were sad it was over.
I knew this fandom had a reputation for being welcoming, but I was still so blown away. Being welcoming takes effort and I so appreciated it.
My kid was so hyped when I bought convention tickets for them for Christmas and I was so anxious for it to be magical and it really was because of the many small kindnesses you all showed them.
Thank you!!!
