Ah well, you know it's like 2 said, the fandoms full
of 'em. Just one of the many things we have to deal
with from time to time.

I'm reminded of the "Drew Carey Show" where Carey goes out with a girl who
is a closet fursuiter.
And it doesn't help that there is websites like "fursuitsex.com".
When some media outlet or news station decides they want a story about a
local Star Trek convention to be "funny," they looke for the weirdos like
the guys who are spot-welded into Klingon costumes who look "menacing" for
the cameras.
Likewise for furrys, media people look for the fursuiters or whatnot.
And a few of the fursuits I've seen looked like some old school mascot
costume someone threw out.
Recently I saw a very well done fursuit, "White Pony" had his wife dressed
up and made up as his character "Beth."

Now if someone put that sort of time, money and care into a SW girls
fursuit, it'd really be a winner also.
But would I wear something like that to the local mall? Hell no! Here in
Sheboygan I'd probably be tossed into "Unit 1-K" at Memorial Hospital. (You
guessed it, where the people who flip out are brought.)
