For a time, I did go under the label of "anthro artist" to avoid the furry label stigma like my artist idols but I realized I liked furry style art and actually found the furries I met to not be that bad.
Though some of my prejudices were indeed true about the fandom, I also discovered that it was just like any other fandom online. Q: When did you join the fandom? What is furry to you? A: September I offically became a furry. Furry is strictly a hobby for me.
Q: Can I see more of your furry work? A: Check out my Furry Network portfolio:. It came from a suggestion of a furry universal symbol the phipaw to fill a need for furries who wish to make other furries recognize them as furs subtly, kind of like christians and the cross for example.
The greek letter Phi was selected as it stands for the letter F like Furry. There are some who claim it also represents "The balance between furry fandom and nature" but I think that is a bunch of baloney personally.
It stands for Furry, simple as that. I bought my Phi glyph in Crete ;. I also have a Phipaw necklace pendent ofc. Q: How do you express your furriness irl and online? A: I am a "low-key" furry and thus my expression of my furriness is quite subtle well imo lol. I have furry symbol stickers on my stuff, wear my everyday collar or one of my furry collars i, greek phi letter, a kemono anime inspired furry art style faux foxtail on my bag daily and draw clean furry art in public or go to furry cons on occasion.
I draw more mature furry content at home sometimes. Online I draw furry art and use furspeak when interacting with other furs. I have a fursona called Siinna. I just draw A: These are all subcultures where collarwearing is very common and their meaning varies significantly depending on who you ask. Not all furries wear collars but there are other signs too. In general:. Furry style collars look like dog collars with metal or black plastic buckle and a D-ring, and are. Furries often. I wear my pawprint tag in the back on one of the strap rings rather than the D-ring :.
Furry style collars often are plain or can have flat stud decoration or a fur lining, some have animalrelated patterns even. Even if their fursona may not wear a collar or be wild, collars are worn by furries to show other furries they are furries irl.
Typical BDSM-collars tend to be thick and sturdy, very tight around the neck, black and with a typically single O-ring, more rarely a D-ring. Some do wear dogcollars but usually have a small black padlock attached to the collar buckle. The padlock is very important in BDSM-relationships between master and slave, showing ownership and dominance. Unless you see the padlock ofcourse, that is a pretty good indication!
There is also a slight subtle difference between furry style animal collars and BDSM style dog collars:. Especially punkers like long spikes because it makes them look more edgy.
Rouz Nothing New Under the Sun. Clayton said:. Rouz said:. Oh the kinky thing one can do with that. I don't wear a collar on account of my fat neck. I'll spare the masses from seeing that shit. I wore collars before I was a furry because I hate having my neck unguarded.
When I wear one I feel more secure. So a collar to me is more like a status thing, of what I am. It's not just jewelery to me, I'm pretty much forbidden to wear a collar unless it's approved of by my Master first..
Kinda irks me when I see people wearing collars for no real reason.. Xenke Member. Why wear anything? I don't care if you're nude. Xenke said:. Kitter New Member. To some people collars are symbolic, similar to a wedding ring.
Say an unfamiliar dog wanders past you on the street - how do you know it belongs to someone? You look for the collar.

It may also be a potently tangible symbol of the relationship itself. A locking collar, which may be physically long enough to be removed, is usually a statement that the collar is NOT to be removed by the wearer without permission of the giver, who often holds the key.
This is often a way for furries who are apart to maintain a physical measure of their commitment or relationship. Collars can be light and weighty only in significance, to locked, uncomfortable, sharp, and heavy in physical form. Increasingly couples may adopt collars that can be mistaken as ordinary non-furry necklaces or jewelry, which then can be worn discreetly in public.
Such items are often referred to as everyday collars. Collars are often used as accessories with fursuits, as shown in the image at the top of this page. While this can be common among furfriends, the potential for misunderstandings from the non-furry community has led to rules that you must not be led on a leash in public at furry conventions the so-called "hold your own leash" rules. This rule is illustrated in the photo of the fursuiter in this article.
