in the early 00's I dated a girl who was really into anime. cosplaying and all that. one year i drove her and her and a couple of her friends to anime expo in anahiem.
my god.
the drugs and sex were everywhere. every night in the hotel it was like a mini orgy. just 10+ people per room, no one slept. I either spent my time at the 24 hour Arcade they had set up there or sleeping on the balcony cause you couldn't sleep in the beds.
Yeah people unfamiliar might be surprised, but weebs and furries party super hard. They just need some like-minded people they can trust. And about a week to recover.
To find communities in your local area, Telegram group chats are usually the place. They can be a bit hard to get into, I'm sure you'd be welcomed in but you typically need someone in the group to invite you.
For online spaces most furries are unfortunately on Bluesky right now, but I hate that place so I throw in with the furries on Mastodon, they're really cool people
If you had to pick a mascot to represent your personal brand of quirkiness general attitude and ambitious, what animal / mythical creature would it be?
I've thought about this, and I really don't know. I think I'm too self conscious to actually pick one, because I'd only be able to focus on negative aspects haha
ETA: Asked a friend of a friend who's a furry to ask me questions and help determine what I'd be.
He says otter or beaver lol
Does the fursona need to represent you physically? Because if so, I feel like I'd be misrepresenting myself a bit, both those animals are small, and I'm a very large person (6'3/191cm, broad shouldered, and 270lbs/122kg), and they're both quite furry, whereas I have basically no hair at all on my head or body lol
Can confirm. I used to party with the anime club from a college not far from home and that's where I learned that mdma is a lot of fun, it's also how I learned that I'm an alcoholic.

Why does no one ever offer me cocaine? :(
Maybe this is the sign to go to more anime conventions?
We should have a convention where everyone does drugs
I think there's currently one at my local train main station
Isn't that a rave
furry convetions and nixcon
Sounds like he's making solid life choices
Coke is best treated situationally, just like this.
I doubt Ichigo would encourage this. Lettuce wouldn't encourage it, either. Now, Pudding, well, I don't know about that girl.
That's an entirely reasonable situation to end up doing coke it.
I'm not big into drugs, but honestly, if cat girls offered me drugs, I would probably take them.

Those anime kids love to fuck and get high.
So this might be the origin of the rumored "VTuber orgies"...
(Some VTubers started out as cosplayers, then changed medium once the pandemic hit)
How are anime people this insane, and this...rich?
They pitch in/save up/hang out with one or two rich kids. It's 10 people to a room with nowhere to sleep, they can't be that rich
I have been doing Anime Expo wrong, apparently!
Obviously so was he, he was in the arcade instead of the orgy
Homie needed his sleep
He was there with his girlfriend, yet he was in the arcade instead of the orgy!
wasn't my thing, plus she was cheating on me anyways with just about everyone. we broke up a couple months later. I was young and dumb.

So, like, what do I do to get started into the new community I've just recently discovered I have a deep passion for?

More spirit animal than physical, also amazon river otters exist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_otter
Just FYI otters tend to have a slutty reputation in the community.... same with foxes...
I'm leaning more and more towards otter lmao
I got a glimpse into that world while playing VR Chat in that Furry convention hotel . It was a lot of fun

Who let the anime convention promoter in here? Guy isn't even trying to play it cool.
I know literally nothing about being a doer of coke or of the "Tokyo Mew Mew Team", but I like to believe I'd make similar choices.
I’m with you, Dr Fetus!
Solid choice under the circumstances
I mean who among us?
get out of my head
