This isn't the most glamorous or exciting thing, but I want to go to a furry convention sometime.
... I'm really typecasting myself here on Lemmy, aren't I?
What's a furry convention?
Basically, "furries" are animal people like in Disney's Robin Hood and Zootopia, and the fans of those creatures. There's some sfw art at !furry@yiffit.net if you want to see. Humans in media are boring. :P
Personally, I've seen it to be a very open, accepting and welcoming community. So I guess I romanticise being with a group of like minded people, which is something I've felt lacking in my life.
... Annoyingly, due to its history as an lgbt-friendly splinter group, it's who a lot of the bigots started targeting when it became socially unacceptable to be honophobic online. Grumble grumble.
Just don't trash the place like that one furry convention.
