Suddenly remembering telling other kids I was a furry fan in 1997. xD
@kamiten I think it took me 2 years to decide I was regularly looking at furry art, and 2 more (2001) to meet somebody I could talk to about Doug Winger. 😻 😊
@Filene I think it took me three months to start telling other kids about it IRL, no filter squirrel. But I was hanging out with furries on IRC in late '96. First RL meeting other furries was '98-99 ish. Convention was 2001. :3
