Imma guess, like most things it seems, they always have been, we just see it more thanks to the internet.
This is an interesting point and makes me wonder: are there historical accounts of furries in history? I guess you could count things like werewolf stories, maybe, but that seems like a stretch…? I get the feeling I’m describing an existing field of study and hope there’s something to read about it?
Egyptians and native Americans dressed up as animals… Or maybe I’m very uneducated and this racist.
But does that count as “furry?” I guess? If so, then yeah, tons of furries throughout time. I don’t know enough about it. I guess I’m realizing I presume that furry is a sexual thing, which I think is probably incorrect? I don’t even know enough to be asking about it. I can recall plenty examples of people looking back at historical figures and being like, “yep, definitely gay,” but I can’t recall any examples of, “yep, total furry.” That’s all I’m trying to say. I presume they must be out there.
