So, would you?

  • Hell yeah, there’s no downsides!
  • I would if it’s what it takes to be my preferred gender.
  • Maybe, I’m kinda torn…
  • No! I don’t want to be my fursona for real…

Some clarification:

  • You would be the only one turned into an anthro, everyone else is still human.
  • If you have multiple fursona, you’d have to choose one.
  • The gender of the fursona you chose to turn to would match your preferred gender.
  • You wouldn’t receive the superpowers of your fursona if they had one. You wouldn’t become extremely large, have superpowers (especially not omnipotence or shapeshifting), or anything else other than an ordinary anthro.

My response:

Personally, I’m kinda torn. Becoming both my fursona and my gender at the same time would be a dream come true. Being my fursona isn’t just a downside, it’s what I wanted.

But, in this scenario, I’d be the only anthro raccoon-- or anthro at all-- in the sea of humans. Thinking about it, if humans already discriminate against others just because of sexuality and gender (think of queerphobia and transphobia), imagine how they’d react to a completely different species, one that looks like an animal.

It’d be cool to be my girl fursona, but very hard with how humans behave to anything different from them (also, funnily enough, I imagine myself as my fursona commenting on humans when I wrote that sentence).

    Maybe you could be the next anubis, revered by everyone around you. Or the equivalent of a yeti next door with how distinct your fursona is to everyone else.

    Either way, only one word to describe fursona you: unique.

      I’m honored to be thought of so highly~<3

      My vibe is definitely a lot more cryptid than deific, but I could absolutely see myself doing the furcon circuit with my mates when I’m not at home in goblin-mode. Those conventions would all gladly comp the room and registration just to have me around giving out hugs, posing for live drawing, answering questions at panels, and the persistent rumors of an invite-only room party~
