X-Intercept II
1. You say that being a furry is about identifying with the animal you think represents you best, but why is it that you take it one step further and make a lifestyle out of it? I could say that a cat is my spirit animal but I'm not going to go out and make a suit out of it or put a name to my cat persona so what is it exactly that instigates you to become a furry?
If you're christian, why do you join a church? You can have a relationship to God without the church. What is it exactly that instigates you to become a churchgoer?

2. How does being a furry benefit you? Besides being part of a sub-culture that shares the same traits as you, how does being a furry bring you greater life benefits?
Um, that is the benefit. Being part of a subculture. Same reason why teens follow fads and followers follow religion.

3. When you are on your deathbed and perhaps you've had some kids or you have grandkids, will you think back to this part of your life? Would you let being a furry define you so much you tell your family about it? "I used to be a furry" or "I was part of this Internet sub-culture called furdom."
I doubt it, but honestly I'm not really too involved in the furry community, so I suppose my opinion here doesn't count.
