I found out about fursuits when I was trying to come up with a skit for trying out to be my college mascot.

Circa 2010 i was feverishly googling “tiger girl” looking for pictures of elvish girl in the forest with her pet tiger, you know, that kind of fantasy art; and i found some obscure forum where someone posted a furry drawing of a tiger girl, and someone commented ‘can someone please draw a furry that isn’t trying to be sexy’, and i’m like ‘what’s a furry’

And i've been circling around the fandom ever since. A couple things happened to make me join: more SFW spaces opened up in the fandom, i got less sex negative anyway, and i dropped out of concept art school so i had nothing to do with myself anymore.

The backing in through unknown related searches sounds kind of like how I put terms to some of my kinks.
