Do you remember when and what helped you discover your affinity for furries? If you do, I'd like to hear your stories!

To get the ball rolling I'll start with mine. While I certainly can't pinpoint the exact date I became fixated on anthros, I can absolutely remember getting Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast when I was 7 or 8 (2000ish).

Seeing Tails was all I needed to get hooked, and want to be a cool fox like him. I didn't even have a word for it until I started using the internet years later, but my furry fate was sealed from then onward. It was the catalyst that got me into fantasizing about having fur and a big tail, and got me doodling lots of Sonic art as a kid. While I've long since stopped making Sonic art, Tails still holds a special place in my heart over 20 years later.

Sometime in 2013 or 2014 my brother called my art furry art as an insult and something to avoid, I didn't really know what a furry was. This was the biggest mistake of his life.
