Are you "out" as furry? (pawb.social)

So this is something I've been thinking about a bit recently, and I'd be interested in hearing people's thoughts on the matter.

Lets suppose you meet someone, and chat socially with them. Maybe a work colleague, maybe a friend met through a friend. You aren't that close with them, but you get the vibe that they aren't a bigot or judgemental at the very least. If the conversation turned to furry stuff, would you tell them that you like furry art?

Do you keep a different set of non-furry socials for your irl friends and family? What about having a furry profile pic on your work slack? Or your Github? Do you try hard to make sure that nobody will be able to find your secret furry double life if they know you IRL?

I guess, in essence, I'm wondering if you draw a hard line between your "sfw furry life" and your "IRL life".

Hmmm, to me this is something I don't really care if others find out. I've shown a few sketches to friends in college and even coworkers when we talk about drawing or if they just look at my notebook for a moment. I actually have this same pfp at GitHub ๐Ÿ˜‚

And I once talked about furry in college, it was a bit weird at the moment 'cause all they knew was about yiff. So.... I'm who I am IRL and in the fandom ๐Ÿค”
