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".

I have Bad Dragon stickers in my clear-backed phone case and a custom plate that has UWU on it hahaha

Bad Dragon stickers are interesting, in that to people that know, know, and people that don't know (most) its just another random brand sticker.

I am not a furry, but now I found one of your secrets.

Although if I'll see it, I'll rather not mention that I know it. :-)

Now I also wonder how many people recognize the Linux and Vim stickers on my water bottle 🤔

You commenting in the furry chat might lead to some doubt of that first statement.
I imagine the overlap of people that recognize all 3 is high.

Valid point! A lady asked about my Bad Dragon hoodie before which took me off guard! Why would she ask about that, if she didn’t already know? I’ve never had someone ask about any of my other hoodies… she had to have known, but she was like 50+ and a mom-type lady!
