‘Being a cute is like wearing a superhero cape’

Fenic firefox, a man dressed as a big cute orange fox and dressed as a tail by a flame, says that he is a very shy person in his normal life.

But when he adopts his “fursona”, he is dancing on the road and sharing a long neck with his best friend Rock, prepared as a huge red and black German shepherd Has gone.

“It is like a superhero cape,” says Fenic.

“When I put my fox’s head, the person went away – he is not present.”

Fenick says that being in a dress allows him to avoid his everyday struggles and “be happy”.

This is the one who brought him to the biggest lovely conference of Scotland – Scotian.

Outside the Glasgow Hotel where the event is held, hundreds of people are dressed in costumes with a rabbit to a magic wand in a military uniform with a magic wand, dressed in costumes, gathered on the coast of the clide.

Passengers dodged a packet of huge multi-colored dogs as they pose with each other in a group selfie.

A few meters away in a group is being played by a person in a large cartoon fox’s head with a bull with a pink ear and a husky hat dance in a wizard’s hat dance.

Scotian co-director, Jeremy Smith, says the event is an opportunity to “forget the real world for the weekend”.

45 -year -old says: “You can go and it can be a large color animal that has no concern in the world and simply disconnects.

“I think a lot of people come for it.”

Scotiakan first launched inwriting in 2011, but is expected to attend 1,700 in this year’s four -day conference.

“This is an opportunity to be silly for a weekend, where no one is judging you,” says Mr. Smith.

It has incidents like Cash-Free Casino Night, An Art Auction, Fanfiction Writing Panel, A Reve and Wine and Paneer Reception.

However, the conference and lovely fandum are more widely a matter of regular dispute.

It is often associated with sexual fetalism and Fandum members have been accused of having sexual “cedar” or misfit.

The convention hosts events such as “Ferry Erotica”, but Mr. Smith insisted that furry in the media is “badly represented” and that paganism is “not part of the cute identity”.

“We are one of the most incorrectly presented communities, and almost always in a negative way – this is largely because people are afraid what they don’t know,” they say.

“We are telling people that ‘see this debutory’, but we are not a fetish event, it’s not what is about the conference.”

Finic the Firefox says it is just a hobby.

“This is no different for an anime conference or Comican Conference,” they say.

Anthropomorphic organisms emerged as a subculture for the first time in the 1980s after anthropomorphic organisms appeared as characters in the form of characters.

The fans of the characters soon started dressing as animals, including cats and dogs to more fictional creatures such as dragons and unicorn, and call themselves Furry.

Cute community, or “Fandam”, gained popularity with the development of the Internet and it is estimated that there are now hundreds of thousand furry worldwide.

Furis says they do not identify as animals, and many people compare activity to cosplaying (practice of dressing as a character from film, book or video-game).

Costumes, or “fur suits”, can often spend thousands of pounds and are handmade.

Inside the convention hall, an octopus and a parrot carelessly drinks a glass of alcohol.

Rock the German Shepherd says that he can be a doctor, teacher, engineer or lawyer in everyday life.

He has all met them in the conference.

“You probably know a cute and don’t realize it because we are everywhere,” Rock says, like Fenic, not eager to reveal your human identity, is known by his “furca” .

He says; “We feel free under the fur suit because you don’t see what we look.

Mr. Smith also says that “very diverse” audiences participated in this program, which is largely made up of professional people.

“I know a professor who runs a science department at the University of London, a nuclear space technician, a businessman who runs a series of upmarket bakers,” he says.

“This is a very diverse, very accepting community”.

Mr. Smith himself is an engineer responsible for creating military equipment for the UK government.

He also says that Scottian is autism and popular with people with physical and learning disability, who sees the conference as a “safe place”.

He says that wearing fur suits can allow people who struggle in social settings and have more confidence.

He says, “Some members of Fandum cannot even talk to people, but you put them in a fur suit and you can put them on stage tomorrow.”

“All obstructions are gone, they put on the dress and become a big, bright character. I think this is a big appeal.”
