Watching this made me smile like an idiot. It's so sweet to see so many people being so happy and nice to each other. But it also makes me sad that people so sweet and kind get so much hate just because they wear an animal costume.
this is so, so cute. It makes me sad that furries get that much hate. It just seems they're having so much fun, all of then qith their unique costumes, being nice to each other and hugging everyone. I believe people need to meet the furry community deeply. It's beautiful
I love it how the ferries in the furry community all care for each other. They hug each other and play around. I love their furry fights when it turns out as a hug in the end. I've always wished to go to this con but my family thinks their dumb and weird. They should understand the love everyone has. Including the furries. People try protecting their kids from those cons but look on the smiles on everyone's faces. I can't believe these haters. I love all you furries, and furry lovers!~ ♥
Sadly to say, that's so much easier, for many people, to hate things which they don't understand. To look closely to them and afterwards to change their minds is hard work. Many people don't want to learn about new things. They will never see how much joy furries bring in our lifes. If they would watch closely, they would see and feel all the happiness and the big smiles. And not to forget all the good charity things they do.
Yes, this is who I want to be. The furry playing with the little boy absolutely killed me. This fandom and this community brings me absolute joy. I want to be a part of it.
+Jess Herman Essentially your statement " I want to be part of it." makes u part of it. most of the fandom simply enjoys the art performance and over all aspect of the idea of these type of characters. so welcome to the fandom.
Man seeing these kind of moments really makes me think where we gotten. The community got so toxic these days and is tearing eachother apart. Quite sad honestly :/
Inquisitor Christopher Of course there is, but for the most part it’s pretty easy. Examples, If you are a minor don’t go to adult cons. Don’t online date or anything like that, and be careful of pedos and zoophiles. But that really should be it for the most part!
John Brown Interesting. "Coopertom" would have had to design the (headpiece? Mask?) himself, and it wouldn't have been easy to get the distinctive look just right. I've never seen a furry that could be called a "portrait" of an actual critter rather than a 'toon.
tiger paw claw It depends which hotel you stay at, if you are at the Westin (main hotel), their con rate is about $180 a night so for a whole week it will be over $1,000, if you stay just the 4 days of the convention (Thursday-Sunday) it's about $720. Other hotels will be slightly cheaper ($130-$150 a night) but you will have to walk a ways.
wow kijani i like your vids, its nice of you to show the true reasons behind these cons and the nicer side of this fandom. i enjoy sharing these to show furry haters or those who are unsure or dont understand. puts true perspective on everything. i look forward to your next one :)
Machinitekgaming You know what? I always loved furries as my favorite, and I always wanted to be like them, too. So, I agree with what YOU know! Furries should always be good and caring and fun. Why on earth would your dad hate them?? I gotta know, or he has no spirit, I guess. Good thing YOU love furries, though!
When they were playing with the kiddos, it absolutely melted my heart. This is why I love furries, and I love being one. I really wanna attend a con, but my sis doesn’t like furries and my parents might think it’s weird. I do have a fursona planned out and everything! Anyways, stay safe everyone^^
I want to tell my parents about my interest in furies so I can attend cons, but they don't really seem like furry people. I know that they just want to protect me, but I am drawing a blank here. Any ideas?
Sure, allow me to spill some ideas! So, first off, I can understand if your parents arent used to furries. While you are fully developed in this community and know all of the pros and cons (Hah, get it? Cons!) your parents, however, are complete strangers to it and unfortunately, the bad side of the fandom tends to come to light first. But, Im sure if you take your time with them and slowly introduce them to the fandom, theyll learn to accept it. Yknow, teach them about the communitys attitude. People of all races, religions, shapes and sizes, they are all contributing to a wonderfully accepting community. Most importantly, your parents will need to understand every single fandom has a bad side. You need to adress that bad side with them first, and make it clear that the fandom is not like that, and neither are you. You are in a family friendly fandom. "Yiffers" as they are referred to are commonly shunned. Most likely, if you approach them correctly, theyll understand. Also, even if they disaprove of furries, *they will love.you.regardless.*
*IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ!!!!!* Although there is no one definition of what a furry is or does, the most common definition is this. *Furries are artists who take a HEALTHY APPROPRIATE interest in anthropomorphic animals and objects in general. Furries usually create what they call FURSONAS AS ARTISTIC EXPRESSIONS OF THEIR PERSONALITY AND WHAT THEY PERCIEVE FROM THEMSELVES*.
Well its a hobby, not an identity. You dont need to "come out" as a furry. Being furry isnt the same as being lgbt, if they ask just say its a hobby. If you make them sit down about it they're going to think its something extreme
Gee KIjani!Your videos are always so wonderful!They really touch my heart!YOu show the furry world is such a wonderful world!Keep those awsome videos comming!
Why is there so much hate towards these guys? That's like saying you hate creativity, a sense of family, and your childhood. Just look at all of those cuddly hugs.
I love how when people are fursuiting that they act so free and like someone completely different, not caring about judgement and just doing what they want to. I also love how little kids love all of the fursuiters. I love nothing more than seeing little kids happy. :)
The Kid at 7:20 probably thinks he's playing with a giant stuffed animal that came to life. I like how he saw him (I'm assuming that's a him) and didn't get scared.
I am not a furry but I find their community very interesting I have never brought up furries anywhere near my family so I don’t know what their thoughts on it My friend however has spoken about it a couple times and she’s chill with it. She doesn’t get involved but she doesn’t hate it. I respect those people
It breaks my heart that people get so much hate for fursuiting. It's OK to enjoy yourself! I was afraid to start my fursuiting, ( I only have a cat head ) cause I heard of all the hate furries get. Now I see how much fun people have and I'm excited to start fursuiting!
***** I told them I was a furry. They don't think it's harmful but they think I'm weird. They say the same thing about me being a pegasister and an otaku, so I'm used to it. My sympathies to you, and good luck with the whole furry thing with your parents.
***** No problem. There's a bunch of resources to help you explain it to them, though I'd imagine the hard part would be getting them to listen. Even if they don't come around, your decisions are just that: yours.
It’s makes me smile every time when I see every furry video and furries, Their so nice and I don’t even know why people hate on them, I mean they just chill out and hang out and have fun unlike what people say they do.. this is so cool and I wish someday I can be in a anthrocon. I know you don’t need to go there to be a furry, I just want to be apart of the fun- cri
I would love to go to a convention for furrows but there isn't any in Cincinnati Ohio which sucks like bad. And I wish I had the kind of money to get a fursuit made but I don't which also really sucks because I've always wanted to do something like that. 😞. I guess I have no choice but to watch all the fun on the good ol' RUclips.
There's ohiocon I believe, and cincy comicon, but yea.. No fur con's here ;-; when I finish my suit I'm probably gonna just take it to a nearby con in Illinois or something.
When I heard about Furry's and conventions, I was curious and did more research.. when I figured out what it was about, and what it's like I thought it was really cool and interesting! Now I'm planning on finding my Fursona and possibly going to conventions in the future! I'm a very shy, 11 year old girl but this seemed like it fits my art intrest, and a way for me to open up to the world.
+Derpina Herpencia Yeah! see when I'm in my normal self. I wouldn't even hug a family relative. but when I put on a mask, I could hug just about anyone!!!!😁😁😁😁😁I'm gonna work hard to get a fursuit!
![Felix "Unfair" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Oswujxm2Ag0/mqdefault.jpg)
this entire con is just one big fuzzy hug
knight of fucking time ikr
Yee
Omg so trueee
Watching this made me smile like an idiot. It's so sweet to see so many people being so happy and nice to each other. But it also makes me sad that people so sweet and kind get so much hate just because they wear an animal costume.
From being a furry, I totally agree. Not all wear suits and they still get hate. It is so sad but its amazing that people don't care!
Sandwich Hour me to 😂😂
I might be a little biased because I’m a furry but I think it’s just s hobby, or life style like gardening it’s sad ppl hate these guys
I agree ;-;
It’s so sad to see all the hate over someone wearing a fursuit. Look at the happiness and genuine love in this video ;-;
this is so, so cute. It makes me sad that furries get that much hate. It just seems they're having so much fun, all of then qith their unique costumes, being nice to each other and hugging everyone. I believe people need to meet the furry community deeply. It's beautiful
+Miles Iero hi fellow MCR trash lol we are EVERYWHERE
btw i agree 10000%
Sunny the furry fandom is a place where we get to be ourselves and to be unique we aren't meant to be "normal"
Celty same.
Celty furries are like carebears... Who doesn't like carebears?
it made my heart melt an my mouth smile when I saw the little kid playing with a furry
Baxter the wolf yeah
me too!!
like he's saying, "oh my gosh, my stuffed toys came to life"
Mhm!!

My ex boyfriend is a furry (not really ex, we drifted apart and eventually he maybe forgot about it and started dating another guy IDK)
this is why you furrys are important to me I love that you put smiles on kids face's thank you
+Science Warrior Why can't you be?
Science Warrior Forget if they think your weird, be your self, if they think your weird forget about them. Be who you want to be. :)
Science Warrior No Problem ^.^
Science Warrior Good luck on your fursona >.
@@mangosmootheee he deleted his comments lmao what a coward
Yes, this is who I want to be. The furry playing with the little boy absolutely killed me. This fandom and this community brings me absolute joy. I want to be a part of it.
Then you can!

I don't have a suit and I am a furry still you don't need a suit to be a furry just be one
Man seeing these kind of moments really makes me think where we gotten. The community got so toxic these days and is tearing eachother apart. Quite sad honestly :/
This is why i love the Furry Fandom everybody is so nice to everyone.
MG LP Not everyone
mito Protogen , that is progress.
MG LP For the most part at least
There's definitely some bad eggs.... just have to be careful.

wait.. MAJIRA AND TELEPHONE!?
Rui Moreira 1:37 lol
somewhere
1:39
Majira was clearly super happy :3
I don’t think that was actually majira
renegade and that little boy... SOO CUTE! heart melted
Wouldn't it be amazing if someone made a grumpycat fursuit?
It already exists, but we refer to him as Coopertom. ;)
Ooh!
John Brown Interesting. "Coopertom" would have had to design the (headpiece? Mask?) himself, and it wouldn't have been easy to get the distinctive look just right. I've never seen a furry that could be called a "portrait" of an actual critter rather than a 'toon.
John Brown Nope. There's an ACTUAL GrumpyCat suit out there.
Pancake I was making a joke. :P
and some people think this is "gross"...
Shame on them :U
Marxpup Fennec ya
Uh-huh
Marxpup Fennec e.e
Why are you looking at me like that? ^^;
The cute lite baby boy tells you not all firries are bad
Furries....cheaper than Disney World.
And less prone to homicides or illicit drug deals. ^^
And absolutely NO measles.
furry came from didney
Dresmor Alakazard
Perhaps, but _we_ perfected it. ^^
JamesPolymer what you want to prove?
THE PART WITH THE LITTLE KIDS AHH MY HEART.
That little kid was so adorable, Who ever the suiter was, was so cute, good that they let him have the fun
I think his name is Renegade; don't know him personally, though.
Are you referring to the bald dude. I call him a mini me or a Stewie Griffin. Is he a he !? can,t tell. Yeah hes cool
the part with the toddler was utterly beautiful :') showing the word what fursuiting is really about x
Heartwarming to see people bringing youngsters here, it must be so fun to be surrounded by people in all these amazing fursuits!
when I have a fursuit I'm going to go to a con and roll (my suit will have heelies) around going "NYOOOOOOM!"
It would be good for maybe hmmm
Ghost??? Magician?
Not recommended to wear those in crowds of people covered in heavy foam fluff and fur
Unless you make it yourself im.not sure how you would achieve heelies on a suit
Renegade with that little kid is probably the cutest thing I have ever seen. I almost shed happy tears goddammit. Great video!
Sad to miss it :'( hopefully make it next year :)
if you don't mind me asking how much is it to stay there the whole week?
tiger paw claw It depends which hotel you stay at, if you are at the Westin (main hotel), their con rate is about $180 a night so for a whole week it will be over $1,000, if you stay just the 4 days of the convention (Thursday-Sunday) it's about $720. Other hotels will be slightly cheaper ($130-$150 a night) but you will have to walk a ways.
How to suck some of you guys afford to go every year its so expensive
But when you go to the con it's only $50 for the whole 4 nights
I need just got to find somewhere to stay at?
If I was their I would probably cry because that's my real family. So many recognized faces. Keep up the good videos!
wow kijani i like your vids, its nice of you to show the true reasons behind these cons and the nicer side of this fandom. i enjoy sharing these to show furry haters or those who are unsure or dont understand. puts true perspective on everything. i look forward to your next one :)
my dad doesnt care wat i show him he hates all furries and i love all furrys there soo nice plus its fun to go around with fur suits on XD
Machinitekgaming You know what? I always loved furries as my favorite, and I always wanted to be like them, too. So, I agree with what YOU know! Furries should always be good and caring and fun. Why on earth would your dad hate them?? I gotta know, or he has no spirit, I guess. Good thing YOU love furries, though!
Aww I love this. The whole community is so sweet. I love it.
Great job on this video as always Kijani. Thank you and all who made my first experience at Anthrocon a blast. Hope to see you next year.
When they were playing with the kiddos, it absolutely melted my heart. This is why I love furries, and I love being one. I really wanna attend a con, but my sis doesn’t like furries and my parents might think it’s weird. I do have a fursona planned out and everything! Anyways, stay safe everyone^^
The 'for the kids one' is just adorable. w

Angus Wellejus :( im actually heart broken
MangoCat its gone forever ;;
Awww.. :( I wish I could help you in some way, but I don't know how...
so glad this was recommended to me again
Aw. Some. I really like the music and overall this makes me extremely happy. Thanks Kijani, your videos inspire me greatly! Thanks you!
Can't wait till I get to suit up and go there!
I feel like if i were to go to con I would make everything awkward XD
Skyla The Feline same I felt awkward at indyfurcon this year my first con lol
Skyla The Feline same XD
Same xD
Same, but they look so cute playing and being nice eachother ❤
(I'm sorry for my bad english)

Old majira looked so happy meeting telephone :3 that bit made me smile 😊
Why is there so much hate towards these guys? That's like saying you hate creativity, a sense of family, and your childhood. Just look at all of those cuddly hugs.
That little baby and the furry was just too adorable! I am so glad these people can who they are. Just wish there wasn't so much hate. I love furries!
I saw majjira!
the fangirl of almost everything. his old majira fursuit
I think we all did!
1:41 Majira and Telephone!!!
+RandomPony9 IKR!
+RandomPony9 GAAAH I WAS GONNA SAY THAAAAT >:( but good observation..
EEEEEEEEEEEEE
I noticed telephone but some how I dint see majira before.Thanks for pointing it out.
ikr I was just like TELEPHONE! AND MAJIRA!
I love how when people are fursuiting that they act so free and like someone completely different, not caring about judgement and just doing what they want to. I also love how little kids love all of the fursuiters. I love nothing more than seeing little kids happy. :)
When i see them playing with the babies its so adorable!!
The Kid at 7:20 probably thinks he's playing with a giant stuffed animal that came to life. I like how he saw him (I'm assuming that's a him) and didn't get scared.
Such a great video and all the feels came back! Cant wait for AC2015!
I love how these furries are soooo good with children its sooo cute and warms my tiny tiny heart
4:58 and that's why my heart was contaminated with cuteness
4:23 is the cutest part of it all! I started laughing and smiling like a mad man. It was just so cute!
Aweeee, that part with the little baby is the cutest. Everyone is soo adorable!
at 4:29, PRECIOUS!
Always gives some of the best views to the Anthrocons!
I'm just sitting at home while this is going on 😂 I literally live a hour away from Anthrocon also.
Lucky.
I literally live thousands of kilometres from the con :')
Lucky. I'm almost 24 hours away. Howdy From Texas
The wolf with the little baby. Cutest thing I've ever seen!!
4:30 my heart just melt ... was too cute for words
I don't want a fursuit... I NEED one!!!!
aww that little kid playing with that fursuit at 4:21 looked so cute! it's like he's saying "oh my gosh, my stuffed toys came to life!!" 🤗😀
That looks so much fun ;-;
And this is why I love this fandom
Meeting Telephone was the best experience of my life when I was at AnthroCon.
I am not a furry but I find their community very interesting
I have never brought up furries anywhere near my family so I don’t know what their thoughts on it
My friend however has spoken about it a couple times and she’s chill with it. She doesn’t get involved but she doesn’t hate it.
I respect those people
looked like great times, Im sorry I missed it. Next year for sure! Hope to have my suit done by then.
Anyone know who the 'Geisha' is at 2:20? Absolutely gorgeous suit and theme!!
The cuteness between 4:22 and 5:00 nearly killed me. Surely death by cute is a thing right?
4:29 is just sooooooo heartwarming.
LOVE the song...goes so well with the feels... oh gosh them feels.
The little baby o.o cutest moment in all of furdom
I love the fursuiter that was letting the kiddo hug him and walk on him like a giant stuffed animal
You be awesome as always! Anthrocon 14 is quite the journey for me! x3
I want to anthrocon when I FINALLY MAKE MY SUIT! I mean like, little kids, hugs, fun, music, more fun, more adorable kids, more adorable furries!
People here say furries are mean jerk people
but in reality they are like really really nice people
It breaks my heart that people get so much hate for fursuiting.
It's OK to enjoy yourself!
I was afraid to start my fursuiting, ( I only have a cat head ) cause I heard of all the hate furries get. Now I see how much fun people have and I'm excited to start fursuiting!
If my parents weren't the way they were I'd try making my own fursuit and dress up in it. It looks so much fun!
***** I told them I was a furry. They don't think it's harmful but they think I'm weird. They say the same thing about me being a pegasister and an otaku, so I'm used to it. My sympathies to you, and good luck with the whole furry thing with your parents.
***** No problem. There's a bunch of resources to help you explain it to them, though I'd imagine the hard part would be getting them to listen. Even if they don't come around, your decisions are just that: yours.
I miss the huge furry meet up that use to happen at my job they were the most awesome customers we had it makes me worried they haven't come back ...
Does anyone know who that is at 4:06? I've seen him in a few videos and that suit just cracks me up, I love it.
facecreep Really? You couldn't look up "Donkey fursuit"? His name is Jackpot. Made by Lobita.
Pancake Thank you. I promise to not eat you.
Such a great video!
Telephone is an Angel Dragon right? (sorry if I got the species wrong) is an Angel Dragon and open species???
Yes it is but there is a website that has rules on what and what not to do. Just Google Dutch angel dragon
I want to go to Anthrocon, but I don't have a fursuit and the tickets are expensive...
Is AC in the same place yearly? If not, where is it going to be held for 2015?
It’s makes me smile every time when I see every furry video and furries, Their so nice and I don’t even know why people hate on them, I mean they just chill out and hang out and have fun unlike what people say they do.. this is so cool and I wish someday I can be in a anthrocon. I know you don’t need to go there to be a furry, I just want to be apart of the fun- cri
5:42 I regognize that orange wolf thing.
I think it was a picture made by Kawiku on deviantart !
Everyone Anthrocon is only held in Pittsburgh.
This makes me so exited for Anthrocon 2016. cx
I spot a Fibre Kitty, kawaii. Everyone's suits were awesome, and unique in their own ways.
This is so cute and fun, I must go, when and where is the one in 2015??
4:30 is the best thing I have ever seen in my life.
when they played around with those kids it warmed my heart (个_个)
I don't get why furries receive so much hate, they seem like really kind people!
+Sarah R People just hate what they don't understand.
I would love to go to a convention for furrows but there isn't any in Cincinnati Ohio which sucks like bad. And I wish I had the kind of money to get a fursuit made but I don't which also really sucks because I've always wanted to do something like that. 😞. I guess I have no choice but to watch all the fun on the good ol' RUclips.
O ok. Then I'll and do that thank you for the advice.
😊
There's ohiocon I believe, and cincy comicon, but yea.. No fur con's here ;-; when I finish my suit I'm probably gonna just take it to a nearby con in Illinois or something.
Really?
The next convention is i think strats at july 9 idk if it is anthorcon and i dont remember where
I used to hate furries. But now a just started enjoying watching them. And started liking them.
I really like the two at 1:30! They look *soooo* cool! :D
Also the one at 5:00 he looks *Pawesome*
when I go to the Anthrocon I might not go to the dance room because I don't like strobe lights. it might give me a headache.
1:44 it's majiras old suit! And telophone!
When I heard about Furry's and conventions, I was curious and did more research.. when I figured out what it was about, and what it's like I thought it was really cool and interesting! Now I'm planning on finding my Fursona and possibly going to conventions in the future! I'm a very shy, 11 year old girl but this seemed like it fits my art intrest, and a way for me to open up to the world.
u were and still is my idol I hope to grow up and give everyone love and care with a big heart young or old and keep the fandom going
These
furry costumes are AMAZING
what's the song at 4:11 ?
that was a cool video, bro :) one of my favorites.
Hopefully one day I can get a fursuit made and fly out there to Anthrocon and hang out with you guys!
4:37 is just adorableeeee
1:11 The most amazing thing about our community.
Total strangers can hug eachother as if they were family, and nobody judges.
+Derpina Herpencia Yeah! see when I'm in my normal self. I wouldn't even hug a family relative. but when I put on a mask, I could hug just about anyone!!!!😁😁😁😁😁I'm gonna work hard to get a fursuit!
And the kid
Ahkando IDK which was more adorable, the fursuiters costume or the baby they played with! Cuteness overload!
And does anyone know who the lighted rainbow canine is at 3:20?
awesome, do you make your fursuit or do you buy it? I want one, I want to make one if it's not too hard.
