Mid 30s but new to this
So I wanted to make this post because I just wanted to get some opinions.
Some context, I’m a 36 gay man that never really felt like I could ever be part of the LGBTQ community even though I’ve been out since I was 15. I’ve gamed all of my life; always had an affinity for the furry characters in games starting with Red XIII in FF7 as a kid. Later on I discovered cat boys in final fantasy xi then again in final fantasy xiv. I’ve felt like I connected with that on a different level than, “oh he’s just cute”.
Fast forward to recently. I’ve decided to take the plunge into the furry community. I have a fursona with commissioned art that I love to death.
I have attempted to use BARQ and have only made a few connections. As I look through social media, the profiles on BARQ, YouTube videos at cons, I keep thinking, “Am I too late to find community here?”
Maybe Tennessee is just not a great place for furries?
I’m just tired of feeling different and alone. I thought that I might find my place here but now I feel like I’m too old.
Is there hope? Is there an age limit to finding a community within the fandom? Or should I just keep this furry side of me to myself… not that I want to do that.
I just want big furry family 😭😭😭
You can find me on BARQ: @AriTheFox
I can also send over my telegram or discord if anyone wants to be friends with this fox or just continue the discussion off of here :3
