They've been around a long time actually. Somebody had to make mascot costumes, and i imagine that skillset translates pretty well to fursuits

Mascots are just commercially acceptable fursonas

[-] CXORA@aussie.zone 22 points 1 day ago

Mascots are corporate / sports fursonas.

And the people behind those corporate fursonas hate it. Horny furries drove cereal mascot Tony the Tiger off of Twitter. XD
