I feel like it's a pretty bold claim to call America the inventor of furries when ancient Egyptians were making fursonas.

Clearly the sole reason for the fall of the Egyptian dynasties: they went too far into their furdom

I am genuinely surprised Europe has so few, given how much I've seen Eurofurence mentioned on my social timelines whenever that one approaches. I suppose that's the only European one I really hear about, but still, the impression I got was that there were a fair few people in Europe that would go to one.

Well, there are some big ones, but not so man (people mostly travel).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

There's probably more smaller ones, and the big ones are concentrated

But I haven't been in one yet so, I just know that friends tend to travel to get to them. It helps that for most of Europe you can just take a train to get to the other countries

If I were forced to choose ... yes, it would be the ones that build dams just to keep everyone else away from their homes.

those must be old numbers. germany has more than 3 conventions with more than 500 ppl. every csd has more than 500 furries. https://furrycons.com/calendar/calendar.php?year=2024&loc=eu

I'm disappointed in you, Chile.

Hey now that's not fair.

We have a globally recognized national pastime that defines who we are as a people really well.

We lead the developed world in mass shootings.

No one lets their kids shoot their other kids as they gawk and do nothing (except make ad revenue off the coverage) like us Americans. pew pew pew Murica pew pew. 🇺🇸
