God damn it I was so much happier when I was reading these books. The world was like this big mystery full of things to discover. I had no responsibilities or obligations. Yet, just by learning and reading and asking questions I was doing exactly what I was supposed to. Life as a child is so simple all you need to do is grow (physically and mentally). That is your one goal and it's fun. I was so innocent and pure. I didn't know what porn was, or gore videos or violence or drug addiction or anything bad. I just read about a mouse who thought he was Indiana Jones.

>The furry fandom has its roots in the underground comix movement of the 1970s, a genre of comic books that depicts explicit content.[5] In 1976, a pair of cartoonists created the amateur press association Vootie, which was dedicated to animal-focused art.

>The specific term furry fandom was being used in fanzines as early as 1983, and had become the standard name for the genre by the mid-1990s, when it was defined as "the organized appreciation and dissemination of art and prose regarding 'Furries', or fictional mammalian anthropomorphic characters".[8]

>During the 1980s, furry fans began to publish fanzines, developing a diverse social group that eventually began to schedule social gatherings. By 1989, there was sufficient interest to stage the first furry convention.[10] It was called Confurence 0, and was held at the Holiday Inn Bristol Plaza in Costa Mesa, California.[11] The next decade, the internet became accessible to the general population and became the most popular means for furry fans to socialize.[12] The newsgroup alt.fan.furry was created in November 1990, and virtual environments such as MUCKs also became popular places on the internet for fans to meet and communicate.[13]
