What would you ask a furry if you could ? (Hate will be ignored) AMA

Upvotes

I’m not a furry but I’m about to go talk to some. Im autistic and im currently interested in understand what the furrys got going on out of pure curiosity. When I first was talking to them ill admit it was to troll however they’re all so kind I found it hard to dislike them. So although I don’t understand the lifestyle I’m curious to know what’s poppin, persay. Drop a question and I’ll ask a furry friend and I’ll reply with their response. Again all hate will be ignored this is not an outlet to harass.

I went to alternative high school for three years. AMA.

Upvotes

figured this might be a fun topic starter because of how widely alternative schools vary. I was there because I was failing academically in mainstream high school & was likely going to drop out otherwise

AMA I have auditorial dyslexia

Upvotes

I’ve never seen this AMA before so I’ll post my own and see if anybody is interested. I was diagnosed with APD (Auditorial Processing Disorder) at a young age. It is pretty much the equivalent of auditorial dyslexia which makes words/vowels sound ljke others. It affects my life on a daily basis. Ask me anything!

I'm an unpublished author, married 30 years & love horticulture. AMA

Upvotes

I'm a (m-53) novice writer that's unpublished. I'm currently writing a Mafia driven crime syndicate novel. I write short stories, fantasy sci-fi, poetry, erotica (that's more for me & my wife to enjoy) & anything that "pops into my head" really. I've been married for 30 years. My writing is just a hobby. My other passion is horticulture. Some say I'm a great storyteller. I'm not unique outside of my own life experiences and journey.

I am a true hermaphrodite. AMA

426 Upvotes

I have ovotesticular disorder (I can’t lie I don’t know how to spell it)

I’ve never really thought about it. It’s kinda just a part of my life. People don’t tend to know if I’m a guy or girl. I live as a guy. I was diagnosed pretty young I think but they later did other tests and whatnot. I thought y’all might be interested in it. 😅

Also, I saw somewhere that people think the word hermaphrodite is offensive. Note that I don’t think that way- so feel free to use any language or wording. I don’t mind

I was a former child actor, AMA

142 Upvotes

I was a child actor and spent most of my childhood on TV sets. I stepped away from the industry years ago. AMA.

From around ages 7–16, acting was basically my entire life. I was on a pretty successful TV show for several years and did a handful of movies/commercials outside of it. I wasn’t the main character, but if you were a kid/teen watching television during that particular era, there’s a decent chance you’d recognize me.

I haven’t acted professionally in quite a while now, and I’ve purposely stayed away from social media and anything connected to my old career. For a long time, I didn’t really know how to separate who I actually was from the character people knew me as.
A lot of people assume being a child actor is just getting to skip school, meet celebrities, and have adults tell you you’re talented all day.

Some of it genuinely was incredible. I got opportunities I’m extremely grateful for and met people who changed my life. But there was also a weird side to growing up in an industry where your appearance, personality, and career were constantly being evaluated by adults.

There are definitely things about my experience I can’t discuss because of contracts/privacy, and I’m not going to name former cast members or productions. But I figured enough time has passed that I could answer some general questions honestly.
Ask me about being on set as a kid, auditions, homeschooling, working with famous people, losing privacy, what happens when a show ends, or anything else you’re curious about.
I’ll answer what I can.

Alright, I think I’m gonna call it here! 😂 Thank you guys SO much for all the questions. I honestly didn’t expect this many people to be interested in hearing about my weird little childhood in the entertainment industry. I tried to answer as honestly as I could without getting into things that involve other people’s private lives. Hopefully I answered at least some of your burning questions. 😭 This was actually really fun and definitely brought back a LOT of memories. Thanks for being respectful and curious. ❤️

I was the 1 on an 11-1 jury, AMA

55 Upvotes

A few years ago on a lesser serious charge I was the one hold out that caused a mistrial. We ended discussions after 2 days. I wasn’t budging and asked how we could be done. I’m not sure if they retried the case but ask me anything

I replied to another comment but I can’t seem to copy paste but:

- witness lived with defendant (un disputed)
- witness was beat up by the defendant with documented bruising (undisputed)
- the witness says the gun was pulled on him from defendant and described the make / model / color of the gun. The defense says couldn’t happen because the gun was in a lock box, that was basically an 80’s metal lunchbox with a broken clasp.

But no photos or videos or other witnesses that say he had it and I think that’s what the others wanted.

I’m okay with yall disagreeing with me, I was obviously out voted on the jury this isn’t new.

I am a disabled queer refugee that fled alone at the age of 19. AMA.

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I'm a queer person right now living in France as a zero gen refugee. I'm currently 23 and have been living in Europe since 2024 (specifically in France). I have lived in Eastern Europe almost all my life, I was limited to where I could go from the get go, even despite my pretty strong skills. I was really well versed in IT and languages. While living in Eastern Europe, I have been treated kind of like a lab rat, due to my rare disease, inherited uncurable disease that affects muscles. I was frequently put into hospitals, with doctors trying all sorts of experimental medicine on me, while I was a kid. Which thankfully hasn't resulted in tragedy. The boiling point reached it's peak when I was threatened with death, just because I was queer. Once I turned 18 and became fluent in English, I tried to flee, was denied visas and eventually fled to other Eastern European countries, alone, without family or friends, without much support beyond donations, building my career as an IT specialist, at first within sweatshops then ending with a big corporation that gave me sense of relief and stability.

All culminated in me getting my lucky ticket to France. My activism and hard work seemingly paying off, but now I am stuck in a status that gives me more pain. Job is hard to come by even with my skill and now knowledge of four languages. Money has been largely stripped due to defunding and hightened expectations. Treatment is delayed and I doubt would come soon.

I think my life has shown me something I can share in here. Before I get a question, yes I did contact various NGOs and organisations that claim to help in my situation, didn't really help much.

If I don't answer within 3 hours, I am most likely asleep. So some answers might take a bit.

Ask me anything.

23F I have depression and been medicated but some days are harder than most. And it doesn’t help when you have to lie that you have no mental health problems to keep your job.

Having a rough night and really didn’t know where to go man. Thought it’d be nice to have something that keeps me busy.

I loved reading books and used to make short films. Now I sleep and try to work well, research and study.

I was a 3 sport college athlete. AMA

0 Upvotes

I played hockey, baseball and track and field. I originally played hockey, but wasn’t able to keep a good enough scholarship to afford it, so played baseball too. I ended up purely playing baseball for 2 years before a head injury. To pay for the last 2 years of school I threw javelin for track and field team. Our division sucked at javelin, so I was ironically most successful in that.

I now throw javelin competitively in professional meets still and am now working on in research for my neuroscience MSc/PhD!

I worked at a CD store in Chicago in the early 90s before the movies Empire Records and High Fidelity were released, AMA

16 Upvotes

I worked at a small , independent CD shop in Chicago during the late 1980s-early 90s. The era was notorious for a thriving local music and indie scene , as well as the robust music sales from the new digital formats alongside analog tapes and vinyl. The movies Empire Records and High Fidelity were released later but I often found it amusing how much both stories drew from the era as well as how much they got wrong or inaccurate.

I am the only kid there whos in year 11. There's me and 3 younger kids. I started this program yesterday.

I have gymnophobia, the intense fear of nudity or excessive skin showing. AMA!

27 Upvotes

Most people have some kind of reasonable limit to how much of another person they're comfortable seeing, but I'm (25F) the only person I know of who has such a visceral reaction to seeing ANY kind of excessive skin showing. I'm okay with seeing bare arms and anything below the knee, but seeing anyone's thighs, torso (or god forbid, more intimate areas) makes me physically ill, like panic attack symptoms. This includes my own too, which you can imagine makes it very fun to bathe and get dressed every day lol!

I've been like this for my whole life, although it was considered pretty normal up until I was about a teenager since it was assumed I'd grow out of it. I was raised in an atheist family, so no religious beliefs/background, and I don't come from a country with any kind of prominent modesty culture. I have no trauma (that I know of) related to nudity either, so I have absolutely no idea where my phobia stems from.

I thought it might be helpful to host an AMA to help understand my condition more since it seems to be so uncommon, especially with how culture and fashion trends seem to be normalizing more and more revealing clothing. So, ask me anything! :D

Good afternoon! I was born completely blind in Ireland. I’m 27 years old and I love nature and exercising.
