Today we would like to recognize Ken Sample aka Ken Cougar. A Black man who is credited with creating and coining the term "Fursona". While drawing one of his "Exotics" Ken drew a Cougar character that looked strikingly like himself. Attendees of this conference also wanted their own characters!

Trying to think of a theme for the upcoming yarn dye run we’re doing… Current ideas are Dungeon Crawler Carl inspired but it’s hard to come up with color ideas and name ideas for that. But I’m told those are going crazy right now as yarn drops. What do the kids like these days? 🤔

(Me, learning that someone I thought was interesting and maybe even cool is anti-trans) Huh, well, that's that then (Drops the whole person into the bin)

Fuck just sharing this I feel like I gotta quote it to like... point out that one of if not the first fursona ever recorded in the furry community is black coded. Fucking dipshit ass white supremacist furries don't know a DAMN thing about the history of this subculture.

"why do ppl apply race to furries furry is about escapism from race" is a sentence that goes crazy if you're stupid and racist
