It was a warm day, very warm and I was with my sister and a friend of her on a blossom festival in my home city.
They offered many things, also a fursuit walk which I was a part of. It was my first one and all in all very great. The people there where friendly, also to newbies like me and helped me to keep with the group. And one personen was on my side especially. I didn’t knew them before but they appeared to be very friendly and welcoming.
We walked together with the other furries while my sister was taking pictures of the whole event. But everything has to come to an end, so also the fursuit walk. After that, me and the person decided that we want to keep in touch so we exchanged our numbers.
We messaged each other and I felt very happy about meeting them. One day I got the message: “I found out you are a zoophile but that’s okay because I think you are super kind”
That message made me very happy. After that we didn’t talk about that topic anymore. They even invited me in deverse furry group chats. Also there I didn’t have problems. The person also picked me up from school one time and we baked. They even drew my fursona one time.
Still everything seemed fine.
After some time we didn’t message each other that often anymore. But that was fine since we bouth have still other people and our private life.
One day I got removed from a furry group chat. I was confused but I thought the reason might have been my inactivity so I didn’t thought about it too long. On a other day I send a pic of a plushie which I just got in a other group chat.
And guess what happened?
They removed me. The person which invited me in the first place. Now I was really confused. If there were a problem they just could have told it. But they didn’t.
I would say I am a very patient person so I waited for her to message me. And waited, and waited.
The next day a person of one of the group chats messaged me, asked me if I love animals. I didn’t went into a discussion. After the stranger told me that I need help I just blocked them. I wanted to talk to the person from the fursuit walk but…
Guess what?
They blocked me everywhere. On Insta, On Tiktok, On WhatsApp. After all that I didn’t got harresed again.
And I ask myself: Why didn’t this person said they have a problem in the first place? Why did they pretent everything is fine? At the end I think they were just a coward.
I told other Friends of me about that and they also said how stupid it was to act like this.
At least I know who is really with me and who is not. And I am not going to change because of people who hate me for who I am.
I know this post is on the older side but I was checking things out and came across it.
I’m in a similar boat. I’m an AAM and my partner and I got together when I was technically still underage. He didn’t know that (we met over the internet, I don’t disclose my age, and always looked older than I am) and even if he did, I couldn’t care less. Unfortunately, most of the time, I have to defend him and make it clear I was the one who started the relationship and never told him my age. I have lost many “friends” because they can’t imagine that someone is genuinely attracted to adults with the adults just loving them back without any pressure or whatever. One literally told me they would never believe me. My family doesn’t care very much, so there’s that. All they made a real fuss about is me moving countries. They see my partner has put in a lot of effort to keep me save and happy. They have some minor complaints about his behavior but nothing about the age gap. Their complaints are mainly about things like him buying me snacks and soda when I ask without much of a second thought and things like that.
Sorry, I’m rambling. I’m a zoo too, I would love to be friends if you want to
