"Fursuiting is the MOST furry activity."
It's the activity that is most exclusive to the fandom. I'm skeptical that it is, as of yet, the most furry thing. (hmm. "In Search of the Most Furry Thing" oh god, am I old already?)
" Fursuiting is getting to play with the characters instead of reading about them."
Hm, some of the acting is good. But I'd rather know a character, an actual character, not a costume. (yes I know there is some fursuit character development out there)
I guess it's a little bit like playing with a live-action Disney character at Disneyland, versus watching the movie.
"I would say no, not a conscious one. I think there is a generational division though, that reflects changing times. "
Of course, things can, and will change. Maybe they will change towards a more balanced, sophisticated, and fun fandom for all.
"I don't know what your theories are but my theory is that early media representation was biased for fursuiting[etc.]" Interesting. makes sense!
