Turning Into Your Avi

Have you ever gotten dressed for the day, done your hair, unwrinkled your clothes...and then looked in the mirror and said to yourself, "SHIT..I look like my avi."

Whether it's the makeshift hairstyle you did or the outfit you bought at the store because it looked "cool"...I think we all end up looking like our avi. Now the question remains, are we looking like our avis...or our are avis looking like us? This is a perplexing question when considering that some RL people have avis of different genders and/or different species. Thus, when you are looking at tiger costumes (or another gender's clothes) ...do these people want to wear that shit in RL too?

This is probably one of the reasons the whole "furry" culture has creeped me the fuck out. (and still does). Like every other American I learned about this subculture through nothing else but... television, C.S.I. nonetheless. In this episode the furries (i.e. people in costumes) were "doing it" in like fur piles. Fur piles of people in costumes... not so hot right now. And rather disturbing.

After watching such an episode [and ofcourse EVERYTHING on TV (esp. C.S.I.) is true] I came to a rather disturbed conclusion about furries... they all dress up in costumes and go at it like rabbits (excuse the pun).

But is this truly who SL ® furries are as they RPG on SL®? Are they RL furpilin' sex fiends?

While I turn more and more into my avatar (or vice versa) ...are these SL® furries secretly developing tails and ear and fur fetishes in RL (or vice versa)? Maybe this is something I never want to know the answer to... especially as a recent friend of mine on SL turned ..FURRY *gasp*

I think ultimately we don't want to think that the furry chick we know on SL ®who looks like this:


Really looks like THIS:
