BEING A FURRY IS A HOBBY. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE ASHAMED IF DRESSING UP AS A CHARACTER IS WHAT YOU LIKE TO DO. PEOPLE DON'T SHAME NORMAL COSPLAYERS ABOUT WHAT THEY DO, SO THE PEOPLE UNDER THE SUITS DON'T NEED TO FEEL BAD. WE ARE PEOPLE, HUMAN BEINGS UNDER THE MASK, AND WE WANT TO BE TREATED THAT WAY.
