How To Be A Fursuit Handler Part 1

[Julibugs357]

Very informal, thank you for uploading this. ^.=.^

[UltimateShadow3397]

"It's fursuit proof this way."

the paper falls...

apparently not as fursuit proof as you think! LOL

[PercyJackson98]

I am luving Cyber!!! I've seen him several times. I feel all awkward at cons cuz my head got massed up. Gotta fix it!!!

[TearsOfOblivionXIII]

@PercyJackson98 Syber's a girl.

[tnotwo]

I got my tail torn of :(

[tnotwo]

@tnotwo *off

[EVIL1357]

@tnotwo OH NOES!!!!!!! :(

Well, I hope the repair went well. <3

[webkinzglory]

Thanks for the heads up, someone pulled the tail off my fursuit and my spotter didn't notice until I turned around. I'll be sure to check for these!

[kittylion7]

Does anybody know where to buy these suits or know where a very nice video of how to make a suit is I mean a very good quality video thank you if u answer

[3emoXloser3]

SYBER!! i love syber :3

[KeruNyan]

Why is it on every fursuit video, there's people arguing about yiff. It's so sad and pointless.

[AlienXCherie]

Dude... The mainstream furry fandom is to yiff as anime is to hentai. Furry is not a fetish, its a subculture community based on anthro- cartoon animals. Yiff is the fetish part. EVERY fandom has a fetish... Even Star Trek. Hell, look at comic book super heroins!!!!

But I want a suit so bad! I love being happy, hyper and silly ( which, without a costume is seen as rude and embarrassing to my friends) as well as making people laugh, smile and come " alive" as my character

[drudigger]

@AlienXCherie Rule 34 it apply's to everything

[axelfox980]

@AlienXCherie

This.

I feel it's hypocritical as well that people call furry a yiff only thing,yet at the same time don't say the same about Anime. I got banned from one forum for having a Furaffinity account because people said it's a pr0n site,but it also has clean art. Yet most of the people on the site had a Deviantart account,i could say the same thing about DA what they said about Furaffinity. Stop being hypocrites!

[MeowMixerGuy]

You can tell they're horny but nothing happens, no yiff. Lame video.

[FurryFortress2]

@MeowMixerGuy Wha..?

[MeowMixerGuy]

@FurryFortress2

I mean why make a furry fetish video at all if there's no yiffing?

[FurryFortress2]

@MeowMixerGuy What is this I dont even.

[AnimalCreation]

Where was this

?

[libbyferrell1]

when I watch this, it makes me want to turn into a dragon.. but can you dress up at these places?

[TearsOfOblivionXIII]

@libbyferrell1 Dumb question, anyone can dress up at a furry convention.

[catkidtj]

is that a psp wit a camera?

[RanBo88]

@catkidtj um late reply, but yeah it is =D psp's do have camera assessories

[catkidtj]

@RanBo88 Yes i know psp do have camera assessories :3 and yes that is a late reply i dont even rememmber posting that -_-

[RanBo88]

@catkidtj xD yeah i figured just thought i post it just in case ^^

[catkidtj]

@RanBo88 Oh...ok. Cool :3

[SnowFlakeFlocodeneve]

shes the furry whisper>=3

[alectricfoxx]

Letting someone you don't already know, (or doesn't know what wearing a Fursuit is all about) into a headless lounge will not be beneficial to you. Keep the magic alive ;) Folks who don't get it, even the most curious,do not need to be in there. I know it's fun to share with your furiends and all; it's just that the Furs without Zuit don't feel the same as the ones who are wearing one. Spotters not included. We love spotters. :)

Gee Whiz, there weren't any spotters in '99 =^.^=

[celuler22]

i didnt watch all the way through when i asked

[celuler22]

is that syber helping

[ArticSkyWolf]

wow why are some people being such douches ripping ears off, so mean...

lol there was this guy recording the whole thing with his PSP!!!

[neospace112]

this is really helpful since one of my friends wants to be my handler

[MorrisandKelsey]

Why would someone ripp the ears off? that is soo fricken rude

[SmudgezOfFun]

"... brand new suit and somebody ripped his ear off his head"

"WOAH. OH."

Hahahaha gotta love the audience, I can just imagine their faces turning from :D to O: to D:

[KawaRyuu788]

have you ever had someone like, try to pull off ur suit? I'm a bit nervous of that.

[TearsOfOblivionXIII]

@KawaRyuu788 From my experience, so long as you have someone out of costume with you, you should be okay. I always have someone with me when I'm fursuiting so someone doesn't come up and destroy my fursuit. They're REALLY expensive.

[doinmyownthing]

It annoys me when you see parents encouraging their kids to pull the tails of characters in theme parks. They seem to forget that there is a person inside the suit who could get hurt. It's not nice and it's not clever! This is a good video to watch! Thanks for posting it! :)

[SharpieSabre]

is that Lucky Coyote talking? (pink shirt) ?

[ratchclank1]

Nice to know this stuff. Funny yet informative

[TheMarzipanJesus]

CYBER!!! I love you. <3

[MegaBobMartin]

im sorry to say this but the green tiger is r a pornstrar i gots the proof

[IAMTHEREFLECTIONMAN]

@MegaBobMartin 

NO U DONT.

[IAMTHEREFLECTIONMAN]

@IAMTHEREFLECTIONMAN 

THAT WAS A FORCED MEME.IT IS USED TO SAY THAT WHAT YOU DID DOESN'T MATTER AND DID NOT HAPPEN.

[jessnaoter]

@MegaBobMartin WHATTTTT

[babacaca4]

@MegaBobMartin show me the proof

[shyCOREProductions]

@MegaBobMartin His name is Skittels and if you don't like furry porn don't watch it -_-

[MythsolverMercy]

I'd be seriously pissed if someone ripepd something off of my (future) fursuit. I might sue depending on how tick I was. XD

[FMAfanFMA]

Very helpful. (: Also, is Skittle male or female? I'm seeing abs, but I've always seen the character as female.

[Ookani]

@FMAfanFMA she could always be a fairly muscular female... (shrug) or a male version of the character for the sake of the suit?

[RoverDeDog96]

@Tanglefire28

But did you have to buy the other materials like foam or wire ect; not just the fur?

I was hoping to spend less than $150 AUS for a full suit, but after getting some info from a fursuiter they said it would cost a lot more than that

[Shirazzikkdh]

@Tanglefire28 How did you do it I would like to know so I can do the same myself.

[huhjustin]

all these people deserve to be tied to a chair with thin barbed wire and then bathed in salt. Fucking cancer of the world.

[GeekyMex]

What's a handler, what do they do?

[cutelion207]

anyone know how 2 contact the lady who hosted this panel

[starlytube]

I would be so pissed if someone pulled my ears off.....

[RyoStorm]

im scared now because someone might try to rip things off of my fursuit.

[drakenbakken]

I think i would punch someone if they ripped off my ears... thats like cutting someones hair or kicking in the nuts!

[NashiNashii]

Wait forget it. Man, I did not know you needed a guide xD I suppose many are willing to attack the furries. Haha

[NashiNashii]

..Whats a handler?

[metalfoxfurry666]

THIS VIDEO TURNED ME INTO A FURRY

[saiyuyo]

Very informative! ill pass this onto some furs out there.

[metalfoxfurry666]

If someone rips your ears off it hurts

[hagiwolfe]

I've been looking for a fursuit for a long time I finally got down my Fursona and I'm glad for that woot lol this is very helpful x3

[SoulWebkinz]

I have one friend that could be my fursuit handler lol I know ONE person that is into this stuff sadly.

[furfem]

so like are there people that go to these conventions and offer themselves as handlers? or do you bring your own along,im a furry but never been to a con

[BevinKB]

@furfem For fursuiting at a convention (or anywhere else in public), bring a friend who'll be willing to be your Handler.

[mistressofwolves132]

i forgot to put tail in my question

[mistressofwolves132]

is there a to get just the paw gloves and ears to a wolf?

[TheodoretheChipmunk4]

Hello, i'm new to the furry fandom. I'm really excited to be a furry! :)

[notedkillerrage]

@TheodoretheChipmunk4 i jsut started about a week ago and its really hard starting out and i was wondering if it was hard for you, like what you did when you first started

[AlienMagi]

hahah this made ma laugh so hard!

[pielol36]

being a furry is something you do for fun.

and yes furries is very gay :P

thats why i love them lol

[zuri2hip14]

@CorgiLover123

yeah i think so also no one should ever touch your suit unless you say "ok you can put on the head"

yeah im getting mine on tuseday and its really cool

[xXxSpikeySuicidexXx]

I'm making a fursuit now. :D

[StopNation]

I R FURRY NOA

[darkraichu55]

Thats scary...

....

....

I sort of want one now.

[spiritkitten314]

i cant wait till im old enough to go to my first con!

[suki3434]

I'm going to Anime expo 2010 and I'm making a fursuit so yeah..this is actually helping me a bit XD

[CrazySquirrelXD]

I'm hoping to get a suit soon, but none of my friends knows how to be a handler. I hope this helps XD

[DarkRockRipper]

okey im not sure if im a furry or not but the whole fursuit thing confuses the fkn hell out of me iv seen alot of vids and my mind is still blank as hell

but the only reason i would really wear a fursuit is to get some footage of doing the melbourne shuffle thats about it otherwise i guess im kinda a furry but my life does not revolve around it XD if anybody has a link of a fursuit that shuffles besides the version of the fail puppy and penguin

[UniversalVision]

She sounds like a trainer at a zoo! HAHA! Don't touch the animals dear, and especially don't rip off their ears. HAHA! I'm not a furry, but seeing how cute they are I WANT to rip off their ears! HAHA! Oh, I'm soo bad.

[UniversalVision]

@UniversalVision I also want to add that she's also a Furry whisperer! Whenever she talks to them, you cannot hear the furries talk, but you see how they "whisper" into her ear! HAHA... I'm such a douche.

[TheFoxSummoner]

SYBER omg hes so cool

[xXLeafyLaLaXx]

@TheFoxSummoner she.

[xXxiiWafflesxXx]

I love 3:13 that was funny,

poor syber xD

[Nidonemo]

"It's fursuit proof this way."

*Cyber breaks it.*

XD

[Project12Productions]

i luv that psp :D im fixing to get a cam for mine too! i wana get soulcalibur but its 40$...

[Miyaxfursona]

The 1st fursuit u see, is the dog Syber! I want to make a fursuit like Syber...but....I don't wanna be a stealer, cuz if I make a suit like Syber, and name it diferently, sill is stealing! I wuv Syber, and Flux....If u do not know who Flux is, he is the Squeaky Kangaroo, that squeaks everytime his mouth opens and closes.

[thomasmclake]

is there somewhere were we all can meet like a meeting in canada

[hyean4]

THIS VIDEO TURNED ME INTO A FURRY

[Kwaiibunneh]

@hyean4 O RLY?

[hyean4]

@Kwaiibunneh yeap

[Panzerelch]

oh MsShivers I thought you were older.. ah well your life will be as awesome as you like as your under14. btw I like your art you have alot of skill at your age. and alot of people do make money at this.. I spend alot on it :3

[eluvb]

haha skittle is so sexual

[NaughtMage]

This is a great video! my friends need this haha, um i was wondering if anyone new where to get a fox tail, ears and paws, im doing a semi-suit thing and i dont know where to get. please leave me a message if u know

[gingaakitalover]

DEFINATELY a useful video ;)

[88WolFSaW]

Thts why I carry Chocolate around so people wont pounce on my brother. I feel sorry for Balto, why would someone even do that??

[eXpLodingj2ice]

Anybody want Chocolate? Frozen goodness! I even have Lactose free!

[furries98777]

syber is epic  =^_^=

[sonicjess97]

SYBER!!!!!!

[MsShivers]

what the hell is 'fursuiting'

LOL

it looks so sad rofl

Why do you even do this? s bit sad in my opinion xD

[rhino2960]

@MsShivers we do it because we enjoy it, im sure u have things that u do that u enjoy, we just enjoy something that u might not understand is all.

[MsShivers]

i just think its a bit funny the way adults and older people dress up in sparkle dog costumes

i think they can do alot more with their lives

do you even get paid to do that?

[Psypr1s]

Wow you're an ass! Some people do Fantasy Football - it's their HOBBY! I happen to be a fursuit HANDLER, not a furry myself so I can see from the outside - just SEEING a furry brings smiles to so many people! Everytime my friend is hugged by a kid (or even an adult) it makes it all worth it. Try seeing it that way, okay =) Sorry to go off on you, it's a pet peeve of mine ^_^;

[Panzerelch]

@Msshivers what do you do with your awesome life?

[MsShivers]

you think i have an awesome life? thanks :]

oh and, i live it [ by the way the comment ^ up there i meant that they could get a job rather than acting like nerds and dressing up as sparkledogs]

[SpazzticGlitch]

@MsShivers Because you can't possibly do both? (Have a job and be a fursuiter, that is.)

[furryisthenewedgy]

It's kind of sad in itself that you say that . . . they wouldn't be doing it if it didn't make them happy.

[HowlingDoomBlazer]

i mustz go..

[eluvb]

is there a way to see what syber looks like as a human?

[eXpLodingj2ice]

Nope probobly her Myspace if she has one

[rushnerd]

Holy shit I recognize the Green and blue cat.....from...xtube :DDDDDDD

[ayamemousy]

OMG YOUR SO RIGHT!

[Ceiliguliminix]

those 2 suits are really awesome

[CorgiLover123]

not to sound rude, but no one should touch a fursuit unless they ASK they are expensive I paid about 600 for a partial, an whole suit is ALOT more. I'd be really upset if my ears on my head were ripped off :(

[CorgiLover123]

because I'm fursuiting for the first time next month on v-day weekened and I"m a bit scared LOL

[TheFoxSummoner]

@CorgiLover123 are u dumb thas why ppl MAKE them cuz they make them so they can do whut ver without damageing them

[CorgiLover123]

@TheFoxSummoner

what the hell are you talking about? LOL, all I said was no one should even touch one without asking. Obviously you're the dumb one, but I'm not going to argue with you, so don't expect another reply back. Not going to argue with a 12 year old that knows nothing.good day.

[xXLeafyLaLaXx]

@CorgiLover123 if somebody ripped my fursuit somebody would be fucked up. lol. SO EXPENSIVE!

[CorgiLover123]

@xXLeafyLaLaXx

I know, but let's say if you made it yourself. If I made mine myself (which I'm going to try in the future) and someone ripped it. I would still be horribly mad. Even if it's really cheap it still took TONS of time and effort y'know?

[iXGoldenWolfXi]

@CorgiLover123 some people wont really think of it like that really. not all of them realise how much they cost and curiosity will get the better of them etc.

kinda a case of see it want to touch it :)

[berner]

@CorgiLover123 I would nom them if they fell off :o

[silvertigersteed]

@CorgiLover123 You're very lucky you're snout didn't get ripped off from a 8 year old.... -_-

[CorgiLover123]

@silvertigersteed

I don't fursuit around kids for that reason

[KaausHound]

@CorgiLover123 ia agree totally, i would hate that too, but i also understand that if you are around kids, they dont understand and we are giant fluffy animals and that is temping to be touched by them, but still they need to understand and learn :)

[MythsolverMercy]

@KaausHound True but then that's when you seriously need a spotter. Small kids don't realise what they are doing and, sadly, you cannot fully rely on their parents...

The you have to watch out for those kids who just LOVE to start trouble...

[Shirazzikkdh]

@CorgiLover123 Minimum for materials is about 600 for a full suit if you make it yourself.

[CharmingMelancholy]

@CorgiLover123 Small children aren't going to think to ask for the most part. You should hope your suit is well made enough that a small childs tugging won't hurt.

[ArticSkyWolf]

@CharmingMelancholy add this: stay away from sandboxes and ice cream

[900RedYoshi]

@Haxbox1337 Wow. No need for that. Let people do what they want to do. If you don't like it you don't have to watch it, look at it, be a part of it, just ignore it.

[DominoDingoe]

I thought walking with and looking out for us fursuiter's was common sense. Why was this a panel?

1. Grab a fanboy

2. have them use common sense while walking with you. XD

[europe0wnz]

so, can u just buy ur own suit and just go there?or are they like employee's?

[kaspernbs]

Nope these are just normal people with their own suits, much like cosplayers.. volunteering to entertain and show off their suits.

[FrostTheWolf1]

this is really weird, but up intill now, ive never noticed that cyber has music note on her!

[MimiTheRoodog]

omg same here XDDD

[MidKniight]

whoever the girl is who ran that panel looks like she did a great job and really knew what she was talking about!

[dogtrainer11returns]

It's fuuuuuuuun :3

[BlackrendX]

For some people it's a fetish... Most of us just do it for fun.

[DominoDingoe]

Other way around Blackrend...

You must be new :D

[KC0TLV]

Thanks fur posting this - I couldn't make it to this panel, so I'm glad someone filmed it - excellent information - thanks!

[rhino2960]

awesome im hoping to make the next fur con in washington ill have to fly to get there though, also im gonna get a suit within a few months here his names gonna be crimson

[RocketTCoyote]

Very helpful. I will share this with my handlers.

[96AF]

wow. now THAT is a class i wanna attend ;3

Aww Poor Baltowoof! O:

His ears were pulled off? Damn people ¬¬

[superbabsy123]

ooohhh thats cute¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[HyperFoxIII]

sort of like a classroom...

[FurryFanatic101]

"Its fursuit proof"

fursuiter fiddles with it, it breaks!

lol

poor doggie that got his ears ripped off
