re “is it an american thing,” someone else will have to field the rest of your question

Compare with a GDP per capita map. I'm not an economist, but it appears furries are wealth 📈

We need some data on the poor furries who can’t afford cons. Back in high school it was just a matter of sticking a fluffy tail to the back of your pants

from the stories I hear about commissions for art and suits, I'd agree. but then again, it's probably also like mountaineering, either you live like a bum out of your van, or you organize expesive ass trips to far away mountains

counterpoint, America is big, has atrocious public transport, and though furries that can afford suits can probably also afford flights, there's plenty who cannot afford either, or just pick one

It's for the safety of IT departments everywhere that furries' need for travel is limited

There could also maybe be $50,000 worth of fursuits there too
