Stanford’s Furry Club embraced the unexpected—donning costumes of hoodies and jeans, they dressed up as “people” for this Halloween. Tails were shed (in their entirety), fursuits were closeted, and, for the first time in months, the members of SFC unclipped their collars.
Unfortunately, these ingenious costumes were not recognized with the awe that the furries expected. Showing up to several frats for the Row Trick-or-Treat holding their tote bags out high, they were turned away and refused candy. This complete lack of respect for their costumes caused several to return to their furry roots. Eyewitness accounts state that some dropped to all fours and barked, while others pouted and did their best puppy whimper. One student, who reportedly personally aligns with elephant-kind, made their best angry trumpet noise.
“Quite frankly, it’s offensive,” one member of the furry club told us at Flipside, “It’s actually absurdly difficult to find a skin-textured fabric, and it took weeks to make the human suit. A little bit of respect for my craft would have been nice.”
While many were disappointed by the reception to their costumes, others embraced the change of pace that was human cosplay. “I’m conflicted” another furry commented, “It’s kind of weird to see my pack disguised as… a friend group?”
