So Bojack’s friend, Mr. Peanutbutter, the star of Mr. Peanutbutter’s House?
What is this…a crossover episode?
Furries view their fursonas like mascots? 🤨 TI…L?
A ‘mascot’ is really not that far off for some. A lot of furries use fursonas as an idealized version of themselves or who they’d like to be. In my probably biased opinion I think it does a lot more for mental health than you might think. Others use them as OCs and play with them like dolls which I guess doesn’t really apply here.
Good news, my mental health is about to improve.
Warning there is a whole ass iceberg and not everyone is on the same level.
Pro tip: if you write cross-instance links like !furry_irl@pawb.social instead of full URLs, it opens on your instance instead of the target one meaning you stay logged in. Also it doesn’t open a browser if you click it on mobile.
Who will cheer for you, if not yourself?
I personally never have thought of it like that, but I might just have to start calling my fursona Ace my mascot.
It’s actually a pretty neat way of conceptualizing it. I’m sure many use it as an alter-ego, but I know there are others that feel it is more of a roleplay instead.
In my days we just called it a totem animal. Apparently I’m a chameleon.
It’s called a Patronus, my guy.

I think people should have mascots. Mine would be a golden retriever wearing sunglasses and holding a beer
