    One of my clients at work has this IT guy with a furry profile picture on Zoom.

    I assumed it was a mistake, people join with dumb pictures/names sometimes, but no. He never changed it in any of our meetings.

    And then I looked at his account in our software, which allows users to upload their own photo, and he put a different furry picture there. A strictly work related account, that only his coworkers and us can see.

    And you know what, I respect it.

      Reminds me of this:

      Not sure if this is real, but you know you’ve won at life when you can submit something looking like this and still get hired.

      I like when I start a job and someone has a furry avatar. I know who to go when something weird comes up I can’t figure out. It’s worked out for me so far.

      I work as a Linux sysadmin and I have quite a few plushies strewn about my office; and for my profile pic I have Ikea Japan’s Blahaj in a business suit. Have yet to here any grief about it!

        Why would you get any grief for a profile picture with a proper business suit?

        It’s like getting mad at a male programmer for having a beard, even the business majors know it’s part of the professional attire.

      I have a coworker with a furry pic for his work profile! He recently updated it to a different art of the same character. This guy is totally commissioning art of his fursona and using it for his work profiles. Im honestly kind of impressed by his dedication. Hes some kind of rodent like maybe a possum?

          You say that, but his current pic is actually! Its less fursona-y then his old pic which looked like it was made by someone on deviant art for $30 😸

            LOVE IT. From this pic, I wouldn’t go directly to “furry”, but I trust you on his other pics. (Speaking as a furry lawl)

              Yea, I’m a bit furry-curious, and now looking at it, this one is may not be the same character but just another cute rodent. His previous pic was undeniably furry.

              I found it

                Ohhh yeah that’s hella furry-coded hahaha. I love it! My friend had a pet possum (well, he pretends to be a raccoon when he shows up at her house… she has a horde of raccoons) and I’m so envious. They’re such wonderful trash animals.
