I'm definitely feeling that, as well. I feel like you need increasingly elaborate and expensive suits and the ability to afford to travel and stay in increasingly pricey hotels
without that, you have so much less irl presence as a furry, and it gets hard to meet anyone
I get this very much. There is always an unmentioned pressure to commission or buy more elaborate gear,suits, art, etc. The only way you get noticed is to display something, the only way to be friends with people is to spend a ton to fly somewhere. Feels like it wasn’t as bad years back.
