  • Gosh, can you imagine how baffled everyone else would be? The other ramifications as well… Furries around the world would be hounding (heh, pun) you to demand you change them as well, or tell them how you changed, and your only answer would be “ehh??” You’d be the focus of all the late night talk shows, probably get way more than just fifteen minutes of fame. If played right, you could be a celebrity within the year.

    Clothing would be a whole issue. Your entire wardrobe would (likely) become immediately useless. Shoes and socks aren’t gonna work for most anthro feet, and not many pants, skirts, or dresses have tail holes. Most people would have to learn a whole new skillset of seamster/seamstress(/seamstex?) to re-make your wardrobe.

    And the big game hunters – if man is the most dangerous game, what does that mean for a former-human-now-elevated? How long until one of them tries to get a new trophy to mount on their wall? Where do the laws fall on that? Would it be murder or animal cruelty?

    There’s a whole ethical debate to follow on health care; would you go to a doctor, or a veterinarian? How would your diet change? Lost pf people have Pokésonas and Pokémon naturally subsist on mainly berries that don’t exactly exist in our boring world. Most real-world animal diets are pretty-well understood, though, so I suppose you could work something out.

    Can’t forget the scientists, who would love so very much to have a peek at your anatomy and figure out what and why and how and end up blaming it on quarks or something before locking you in a government facility for forever.

    You’d be either a superstar or shunned, renowned or rejected, noteworthy or non grata… it would really be up to the people around you. And they’d be stinky humans, so probably you’d end up a pariah.

    But anyway yeah I would definitely do it in a heartbeat
