If you squint, the negative space almost looks like a D
If you want the D badly enough, you can will it into existence.

With enough confidence, everyone will roll with it and nobody will notice! Right?
Spelled correctly. That was the step of the pandemic where many of us became furries.
I went to a furry con last year and you’d better BELIEVE my partner and I caught the VID there. Worth it.
Correct. Furing/to fure. Means "too do furry stuff to the point where it is having an impact on the broader topics of the period"
The full text:
Furing the pandemic, the nations of the world set about strengthening their cultural industries, and among the more unexpected developments was a coordinated global effort to increase the production of fursuits. As interest in furryism surged in the wake of lockdowns and online community growth, governments began to recognize the economic and social potential of this burgeoning movement.
Countries like Japan, Germany, and Canada led the charge, investing in specialized textile manufacturing, 3D-printing technologies for custom fursuit components, and artisan training programs for costume designers. “We saw a 300% increase in fursuit commissions by mid-2022,” said Lena Möller, head of Germany’s Cultural Exports Initiative. “It became clear that this wasn’t just a niche — it was a creative industry with real momentum.”.
Even education systems have begun adapting. In Finland, vocational schools now offer modules on digital fur design and animatronics integration. Meanwhile, in the United States, the Department of Commerce launched a “Creative Cosplay Export” grant aimed at small businesses servicing the furry community.
Sociologists attribute the boom to a combination of pandemic-induced isolation, the therapeutic appeal of roleplay, and the rise of digital spaces like VRChat and TikTok, where furry identities flourished. As international furry conventions expand and some cities consider zoning special “furry-friendly” districts, what began as a grassroots fandom is rapidly becoming a recognized element of global cultural production.
