I've been to a mascot/costume party before, and it was absolutely horrid.
Everyone was wearing a mascot costume, and I was dressed at Dracula.
They strapped a cat headband on me, and a belt with a lion tail. It was very itchy and uncomfortable, and the tail kept snagging..
Eventually I was in a spare puppy suit, hot, sweaty, suffocating and miserable.
How "you" (furries and scalies) find wearing such uncomfortable things invigorating and making you feel better confuse me. Why change what you have in the first place? I'm not saying it's wrong, dreams are all we have that are free. It's just... well, it strikes me as strange.
Lets put it this way, I see furries and scalies are posers to animals as emos are posers to goths. If you want to be an animal, try going the whole way, and not just "anthro", leave those human thoughts behind, be handicapped, ignorant and untainted, like a true animal.
But don't be so obsessed as to wear fake extensions of the real thing either, be happy with the body parts you have now, they're all you have. Collars and other accessories are okay as they are not part of the body, like cloths. In fact, I see collars as either a symbol of friendship and mutuality between a human and a beast, or a symbol of how much power man has over animals.
Yet I'd much rather be a loyal dog than a greedy man. I'm not that different from furries and scalies I guess, just a little bit freakier. But aren't we all freaks? Heh.
And as for your last sentence,
Wag na wag mong ulitin ang pangalan niya sa akin. Meron akong tinatago na malalim na galit sa kanyang aktor.
