Are you "out" as furry? (pawb.social)

So this is something I've been thinking about a bit recently, and I'd be interested in hearing people's thoughts on the matter.

Lets suppose you meet someone, and chat socially with them. Maybe a work colleague, maybe a friend met through a friend. You aren't that close with them, but you get the vibe that they aren't a bigot or judgemental at the very least. If the conversation turned to furry stuff, would you tell them that you like furry art?

Do you keep a different set of non-furry socials for your irl friends and family? What about having a furry profile pic on your work slack? Or your Github? Do you try hard to make sure that nobody will be able to find your secret furry double life if they know you IRL?

I guess, in essence, I'm wondering if you draw a hard line between your "sfw furry life" and your "IRL life".

I don't know that I'm very furry to start with. To your first question. I've never really felt the need. Although I like looking, I don't think its a big part of who I am. As far as friends and family knowing, I hope my brother who lives with me has figured it out, but I've never felt a need to bring it up. I've had others bring it up twice; I don't remember the context but their thoughts were the standard "furries are gross", so I did a little defense and changed the subject.

I've brought up the fact I'm making a website for digital artists that include buying and selling digital art, nobody has responded in any way that would indicate any interest. One person asked "like a booru site, don't those have a lot of NSFW". So, again, I've just never felt the need to bring it up, and I've have identifying pictures on work chat.
