I saw a guy wearing a moving tail..?

At the farmers market.
He was dressed in black, but kind of definitely had a dork vibe, bright white shoes and socks pulled up. He walked past and had a huge, moving (battery powered?) coon tail hanging out from under his pseudo trench coat. It didn't fit the style I thought he was going after and has had me wondering about that.
I'm all for people doing whatever they want in the pursuit of , but this had me scratching my head. Don't mean to try and classify people like that, but yeah, I can't get my mind off of this man's tail. Is this a "furry" that I've heard about, or something else entirely? Please advise.

You should have trailed him and got a picture.

Eh.. He does a good enough job being a social pariah, I didn't want to add to it by obviously taking pics of him.

Dude, I live in Pittsburgh, and much like the sparrows to Capistrano, the furries are in town RIGHT NOW for Anthrocon. http://www.anthrocon.org/

Bars stock extralong straws with big signs saying. "Furries Welcome!"

It looked very lush and well made, fwiw..
Guy clearly spent some coin on it.

This is the first time I've ever heard of this. A little strange, but whatever..

That's kinda where I'm at right now. Good for him, but I've never seen this before and it had me intrigued in a weird way.

Dude, I was at the giant rubber ducky when it was in Pittsburgh and there was a furry breakdancing nearby, and my Grandma was like, "Oh, look at the furry"
Every year they swarm here...

Tails are a big business at festivals, at least in Oregon. I probably saw ~1000 fox and coyote tails attached to people at the Oregon country fair yesterday. One day of that shit is enough for me anymore, but Beats Antique fucking rocked!

First I heard of furries was one of those CSI type shows. Don't really know too much about its origins but I guess I can see the appeal somewhat. I could see dressing up for a Star Trek convention being kind of fun.

The first time I heard of furries was here, still never saw one.
Idk what I'd do if I seen someone walking around with a battery powered tail, I'd probably try not to look, but would have to...
