Jubei HimuraKazumaGShepNo, but then that wouldn't be fun, now would it and it's not like he would wear it all the time. Besides this is all theoritcal. As I mentioned, I generally don't have much of an interest in RPing but it gives ideas and that's important.
Like to give an idea, he could have been doing a show on a the station for the kids and went to the bar for a drink and because he was so "in character" he could completely forgot it was on, and of course he wouldn't think much of then be reminded that "hey you still have your suit on." I mean this is what role play is isn't it? If I expect this character to just be accepted then that'd almost be like trying to have a perfect character which as far as I know is very looked down upon, or he could have a damaged background and wearing the suit brings him comfort. There are any number of reasons I could give him for having it and wearing it.
Huh... I mean, I'm not personally into that subculture... but, that is the most balanced and sane concept I've seen so far. Hell... it fits into the lore without issue.
And yeah... you would face social issues, as I'm sure people in anipamorphic (sp?) suits would still not widely accepted. But you seem to understand that. Thus, I can get behind that.
As a side note, I don't think that Phisto was being insulting. I think he was merely saying that it seems you don't know yet why the character would wear the suite, and is suggesting that is an important thing to dial in before moving on.
That's because this character doesn't even exist at all, I was just giving examples of what could be done. I wasn't trying to be mean with my response, I was just saying that I couldn't care if someone accepted the character concept or not. I mean yes it is my job as a writer to give the character reasons as to how or why they are the way they are or do the things they do but at the end of the day regardless of what I do it's the reader's job to accept it or not.

And you expect this character to just... be accepted in a conventional social setting?

"I forgot that I was wearing a furry suit" is a pretty tough sell.
"I'm dysfunctional and need a furry suit to make me feel better" sounds like someone who shouldn't be trusted with a spaceship... or an inadvertent callout on real life furries.
And please don't try to force a false binary between the "perfect character" and someone who must wear a furry suit. It's disingenuous.
If I were to call out real life furries than I'd be calling myself out. Again these are just suggestions not fact. I never said they "must" wear or implied it at all.
