An influencer who has come out as a furry has revealed that she has received death threats daily because of her look.
In Sabi Mango’s most viewed clip, which over 604,000 people have seen, she went shopping and for food with some friends.
She dresses up as a desert fox and wears a baby pink lolita dress among other pink and white items.

Her outfit is completed with a mask and some gloves.
Sabi decided to become a furry on TikTok a month ago after she began dressing up as a hobby one year ago.
A furry is defined as an enthusiast for animal characters with human characteristics, in particular a person who dresses up like an animal character.
She recently spoke to the local press and stated that her family and friends have been very supportive.
Whilst she has fans online, some have resorted to leaving unpleasant comments on her page.
On a video shared last Wednesday (26 Mar), Sabi received a comment which read: “Please kill yourself.”
In her interview with local press, she revealed that she often receives messages like this daily.
Sabi says that she receives death threats or calls to commit suicide every day, as reported by Need To Know.
“I have come to the conclusion that it is about people seeing something that they cannot relate to,” she told the local press.
“If they cannot, then something is wrong, and when something is wrong, they have to tell that person that they do not like it.
“Then people want to put others down so that they can feel better themselves.
“I am not doing this so that you will like me.
“This is my interest, and this makes me happy.
“I hope others find their interest and make themselves happy instead of looking at the internet and writing to others that they should die.”
Sabi has said that she feels that she has always been a ‘target’ to others, and that in school she was bullied for her interest in Pokémon.
She hopes that she can be a role model to others who are teased for their personal passions.
Her interest in the furry world was sparked by her love for fashion.
In her daily life, she works as a model and has recently worked with the fashion brand, Weekday.
Sabi started to feel that the fashion world was too ‘narrow and boring’, and that the furry world was more fun and playful when it came to outfits.
Local press have reported that the outfits worn by furry’s cost around £15,000 as they are often custom made.
She has highlighted that she doesn’t identify with a desert fox, and that she just thinks they are cute and likes to dress up as one.
Sabi finds people are often prejudiced and assume that furries go to work or school in their costumes.
She also finds people think that they walk on all fours, eat animal food and relieve themselves in litter boxes.
None of this, however, is true, according to Sabi, who is from Stockholm, Sweden.
Comments on some of her recent posts have shown some of what Sabi has to go through each day.
She is determined not to let hate stop her from being who she wants to be.
Adrian said: “So f*cking scary.”
Another person added: “Why dress up?”
“Please kill yourself,” said a third viewer.
A fourth person said: “Can we normalise that this is a psychiatric illness?”
“Bring back bullying,” added another viewer.
