1. Someone with an interest in anthropomorphic animals.
2. An anthro or a human/ultra humanoid animal character. (Popular examples being Loona from HelluvaBoss, Lola Bunny, Beastars characters, etc.)
The furry fandom is a subculture focused around cartoon animals, anthropomorphic animals, and human-animal hybrids, commonly expressed through art, costumes, cosplay, roleplay, media, etc.
It’s a common misconception that being a furry is a sexual thing, but there does exist a large sexual part of the community. Yiff or furry porn is a popular porn category produced by the furry fandom, generally it’s harmless and completely unrelated to zoophilia as it focuses on furries/anthros.
Ignorant Individual: “Furries are zoophiles! They’re getting off to something that’s animal-based!”
Furry: “Not all furries are sexual, but even so, zoophilia refers to actual, non-human animals. By definition you’re wrong. And humans are based on apes? There’s nothing immoral or zoophilic about yiff.”
There is no one single definition of what a furry is. Even within the furry fandom, people cannot always agree on just what makes a person a furry or not.
Some would argue that to be a furry, you must think and talk like one (i.e. use furry specific words and phrases). Even if you go to conventions, wear a fursuit, draw the art, writes the stories etc but don't talk using furry lingo, you're not a furry. Basically, someone that may walk the walk but doesn’t talk the talk.
Others would argue that even liking anthropomorphic creatures makes you a furry. You may have no idea the furry fandom exists or have ever heard of a furry convention, let alone any of the websites; simply liking 'anthro' critters makes you a furry.
The way I see it, if or if you don’t consider yourself a furry is a matter of personal opinion.
As with any hobby, most furries are normal people just like anyone you'll meet at work/school or going to/from work/school or anywhere. Then there is the small percent that are hard core fans and have taken what for most is a hobby and perverted it (sometimes in an all to literal sense).
As is with so many other things in life, the few that take it too far tend to be the loudest. The silent majority are often forced into silence by the loud majority for fear that people will label them as being in the same class as the minority that have perverted it.
One unfortunate side effect of the internet and the relative anonymity that some sites grant their users is people are able to engage in activities (even if only on a virtual level) that they would never even consider doing in real life. An example of this is trolls of message boards that say things to people they’d never say to them in person. I think a lot of the stereotypes associated with furries are because of this.
In conclusion, as with any hobby, there are some furries that have taken it too far and/or perverted what for many is a fun harmless hobby.
Strange people who thing they’re animals. They act and dress up like them, then come up with annoying names for each other. I really don’t understand the point.
Furrys: hi I think I’m an animal, my name is bob.
Me: wow is this what the human society has come to? Furry: *runs away acting like that animal.*
Furrys are a bunch of fucking idiots that can die in blue fire not only do they act like animals and dress up as them their also fucking gay so if you see one kill it or run
“Hey Jimmy Savile you like kids don’t you?”
“Yes my G ,Garry glitter . I in fact do like kids”
“If you put on an animal costume you would be the definition of a furry”
“I would wouldn’t I because me and furrys have lots in common , like we both like kids and we’re both hated by society and just like furrys I should kill my self even though I’m less of a twat than any furry in existence
Especially that majira cunt little wanker he’s a right nonce”
The furry devils that rule the world. They say that they will sacrifice your life and never let you go. Some say they use the "suck suck" to destroy their enemies. Do not let their cuteness fool you, They will kill you and hunt your family. If you see these fools call the FBI. The FBI do not answer so your screwed.
