What the dukar is a furrie?

A furry is a person who likes to characterize themselves as an anthropomorphic animal, usually by way of drawing, or wearing a fursuit.
Some of them also like to draw dirty pictures of these things.

Sunbun had an anti-furry sig once upon a time shouting "FURRIES ARE EVIL!". I also know MaxVance hates furries, as well.

Someday I will find a flamethrower. From that day forward, the furries shall be brought to justice.

Still don't get the hate, though.

Really, I believe they're just people. I don't find anything wrong with them, and who am I to judge?

What the heck are furries?

EDIT: Oops, I just noticed Vid explaining them to us.

Yeah... there are varying "degrees" of furries out there. The best ones are the ones who just like furry-themed art and literature... and nothing else. No "fursonas", no "fursuits", and definitely no "yiff".

There's no reason to discriminate because of fetishes--some people just are the way they are, and it's not up to us to judge them.

Unless that fetish includes small children and 50 year old men.

Oh, yes, forgot about that one... *winces and snaps fingers* ...Obviously, I mean, like, non-violent/invasive stuff. Thus, I have no problem if you have a shoe/glasses/spitting fetish, but stuff like crush fetishes (don't Google that)... Wait, why the **** are we talking about fetishes, again?

The Chef · « **Reply #99 on:** December 22, 2007, 10:03:57 PM »

Because furries of the worst "degree" happen to carry a fetish that most people (myself included) think is screwed up. Bear in mind that not all furries are like that, but the ones who are aren't the same ones I'd pal around with.

Just when I thought I had wiped the very idea of furry fetishes from my head, this comes along. Egh. Seriously, that's just a hair above erotic Sonic fan fiction and posing as teen pop idols on MySpace on the creepiness scale.

Even then, I don't think the "dirty" ones are bad, either. They're different, yes, but, again, why judge them? They could be awesome people with likes similar to non-furries. I know a lot of the furries I made friends with at another forum love Nintendo, and have similar music tastes as me.

I just have to wonder what possesses one to want to be a furry. I mean, having a "fursona" is no different from an author character or what-have-you, but the fetish part is one step behind bestiality if you ask me.

If you said that in front of most furries (and I've seen it happen at another forum), they would tell you they find bestiality disgusting and would be quite offended at the statement. A friend of mine there said it's adding animal features to humans, not the other way around. A lot of them realize they're not animals and just like drawing themselves as things that'd be impossible in real life. "It's all about the fantasy."

I don't think people drawing themselves as anthropomorphic animals is much different from drawing themselves in a manga/anime style, despite the fact that they're still 100% human in one style.

This is probably the last thing I'll ask about the matter:

If you guys (well, most of you) accept me for who I am, why not the furries? They could be considered as having a small fetish, I have an attraction to the same sex, something much bigger in comparison, in my opinion.

....*shrug*

At least there have been plausible explanations for being gay. I haven't exactly seen one for yiff other than than catagorizing it with other odd fetishes. People question the inexplicable. Also, I don't see how the fetish can be that "small" if it covers a wider spectrum than something like a foot fetish or a hand fetish (which I'll admit that I happen to have, though not really extreme. I just prefer women with nice hands, unlike most guys I've seen).
