Absolutely Everything About Furries*


A Black Circle

*Note: Not actually everything. Yet.

 

I just decided to make this becasue I was bored. HERE WE GO.

 

What is a furry?

 

A furry is defined as a person who likes anthropormorphic animals. Anthropormorphic (anthro shorthand) is a stupidly long word which means that said animals have human characteristics, commonly defined as walking on two legs. While this is the common definition, and is what most people seem to define by, this is not the only way to be anthro. (Almost) Everyone has their own fursona, which is just a depiction of themself in anthro style.

 

What do you do?

 

I'm not even really sure. Converse, I guess. Unlike MLP, there's not always a direct common interest at hand. Of course, you might have any number of people who like Housepets, for example, but that isn't everyone. It's a really large range of things that fall under the categorization of anthro, but this can be beneficial. And rarely kind of a pain in the ass. Art and other media is also a large section of the fandom. Mostly art (any trips to DeviantArt and you'll see what I mean), but webcomics seem to also be common, considering it's just art with words. Conventions and meetups are also pretty common, where you just talk about things within the community, or have lunch at some fancy organic place in downtown Portland. It really depends. No matter where you are in the U.S. (and maybe the world), there will always be something relatively nearby. Furlandia is Oregon's major convention... and I can't go. :(

 

Why?

 

I honestly don't know. All I'm aware of is that I'm happier for it, and it just leaves you with a warm feeling inside, and a sense of friendship.

 

So, that's it for now. Any future questions will be answered to the best of my ability.

Furries in general love animals, and nature... Maybe dressing like a furry is satisfying some internal need to be closer to nature?

My personal experience with furries has generally been with using the fandom for an art hobby, rather than fully immersing in the subculture. Anthropomorphic animals have really been a favorite subject of my artwork. They offer a sort of nostalgia and extension of relatable human characteristics (the way I draw them, at least) that few other subjects can. It just shows that everyone's experience is different and there are many ways to enjoy furry fandom.
