Are bronies furries by default?

The new pony Dishwater Slog is an example of how disgusting ponies are, and I wouldn't want to become a furry for that!

That is actually wrong. That stereotype is a small section of the furry fandom. Most of the furry fandom are genuinely nice people and use their fursuits for good. Don't let those Rainfurrest (don't ask) stereotypes fool you.

As for the question at hand, bronies are NOT defacto furries. Just because they are anthropomorphic talking horses does not make bronies furry. Just like furries are not bronies. It's a matter of choice here.

I say yes. I feel that the concept of a furry is a spectrum, and the lowest end of it is finding drawings of personified animals cute. This is where bronies typically fall under; My Little Pony is a cute show to us.

This is a pretty silly question because "furry" is used to mean so many wildly different things, and under any specific meaning the answer is trivial.

If you mean "furry" in any remotely sexual way, then obviously the answer is no, because "brony" just means someone who enjoys the show.

If you mean "furry" in the insanely broad sense of enjoying any fiction with anthropomorphic animals, then sure bronies are automatically furries, but then so is pretty much everyone who ever saw Bambi. By that definition, the term is pretty meaningless.

If you mean "furry" as in someone involved in one of the internet communities that tend to focus on anthropomorphic animal art and/or fiction (which is what I usually assume the term should mean), then again obviously no, because being involved means doing more than just liking a thing and moving on to some other thing (which is totally fine of course).
