WikiFur wrote:The word furry has several meanings, dependent on the context in which it is used. Predominantly, it means "consisting of or resembling fur". It also pertains to an interest in anthropomorphic animals and/or mythological or imaginary creatures which possess human or superhuman capabilities. The plural form of furry in all its contexts is furs or furries; the subjects of furry interest are also known as furries.

Furries. Love them or hate them they are a part of our culture. You see them on our cereal boxes

You see them in cartoons

You see them in video games

Some pro-furries have gone so far to say that furries go far back as to ancient Egypt. That's debatable but you can't deny that a lot of mythology has furries in it. Now mind you not all mainstream furs were designed with furs in mind.

Furries are largely a community of artists.

WikiFur wrote:Some furs may be interested only in the creative aspects of the furry fandom. Furry content, both online and off, is easy to obtain, and available in vast amounts, and furs produce new works regularly. Furry artwork is also done by many nonfurries as well in targeting the fandom. Others may disassociate themselves from the fandom and refer to themselves as funny animal artists. Furries may also enjoy role-playing a particular furry character or fursona, sometimes writing about this character or recording their online interactions for posterity.



Last thing I'll touch on (mostly because I'm growing tired :lol: ) is sexuality among furs.

WikiFur wrote:To some furs, the sexual attraction to anthropomorphic animals is a part of what makes them furry. This is a topic of much controversy, as it has been the subject of early media attention (such as that from Wired Magazine and Vanity Fair), leading to its becoming a common conception of furry community at large. This has spawned a few groups in response (such as the Burned Furs) with a desire to discourage this angle, or create a clear distinction between these furries and the rest of the community.


I personally have no problem with sex and furs. It's when this spills over into non-furry areas. Is when I have a problem with it.
WikiFur wrote:In years past, the only value the mainstream media has seen in furry fandom has been over emphasis on the fetishists and lifestylers within the community. Many of those who were interviewed for such media portrayals claim they were deliberately misquoted. As a result, misunderstanding of the nature of the fandom has been widespread. However, this appears to be changing, as less sensational media sources are starting to take note of the community, which are more inclined to see interest in the fandom aspect.


Things like this have tainted views of furs. http://www.metro.co.uk/metrosexual/article.html?in_article_id=54924&in_page_id=8

It's a story about a little dog who falls in love with a little boy, they kiss, she gets neutered and that's all there is for now. Probably will get to sex somewhere along the line.

ROFL. That's not even as creepy as it gets. I stay away from that stuff.

You know it's not just furs that do messed up stuff. Might I point you in the direction of the pukefest known as 2 girls 1 cup.

Oh yeah, when that first came out, I thought to myself, "Meh, I'll just see what everyone else says about it first". When I did hear about it, I learned to STAY THE f*ck AWAY. To this day, I haven't watched it. No regrets.

Well, if there's a bunch of retards running around trying to get AIDS (these people are also known as "bug chasers"), you never know. But I certainly hope not.

The girls in the clip are cute, and they kiss sooo passionately.
