Firstly, there are furries and there are Furries. The former term is simply anyone who is fascinated by anthropomorphic animals in media. May watch many Disney movies or read Redwall or similar novel series often. While they are strange, they can usually still function normally in regular life, as it doesn't take more than the role of a hobby or an interest. Then, there are the Furries. There is no way to completely describe them all. However, it is safe to say that they are an extreme version of Furries. Their interest in anthropomorphic animals is an obsession; and, as with any other obsession, hurts their social skills with normal people (who, by the way, they call "mundanes," implying that they are somehow more interesting than a sane person.) They may believe that they are part animal, an animal in a human's body, or were previously an animal (note however, they were always something "cute" or "magestic." They are never voles or rats. This may stem from a negative self image.) They also produce some of the most disturbing pornography on the internet, "furry porn," where the animals "yiff" (euphemism for sex). However, since there is no real-life "yiffing," all of this porn is usually in hentai format (i.e.-drawn). Many Furries fantasize about anthropomorphic animals from many children's movies. However, they are also extremely vocal about their perversions, which sets them up as easy targets. What makes it even easier is the fact that it is as easy to hurt their feelings as an emo kid's. Because it is easy to make fun of a furry, something awful "goons" and portal of evil forum members (admittedly neither forum can brag of having particularly intelligent or unintelligent posters) have a field day whenever a furry wanders into a chatroom wherever said members are chatting.
Furry: "Who wants to see half-Lion and half-Bunny yiff? If you do, come to my site. No furry haters please!"
Me: "I don't think posting on something awful is a very good way for a furry to avoid ridicule."

Furry
Furries are a large portion of people who like to represent themselves as anthropomorphic animals.
They might seem bad, but are actually the nicest people you will ever meet.
Not all of them are cringey and bad, but rather super sweet and talkative.
The only bad side to the furry fandom is that some people like to go to the extreme, by even sexualizing/fetishizing themselves or other furries. Those people are the ones who give a bad name to the community. Sexualization of furries are actually pretty close to beastiality.
If you see people doing this, report them PLEASE. If you like those kind of things, keep it to yourself or a private chat with someone and don't share it to the internet.
Person 2:''Hey! Are you a furry? I've seen recent posts of you talking about it. Do you have a fursuit?''
Person 1: ''Yes, I am. I hope you don't mind me being one. I have a fursuit actually.''
Person 2: ''That's awesome. You don't seem so bad? I thought furries like beastiality.''
Person 1: ''No not at all. If you see some people doing that just report them. That's absolutely disgusting. We are super nice.''

NOTE: Majority of these definitions are NOT from actual furries, take it from a real one.
Unlike the pictures suggest, a furry is NOT BY ANY MEANS a person who dresses as an animal. Despite the fact that some furries do enjoy that, it is NOT the definition. A person who dresses as an animal, is a gigolo (pronounced ji-gill-oh).
A furry, on the other hand is a person who finds anthropomorphic animals (meaning they walk, talk, think, act, and have personalities like a human) appealing, often but not always sexually.
*Other misconceptions*
- not all furries like yiff, and the 2 CANNOT be considered the same, or even similar
- being a furry does NOT mean wanting to have sex with the characters, although some do, it is NOT a requirement
Examples of furry Characters:
-Minerva Mink
-Sheila Vixen
-Amy the Squirrel
Non-furry: "Why do you have pictures of Minerva Mink on your PC?"
Furry: "Oh... heheh, I'm kind of what you call a furry..."
Non-furry: "....I don't get it at all but whatever..."
Furyy: "Hey dude, furry pride for the win!"
