A Furry is a person that shows interest in anthropomorphic animals, whether it be through art, cosplay, or roleplay. It is virtually impossible to explain the Furry Fandom any more than that.
1. "Have you heard that () is a Furry?"
2. "I want to become a Furry"
A furry is a form of *cosplayer, it’s just a hobby where someone dresses up as a character with animal traits/features/characteristics, where someone draws* ‘anthromorphic’ characters or uses them as an avatar online. There is a small percentage of the fandom that have a ‘fur-fetish’ but most of the fandom steer clear of that stuff and usually have a not so great opinion about it, there isn’t really a set rule of how to be a furry, you can use a full fursuit, a partial, a dinomask, a therian mask, or quite literally anything! Being a furry is just a choice people make, and it’s not an identity (such as gender/sexuality) and it’s basically just a *form of ‘dress up’, most of the fandom is actually really cool! And most people get into the hobby just because they like the fandom, creativity (art/making a suit/character/etc.), or even just because they like animals (not in a sexual way) or feel a connection to them, and although there is many misconceptions, such as furries being a fetish, or having sex with animals, *overall furries are actually just cosplayers with animal traits! :)
I’ll add some names of different fursuit examples!
(Fursuit, Partial, Dinomask, Therian, Protogen)
*Also Therians arent typically furries, but some like to call themselves one!
“I am a furry and I like to dress up in a fursuit for fun!”
“I like being a furry artist, there’s so many creative characters out there!”
“Oh yeah, they’re a furry”
“Being a furry is a choice, not an identity.”
“Being a furry is just a hobby, a form of cosplay!”
P1:Look that person is a furry
P2:oh another mentally ill person
A mentally deranged individual
