People who are interested in anthropomorphic animals (fictional or real).
There isn't anything wrong with this. They aren't faggots. The majority of furries are either gay, pansexual, or bisexual, but a lot are also straight. They are nice people who are just like normal people. In fact, they are normal themselves, but some people reject them in society. They perceive them wrongly. This word is used to describe a person who is in the fandom, with or without a furry suit. They may also enjoy porn that is induced in or consisting of anthropomorphized animals.
Last weekend, comanche and I went to Furry Weekend Atlanta, one of the many conventions for furries.

The term "furry" means any anthropomorphized animal. They are also known as "funny animals," but this is an outdated term. Since a furry is an anthropomorphic version of an animal, we can determine what a furry character is by carefully defining our usage of "anthropomorphic".
By definition an object is "anthropomorphic" if it has been given human attributes; these usually include the capacity for rational thought, emotions, and an upright posture. An anthropomorphic animal, therefore is a hybrid that is somewhere between a human and the original species.
Examples of furries abound, and these can surely cement the concept for any readers that stopped to re-read the above paragraphs. Most cartoon characters are furries (e.g. Donald Duck, Wile E. Coyote, Pink Panther, Quickdraw McGraw, etc.). Many cartoon characters are quite removed from the actual animals; their charicatured forms still retain many animalistic traits, however, and this identifies them as furries.
Many comic book characters (e.g. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Omaha the Cat Dancer, Usagi Yojimbo), movie characters (e.g. the Rippers in "Tank Girl", Barf in "Space Balls"), and mascots (e.g. the San Diego Chicken and Smokey the Bear) are also, at a basic level, anthropomorphized animals.
Finally, furries are also commonly found in artwork, literature, and mythology (I won't bother to list examples here; I think you've got the idea by now). These are diverse categories, and this is one reason that it is hard to develop a comprehensive notion of what constitutes a "furry".

People who make the human race look like shit. They say theyβre βnormalβ while walking around in suits and grooming kids.
Jim: You see that furry?
Me: Donβt worry about it Jim, itβs just someone whoβs given up on life. They also want to be normalized, which makes me giggle a little.

Furry is a rather diverse sub-culture. The stereotypical view of Furry is that it is "a bunch of people having it in costumes". As with most stereotypical views, this is an incorrect view of Furry.
Furry is a sub-culture in which the "members" have some connection with anthropomorphics. This can be in many ways, as roleplaying,anthro art, fur-suiting, feeling they have the spirit or soul of an animal etc. Furries vary, they are male and female, come from all continents, all age groups etc.
Back to the stereotype. As I said, this is an incorrect view of Furry. Though this is not something all Furries take part in there are a small proportion who do so. Anything to do with sex in Furry is called yiff. In the '90s there was a sudden uprise of yiff art on the internet. Most of this has gone now, but this image of Furry remains.
He was well known for being a Furry, as he wore a tail around everywhere.

A furry is any sort of half-animal/half-human creatures, usually bipedal. Most commonly appearing in the form of "talking animals" or "animal-headed people." Many are familiar cartoon characters, such as Bugs Bunny or Mickey Mouse.
A furry is also sometimes used as shorthand to mean a furry fan, i.e., anyone who likes anthropomorphic animals. There is a small but growing fandom for people who like furries.
A furry hater is someone who is willfully ignorant about furries and goes around making stuff up about them on UrbanDictionary.
The common response from people when you ask "Have you ever heard of furry fandom?" is "No." That doesn't mean they're furry haters, they've just never heard of furry fandom.
Furry fandom is pretty awesome.

A hobby/genre which focuses on artwork and stories about animal-headed people. Unfortunately, the brainless boglumps from anti-furry websites just don't "get" furry fandom and clutter up UrbanDictionary with flimsy crapulence because they're incapable of creating anything of their own.
Let's break it down so there can be no confusion: You don't have to think you're an animal to be a furry fan. You don't have to rave about your inner platypus to be a furry fan. You don't have to insert the word "fur" into every sentence to be a furry fan. You don't have to wear a fursuit to be a furry fan. You don't have to like furry porn to be a furry fan.
Most furries are just folks who thought "The Lion King" or "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" or even Sonic the Hedgehog was majorly cool. They write about and draw cartoon animals. I have no idea why this makes some people go apeshit, but there ya go.
Furry fandom makes the brainless boglumps from CrushYiffDestroy waste their lives away and that's just sad.
