Furrys

No ceramic comissions , I don't have any time right now sorry D:

Help me understand something. I have heard so many different things on furries. But what confuses me is when people call you a furry based on their own reasoning. Stuff like, "oh you look at anthro art, that therefore means you are a furry." Or something like, "Oh you look at furry porn," or "oh you like furry stuff, that makes you a furry."

Is there some rule in particular that makes you a furry? Cuz if looking at furry stuff makes you a furry, that's really stupid, and since its all over the internet, based on a technicality everyone on the internet would be classified as a furry. Like what make you a furry?

I've heard the definition of a furry is someone who highly identifies with a particular animal. Does it mean your a furry if you draw yourself with a tail and ears? Or if you you like certain animals? Cuz if thats the case the majority of fangirls on DA that draw themselves like that would be furries lol. The whole resoning process confuses me.
I mean take for example if you break the law. If you break the law, its laid down for you in a fairly easy manner. It's basic stuff, but for furries, it doesn't seem too specific. Like its very broad. I dunno I'm confused lol.

I never understood the furry thing either. I must know the answer too!

I used to draw anthros all the time, but I really had no idea about this whole furry subculture til much later.

i always thought of furry as a fetish, ie with a sexual connotation.
i would imagine drawing anthros would not, in itself makes you a 'furry' but you are providing those furrys that a lurking around deviantart with material to, satisfy themselves to, put it bluntly.
MTV did a true life im a furry show.
i dunno if its on youtube. might be worth a look.

If you can't handle the critiquing commentary or critical things I have to say, then maybe you shouldn't even be on the Internet!

~~
I would love to hear an explanation for why you're being so ridiculous.
:icontemarinyo:
i think some furries get a bad name thanks to the majority of things that are weird that we see on the internet. (Some of my best friends are furries and they turned out pretty okay, but that's not the majority of the population haha ^^;)but its just so confusing! XD

I've just heard so many reasons as to how a person can be a furry by a certain classification, its ridiculous, because all the reasons I've heard quite honestly sound stupid and illogical lol.

Yes, we need the answers :D
I was always under the impression that furries and anthros were the same thing. I see that I am wrong now, ...I think.

i heard the definition was someone who dresses as an animal because they truly believe they are that animal born into the wrong body. but i don't know. I would define a furry as anyone who regularly cosplays an animal
