KnowYourMeme.com defines furries as follows: Furries refer to members of the Furry Fandom subculture, which is made up of individuals with an interest in anthropomorphic animal characters. These characters generally have human personalities and characteristics and are regularly translated into cosplay and fanart illustrations. The word furry has several meanings, dependent on the context in which it is used. Predominantly, it means "consisting of or resembling fur." Furries are also used to refer to the community of people interested in anthropomorphic animals and creatures who gather on the internet and at furry conventions. Here is a picture of furries from the KnowYourMeme article: What are your thoughts on furries? |

They're odd, as long as they don't do some crazy/weird stuff in my sight I am fine with them x) and I would rather avoid meeting them as it is quite weird but well there are more crazier stuff irl and in internet afterall |

As long as you're not hurting anybody I don't give a shit how you live your life. That being said I've literally never talked to a furry who wasn't severely mentally ill and there are few things more cringe than being a furry so if I had a kid exhibiting even the slightest signs of drifting towards that sort of thing I would immediately tried to subtly steer them away from it like instead of buying them sonic the hedgehog games buying them mario games lol |

Everyone thinks I am one, but since I'm not, I'll say that I think they're a bit weird but don't really occupy myself with thinking about them. |

I don't think much of anything about them. I'm not too into most furry art but some I like the style of. Most looks really unrefined stylistically. Fur suiters aren't very common among furries. I see them as probably mainly anxious and autistic people just looking for a way to hide behind a mask and create a barrier between them and the world around them. Similar to zentai in Japan. I personally dont get it much though since most fur suits just look creepy (maybe it's the big unblinking eyes) or tacky to me. It's extremely rare to see one that actually looks good to me. I do think it shows a certain skill when they make it themselves like cosplay prop makers have though often different skillsets a bit. No idea how such niche fetishes got lumped into it like diapers and vore but again I think I can chalk this up to actual autism. Unusual sexual interests is an actual symptom. I don't care what fetishes or kinks someone has if they keep it to private enough so I don't have to hear about it if I'm not interested. There isn't really anything particularly unique about them. I think the hate toward them is stupidly obsessive and actually more annoying than furries could be because how more present it is it's just so disproportional |

Weird but that doesn't really matter to me. So long as they keep the sexual fetishes part to themselves and don't fuck with actual animals then they're alright. |

Not my thing. I even get angry when I see images of catgirls, which are for some reason not considered furry, and so people always flood regular boards/channels with them. Like, what is even going through the artist's mind? Why would you go out of your way to draw her cat ears and a tail? It is such a waste, especially when it is a good drawing otherwise. Like imagine Leonardo painting Mona Lisa for years, but then decides, "you know what? Let's give her some mammoth tusks for no reason" Good thing people had a common sense back then. |

The suits come off a bit creepy to me, I think it’s the big eyes and exaggerated features. I don’t know anything about the subculture so I can’t really say I’m for or against it. |

I have no real problem with it. I understand that for a lot of them, there's nothing sexual to it, they just enjoy wearing their fur suits. And for the ones that do have some sort of sexual attraction going on, it's towards fictional anthropomorphic characters exclusively. Most aren't doing actual fucked up shit with real animals. Personally, I think the more humanoid a character is, the less weird it is to be into it,but I'm not here to pass judgment. Fuck, I'll admit to finding some of the more humanoid ones attractive. |

ITT: people not realising that most furries don't wear fursuits anyways the furry fandom and the weeb fandom share so many similarities (mainly the fact that they are both groups with a ton of socially awkward outcasts and the fact that a lot of them have weird sexual interests) that i don't understand how you can be a w*eb and hate on f*rries lol it's like that one meme with the two spidermans pointing at each other |

I don't like them, and one thing thats so sad about furries is they make the furry thing literally every part of their personality. When there is a furry on MAL or Twitter, or any forum really, their avatar will be their fursona, their profile pics/banner/signature will be furries, their name will probably be related to fursona shit, etc, and on Twitter nearly ALL the tweets will be furry-related. I have NEVER EVER seen someone casually mention they are a furry in their profile or a random post - being a furry is almost always every part of their online presence* and lmao.. you will know immediately. On top of that, so many furries make the sexual side of (ugh I cant believe I'm gonna type this) "fur fandom" most of their posts and personality! So it's always tied to perversion, even though they constantly deny this. The actual presentation says otherwise over and over again. And the art... wtf its the same shit and style over and over! No imagination. You can "do you" all you want, but - like the person who puts their political party all over their car, clothes, social media, house, conversation, etc- when you make it your whole persona it passes a point into lame and sad because your "pride" doesn't come across authentic anymore but instead it's try hard af. Chill and be the real you. There's gotta be more to every furry than "boring coomer with no imagination", and like I said you are allowed to "do you" but I'm also allowed to be fucking disgusted lol. Especially if you're screaming with every fiber of your online presence that you are a boring coomer. NO MERCY * Sadly, more and more these days we see people make their perversions their entire personality and online presence as well lol. Just like with furries, it goes past the point of "I like this, I'm proud of it, I wanna share it" to being try-hard + sad + annoying. |

Eh I find them a little gross, imagine how warm and sweaty it must get under the suit. But as long as they don't hurt real animals I don't really mind them. I just don't want them around my kids or else they will get traumatized. |

I don't hate them but I don't get the reasoning behind it much. I understand it would be cool to cosplay as your own original character but literally all furry costumes look the same apart from color schemes so the creativity is void. Zoophilia is also incredibly prevalent within the furry scene so I'd rather stay away. In short if you tell me you're a furry I might wince a little but after that I don't care. If you start talking about yiffing and fursuits I won't like you. |

I do find it weird but I have no issues with them. (What I find weird is that they like to resemble actual animals and sexualize them. No wonder zoophilia tends to be common around furries.) But again I do not have an issue with them. Most of them just dress up as animals. |

RobertBobert said: Something between skepticism and neutral. It's definitely not my shit (although I love movies like Zootopia, yes), but I don't understand why Americans hate them so vehemently. There was one incident someone made chlorine gas at a furry convention and some people were hospitalized. There is literally anti furry terrorists technically now. _Nette_ said: I'm technically a furry. I just want my ex to make my cute moth fursuit. That's all I want in life lol. Better be a rosy maple moth or a Venezuelan poodle moth at least. 149597871 said: Not my thing.

Like imagine Leonardo painting Mona Lisa for years, but then decides, "you know what? Let's give her some mammoth tusks for no reason" Good thing people had a common sense back then. Because there is a difference between personified or anthropomorphized animals and humans or humanoids with a small number of animal features that don't make them look less human to the human mind since facial features is most important to identification of individuals. Human animal hybrids and otherwise humanoids with animal parts or with adorned animal symbols (horns for example) have been part of human history for centuries in mythology and folklore. Also for the record the Mona Lisa is only became famous as it is because news coverage of when it was stolen from a museum. The museum heist was a big story at the time and if it werent for the Last Supper giving him that Christian boost he would have been a sidenote in the art world. Not that he lacks talent but he s not very uniquely talented in painting. He even had apprentice helpers work on some of his paintings. His uniqueness lies in his engineering skills rather than art. So adding something out of place like that actually could have gotten more fame in the art world for being ahead of his time because keep in mind many greats were controversial or even unknown in their lifetime. |

So, anyone who has an interest Looney Tunes or Mickey Mouse is a furry? Or is it one of those annoying labels for lesser minds whose membership is defined purely by claimed membership? I find it hard to imagine there are many people who do not have some interest in anthropomorphic nonhuman animal characters; they are after all very common, especially in children's fiction. |
