Serious question : What does being a "furry" mean to it's full extent?

Serious question : What does being a "furry" mean to it's full extent?
I feel like there isn't a definitive answer and that's why people are usually so open about it, but I really want people to spell it out for me. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but are you all a bunch of dog fuckers?
Usually I would jump to conclusions and say "faggot dog fuckers, no doubt", but there are so many of you - it kind of makes me want to exterminate the planet if that were the case.

For some people it's a way to hide their homosexuality. Others, it's the next best thing from bestiality. Most have originated from the MLP fandom after they realized they would love to fuck cartoon ponies. Bringing us to the last part of the furry fandom, people who jerk it to 2d cartoon pictures of animals that almost resemble the human anatomy, but not quite. (another way to hide homosexuality, but not always the case with this one)

There is noonesingledefinition of what a furry is. Even within the furry fandom,peoplecannot always agree on just what makes a person a furry or not.

Some would argue that to be a furry, you must think and talk like one (i.e. use furry specificwordsand phrases). Even if you go to conventions, wear a fursuit, draw the art, writes the stories etc butdon'ttalk using furry lingo, you're not a furry.

Others would argue that even liking anthro stuff makes you a furry. You may have no idea the fandom exists or have ever heard of a convention, let alone any of the websites; simply liking 'anthro' critters makes you a furry.

The way I see it, if or if youdon’t consider yourself a furry is a matter of personal opinion.

As with any hobby, mostfurriesare normal people just like anyone you'll meet atwork/school or anywhere. Then there is the small percent that arehard corefans and have taken what for most is a hobby and perverted it (sometimes in an all to literal sense).

As is with so many other things in life, the few that take it too far tend to be the loudest. The silent majority are often forced into silence by the loud majority for fear that peoplewilllabel them as being in the same class as the minority that have perverted it.

Oneunfortunate side effect ofthe internetand the relative anonymity that some sitesgranttheir users is people are able to engage in activities (even if only on a virtual level) that they would never even consider doing in real life. An example of this istrollsof message boards that say things to people they’d never say to them in person. I think a lot of thestereotypesassociated with furries are because of this.

In conclusion, as with any hobby, there are some furries that have taken it too far and/or perverted what for many is afunharmless hobby.

If onlythe silent majority were not so silent,peoplewould realise there is more tofurriesthen perversion.

Bro its just people who like to fuck in costumes.

Its basically cosplay.

On this board you have people wanking over incest and scat and you care about people wearing a costume and fucking?

I guess im a furry, dont have a.fursonia or any of that but.if a girl wears cat eats and a tail plug it will make me hard.

Just cosplay fam, its cool to hate on furries but its just cosplay

>Most have originated from the MLP fandom
bullshit.
Even furries hate bronies.

okay, that's how I wanted to see it, thanks.
Oh, I also like the cat ears and tail buttplugs. I think that's the lightest side of the furry fandom IMO.

I'm guessing girl furries are rare because all I ever see are dude furries fucking.

Be it art or real life.

As a furry I concider it more of an identity thing. Also you get to socialize with some great like-minded people and have a jolly good time.

And yeah, the suit fucking is pretty hot too, in both meanings of the word.

People who like cartoon animals.

This one basically got it
People are confounding furry with yiffer/yiff

>Even furries hate bronies.
Isn't it almost the same thing? Furry just sounds like a more mature version of brony.

>People are confounding furry with yiffer/yiff
can you explain yiff?

There is actually a big difference. there are some furries who are bronies aswell, but most of furfags do hate MLP and all the stuff related to it.

You go on Sup Forums - look at all this s/fur posts you dumb faggot

at its core -
a fascination with art involving anthropomorphic animal creatures, often characteristically representative of the qualities of the viewer - submissive rabbit-people, horny fox-people, dominating wolves, hairy bears.
that art can be drawn, porn or not, costumes, etc...
sometimes they fuck in the costumes.

so, they're people who fap to furry characters.
not usually people who fap to pictures of literal dogs, or even drawn dogs.
but, like half of Sup Forums would fap to beast hentai, but not fuck dogs,
a portion of people who identify with the furry fandom fap to beast yiff, but not fuck dogs.

though, i'm sure some people who have fucked or been fucked by dogs, would call themselves furries.
you can't really say that furries are inherently dog fuckers though.

thanks, but I'm not a degenerate. Sounds more up your isle.

They are sick, worthless fucks

You and other furrs are infantilizing sex. That is what triggers most people.

Y'all act like cringy retarded children when you got your fursuits on, even more when you fuck.

Furries are.only one step above adult baby fetishists, and I want nothing to do with y'all until you can grow up and stop acting like oversexualized children. Until then, fuck off furrfags

Don't you think the faggot in this picture would at least spar his old timers this weird shit instead of putting in their faces likes complete fuckwad?

Instead of acting like a normal grandson for these old folks he walks around with his costume on like an asshole.

Even if I were a furry, I'd prolly only operate within the furry community and live a normal day to day life.

To some i think its a mental disorder. Like being transgender. Instead of only dressing like a faggot doggo at appropriate times, this faggot actually believes its a cartoon fagdog

Basically it's how, at least the furries I know, call the hardcore furries that sexuallizes anthro animals.
Because basically even some furries hate that they are seen with the same eyes as them because of same term

Serious answer: It's a fandom like every other fandom. Furries share their interest in anthropomorphic characters. Some guys are weird [insert animal here] fuckers, but the majority is not. I've seen many gay men in the fandom, but also transgender and straight guys and even girls. You mostly can't say a person is a furry without knowing it or asking him/her, they can be normal like the most people.

btw. I'm a furry.

>and even girls

When you describe an activity like that then you know it is sad.

Sup Forums also fits that description, so im right there with ya
