So I was thinking earlier: If I find myself attracted to a small handful of drawn non-human characters, does that make me a furry or not? I saw somewhere online earlier an argument was given that the simple reason that a guy, even if he had no zoophile or furry desires, would find these cartoon animal females attractive was based on the fact that they still carry a minimum amount of traits in human females that would trigger the desire function in your brain. Which then makes me wonder then, what makes that different than the furry subculture?

Yes

You are not a f*rry unless you have a fursona

Liking a furry character is quite different than being part of the furry subculture. If you don't wear a fursuit, dream about your fursona, or spend all your time online role-playing as a furry character, you're probably not a member of the furry subculture, you just have a minor fetish.

Because curries are more attracted to the animal qualities than the human ones.

When you want to wear a fursuit and go to conventions, or you get a fursona, or you feel you have "the soul of an animal in a human body", then you're a furry.

>curries

So THAT'S why all those Hindu gods are half animal!

Well, yeah. We seldom make curry with human meat.

>furries

I'd say no.

Everybody is attracted to at least some anthro cartoon characters.

If you're going to expand the definition of "furry" to include that, than the term means nothing.

Nigga characters like that are literally designed to be attractive and appealing, you're only a furry if you call yourself one

You're a furfag user. Don't listen to these other furfags, they're just saying you aren't because Sup Forums is full of them. You are a furfag and that's that.

You are not a furry. Just like I'm not a lesbian because I watch lesbian porn.

To be a furry you'd need paraphernalia of furry culture like plushies, sex toys, or your ex's skeleton.

>or your ex's skeleton

Oh fuck, the cringe threads showed me that, cannot unsee

If you're attracted to characters BECAUSE of their anthropomorphic qualities you're a furry

If you're attracted to characters DESPITE their anthropomorphic qualities you're not a furry

Shit thread is shit.

Shit thread needs more pictures of Gadget.

I made this a couple of days ago

...

This is actually a good explanation

nothing makes you anything. those are just words. labels. imaginary concepts. thinking you 'are' or 'aren't' a furry is about as valid as identifying yourself as some crazy sexual or identity thing.

>ex's skeleton
No please I'm trying to forget!

...

This pretty much.

>Scolipede donut

Wow, this post is a winner.

Not really.

>curries

What if I'm attracted to a character because of her human features but find that appeal enhanced by her animal features?

Then you're a patrician.

Probably not furry, but it might make you Russian.

Pretty good answer.

Being attracted to Gadget is 100% normal!

Oh wow. She's hotter as a human...

Am I reverse!furry now?
