A term used to refer to anthropomorphic animals and to people who are fans of same. Some Furries are merely keen on Disney, the Rats of NIMH, or Usagi Yojimbo; at the other end of the spectrum lie the Otherkin, people who genuinely believe that they are animals or dragons trapped inside human bodies. Another type of furry is the erotic furry, a specific sexual fetish for anthropomorphic animals. Erotic furries are fond of cybersex, which they refer to as 'yiffing', supposedly for the sound a fox makes while copulating. There are fewer erotic furries in the furry community than the average fa/tg/uy believes, but by the same token there are more of them than the average furry will admit to.
Some furries make and wear fursuits in an attempt to resemble their avatars in real life; such efforts nearly always fail miserably and make the participants look ridiculous. Antipathy toward furries on /tg/ already runs high, and is rooted partly in cultural conservatism but principally in a profound weariness with thin-skinned furries complaining of persecution. If you are a furry and feel the need to talk about it, the best way to survive on /tg/ is to admit from the outset that you are a sick bastard and that you don't expect anyone to praise you for it. (See fig. a.) Furry threads make for very effective trolls, espeically if erotic furry art is involved. Past threads on the subject have indicated that a significant percentage of the /tg/ population may be closet furries.
Furries have their own RPGs, most notably Ironclaw and its asian companion book Jadeclaw; Furry Pirates, and Albedo.
Things That are Not Furry
Distaste for furries often backfires on /tg/, when overly zealous anons cannot find any furries to abuse and turn their attention to people involved in innocuous practices. In particular, you should check yourself if you find you are calling someone a furry for any of the following:
- Playing Bunnies & Burrows (without masturbating.)
- Discussing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness.
- Watching Disney movies, or other movies with anthropomorphic characters.
- Playing gnolls, minotaurs, orcs or in some extreme cases, elves.
