You might get some weird pleasure out of it but going around calling everyone furries isn't very cool
please quote the sentence where I called everyone furries, hmm? I believe I never did that, cupcake

maybe you just do it subconsciously, muffin
btw just sayin
I was talking out of experience, I was referring to a situation that happened before on this site about this subject...
when I say "people" I don't mean "everyone", just saying
There's nothing wrong with the thread if people are mature and respectful about it. Like with anything else, it's fine for someone to say they don't support something as long as they don't go out of their way to be offensive.
I'm indifferent, although I did watch an awful documentary a few months back which should never have made it to air. The people they chose to focus on were obviously handpicked for shock value.
That's what a fandom is. Have you ever been to fanfiction-dot-net? Or Deviant Art? Ever gone to an anime-con or a comic-con?
Heck,even "The Museum" portion on this site is dedicated to the AC fandom.
True, that. I'm seeing more and more games and cartoons pop up featuring anthropomorphic characters.
And, yea...there is a lot of furry fetish art out there; I tend to stay away from that side of the furry fandom. I know it's out there, and I even know some of the words used to describe it from the perspective of the furry community.
I'm not interested (and will never be) in that sort of thing; I suppose I'm on the more "innocent" side of the furry fandom. It often does give furries a bad rep, as that's what most people automatically think of when they hear the word "furry".
As for folks wondering what a furry is or wanting an explanation...BlooBelle explained it rather well: Just people interested in anthropomorphic characters (aka "furries").
I'll also try to explain it:
Typically, either as a fandom from a video game (like AC:NL; the villagers and NPCs are anthropomorphic) or an anime (such as Kaiketsu Zorori or Hamtaro)...or, original furries either from the imagination of the person or an alter-ego they use to describe themselves with.
People take their favorite animal, often one they really like (cats, dogs, raccoons...even reptiles) and mix themselves (or a character from their imagination) with that animal. The result is an anthropomorphic creature; a "furry".
A lot of it is the community feel; that there are furry communities all over the place where everyone has a base interest (anthropomorphics), and thus automatically feel they belong. From the base community, people make friends with others who share similar interests besides being a furry; video gamers, artists, writers, anime fans, sports fans...the list goes on.
No matter what age, everyone wants to feel like they belong somewhere; that they aren't a freak for liking something others might find unusual. It's like all of us here on TBT; we all came here because we like Animal Crossing; that's our base interest. From there are other branches of things to do and people to talk with which might or might not have to do with the AC fandom/franchise.
...sorry if that got a little lengthy/wordy. ^^;;

It's too close to beastiality. That's the problem and that's why furries get a lot of hate because people who shag animals are disgusting. Furries basically worship sexy animal humans. I don't understand what's so attractive about them.
I don't hate them. I just literally don't understand it at all and it's a little annoying why they don't understand how they creep some people out.
Not everything related to furries is sexual. I've come across some pretty disgusting animal crossing art, but that definitely doesn't mean that I'm into that part of the fandom.
I don't completely understand furries, but that's no reason for me to hate them.

Ehh, my definition of furries is just someone with an interest/fascination with anthropomorphic animals? It's broad, but I can't come up with anything better.
I'm sure a furry will give you a much better definition.

Ah, I think I understand now.
Just as well there's a thread about Furries then, considering all of the animals in Animal Crossing somewhat relate to the term "Furry".

i'm not mean
Uh, I think some of my friends are furries. I'm pretty sure at least one of them has a suit as one, and I think she's planning to go to a con. I like drawing anthro animals sometimes, I guess. I don't mind them, some of the art drawn with furries are pretty cute. I heard that those suits cost thousands of dollars.

I saw this thread and was actually pretty interested in what a furry actually is because I've never known the real definition.
If others aren't sure, I used the site http://whatisfurry.org and it helped clear things up.

Can't quote them on this phone but for those saying AC isn't an anthro based game
Er so since when did most of the animals depicted stand up and walk on two legs in real life,talk a coherent human language and wear clothes etcb
That is not saying that it is a furry-based game,or that all that play it are furries. We're just casual onlookers to anthro art and the furry community in AC on the whole,really.

The furry fandom is not a collective movement but it is generally people who like the idea of anthropomorphic animals. The furry community includes sketch artists, musicians, writers, ect. Furries tend to get a bad rap from the media which is why the yiff stereotype is used everywhere furries are mentioned. They are freaks in the fandom who do that but only a minority. Fursuits cost thousands of dollars; doing something active like sports or sex would destroy them.
So go ahead and create a furry group. I would join
