FurryFrom WhatPort80(Redirected from Furries)
   
Furries claim that their "fursona" is a innate part of themselves. Sometimes they claim it's a "totem animal" in order to give themselves the same legitimacy that druids have in D&D. Sometimes they claim that they were actually an animal in a previous life, and have been reincarnated. Sometimes they claim that they're RILLY RILLY HONEST AND FOR TRUE a lycanthrope, who can magically transform themselves into a real, actual animal. And rarely, they claim that they're actually an animal with the magical ability to turn into a socially maladjusted loser. Naturally, these innate natures or totem animals or whatever delusional justification they provide, almost always, take the form of an animal that is either cute (rabbits, mice, woodchucks, etc), dangerous (lions, tigers, bears, oh my), or rife with dark symbolism (snakes, ravens). Naturally, these traits are rarely possessed by the furry's "human nature". furries who claim, say, a banana slug or an anchovy as their totem animal are almost non-existent. The only known examples of such , in fact, are those who deliberately choose a non-standard totem animal so they could (A) be socially maladjusted outsiders even within the furry community (and if that doesn't make you flinch, nothing will); and (B) say "NUH-UH" to anybody who makes the observation outlined in this paragraph.
RecruitmentThis is what happens when kids are raised on a diet of Disney cartoons that depict animals with love interests, are constantly told to play with talking teddy bears, or watch Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, and that cartoon animal Robin Hood movie (while we're on the subject, ANY of furry-fanbased Don Bluth's first 5 "movies") to severe excess. Despite opinion that it's the internet that creates furries, furries existed and still exist even without the internet. Through movies, cartoons, Halloween costumes, toys, games, and other things that parents innocently expose their children to, children develop an interest in furry. So, furries tend to develop before being exposed to the internet, though it is only when exposed to the internet that they realize "OMG! THERE'RE OTHERS LIKE ME!". Wikipedia dramaSince so much of furry existence revolves around the internets, many of Wikipedia's admins are furries, such as: ContiE, Fennec, Furrykef, Loganberry, Wiki alf, and Wwwwolf. There is also Xydexx. These furries have made it their goal in life to make sure that web sites, including Wikipedia, are as accurate (read: white-washed) as possible. This involves making approximately eleventy gazillion edits to Wikipedia's "Furry" article and, when that doesn't fulfill the need for alpha-wolf dominance, also the "Furry fandom", "Funny animal", and "Talking animal" articles. Why in the world Wikipedia has separate articles for "Furry" and "Furry fandom" in the first place is one of the many, many, many infinitesimally trivial points being bickered over between Xydexx and allegedly-cooler heads in the various articles' Discussion pages. Why? Because certain furries want to deny that furry has anything to do with sex. There is one yiff pic in existance that doesn't depict disgusting, criminal, dicks-everywhere cartoon animal sex, and they found it and put it on their yiff article. Obsessively denying the relation between sex and furries on wikipedia is likely the result of furry-style castration. Even Those Who Don't Know, KnowPicked this up on a chat on deviantART, dude hit the nail right on the head.
Fursecution This is what furries call being made fun of for being on the lowest tier of the Geek Hierarchy. Even geeks have standards, mind you. Not to mention that trolls, as equal opportunity sadists, only go for the groups that are Asking for it. Of course, they try and make it seem like they are being TRULY AND HONESTLY persecuted by comparing them to the hardships of racism, homophobia, or even religious persecution. Even people with half a brain can smell the crap coming from these arguments.
For an example of this type of furry reactionism (and the hilarious result), you can see it here in both the video and comments section. Furry "Art" Furry art is quite frequently amateurish and focuses on bizarre sex acts and interspecies mating. It is most often characterized by a tenuous grasp of anatomy. There are a few professional artists squandering their talent by drawing fox-cat-goat women having sex with horse-men with several penises. For some of the most disturbing examples of furry art do a Google image search for Doug Winger, Chanta Ra.or kemonoarts Seriously. It's a well known fact that some furry artists, hacks by normal standards, have decided to prostitute their meager talents by creating paysites containing their material, or in some cases, buyable art CDs. Of course, noone wants to pay for drawings, so the material from these paysites/CDs is often ripped and rapidshared, resulting in the full, unleashed fury of the hack. Prime examples of such behaviour are Jeremy Bernal, who will go to extreme lengths to prevent his stuff being distributed, and the Japanese artist Tojyo, who stopped producing art altogether after his doujins and CDs found their way into the tubes of the internets. Furries have also expanded their scope, venturing unabashed into the realms of music in the form of the "Furry Music Foundation". Needless to say, it has the same effect on the ears as their artwork does to the eyes.  What furries say "Furry" does not meanThe term furry does not imply lycanthropy, vampirism, sexual preference, sex, age or fetish of any kind. It is a completely generalized term and does not even reflect upon the animal or being to which the person identifies with or to. "Furry" is not to be confused with an "anthropomorph" or "anthro-evolution", which combines the physical attributes of humans and other animals (often with the human features dominating the animal features).
