Not furry, but I can totally get off to jap-neko pictures... I don't know the terminologies for all these things, I don't really like "fully anthropomorphic" btu I do like things like Horo (Holo from Spice and Wolf). I know that doesn't make me a furry, at least I don't think. I'm really out of my element in this thread =/
What I don't understand about furries is their hoping and dreaming of eventually becoming an anthropomorphic creature.
What's hard to understand about that. I'm sure many gamers wish that they were a Halo Spartan.
I find being a human boring, a world inhabited by a variety of different species of Anthros seems (and is) much more diverse.
Pfft...
I want to be me.
If I lived in an awesome world, people wouldn't dream up as many as they do in this shitty one.
If we had Pokemon or the X-Men, people wouldn't have video games.
The term 'anthros' is confusing. 'Anthro' is the Greek word that just means 'human'. I suppose it is short for 'anthropomorphic'?

I 'unno, I guess.
I just call 'em furries.
The animal-peoples?
They're furries.
The people who like to imagine about animal-peoples?
They're furries too.
The people who like to dress up as animal-peoples?
Also furries.
Most of the trouble we get is from ignorance, arrogance or misunderstandings.
Truthfully, it's not a fetish, but for some it is. We're not all sexually assertive, but some are. And we don't all go around in fur-suits, but some do.
There's lots of different furries, some are just artists, some are writers, some are just fans... and a few are a little weird. People just think we're all into the yiff porn. Most aren't.
There really is no one way to describe being a "Furry". For me, it's the intrigue into anthropomorphic animals, and our "inner" furry. For others, it's different.
I can't be bothered to care about other people's fetishes. I use to be highly judgmental, but the more time that passes the less i care and if i ever do have a problem i just keep it to myself. As for furries, I've never had a problem with them though have i have not interacted with with many. The closest thing to a furry i like are nekos.

Nekos =/= furries
I know, I know, thats why I said not fully anthro, but like neko (or Holo, who is wolf.. so not neko)

Doesn't need to be a catgirl to be a neko, even if neko means cat in Japanese.

I'm pretty sure he's just using the shortened version of "Nekomimi", which if I'm correct means cat ears.
To me, Kemonomimi means more human than animal, and anthro and the like is more animal than human.
Nerdy terminology aside...
A portion of the furry community is misunderstood, but I'm having trouble deciding if that number is a lot or a little.
Furries. I still don't get em. Meh. I'd rather have sex with a humans, or robots even.
But you see, that opens you up to the same scrutiny as you are putting up against furries. I don't really think you are being obnoxious about your statement since you aren't being "eww gross" or "there should be a filter". So, I respect that.
To those saying "eww gross" or "there should be a filter" really just need to grow up. I'm being harsh but it's true. You are, by your own volition, coming to an open community. You have every right to not come here and you also have the right to not look at the pictures. If you want a filter, figure one out yourself (you could actually probably do it with ADblock) since this is your issue and not anything more.
Also, why the hate? How many fetishes are there out there? Thousands? Do you seriously think there should be a "filter" on all fetishes? Or even, -why- should it be filtered? there is no pornographic or lewd photos (except maybe Holo with Honey... but | like that!) anthro or otherwise. TO be honest, would you be complaining if there were lewd photos of women/men that were not Anthro?
Avatars like these are damn disturbing. I don't mind those guys as long as they stay out of my face and don't bring up their strange.. way of thinking? But more and more signatures/avatars like that show up. It's just... D:
This forum soon will NEED a filter furry feature if this wont stop.
What's wrong with a furry avatar?

Quote from Mitsuka »
High-fives are a renewable resource, so there shall definitely be more.
I'm actually tired of seeing these disgusting furry pictures. Sorry, but that's how I feel.
I need some sort of filter to get rid of these nasty pictures.
I don't get what's so nasty. They're just animals with human characteristics o-o

Do not wallow do not stall
Time waits for none at all
Your allowance may crawl,
It may fly or even vanish
But none will seem more lavished
Than time lost to all.
I just think the "Furry and proud of it" is damn weird. And, to be honest, you people should keep it to yourselves. You have your own topic, you all interact with each other there and that's fine with me, but putting these sigs so everyone can see it are weird, to say at least. And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who would rather not see them.
You don't see everyone making sigs about their fetishes, right?
Being a furry isn't necessary a fetish. It's just a different mindset, in the same way some people are otakus or metalheads. People just need to forget the stereotype that being a furry is purely sexual because it isn't n-n

(USER WAS WARNED FOR THIS POST)
Anthro is the classifacation for that figure of human-animal.
The fandom is called Furry.

I would say a lot, just some more than others. Just depends who you're talking to or getting an opinion from.

That said, it's clearly not worth the effort."
And soon there'll be a filter for the Anime and Manga picture too?
Seriously, there's nothing wrong with my Avatar nor my sig either.
Nothing morally wrong, but some people think they look damn freaky. And some people apparently can't take that, like him.
