what’s exactly a furry?
In: 0
There are at least 3 types of people that refer to themselves as furries. 1 of them is just a hobby, the other 2 are sexual in nature. Some people enjoy acting and dressing like an animal just for fun. It’s like people that dress up as their favorite anime characters at a convention except they might do it for other events too and they also (often not always) have a personality they like to act when dressed up. It’s their fur-sona. It’s all role playing so it might be more accurate to say it’s like the people that do larp battles at renaissance fairs.
If they also get sexual gratification from the experience of dressing up and acting like an animal, they can also be called furries. Some people have ports in their suits for sexual play, others only partially dress up, and some just get off from humping other furries in the costume. There’s a lot of variety here. Hobbyist furries often get a bad rap because of being compared to sexual furries. People think the ones out in public are the same as the ones doing dirty stuff in the suit which probably isn’t often true. I’m sure there are some that have done the dirty in public in their suits, but I doubt it’s a measurable fraction of the fandom.
The last type are people into pet play. They may not even dress up at all, or just a pair of ears and a collar. Maybe a tail butt plug. Honestly pretty vanilla compared to the category above. It’s tough calling them furries because of how different it is from the other two, but I have seen them referred as such in the past so I include them anyway.
