These are animals that have been given human characteristics, such as the ability to talk, walk on two legs, and have human-like intelligence. The furry community is diverse and includes people from all walks of life.

History

The furry community has its roots in the science fiction and fantasy communities of the 1980s. The term "furry" was first used in this context in a fanzine published in 1983. Since then, the community has grown and evolved, with furries now found all over the world.

Furry Fandom

The furry fandom is a subculture interested in anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics. Examples of anthropomorphic attributes include exhibiting human intelligence and facial expressions, speaking, walking on two legs, and wearing clothes. The term "furry fandom" is also used to refer to the community of people who gather on the Internet and at furry conventions.

Furry Lifestyle

Some furries consider being a furry to be more than just a hobby – for them, it is a lifestyle. These furries may wear fursuits – costumes that represent their furry characters – in their daily lives. They may also incorporate elements of their furry identity into their personal and professional lives.

Criticism and Controversy

The furry community has faced criticism and controversy. Some people view the community as being overly sexualized, while others have accused it of promoting bestiality. However, many furries argue that these criticisms are based on misconceptions and stereotypes.
