That is weird...
 
hahah darkstar lol.....(edit, referring to your page 2 post deviant weirdo freaks :laugh:)

anyways, furries, i think do make the cosplayers look normal. but furries have NOTHING on ... what's it called? otaku? okatu? something similar to that... these are people who actually think that "anime" is a depiction of their REAL lives in a past age. ...or something like that. it's f*cked up in any case. i actually read something once where the psycho was all like "yeah, they got dramatized what really happened in inuyasha(could be wrong, don't remember which anime series it was, but you get the picture). since i was there i know that it didn't happen that way entirely." anyways, eh some people just can't handle reality, and so create a fantasy world to live in. mehhhh doesn't make them bad people, there've always been fringe elements in every society.
 
I live in a fantasy world, it is called the internet :)
I am this guy named Foxtrot, sometimes I am a guy with a gun and sometimes I command an army...
 
Well.. they have virtual sex.

That to its own is just.. WRONG.

Otaku really just means a person who is obsessed with anime, nothing like thinking anime is real, you'd have to be on some good drugs, maybe DMT or something.

And furries scare me and make me mad ever since I saw a BBC documentary about them (I still have it). Like all about their Fur Piles and Scritches and Slurps and Yiffe, god.
 
I still have nightmares from the... YIFFING MACHINE!!!!

ugh... :(
 
There is a furry sitting next to me in my English class. He has picture of human like goat in bikini with big tits on his binder. It’s distracting.

That is so ****ing twisted.
 
Haha, people hate furries :D

I know plenty of them over MSN, all really nice people, and I frequent Furcadia (www.furcadia.com). I wouldn't say I was a furry myself, not 'IRL', I don't prescribe to any of their beliefs or whatnot, but hey it's just a bit of fun so meh.

Sure they can be nice people, but when they get into full swing, dressed up in a fursuit and start yiffing and scritching its just plain f-ed up.

and I don't care what you say about tolerance, furries are just too damn weird.

What exactly do you mean by "frequent?" Like once a day? If that's the case, sorry man...you're a ****ing furry. And that is sick, and gross.

Bwahaha!

/me scritches.
 
Hmm, if I think I know what they do this is the lowest form of human life.

Haha...I wouldn't say that. But it is ficking twisted.
 
The only furry I know is at my school. She is pretty fricking weird. She purrs during class. At least she doesnt skritch...

No, big tits, plus she got a vagina… yeah, as I said, hard to focus. It’s not like I get horny while looking at it, but there is something else to it…
 
that spelling is UTTERLY comedic...

...it's "udder" :)

anyways, maybe it isn't JUST "otaku" it may have had something on the end of the "otaku," like otakusa or something like that... in any case, that is still the most f*cked up group of people i've come across on the internet i think. hmm... i still say they make furries look like ...

... something normal.

edit: btw, letters... who's that in your avatar?
 
Lycanthrope

* Noun, Singular: A person with lycanthropic attributes. Howling at the moon is clichéd, however other effects are decernable. A lycanthrope may experience subtle mental shifts, usually beyond the control of the subject. This includes loss of memory, reasoning and / or language during wake or sleep which leads to more animal-like behaviour.

wtf man?!!
 
Wooo...

I've seen a lot of these furries, and I'd have to say that even they can't give a satisfactory definition of the word.

Some of the meanings I've seen:

1. A person who believes that they are, on some level, an animal, either anthropomorphic or normal (Even to the extent of those poor, sad, weird fursuiters).
2. A person who just likes art and stories about anthropomorphic characters (Probably the easiest kind to deal with)
3. The anthropomorphic characters themselves.
4. Cartoon animals, even non-anthropomorphic ones.
5. Animal-like characters from books and film, like Chewbacca or the Ewoks from StarWars.

I think that those are the main definitions. I wouldn't agree with some of them being anything other than self-applied, because otherwise that would mean that fans (like myself) of the Redwall books, Watership Down, Sonic the Hedgehog, StarFox or such sci-fi classics as Andre Norton's "Breed to Come", would be classed as furries (# 2), and I'm not sure I want that kind of reputational baggage.

I don't think people should make fun of them, though I must say that those who really think that they are animals are a little sad. If they're not hurting anyone or themselves. Whatever spins their wheels. Or in this case, wags their tails.

Oh, and BTW, the "Fuzzy" books mentioned earlier aren't books written by a furry, they're a series of totally awesome and classic books from the fifties by a man named H. Beam Piper.
 
Brian seems to have come up with the best definition I've ever come across. Suffice it to say that the vast majority fall into category 2. (Thank God.)
 
Have to agree with Brian, furry is a broad term. Or better put, nobody really knows what the hell it means :)

Most of the ones I talk with are category 2 but some are on a deeper level, they feel they identify with certain animals, some even believe they're connected on a spiritual level @_@

But hey it's harmless so feh, let the dog have his bone :P
