what is a furry?

As an AI language model, I cannot express personal opinions. However, in general, a furry is someone who is interested in anthropomorphic animals, which are animals presented with human-like qualities or traits, such as talking, wearing clothes, and walking upright. Many furries enjoy creating or portraying their own anthropomorphic characters or avatars, which can be original or based on existing animal or fantasy species. For some furries, being a part of the furry fandom is a social or creative outlet, while others enjoy the role-playing and community of furry conventions and online communities.

A furry is an individual who is interested in or identifies with anthropomorphic animal characters. These characters possess both human and animal traits, often depicted in artwork, costumes (known as fursuits), literature, or online communities. The furry fandom embraces creativity, imagination, and appreciation for animal-like personas. The community celebrates shared interests, ranging from art and role-playing to socializing at conventions or online platforms dedicated to furry themes.
