What are furries?
1: An anthropomorphic creature. Something with human characteristics; many of the creatures in the Lion King would be, by this definition, "furries", as they speak English. This also includes things that don't have fur, such as dragons that walk up-right and use tools.
2: The same as above, but restricted to things with fur.
3: Humans with the characteristics of non-human things, such as "cat-girls".
4: People that like to role- or cos-play as such things.
5: A more loose definition of the above, anyone that happens to like furries(by definition 1-3, not necesarily including all, not necesarily excluding 4).
I suppose I should have been more clear and specified that I was referring to both meanings(4&5) when I posted this thread, seeing as the fifth one is a lot less commonly used.

I think they indulge in a useless fantasy.
As do anyone that roleplay, or assume any characteristics online that they don't actualy have, intentionaly, and for reasons other than simply decieving a particular person in a particular way.
