@jon666 Some would argue that to be a furry, you must think and talk like one (i.e. use furry specific words and phrases). Even if you go to conventions, wear a fursuit, draw the art, writes the stories etc but don't talk using furry lingo, you're not a furry. Basically, someone that may walk the walk but doesn’t talk the talk. Others would argue that even liking anthropomorphic creatures makes you a furry. You may have no idea the furry fandom exists or have ever heard of a furry convention, let alone any of the websites; simply liking 'anthro' critters makes you a furry. The way I see it, if or if you don’t consider yourself a furry is a matter of personal opinion. Urban Dictionary

@yodelerty hmmm...

@yodelerty i love that gif so much

@noirbatch Honestly explaining what a furry is, is not easy. You, however, explained it pretty well.

@noirbatch This sounds pretty right. I just go for "whoever considers him-/herself to be a furry probably cares enough to be called one". Even if they don't do THAT much in the fandom (like me), it's nice to still be appreciated :x

@dusty I basically explain it via Urban Dictionary, because it is exactly what I say to folks

@noirbatch Ah, right. :p

@dusty Cuz people have asked me for so long I basically say that is personal opinion on whether to claim you are one or not. I am still Seth lol
