	Furry fandom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Furry fandom is an artistic and literary genre that celebrates the hybridization of human and animal traits and characteristics, specifically in cartoons and comics.
		Some other communities, such as the "were" or "therian" communities, share similar beliefs with furry lifestylers but wish to distance themselves from the term “furry,” as they are not necessarily interested in furry fandom or do not wish to have their beliefs trivialized by association with a "cartoon" fandom.
		Protests have been made by members of the furry fandom against what they regard as "distasteful, unrelated, or deviant aspects" of the fandom, in particular by groups such as the "Burned Furs" (a protest group of the 1990's who felt their work and image was being seriously harmed by increased sexual aspects within the Fandom).

		Furries are disturbing due to the intricate, full-body suits—known as fursuits—every furry will eventually build one and most will only have sex with them on, often while using tickling furshampoo.
		Furries claim to be born the way they are, like fags, but they're actually just delusional and chose to be furry to fit in with someone, as every other subculture has rejected them.
		Furries are frequently mocked and featured on Something Awful and the Portal of Evil, where the worst of the worst are showcased and ridiculed.

	Nicodemus' Fursuit Pages: About Furry
		Furry fandom is usually considered to be a subcategory of Fantasy fandom (fans of fantasy fiction and such), but people sometimes associate it with SF fandom (science- fiction fandom) or Anime fandom (Japanese animation fandom) as well.
		Fandoms are sometimes quite large (such as SF fandom, which is all fans of science fiction) and are sometimes quite specific (Dave Barry fandom, those people who are avid readers and enthusiasts of Dave Barry).
		Other fandoms, such as furry fandom, are self-selective groups; you are a member of the fandom if you are interested in the subject and want to be part of activities.

	Furry fandom - WikiFur
		Furry fandom is also used to refer to the community of artists, writers, role players and general fans of the furry art forms who gather on the net and at conventions.
		Furry hate groups have been created that ridicule the fandom at every opportunity and continue the spread of various types of misinformation, largely based on overplaying activities that exist in the fringe areas of the community and have no direct relationship to the fandom.
		Other furries will then turn on those who claim not to want to be associated with every controversial element in the community and accuse them of being a detriment to the stability of the community, often accompanied with accusations of Nazi behavior or being a Burned Fur.

		In conjunction with the fact that the bulk of Furries tend to be fairly young, it appears that the subculture is undergoing a population growth, accepting new members at a rate higher than older members leave.
		The spread of Furry Fandom appears to be primarily word-of-mouth.
		One common statement heard between Furries discussing the social dynamics of the fandom is that it appears that the estimated "10% of all humans are homosexual" is reversed.

	The New Furry's Dictionary
		The Furry community is a particularly loose association and informally organized collection of adherants sharing an interest in anthropomorphic characters in art, literature, cinema, theatre, and TV shows.
		Furries, being somewhat unconventional, and defining themselves by values and manners that stand apart from the community at large, also have a language all their own.
		It is an inescapeable fact of life: to be a Furry is to be seen as a "weirdo" for one's devotion to what the public-at-large has been trained for the past 45 years to see as "kids' stuff".

	A Historical And Cultural Commentary On The Object Of Furry Fandom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Most people who use the term “Furry” to refer to themselves are very unhappy about this association of the term and beg the world’s understanding that they have no control over who adopts the term “Furry,” and that they do not wish to be confused with sexual deviants or accused of sharing their interests.
		Furry fans, children’s fantasy fans and OTR fans alike are most fortunate in that every episode of this fascinating serial survives and that it’s easily accessible, if they are informed enough to look for it.
		Furry fans as old as myself and older exist in great abundance throughout the world, but older people are often computer illiterate and don't travel in circles where they would hear of The Furry Community.

		Of course, a fandom is defined by the fans, and it's practically impossible for such a diverse group to agree on a concise definition of much of anything.
		The core definition of a "furry" seems to include basically humanoid-formed creatures with animal faces, fur/scale/feathers/whatever, and often appropriate tails, wings, claws, etc., able to speak, and with a human-like personality, though quite often with "quirks" hinting at the real-life animal upon which the character is based.
		This is largely because of the baggage the term "furry" carries with it, as a number of people see "furries" obsessed with the sexuality of their fictitious characters.

		Some members of the fandom believe that modern Furry is simply a current expression of the age-old belief in animal spirits and lycanthrope transformation that is found in cultural histories around the world.
		In the last decade, this formerly underground aspect of the fandom has grown enormously, and may be linked to the similar explosion in the population of the Fandom, which in turn was almost certainly sparked by the growth of the Internet.
		Beyond socialization, the fandom is also a sexual outlet for many who have found it difficult to find others with their particular mixture of fetishes.

		It's part of the philosophy of ALF that a person's 'furry lifestyle' is whatever the person concerned asserts that it is. In more general terms however, a furry lifestyle is a lifestyle which is informed or influenced markedly by the furriness of the person who leads it.
		Perhaps the most well-rounded definition of a furry toonophile is a person who regards furry toons with the same range of emotions he or she would bestow on a human.
		Furry Macrophilia is basically the furry equivalent of the Giantess phenomenon in the 'mundane' realm, except that Macro Furries tend not to be so exclusively female, nor so exclusively sexual.

	Clarification for Clueless Anime Fans
		Other sorts of furries, or non-furries, should understand that the essay is not aimed at you and that I don't mean to make any judgement about the way you act.
		Furry fandom is more proactive than that since Furry-dom produces the objects of its interest from within the fandom.
		"...Furry fandom is not about the curious behavior trumpeted in the scandal sheets, but is instead an artistic and literary genre that is practiced and enjoyed by tens of thousands worldwide.

	Furry Fandom
		Therefore a furry is an animal with human characteristics attributed to it.
		The fandom is a vast entity spanning from those who just like the artwork and/or stories to those whose "furriness" is intertwined in their daily lives.
		Essentially, all a furry species would need clothing for is to carry something (well, a kangaroo has the pouch...), protection (armor for warriors or a space suit), or for some type of symbolism (military uniform).

	GLT » Furry Fandom
		Furries don their costumes and socialize at conventions, small parties and private gatherings.
		Some of these Furries engage in “fursuit sex” (dry humping in costume) or “plushie sex” (sex with a stuffed animal), while others are satisfied with old-fashioned sex, or “yiffing” as it is called after the mythical noise two (or more) anthropomorphic animals make when having sex with one another.
		Furry Fandom is a fetish, and like all fetishes there is a social as well as private aspect.

		Furries can also be people who believe that they have spiritual connections with certain types of animals.
		A furry fan is someone who doesn't necessarily believe that he or she is an animal in spirit.
		Furry fans just have ordinary interests in furry things like cartoon movies, TV shows, stuffed animals, etc. Furry fans are alas, considered furries for the most part.

		It has had a major significance in furry fandom, starting around 1984 as the center of the Tiger's Den BBS, then furry parties and ConFurence; but to infer that the Prancing Skiltaire was created specifically to be a furry commune or that it has only been that, is incorrect.
		The furry party name leads to the characterization of these fans as "furry fandom" by the late 1980s.

	Burned Fur, Frozen Fur... who gives a toss!
		I was going to write a bit of a piece about they whys and wherefores of the whole dispute and aggravation, but then I found that Allen Kitchen's excellent article "No FurTher Debate Please" in the e-zine "Fuzzy Logic" had beaten me to it.
		Adding to Allen's article, from my perspective the "Burned Fur vs Lifestyler" business in the fandom is yet another product of too many people taking a fun thing too seriously, plus the maxim that the bigger the group, the more nutters come out of the woodwork - on both sides.
		In the fandom, well I tend to the "fan" side of the spectrum.

		First off, we could really use a few more warm bodies to help us with set-up on Thursday, tear-down on Sunday, and/or keeping their eyes on things in between (we're going to have a lot of rare and valuable stuff on display in the Display Room, and we don't want any of it to walk).
		What we could really use is one or two furry artists willing to get up in front of a room full of fannish kids and teach them how to draw (and possibly color, if there's time) a funny animal character.
