The common word 'Furry', used as a noun, denotes a furry fan, a person who has an interest or appreciation for furry subjects in art, culture, and literature.

A furry lifestyler, by comparison, is someone who has a deeper connection to the animal of their choosing. Not necessarily to a shamanistic or therianthropic degree, but to a degree where they see their animal containing some qualities as a reflection of themselves in some fashion.

Get the Furry Lifestyler mug.
a person suffering from massive psychological delusions in an attempt to grip onto their shattering reality.

Pretending they are one with an animal form, they go online into IRC chatrooms, discuss their several tails, third nipple, their sexy feline figure and then masturbate to images of anthropomorphic animal drawings.

Sometimes congregate in 'furry conventions' which result in nothing more than disgusting orgies of lard, nerd-grease and the lowest rung of the human genepool.
everyone should ignore furry 'lifestylers'
