I find the being a furry is like being in a culture. In the furry fandom, I categorize furries into three teirs, Similar to Social Classes, just without the authority in a social class
Tier 0 Not a furry. At all. consists of haters and people who have never heard of a furry.
Tier 1 Consisting of roughly 4% they just like furries and hanging out with them. They say their not a furry but they are.
Tier 2 The largest tier in the fandom with nearly 90% of the fandom. They know their a furry and embrace it. Most have fursona , fursuit, create furry art or a combination of the three. They are all ages and don't Yiff. many are just looking to socialize and have a good time.
Tier 3 This is the smallest of the tiers and contains close to 5% of the fandom. These are the people that draw furry porn, and yiff. These are stereotypical furries that have given the fandom a bad name. If a person does draw furry porn or yiff, a they are instantly categorized as this.

Get the furry mug.furries are people who either are fans of anthropomorphic characters (and draw them), people who have an obsession with them, have a sexual obsession with them, or just want to be an animal. Most are usually artists or online storywriters. Contrary to stereotypes, these people are not sexual perverts, just people with a different obsession than most.

Get the furry mug.A furry who knows how fucked up the fandom and its members are, but still enjoys the hobby aspect of having a fursona and/or fursuiting. They are often disgusted by the sexual nature of furries, the large amount of zoophilia, oversensitive degenerates, and the very common cancel culture. A furry hating furry typically distances themselves from other furries but still feels pride in having a fursona and uses furry art as profile pictures or get a fursuit.
A furry hating furry, anti-furry and furry haters will often see each other as allies.
Personally, I consider myself a furry hating furry, because a large chunk of my past furry friends from 2016-2021 has turned out to be zoophiles or pedophiles, and a lot of furries are oversexed and/or oversensitive.
