A person who likes wearing animal suits/costumes. These suits usually have a lot of fur on them, hence “furry”.
Not all of these people are perverts who sexualize animals btw. Most furries are just normal people who like wearing animal costumes sometimes.
The perverts in the furry community are usually called “mursuiters”. Remember that

Get the furrymug. Firstly, there are furries and there are Furries. The former term is simply anyone who is fascinated by anthropomorphic animals in media. May watch many Disney movies or read Redwall or similar novel series often. While they are strange, they can usually still function normally in regular life, as it doesn't take more than the role of a hobby or an interest. Then, there are the Furries. There is no way to completely describe them all. However, it is safe to say that they are an extreme version of Furries. Their interest in anthropomorphic animals is an obsession; and, as with any other obsession, hurts their social skills with normal people (who, by the way, they call "mundanes," implying that they are somehow more interesting than a sane person.) They may believe that they are part animal, an animal in a human's body, or were previously an animal (note however, they were always something "cute" or "magestic." They are never voles or rats. This may stem from a negative self image.) They also produce some of the most disturbing pornography on the internet, "furry porn," where the animals "yiff" (euphemism for sex). However, since there is no real-life "yiffing," all of this porn is usually in hentai format (i.e.-drawn). Many Furries fantasize about anthropomorphic animals from many children's movies. However, they are also extremely vocal about their perversions, which sets them up as easy targets. What makes it even easier is the fact that it is as easy to hurt their feelings as an emo kid's. Because it is easy to make fun of a furry, something awful "goons" and portal of evil forum members (admittedly neither forum can brag of having particularly intelligent or unintelligent posters) have a field day whenever a furry wanders into a chatroom wherever said members are chatting.
Furry: "Who wants to see half-Lion and half-Bunny yiff? If you do, come to my site. No furry haters please!"
Me: "I don't think posting on something awful is a very good way for a furry to avoid ridicule."

Get the furrymug. NOTE: Majority of these definitions are NOT from actual furries, take it from a real one.
Unlike the pictures suggest, a furry is NOT BY ANY MEANS a person who dresses as an animal. Despite the fact that some furries do enjoy that, it is NOT the definition. A person who dresses as an animal, is a gigolo (pronounced ji-gill-oh).
A furry, on the other hand is a person who finds anthropomorphic animals (meaning they walk, talk, think, act, and have personalities like a human) appealing, often but not always sexually.
*Other misconceptions*
- not all furries like yiff, and the 2 CANNOT be considered the same, or even similar
- being a furry does NOT mean wanting to have sex with the characters, although some do, it is NOT a requirement
Examples of furry Characters:
-Minerva Mink
-Sheila Vixen
-Amy the Squirrel

Non-furry: "Why do you have pictures of Minerva Mink on your PC?"
Furry: "Oh... heheh, I'm kind of what you call a furry..."
Non-furry: "....I don't get it at all but whatever..."
Furyy: "Hey dude, furry pride for the win!"

Get the furrymug. n, adj.

Some furries even go as far as saying you need to partake in fursuiting or making art to be a furry, but every furry will have different opinions.
Most people who hate furries are often people who have not been exposed to the entire fandom yet. Most furry haters will stereotype them as animal-fuckers.
The most common furries are the ones that will view the art and the ones who create the art.
The second most common type of furries are the ones who make art.
Fursuiters are furries who dress up in fursuits depicting anthropomorphic animals. Fursuiters most often go to furry conventions and make animal noises, hug people, and sell merch.

Young Incredibly Fuckable Furry
Not limited to young. In fact, most characters in yiff are over the age of 18.

That wraps it up! Hopefully, those who read this that are(n't)furries learned something from it.

Get the furrymug. Ένα furry είναι ένας φανταστικός χαρακτήρας ζώου που έχει ανθρώπινα χαρακτηριστικά, όπως να περπάει στα δύο πόδια ή να μιλάει.
Τα άτομα που τους αρέσουν τα έργα τέχνης τα οποία απεικονίζουν ανθρωπόμορφα ζώα (furries) ονομάζονται επίσης furries, και μαζί φτιάχνουν το furry fandom. Μια άλλη λέξη για τα furries είναι η λέξη "ανθρωπόμορφα".

Get the furrymug. People who like the dress as anthropomorphic animals. Usually characterized by whining, and comparing their plight to the oppression of various ethnic groups or homosexuals. Unlike ethnic groups or homosexuals, there is no genetic variation nor genetic traits that makes a person dress as a mascot. Making fun of a furry is no more different then insulting a person for saying or doing stupid things. There are however, good and bad furries (See Example).
Scenario One: Bad Furry
Fancy Restaurant Doorman: "Sir, I can not allow you in dressed as that."
Furry: "OH MY GOD! WHY WON'T YOU ACCEPT ME FOR WHO I'AM!? I'M A PERSON TOO! *AWWOOOOOOO!*"
Fancy Restaurant Doorman: "Wow..."
Scenario Two: Good Furry
Fancy Restaurant Doorman: Sir, I can't allow you in dressed like that."
Furry: "E-gad sir! it would appear as if I've accidentally swapped my tuxedo for my fury suit, and have failed to notice until now! Terribly sorry about that old bean! allow me go home and change, I'll be right back!"
Fancy Restaurant Doorman: "I do appreciate that sir, I'll be right here waiting."
Fancy Restaurant Doorman: "Sir, I can not allow you in dressed as that."
