Get the A furrymug. A furry is a person who is a fan of anthropomorphic characters, or animals that behave and have some characteristics of humans (like Zootopia).
A furry usually is someone who creates an anthropomorphic character based on their personality, or a personality they wish they had- called a fursona (furry persona).
If they have enough money, they spend a few thousand dollars on a fursuit, which is basically a mascot but with more padding, and they are only expensive because they are made by individual artists, as opposed to a huge company.
Some furries don’t have fursuits, like popular YouTuber Blu the dragon. Art is a huge aspect in the furry fandom. Most furries are REALLY good at drawing, so they draw their fursonas doing something, like playing tennis or doing homework. Not all furries can draw, though.
Some people see the furry fandom as a sex-crazed fetish, but there is only as much of a sexual aspect to it as there is to being human in general- it is what you make of it. The media likes to exaggerate about the furry fandom, except for a few articles by CNN and documentaries by MSNBC, BBC, and VICE.
Above all, the Furry Fandom is basically the world’s most misunderstood subculture.

Get the Furrymug. Possibly the strangest sub-culture in all of geekdom. Furries range from being harmless fans fascinated by anthropomorphic characters and animals, to immensely withdrawn or self-abosrbed persons who actually believe, or want to believe, they're eagle-winged fox-like versions of themselves with giant gentalia who wouldn't dare be anything else that could be considered mundane. Furries defy any coventional or unifying definition.

Get the furrymug. 1.noun; A fandom of people who are animal enthusiasts who usually draw or have anthropomorphised animal characters. There is two main sides of the furry fandom. The SFW side, which is quite a bit larger than the NSFW side, but usually keeps quiet due to the reputation the NSFW side has given the fandom. Most furries are not interested in beastiality or fetishizing anything related to furries. And then we have the NSFW side. The fandom is judged largely by the NSFW side, which most other fandoms have NSFW sides, and their reputation isn't based on that, so it doesn't really make sense.
2.adjective; Fluffy, having fur, fuzzy

1. person a: Did you hear that Bailey is a furry?
person b: Does that mean they want to have sex with animals?
person a: Most likely not. I can't believe that a whole fandom is judged by a minority of itself.
person b: Oh, alright. I can be safe taking my dog over to their house.
2. My cat's tail is so furry!

Get the Furrymug. An older name for furry kind. Used by most of it’s older members, or anyone more deeply rooted into the fandom. Although still optional to the more popular now “Furry” word, Furrie is a cuter sounding word of unkown origin.

Get the Furriemug. People who like dressing up as anthropomorphic animals. Yes, they are all human and honestly as long as you don't go to the deep side (where all of them have sex in Murrsuits) then you'll be safe! most of them are actually really nice,smart and creative!
