(Contrary to what your first thought might be, this is NOT about furries that have a shit fetish!!! DO NOT be confused!!!)
Much like the term shitlib, but as it applies within the furry fandom: A fur who has no discernible personality within the fandom beyond just doing/saying what everyone else around them says/does, or a fur who just does things for attention. Usually within the 18~35 age-group, usually extroverts, usually white & male, usually neurotypical (but could also be ND w/ high masking). Always uninspired. They're typically observed at high-attendance furcons or furmeets, where the apex of their communication skills is pantomiming their sona's species behavior in an obnoxious manner (especially if they're wearing one of those ugly-ass pup hoods). But they're also observed in online groupchats, where they do much the same just with dumb uwu-esque cutesy-speak, and spamming stereotypical affection stickers from popular Telegram packs. You will never develop a compelling social dynamic with a shitfur. Their sona is almost always a dog, fox, and/or hyena; in other words, it's been done before. Ad nauseam. Bonus points if they clutter themselves up in rainbow/trans flag paraphernalia to substitute their lack of a personality.
Being wholly uninspired and having no sauce is the name of the game with shitfurs, and by and large they contribute toward the further gentrification of furry culture, whether they know it or not.

Johnny has been traveling to popular furry conventions for almost a decade, but now he's considering sticking to local furcons from now on, as he's noticed an uptick in shitfurs and fandom-tourists taking over his spaces in the recent years. "The fandom's changed", says Johnny. "We used to be a community of nerds and art-geeks. Now we're gradually getting replaced with jocks and tech-bros, and generative AI is threatening to drive all our great artists out of their careers."
Johnny is also in his 30s, developing back problems, and is starting to bald his hairline.
