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.
