What is a furry and how to become one?

i just was searching on the internet and came across furry porn, and it was quite cool. i really enjoyed it. but then i heard that some people are considered "furries" why are they furries and what makes them one?

does watching furry porn make you one, or something else?What is a furry and how to become one?
i think if you dress as one then that makes you a furry. if you watch it i think it means you like 'yif' or 'yilf' or something. i'm not really interested in that type of stuff so I don't know much, but i don't think it makes you one, i think it just means you like it..?What is a furry and how to become one?
There is no one single definition of what a furry is. Even within the furry fandom, people cannot always agree on just what makes a person a furry or not.



Some would argue that to be a furry, you must think and talk like one (i.e. use furry specific words and phrases). Even if you go to conventions, wear a fursuit, draw the art, writes the stories etc but don't talk using furry lingo, you're not a furry. Basically, someone that may walk the walk but doesn鈥檛 talk the talk.



Others would argue that even liking anthropomorphic creatures makes you a furry. You may have no idea the furry fandom exists or have ever heard of a furry convention, let alone any of the websites; simply liking 'anthro' critters makes you a furry.



The way I see it, if or if you don鈥檛 consider yourself a furry is a matter of personal opinion.



As with any hobby, most furries are normal people just like anyone you'll meet at work/school or going to/from work/school or anywhere. Then there is the small percent that are hard core fans and have taken what for most is a hobby and perverted it (sometimes in an all to literal sense).



As is with so many other things in life, the few that take it too far tend to be the loudest. The silent majority are often forced into silence by the loud majority for fear that people will label them as being in the same class as the minority that have perverted it.



One unfortunate side effect of the internet and the relative anonymity that some sites grant their users is people are able to engage in activities (even if only on a virtual level) that they would never even consider doing in real life. An example of this is trolls of message boards that say things to people they鈥檇 never say to them in person. I think a lot of the stereotypes associated with furries are because of this.



In conclusion, as with any hobby, there are some furries that have taken it too far and/or perverted what for many is a fun harmless hobby.

If only the silent majority were not so silent, people would realise there is more to furries then perversion.What is a furry and how to become one?
Furries are people who like to dress up as animals and performs sexual activities.
