Hey,
I'm new here and I must say that I like furries, but I have no idea why :( .
So I was wondering, why other people Like furries, What is the reason to like it?
So my qwestion is; What do you like abour furries? what is it for you that make furries so great?
Thanks :)
-
Furries are so damn nice, talking to you, giving you hugs and stuff. Yeah, found that out at Anime North 2012.
-
We are the next generation of thinkers.
-
They're a bunch of friendly who love to suit up or rp with their friends or with other people.
-
So Furies are people (with a fur) that are nice and respect the difference between people.
The people that I had meet with a tail and ears (at Animecon 2012 almelo), They all where nice and creative.
But there are also people that are nice and don't like Furies :S Most of my friends don't like Furies but they have accept it that I like them.
For me It feels difference but a world where everyone is the same is a boring world ^_^
Thanks for the reply!

The furry community feels above all else like a group of close friends. People ask for help when they're going through dark times, they laugh and joke when the times are better. It's a great community to be a part of.
I also love the furry art (when it's SFW, of course) and sometimes just browse DeviantArt profiles of skilled furry artists.
-
The community is really great and accepting, furs themselves show an affection for... affection and perfection, it's quite a nice system :P
-
Guys, I'm assuming when he's saying "furries" he means anthropomorphic characters. If so, then the term is "anthropomorphic" or "furs", my friend.
This should help.
Why I like...
Being A Furry: Being a furry makes me feel special, feel different, feel unique. I can actually be somebody aside from the constant teasing in my life.
Meeting Furries: It's nice to meet different people for once, learn about their things and traditions, like going to Japan to meet Japanese and learn what they do.
Anthropomorphic Animals In General: I love wolves. I love cats. I love dogs. Give em' clothes, and the ability to talk and stand upright and you have yourself an anthro animal, which are much more awesome! I find anthros so much better than humans. We're so boring.

Furries or anthropomorphics?
The fandom because we're a little collection of pariahs, and that's what I like in a person :P To date I haven't met a furry fitting the social norm.
Anthropomorphics because of the history and symbolism involved.
-
Okey... I'm a noob :'(
What is the diffrence between anthropomorphics and furries?
-
So the question is, when you say "what do you like about furries?"
Do you mean, "what do you like about the community" or "what do you like about the art" let me explain:
Furries is the community, the people who consider themselves furries.
Anthropomorphic art is the actual ART that furries enjoy.
Example:
Furry:

(Obviously not all furries have a fursuit, but again a furry is someone who likes Anthropomorphic art)

(The actual art furries enjoy)

oooh I'm really stupid.
What I mean is what is the reason to be here, why do you like the community.
also if you can tell why you like anthropomorphic characters, go ahead!
Sorry for all of you, I make a lot of mistakes!
-
Oh it's fine, a very common mistake and people seemed to already know you meant the community ^_^
Well I already answered for the community, for the art itself it's more the perfection, warm and cuddliness of the furries, they look more nice, cute and just generally better and more perfect than human pics :P
-
Well for me the furry community is like an underground organization of people all in on a certain theme (furries here XD ) that unites them across different countries, ages, cultures, and lifestyles. When I became a furry, I felt as though I was joining this organization and becoming apart of something big, fun, and quite fuzzy! ^_^
-
Anthropomorphic content is just an extension of my interest in sci-fi/fantasy and animals. The fandom itself is a decent procrastination tool, and some nice artists that don't participate much in other communities post to places like FurAffinity and SoFurry.

A group of people that you can find in each country each cultures everwhere. Yeah that's nice.
Do you still feel the same way? like when you became a furry?

Welcome Bigieu, Nice to meet you!
I don't know if the random a procrastination tool, there also people (like me) that aren't a artist.
then do you use the fandom as a procrastination tool?
-

Yes I definitely do feel the same way! I love it! It's this feeling of interconnectedness that I haven't really felt before

You mean furries as in the people who make up the furry fandom or anthropomorphic characters?

If you take a look at the last reply's you see that I mean the fandom but I'm also interesting why you like anthropomorphic characters ^_^
-
The people always seemed nice and accepting, I'm into the same things, and they really allow you to be who you are without judgement, they just want to have a good time. I always feel like people take things too seriously, and its nice to be somewhere where not everything is just school, work, family, die. I always felt like the furry community was the only place I really fit in. Though, its not like I'm careless to a facetious extent, I know when I need to be serious and mature if the situation comes into being.

Thanks for clearing that up.
Anyways, what I like about the furry fandom is that the people there are very accepting and nice. They also share some of the same interest I do and they're pretty fun to be around.
As for anthropomorphic characters, they just look so much more beautiful, cuddly, cute, and nice that humans.
-
I like the furry community because everyone is so nice and aren't so judgmental about people's differences (for the most part). I like how everyone's so unique. I've met so many new friends since ive became a furry. I kinda just like everything about it ^.^
-
Furries are part of a society based on free thinking...
What's not to like about that?
-
Now it's my time to say why I like it.
I'm new here so it can still change.
It's probably strange but for some reason I feel safe here (what not happend many times).
However I didn't met one of you, It's feels like I can trust most of you.
It's also something that came from my younger years.
-
I totally agree with you Beatnory. To be honest, I wasn't really searching for furries etc. I was searching for a roleplay forum. The first two were really strange (just to say, sm like :() and then I a friend of mine told me about furries. I immediately became interested in it, anthropomorphic animals are awesome. Then I found this site. It is great, the furries are nice, and the roleplays better than normal. Thanks everyone who made this possible!!! :)
-
to me furries are a gathering of artists, enthusiest, writer's, and performers. im personally a reader and writer. ive heard od furries first while watching the discovery channel, by the anthro con c.e.o. i imediatly became interested and looked up more info, naturally. then i found this forum. the rest is history

Why i like being a furry and why i like furries:
The reason i like being a furry because its a art form i enjoy very much and i just love anthropomorphic animals in general. I also think i fit in because every were else i go i dont fit in with anyone. :( I also agree with Beatnory i also feel safer and i feel as if even though i have not really met any of you i feel that i can trust you more. :)
The reason i like furries is because i think there very fun loveing people and i dont see why anyone would hate them in the first place.[size=78%] [/size]
-
I like the fandom for a number of reasons. The art, stories, along with the fact that the fandom as a whole is filled with interesting and generally excepting individuals. As for why I like anthro art I've never really thought about the why. I guess my enjoyment just came about naturally. ^_^
-
The furry community is beautiful. UncleKage, chairman of Anthrocon, said it best in my opinion. And I quote:
"If you go to a furry convention, you'll see black people, you'll see white people, you'll see asian people. You'll see arabic people. You will see Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Christians, Atheists. You will see rich people, you'll see poor people, you'll see young, old, an amazing mixture of people. And when we are here, nobody sees any of those differences. We come here and all we see is another furry. In this little culture of ours, we have found the diversity that America has been after for so many years, which has eluded it's grasp. We found it, just by being us."

I like the deeper connection that it brings between human and animal. I like how certain animals match certain peoples personalities. I like how **censor** adorable they are! And I also like how bad ass they can be as well. I like how the fandom is a good way to escape and kinda be in your own world for a bit. It helps relax any stressful person quite a bit. As long as it doesn't get out of hand.
