The difference of course being that furries will tolerate and tout the stupidest stuff in the world because it's got "furry" content in it.
I.E. House Pets
You really don't think people of other fandoms do that?
I only know one person like you claim. Every time he sees a game/webcomic/anything with anthro characters he tells me "Oh my god, Adam, you have to check this out, it has furries!" and he's annoying and dumb as forget in many other ways.
I, as well as
every other furry I know (and that's quite a bit) usually think something along the lines of "yeah, but it's not very good"
Like Housepets, it wasn't funny to me at all, there didn't seem to be a storyline, there were just a few 'cute' moments, but that's not something that I would read it for
Being an animal presents too many problems to be appealing to me. Like having fur - shedding, not being able to get it dry quickly after showering, etc.
For me, having a fursona isn't wanting to be it, it's not covering up my own body, it's just having a character. Like one of my friends who's big into anime, she has her own anime-styled character, it's the same thing really; she doesn't want to be it, she doesn't use it to cover her own body, she just uses it as a character.
You don't even have to have one to be a furry, I know plenty who don't
