Author Topic: Furry Megathread - Furry Things Here  (Read 5232407 times)

According to the dumb commonly accepted Wikipedia definition of furry, those who have feral characters instead of anthro ones aren't even furries.

Literally no one thinks this

"The furry fandom is a subculture interested in fictional anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics."

Apparently it means anyone who has a purely feral and animalistic fursona, with no speech or writing or anything, isn't considered a furry.

Also, what does 'Human personality' even mean? I know that nothing on Earth seems to exhibit personality like we do, but, if I were to give a character of mine a militant personality that is like my own, and pretty much all of my characters do to some degree, it wouldn't be a strictly Human one.

Literally no one thinks this

Clearly nobody does think like that, but when you look at the definition and think about that, then there's the realization. The definition is flawed.

No part of that sentence says that

You say "feral instead of anthro" as if the two are mutually exclusive
Anthro does not === bipedal
Bipedalism is just one possible aspect of anthropomorphism



I'm also very curious as to who originally came up with that definition of "feral"
Because the usual definition is much different (a wild animal, especially that of a species that is usually domesticated)

Anthropomorphism has existed for a long time and can be applied to literally anything. It exists in literature as a figurative device to give a sense of closeness to objects or things. "The darkness hungers for your light." Darkness isn't alive and can't hunger. Its merely the lack of visible photonic wavelengths. But its a way of getting an idea across.

Funny you should say that, because I just started playing Destiny again to see if there's anything new to do without Rise of Iron.

If you're that close to the age of consent, wouldn't you be able to just tell them you're 18?
