What is a furry?

From my experience and point of view, I see the furry fandom as something to be used as a means of escaping real life, and living in your own paradise. It's generally regarded that the Disney version of Robin Hood, made in the late seventies, is the first 'furry' movie and what might have started it all. Don't quote me on that though, I'm not entirely sure myself, especially since Disney made furry movies before that (ie Bambi and Lady and the Tramp).

I don't dress up in a costume, and I probably never will for that matter; that's just embarrassing. While I'm especially fond of furry artwork, I don't like the porn as much as the clean art, because one, the furries that draw porn aren't really good at it, since they likely haven't studied the human/animal anatomy enough, two, most furry porn just isn't satisfying enough for me (ARTISTICALLY. Not the other kind of satisfying) and three, the artists that CAN draw evidently don't focus on porno at all.

I don't necessarily have an "inner animal", nor do I have a "fursona" on the web. Hell, I don't even browse furry porn sites on a regular basis, I only do that maybe once or twice a month if I remember, since I'm almost always busy with other things. But I think the reason why non-furries hate the fandom so much is because of the fact that most of it focuses on the porno, and because most of the furries can't keep it to themselves (animal phrases like "marf", "woof", whatever, offensive avatars/signatures, publically announcing that something pleasured them, etc.).

I really can't speak for most of the fandom and what they do, because really, I don't know what they think and I haven't really researched that deep into it, hence why I'm only talking from my stance.

Somehow I can see this eventually being moved to the Sewers.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Add aku to that as well.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I have the majority of his artwork, including a bunch of original sketched versions of finished drawings, maybe I could post them all in a journal entry sometime? Not including the sketches, of course. He'd need them kept secret so that asshats at DA or FA can't claim his art as their own.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
