As the resident furry, here's the schtick - Being a furry is being part of a virtual community of people on the internet who enjoy imagining themselves as anthropomorphic animals, for whatever reason. Some of us do it because we like the esthetic. Some of us just like the company of other supportive, open minded people, because we have dramatic differences that make us hard to accept otherwise. Some of us are just perverts who like the idea of fooling around with non-humans. (We call ourselves furverts.) We're unusual, but harmless, like gamers.
