I’m a little unclear on how the furry identity works. Is it like an LGBT+ thing where you just are this thing regardless of your feelings or desires, or does wanting to be a furry make you one? Like, I’ve fought against being trans much of my life, but now I see I pretty much always was. But I don’t know if liking the puppygirl idea makes me a furry, or if that’s something I have to have always been? (this is not a reaction to a recently popular puppygirl, I’ve meant to ask this for a while) I also may be terribly misunderstanding furries; that’s a taboo subject where I live, so I don’t know much.
Do you generally like anthropomorphic animal people? Do you self identify as a furry? If your answer to the second question is no, then you’re not a furry! If it’s yes, then you are a furry! It’s that easy!
There are no hard and fast rules to being a furry, and anyone who labels you as one against your wishes is an asshole. You can go to a furry convention for fun and still not be a furry.
It’s completely vibes based.
