Furry
The furry fandom is a "fandom" that revolves around anthropomorphic animal characters. These characters have human-like personalities, traits characteristics and sometimes behavior; Whether it's facial expressions, the ability to speak, walk on two legs or wear clothing, each character is unique in its own way. The furry fandom consists of a community of people who gather online or at furry conventions. Costumes (fursuits) are also popular within the furry fandom. Supporters of this subculture are called furries.
Etymology and Usage
The term "furry" comes from the English word "fur," referring to the dense hair covering the bodies of most mammals. The term with its current meaning first appeared in the 1980s when early fans of anthropomorphic animals began gathering at various conventions.
Before its current meaning, the word "furry" described both anthropomorphic animal characters and the people that were interested in them. Over time, it evolved into a formal identity marker for members of the furry fandom.
