Odd topic I find on my return to my lovely community; so the initial question is what makes some one a furry (or want to be) but to answer a question you would have to ask each individual fur, furry fan, or what ever you wish to call "them". What makes some one something is each diffrent and is affected by there rearing (look it up if you do not understand it), there tolerance of things, fetishes (doesn't have to be sexual), and stuff like that. Some furs might be similar but the little stuff is always the foundation.
The reason for most non furs to think its all gays and stuff may be because it started as mainly gays, gay is nothing short of taboo in the early days so another taboo is nothing to them but a straight person it may be.
As with the furvert stuff, we all enjoy certain things. Some people enjoy other things that some may not and may enjoy it in the more sexual ways. I think the only Miss understanding thing some non fur rs may have is people who enjoy other animals (if you caught what I was saying
) are most defiantly not fur rs (they may be but not for that reason). People who enjoy yiff, or yiffing, most of the time will not enjoy, or condone enjoying an actual animal.
And the reason I put "those" in quotations if you where wandering is because you speak as if we are some foreign alien that is nothing short of a blight to society
