Hey there! Pleased to meet you, I’m Magma!
The answer for your question is fairly simple, furries are people who think anthro animals are neat. That’s it. That’s all it is. Some people draw their own characters, others just admire properties such as Disney cartoons or Nintendo games that feature anthros. A common misconception is that furries are attracted to animals, which is simply untrue. Zoophiles have no place in our fandom, and we’re obviously trying to distance ourselves from that godawful behavior, though sadly that is what we’re most known for. The worst are always the loudest, yeah? But overall, the furry fandom is simply a group of creatives that all share one thing in common, the love of fantasy artwork.
