    I’m not trying to gatekeep anything. I don’t care what you think is cool. Furries aren’t some form of media or object, they’re people. I don’t assume people are cool based on their hobbies.

      That’s quite pedantic. I didn’t mean that as in “all furries are cool, including Nazis, fascists and other assholes”, I meant more “I like the furry fandom”.

      Furries aren’t done form of media or object, they’re people.

      “Furries” can refer either to people who are part of the furry fandom, or to the furry characters themselves.

      It’s kinda weird that that’s the case, since usually, in furry spaces, the characters are referred to as “anthros” which is short for “anthropomorphic animals”.
